Alex Verdugo Sitting Again Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Verdugo also sat out of Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets, and the team had an off day on Monday. It's a bit concerning that Verdugo isn't back in the lineup, especially against Braves […]

Corbin Carroll Resting On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 22-year-old outfielder. Alek Thomas will cover center field and bat ninth versus left-hander Steven Matz on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to adjust their lineups […]

J.D. Martinez Returning On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game due to left hamstring tightness. The Dodgers decided to hold Martinez out of Monday's game as a precaution.

Dodgers Acquiring Enrique Hernandez From Red Sox

The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, according to sources. It's unclear what the Dodgers are sending Boston in return. Hernandez will return to the Dodgers after playing for the team from 2015-2020. He has spent the last two-plus seasons in Beantown, hitting .234/.308/.382 with 32 […]

Tommy Pham Not Ready To Return

New York Mets outfielder Tommy Pham (groin) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday with the team taking on the New York Yankees.

Lane Thomas Back In Tuesday's Lineup

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Colorado Rockies and left-hander Austin Gomber, starting in right field and batting in the two-hole.

Garrett Cooper Returns From Illness

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (illness) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Tyler Glasnow and the Tampa Bay Rays. He's starting at first base and batting third in the lineup. Cooper was scratched from Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies with an illness, but he's apparently feeling good enough to […]

Mike Trout Does Some Running

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) did some running drills on Tuesday, but he isn't expected back from the injured list until August while recovering from a fractured left hamate bone that required surgery. It's good to see Trout returning to baseball activities, but he still has a ways to go before he's ready […]

Aaron Hicks Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left-hamstring strain sustained in Monday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Aaron Judge Taking Live At-Bats Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) is taking live at-bats in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday, and he appears to be in the "log-at-bats-quickly" phase, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. Judge is getting closer to returning to the Yankees after tearing a ligament in his right big toe in early June. However, […]

Twins Nearing Deal With First-Rounder Walker Jenkins

Lane Thomas Leaves Early After HBP

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas left early on Monday after getting hit by a pitch. Thomas was hit by a Gavin Hollowell pitch in the eighth inning and was replaced in the game by pinch-runner Ildemaro Vargas. It is possible that Thomas' removal from the game was precautionary as the Nationals were down 8-1 at […]

Tyler O'Neill Not Starting Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the team's lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. O'Neill was reinstated from the injured list last week and started four straight games spanning from Thursday to Sunday, so the team is likely looking to give him a day of rest. The Cards will have […]

Aaron Hicks Exits Early

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks left his team's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after he appeared to injure himself while attempting to make a diving catch.

Adam Duvall Receiving Trade Interest From Braves

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall is being eyed by the Atlanta Braves prior to the Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline. Of course, the Braves are familiar with Duvall as the slugger spent parts of four seasons in Atlanta, providing them with excellent production for the vast majority of that time. It's no surprise to […]

Jack Suwinski Returns To Starting Lineup Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski is back in the starting lineup Monday night against San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. The lefty-swinging Suwinski didn't start Sunday's series finale against the Angels and southpaw Tyler Anderson but will predictably get right back into the lineup against a righty on Monday. It's been a big season for […]

Adolis Garcia Remains Out Of The Lineup

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. The 30-year-old slugger was hit by a pitch on the hand during Saturday's game. He sat out of Sunday's contest as a precaution and will miss this game as well. It sounds like a day-to-day issue, […]

Raimel Tapia Elects Free Agency

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Raimel Tapia has decided to elect free agency on Monday. He was recently designated for assignment by the organization in order to make room for Sal Frelick on the active roster. The 29-year-old spent time with the Boston Red Sox earlier in the season before joining the Brewers. He's slashing .230/.308/.388 with […]

Johan Rojas In The Lineup On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Kris Bryant Remains Out On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The right-handed slugger will miss his second straight game as he continues to nurse a finger contusion he suffered over the weekend. The assumption is that he'll avoid the injured list, so fantasy managers should consider […]

Joey Gallo, Willi Castro Back In Lineup Against Mariners

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (eye) is starting in center field and batting in the nine-hole for the Twins on Monday against right-hander Luis Castillo and the Seattle Mariners. Infielder Willi Castro (eye) is also back in the lineup, starting at third base and batting sixth. Both Gallo and Castro are returning from a bout […]

Donovan Solano, Michael Taylor Resting Monday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Donovan Solano and outfielder Michael Taylor are both out of the starting lineup on Monday against the visiting Seattle Mariners. Instead, Willi Castro will start at third base and bat sixth, while Trevor Larnach makes the start in right field and hits seventh against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Solano went hitless […]

Byron Buxton Placed On Paternity List

The Minnesota Twins officially placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the paternity list on Monday and recalled outfielder Trevor Larnach from the minors in a corresponding move. There's a chance that Buxton will miss all of this week's series against the Seattle Mariners, so fantasy managers need to act accordingly with their starting lineups for the […]
