Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball. It's almost as important as the draft, if not more.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) is doing well in his recovery from a left-hamstring injury and could come off the injured list on Sunday or Monday.

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the level of concern for outfielder Corbin Carroll (shoulder) is "minimal," and he's not currently set to undergo any testing after leaving Thursday's game early against the Tampa Bay Rays with right-shoulder soreness. It's the same shoulder that Carroll had surgery on in 2021, but […]

Seiya Suzuki Still Absent Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) remains absent from the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.

Consider Cooper day-to-day for now, […]

Michael Conforto Not Playing Thursday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays after leaving Wednesday's game early due to left-hamstring tightness after attempting to make a catch near the outfield wall.

Randy Arozarena Out On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the starting lineup on Thursday as the team takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Michael Brantley Hits Again Wednesday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) hit on the field on Tuesday and hit in the batting cages on Wednesday. He was also fielding balls in left field before Wednesday's game.

Yordan Alvarez Hits Off Tee Wednesday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (oblique) hit off a tee on Wednesday and also did soft toss in the batting cages.
