Cody Bellinger Homers Again Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, and his 24th home run in a win over the San Francisco Giants Wednesday afternoon. Bellinger's OPS now sits at .920 and has played like a borderline top-five outfielder this season and may only be behind Freddie Freeman at first base […]

Adolis Garcia Leaves Early With Injury

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia left the game against the Houston Astros early Wednesday night with right knee discomfort. Garcia lept to rob a Michael Brantley home run and stayed down for a few moments. It'd be a tough blow for the Rangers and fantasy managers alike if he has to miss time, as Garcia […]

Cedric Mullins Remains Out On Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 28-year-old will miss his second game in a row with the O's facing back-to-back left-handed starters. The O's will deploy Austin Hays, Aaron Hicks, and Anthony Santander will the outfield versus lefty Patrick Sandoval on […]

Chas McCormick Heads To The Bench

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. This is odd timing considering McCormick has been red-hot at the plate recently. The 28-year-old currently holds a seven-game hitting streak where he's gone 11-for-21 at the plate during that time. The assumption is that he'll return […]

Corbin Carroll Removed Early On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (wrist) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 23-year-old was pulled from the contest after being hit by a pitch in the wrist on Wednesday. The team is calling the injury a wrist contusion, so it could've been worse. It appears Carroll has avoided serious injury, […]

DJ Stewart Missing Another Game

New York Mets outfielder DJ Stewart (back) is sitting for the second straight game on Wednesday as the team takes on the Washington Nationals in D.C. Stewart is dealing with lower-back tightness and should be considered day-to-day. With the 29-year-old left-handed hitter out again, Rafael Ortega will draw a start in right field and hit […]

Tyler O'Neill Not Playing On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. The Cardinals will give O'Neill the night off against tough right-hander Spencer Strider, even after he went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in the win over Atlanta on […]

Luis Robert Jr. Returns Against Royals

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (quadriceps) is back in center field and is batting in the three-hole for the White Sox on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Jordan Lyles. Robert missed the last four games due to cramping in his right quadriceps muscle, but he's back in there now and […]

Jorge Soler Goes On 10-Day Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right-oblique strain and recalled outfielder Dane Myers from the minors in a corresponding move. The Fish also recalled right-hander Edward Cabrera and selected the contract of Devin Smeltzer and designated pitcher Geoff Hartlieb for assignment. Soler returned […]

Jorge Soler Returning To The Bench Wednesday

Miami Marlins outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler is not in the club's starting lineup Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Lance Lynn. Soler returned from a hip injury on Tuesday night and went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks and a run scored but will predictably get a day off to rest after a […]

Charlie Blackmon Taking A Seat Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the club's starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zach Davies. The longtime Rockie hit leadoff on Tuesday night while going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run, and an RBI on the evening, the latter of which provided the eventual game-winning run in a […]

Brent Rooker Back In The Starting Lineup Wednesday

Oakland A's outfielder Brent Rooker is back in the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Blue Jays and left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu. Rooker didn't appear in Tuesday night's 7-1 loss against a tough right-hander in Chris Bassitt but will re-enter the lineup and hit second while manning left field on Wednesday. The 28-year-old has enjoyed […]

Daulton Varsho Re-Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho is back in the starting lineup Wednesday when his club takes on the Oakland A's and left-hander JP Sears. The lefty-swinging Varsho sat against another lefty in the A's Ken Waldichuk on Tuesday but will return to take on Sears on Wednesday afternoon. It's largely been a disappointing season […]

Seth Brown Records Multi-Hit Game Against Blue Jays

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two strikeouts in the team's 7-1 loss to the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. The left-handed-hitting Brown is only hitting .215 (62-for-289) on the season with 13 home runs, 45 RBI and 29 runs scored in 92 games (319 […]

Andrew McCutchen To Be In Walking Boot For Six Weeks

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen (Achilles) will be in a walking boot for six weeks, which basically means his 2023 season has come to an end. The Pirates placed McCutchen on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a partial tear of his left Achilles. The 36-year-old veteran is set to hit free agency this […]

Will Simpson Enjoying Success At The Plate

Oakland Athletics prospect Will Simpson is quite new to the organization, having recently joined the team as a 15th-round pick in the 2023 draft. The University of Washington product has impressive bat-to-ball skills and undeniable power, though there are concerns about his plate discipline and K/BB rate over a larger sample size. But what hurt […]

Jarred Kelenic Could Return This Week

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) has been on a rehab assignment since last week, playing right field a couple of times for Triple-A Tacoma. So far, there's been no setback, and there's a chance the former top prospect could return to the big leagues later this week. Kelenic has been on the shelf since […]

Teoscar Hernandez Homers Again, Plates Two Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his hot streak in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Reds. Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, a walk, and a strikeout. The 30-year-old has now brought his season slash line up to .267/.311/.465 with 25 HR, 86 RBI, and six stolen bases. Fantasy managers will […]

Giancarlo Stanton Joins 400-Homer Club Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton made history in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Tigers. Stanton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts. The 33-year-old now has 400 career HR and became the fourth-fastest player by games in Major League history to achieve that mark. This is his second consecutive season […]

DJ Stewart Dealing With Back Tightness

New York Mets outfielder DJ Stewart (back) sat out of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals due to lower-back tightness. Stewart's injury is considered minor, so fantasy managers should view him as day-to-day for now. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter has played well since the Mets brought him up in June, as he's currently hitting .265 […]

Jo Adell Resumes Hitting

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (oblique) has resumed hitting at the team's spring training facilities in Arizona, and the team is hopeful that he can return this season. The 24-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since July 8 and was later moved to the 60-day injured list. "It's gonna take him a minute to […]

Mike Trout Expects To Return This Year

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) said he expects to return this year. He initially returned from the injured list on Aug. 22 after missing 38 games with a fractured left hamate bone, but he played in just one game before going right back on the injured list on Aug. 25. Trout admitted he […]

Cedric Mullins To Sit Out On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for the 28-year-old outfielder. The O's will play the matchup game here with left-hander Reid Detmers on the mound for the Halos. Ryan McKenna will […]

Hunter Renfroe Scratched On Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) has been scratched ahead of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 31-year-old slugger was pulled from the lineup due to left hamstring tightness. The organization believes the injury is day-to-day, so Renfroe shouldn't require a trip to the injured list. In his absence, Harrison Bader will cover center […]
