Champ or Chump: Jake Mangum and Kyle Stowers Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

Fantasy managers care about prospect pedigree when evaluating young players, and many top prospects go on to have great careers. However, we have to remember that pedigree is not essential for fantasy production. Whit Merrifield was never a huge prospect and still put up quality fantasy seasons. Such players are even more undervalued if they […]

Stashing the right prospect can provide a significant boost to your fantasy team, especially in the second half of the campaign.

In this piece, we […]

Alec Burleson Exits Early Monday With Foot Contusion

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson (foot) exited Monday's 6-2 win over the Rockies in the seventh inning with a contusion on the top of his foot after fouling a ball off of himself, per the Athletic's Katie Woo. Burleson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts before being replaced by Garrett Hampson. […]

Starling Marte Should Rejoin Mets This Week

New York Mets outfielder/designated hitter Starling Marte (knee) should come off the 10-day injured list and rejoin the team this week, per manager Carlos Mendoza. Marte still needs another couple of days, but he most likely will not require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning. Barring a setback for the 36-year-old veteran over the next […]

Chris Taylor Activated From Injured List on Monday

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated outfielder Chris Taylor (hand) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned outfielder Gustavo Campero to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Taylor did not start in Monday's 7-5 loss to the hosting New York Mets at Citi Field, but he entered the game late as a pinch-hitter […]

Justin Foscue, Alejandro Osuna Optioned to Triple-A

Texas Rangers infielder Justin Foscue and outfielder Alejandro Osuna were optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. Neither player was getting starts on a regular basis, and neither was hitting well, with Foscue going 0-for-3 in just one game during his latest stint, while Osuna was slashing .164/.293/.224 in 82 plate appearances stretching back to late May. […]

Alec Burleson Fouls Pitch Off Knee, Leaves Early on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Alec Burleson (knee) was removed from Monday's game early at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies after fouling a pitch off his right knee in the seventh inning, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Burleson looked to be in a lot of pain as he limped to the dugout. He was […]

Denzel Clarke Heading to Injured List With Adductor Strain

Athletics rookie outfielder Denzel Clarke (groin) will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 adductor strain, reports Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. There hasn't been an official timeline released, but the injury is expected to sideline him for at least a couple of weeks. The official transaction with a corresponding move is […]

Yordan Alvarez Hitting Slow Toss

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (hand) began hitting some slow toss on Monday, reports Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. His hand is feeling good, but is continuing to progress slowly with caution. The slugger has made it to this point in his rehab multiple times already, but was shut down each time with soreness in his […]

Anthony Santander Still Not Swinging the Bat

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) is still a few weeks away from swinging the bat, according to manager John Schneider. Yikes, this is tough news with Santander having no timetable to return. He has been out since late May due to a left shoulder issue. He would likely need a few weeks to […]

Denzel Clarke Taking a Seat on Monday

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (hip) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Clarke was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game. He exited the contest with left hip discomfort and will sit out this game with the same issue. […]

Pete Crow-Armstrong Sitting with Knee Bruise

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) will take a seat ahead of Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Crow-Armstrong was injured on a slide during Sunday's loss, according to manager Craig Counsell. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as it only sounds like a knee bruise. He should be considered as day-to-day with a […]

Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice Out Against Toronto

New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger and first baseman Ben Rice are both sitting for Monday's series opener in Canada against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. Trent Grisham will start in center field and will bat leadoff for the Yankees, while Paul Goldschmidt handles first base and hits sixth versus Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. […]

Jackson Merrill Back From Illness

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill (illness) is starting in center field and is batting sixth on Monday in the series opener in Miami against the Marlins and right-hander Eury Perez. Merrill was under the weather on Sunday and was scratched from the starting lineup in the series finale against the Washington Nationals, but he's […]

Javier Baez Out for Series Opener

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Javier Baez (shoulder) is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Pittsburgh against the Pirates at PNC Park. Baez will take a seat to begin the week after aggravating a left-shoulder injury in Sunday's victory over the Texas Rangers and being pulled early. It doesn't sound like a […]

Steven Kwan Back in Lineup on Monday

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (wrist) is back in left field and is batting leadoff for Monday's series opener against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. The Guardians held Kwan out of each of the first three games of the second half from Friday through Sunday due to an injury to his right […]

George Wolkow Homers in Four-Hit Game

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect George Wolkow hit a two-run home run in a 4-for-5 day at the plate on Sunday for Single-A Kannapolis, collecting three singles and scoring three times as well. It has been an up-and-down season for the power-hitting lefty, going through hot stretches mixed with prolonged cold stretches. The 19-year-old appears […]

Starling Marte Should Return by End of July

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) won't be back as quickly as the team had initially hoped, but The Athletic's Tim Britton says that he should return by the end of July. Marte has taken batting practice, though, so his return isn't all that far off, barring a setback. The 36-year-old veteran has recovered […]

Chris Taylor Nearing a Return

Los Angeles Angels utility man Chris Taylor (hand) started his minor-league rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday and has gone 4-for-6 with two RBI in two games played so far. Taylor was hit by a pitch on June 9, and X-rays revealed a left-hand fracture. The 34-year-old veteran began the season […]

Nationals Shopping Multiple Players Ahead of Trade Deadline

The Washington Nationals are making reliever Kyle Finnegan, utility man Amed Rosario, right-hander Mike Soroka, and first basemen Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Bell available at the trade deadline, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Washington is 21 games under .500 entering play on Monday, so they will clearly be in sell-mode over the next […]

Multiple Diamondbacks on the Trade Block

The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed third baseman Eugenio Suarez, first baseman Josh Naylor, reliever Shelby Miller, outfielder Randal Grichuk, and starting pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly on the trade block, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Arizona is 50-50 entering play on Monday, 4 1/2 games back of the San Diego Padres for […]
