James Wood Continues To Impress In High-A

Washington Nationals top prospect James Wood went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBI for the Wilmington Blue Rocks on Thursday. Wood's three-hit performance was his second in as many days and his third multi-hit game in a row. Wood is slashing .293/.390/.565 in High-A with seven home runs, nine doubles, and […]

Justyn-Henry Malloy Stays Productive In Triple-A

Detroit Tigers third base prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy drew a bases-loaded walk in Saturday's game for the Toledo Mud Hens. Malloy followed up by going 2-for-5 with two doubles in last Sunday's contest. Malloy is the seventh-ranked prospect in the Tigers system and the best third baseman they have in Triple-A. It's unclear if Malloy will […]

Cristian Pache Could May Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Clearwater on Wednesday. The 24-year-old appeared in 18 games this season, amassing a .360 average with nine hits and four RBI. However, he tore the meniscus in his right knee at the end of April, resulting in surgery. Although it's […]

James Outman Absent From The Starting Lineup On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. This looks to just be a day off for the 26-year-old who's slashing just .156/.235/.267 over the last 15 games. Mookie Betts is starting in right field, Jason Heyward is in center, and David Peralta is in […]

Anthony Santander Getting The Day Off On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Texas Rangers.

Ryan McKenna is starting in right field in his place and batting eighth against Andrew Heaney.

Eloy Jimenez Could Return To The Team As Soon As Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy) could return to the team as early as Sunday against the Detroit Tigers, per manager Pedro Grifol.

Luis Robert Jr. Out Against Tigers

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. Robert dealt with tightness in his hip earlier in the week and didn't play on Wednesday, but this looks to be just a normal day of rest for the oft-injured outfielder. In the two games […]

Michael Brantley Not Hitting Yet

According to Astros manager Dusty Baker, outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) hasn't resumed hitting. Although the 36-year-old has swung a bat, it doesn't appear he's anywhere close to a return. Brantley has been on the shelf since June 2022 and underwent surgery in August. At this rate, nobody knows for sure when he will be back […]

Adam Duvall To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall (wrist) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester. Duvall resumed hitting off a tee and doing soft toss last weekend, so he's expected to be around three weeks from returning to the major-league roster. The 34-year-old power-hitting outfielder has been rehabbing from a fractured left […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy has been officially recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Joey Gallo Continues To Sit Out

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The left-handed slugger has been sidelined since Sunday due to a hamstring issue. It doesn't sound like the Twins plan on placing Gallo on the injured list. Instead, they will continue to give him rest […]

Mickey Moniak Remains Out Of The Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. The left-handed slugger will receive his second rest day in a row. The Angels are facing another left-handed starter, so they've decided to give Moniak another day off. Taylor Ward will bat leadoff and cover left […]

Nolan Jones Recalled, Brenton Doyle Not Expected To Go On IL

The Colorado Rockies will recall corner infielder/outfielder Nolan Jones from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and option first baseman Michael Toglia to Albuquerque in a corresponding move. The belief is rookie outfielder Brenton Doyle (knee) won't land on the 10-day injured list after injuring his knee during a crash into the outfield wall on Thursday. Doyle, […]

Cedric Mullins Returns To Lineup Against Rangers

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is back in the starting lineup and his customary leadoff spot on Friday to face right-hander Jon Gray and the Texas Rangers at Camden Yards.

Giancarlo Stanton Takes Batting Practice Friday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) took on-field batting practice off a machine on Friday at Yankee Stadium. Stanton isn't quite ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, but he's expected to go on one early next week. If all goes well next week in live game action, the 33-year-old All-Star […]

Drew Waters Activated And Making Season Debut

The Kansas City Royals reinstated outfield prospect Drew Waters (back, oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned infielder/outfielder Nate Eaton to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Yankees Officially Release Aaron Hicks

The New York Yankees officially released outfielder Aaron Hicks on Friday to make room for rookie right-hander Randy Vasquez, who will make his major-league debut on Friday in a start against the San Diego Padres.

Jesus Sanchez Starting Rehab Assignment Friday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) is beginning a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday night. Barring a setback in game action this weekend, Sanchez figures to come off the injured list and rejoin Miami's lineup sometime early next week. The 25-year-old was initially put on the injured list back on May 14 […]

Wil Myers Goes On 10-Day Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds placed outfielder Wil Myers (kidney) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with kidney stones and recalled outfielder Will Benson from the minors in a corresponding move. Myers missed the previous two games, and now we know why. The 32-year-old has really struggled so far in his first year in Cincinnati, hitting […]

Seiya Suzuki Resting Against Reds

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki will take the day off on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds. The day off isn't because he's been struggling, either, as Suzuki has gone 12-for-32 (.375) with two doubles, four home runs, seven RBI and a stolen base in his last nine games. The 28-year-old Japanese outfielder is having a […]

Giancarlo Stanton Not Ready Yet For A Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) won't begin his rehab assignment this weekend, but it's still possible it could start early next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Overvalued, Undervalued Trade Targets - Buy/Sell for Fantasy Baseball (Week 9)

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball. Almost as much as the draft, if not more.

Jones was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque by the Rockies […]
