Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old has been pulled from the lineup due to an illness. The team is considering Betts as day-to-day, so hopefully he'll return to the lineup on Sunday. Kike Hernandez will replace him […]

Tim Locastro Activated, Playing On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Tim Locastro (thumb) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The 31-year-old speedster has been sidelined since mid-May due to a thumb injury.

Chas McCormick Returns To The Lineup

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (knee) is returning to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

He's slashing .277/.368/.522 […]

Lane Thomas Scratched On Saturday

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas (wrist) is scratched from Saturday's starting lineup versus the Oakland Athletics. This comes a day after Thomas was hit by a pitch in the wrist.

Esteury Ruiz Out Of The Lineup On Saturday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 24-year-old speedster. Ruiz recently came off the injured list and still leads the MLB with 46 stolen bases in 91 games this season. In his absence, Lawrence […]

Luis Robert Jr. Remains Out Of The Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 26-year-old suffered a sprained right pinkie during Wednesday's game. It doesn't appear to be a long term issue, but Robert has been out of the lineup since leaving early on Wednesday. For now, […]

Jorge Soler Resting Against Yankees

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler will start Saturday's game against the visiting New York Yankees on the bench. Josh Bell will get the start as the designated hitter and will bat second, with Yuli Gurriel starting at first base and batting seventh against Yankees right-hander Michael King.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that outfielder Kyle Schwarber (foot) is dealing with a foot contusion after being removed from Friday's game early against the Minnesota Twins when he fouled a ball off his foot. Schwarber is sore and will be re-evaluated on Saturday morning. It sounds like a day-to-day situation, but fantasy managers […]

Kyle Schwarber Leaves Game Friday Night

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (foot) was removed from Friday's game after fouling a ball off his foot. Gelb's report noted it didn't look serious and teammates were "razzing" him in the dugout. Nonetheless, expect some tests to be done for the slugger and an update to come when those tests are available.

Aaron Judge Hits 22nd Homer

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge took Miami Marlins starter Jesus Luzardo deep on Friday night. Judge homered on August 8th when the Yankees won 7-1 against the White Sox and homered in the win against Miami on Friday. As Judge goes, the Yankees and fantasy lineups go. The large righty has homered every 9.73 […]

Tony Kemp Goes On Paternity List

The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Tony Kemp on the paternity list on Friday and recalled rookie outfielder Lawrence Butler from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Kemp will most likely miss the entire weekend series against the Washington Nationals on the road. The 31-year-old has only been useful in deeper leagues for his speed […]

Nick Senzel Sent To Triple-A

The Cincinnati Reds optioned infielder/outfielder Nick Senzel to Triple-A Louisville on Friday and selected the contract of outfielder Henry Ramos from Louisville in a corresponding move. The Reds also designated right-hander Eduardo Salazar for assignment. Senzel had been seeing pretty regular playing time at third base recently for the Reds, but they'll send him down […]

Chas McCormick Still Out Friday

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (knee) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. McCormick suffered a bruised left knee while diving for a ball on Wednesday and was scratched from Thursday's lineup, so he'll miss his second straight game. The 28-year-old's injury isn't believed to be serious, […]

Mike Trout Hitting Off Machine

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) has progressed to hitting off a pitching machine on Friday. The 32-year-old recently took some swings with soft-toss, but now is taking a step forward and hitting against a machine. It's worth noting that the machine only threw breaking balls to Trout. The superstar slugger hasn't advanced to […]

Austin Hays Absent On Friday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 28-year-old has been dealing with general soreness lately, but this absence doesn't appear to be injury related. This seems to be a routine rest day after Hays went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts during Thursday's contest. The […]

Luis Robert Jr. Out On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This news comes after Robert was removed early on Wednesday due to a sprained pinkie finger. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Robert is currently considered as day-to-day. The hope is that Robert […]

Riley Greene Rests Against Southpaw

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is out of the team's starting lineup on Friday against left-hander Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox.
