Ceddanne Rafaela On Fire In Triple-A

Boston Red Sox top outfield prospect Ceddanne Rafaela went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's game in Triple-A. Rafaela was promoted to Triple-A in late June and has been hitting well ever since. The 22-year-old prospect had six home runs and 18 doubles in 60 games in Double-A, but he has hit […]

Gavin Cross Launches Second Home Run In Past Three Games

Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Gavin Cross launched his 12th home run of the season on Sunday, part of a two-hit performance. The 22-year-old carries an uninspiring .699 OPS through 86 games with High-A Quad Cities this season, looking to build off the 1.070 OPS he posted across 29 games in 2022. Despite the struggles, […]

Jake Marisnick Will Miss At Least Three Weeks

According to Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts, outfielder Jake Marisnick (hamstring) will miss "at least three weeks." The 32-year-old, who recently joined the Dodgers, exited Tuesday's meeting against the Orioles because of a hamstring injury. However, Marisnick likely isn't featured on many fantasy rosters, and that probably won't change once he returns unless he becomes a […]

Alex Verdugo Is Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets. This looks to just be a day off for the struggling outfielder who is slashing a meager .077/.200/.115 with one RBI and one stolen base over the last seven games. Boston is going with Masataka […]

Aaron Judge Had Live Batting Practice Session Prior To Sunday's Game

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) took live batting practice prior to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The good news is that Judge made it through the session without any apparent setbacks. But the bad news is that there is still no timetable for his return. Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters […]

Taylor Trammell Starting On Sunday Against Toronto

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell is starting in left field for Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays. Trammell was called up in the wake of Jarred Kelenic's (foot) injury earlier in the week so this will be his first game starting. Dylan Moore, who's played in every contest since Kelenic went down, will […]

Kris Bryant, C.J. Cron Absent From Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) and C.J. Cron (back) are both out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. Bryant will sit out after leaving Saturday's contest early after being hit by a pitch on his finger, although X-rays came back negative. Cron will miss his second straight game due to […]

Jake Bauers Activated And Starting Sunday

The New York Yankees activated outfielders Jake Bauers (shoulder) and Greg Allen (hip) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned infielder/outfielder Franchy Cordero to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Bauers is immediately back in the team's starting lineup on Sunday to face right-hander Jordan Lyles and the Kansas City Royals. He's playing […]

Harrison Bader Returns To Sunday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader (ribs) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday, starting in center field and batting sixth against the visiting Kansas City Royals and right-hander Jordan Lyles.

X-Rays Negative On Adolis Garcia's Hand

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (hand) exited Saturday's contest versus the Los Angeles Dodgers after getting nailed in the right hand by a pitch. Fortunately, X-Rays were negative, although that doesn't mean he'll be available for the series finale on Sunday. Garcia, who went hitless in one at-bat on Saturday, should be considered day-to-day.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. The 31-year-old was hit by a pitch on the right hand during the fourth inning of Saturday's contest.
