Jazz Chisholm Jr. Absent On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals.

Michael Brantley Hits Plateau In His Recovery

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) has "plateaued" in his attempt to come back from right-shoulder surgery last year, according to manager Dusty Baker.

Seiya Suzuki Still Feeling Neck Issues

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said that outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is still feeling neck issues, which is why he wasn't included in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers.

Steven Kwan Considered Day-To-Day

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (shoulder) was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs.

Mickey Moniak Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak has been quietly having a good season through his first 28 games of the 2023 campaign. He came through as the hero during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Moniak unleashed a 406-foot three-run home run to give the Halos a 4-2 lead. He finished the game 1-for-3, but […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Exits Early Against Atlanta

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) exited Sunday's meeting with the Atlanta Braves. He lasted eight innings, going 1-for-3 with two strikeouts before leaving with a left oblique strain.

Corbin Carroll Set To Miss Third Straight Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday in the series finale against the Los Angeles Angels.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan (arm) is back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the New York Yankees.

Bryan De La Cruz Getting A Day Of Rest

Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz isn't in the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves. The Fish will give De La Cruz a breather after he snapped an 11-game hitting streak on Saturday by going 0-for-4 with a strikeout. In his absence, Jesus Sanchez will get the nod in left […]

Masataka Yoshida Out On Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Yoshida had to be removed from Saturday's game early against Toronto after being hit on the leg by a pitch, but X-rays turned up negative, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. After […]

Bryan Reynolds Back From The Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and placed infielder/outfielder Ji Hwan Bae (foot) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
