Travis Jankowski Leaves Early On Wednesday
Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski has left Wednesday's game against the Reds early due to left hip tightness. Jankowski was seemingly injured after diving for a ball in the outfield and was replaced by Leody Taveras who took over in center field and hit second in the lineup in Jankowski's stead. It's been a scorching-hot […]

Wil Myers Scratched With Illness
Cincinnati Reds first baseman/outfielder Wil Myers (illness) has been scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Texas Rangers with an illness. Myers missed the team's win over the Rangers on Tuesday with neck spasms, but now he'll be forced to sit out the following day with an illness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. […]

Byron Buxton Sitting Out Wednesday
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the New York Yankees. It looks to be a regular day of rest for Buxton in a day game on Wednesday. The 29-year-old has been eased into action mostly as the team's designated hitter early in 2023, and he's batting .244 […]

Austin Hays Could Miss A Few Days
Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that outfielder Austin Hays' bruised right hand is "pretty sore" but feels better. Hays had to be removed early from the game on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox after being hit by a pitch on his hand during a bunt attempt, but the hope is that he'll only […]

Evan Carter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis
PROSPECT: Evan Carter, OF, Texas Rangers ANALYSIS: A number of heads turned when the Rangers announced Carter as their second-round selection in the 2020 draft. In the COVID season, few had seen Carter play, and he was not highly ranked coming into the draft. Carter has been elite ever since, with a .290/.417/.478 minor league […]

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (elbow) has joined Triple-A Nashville to continue his rehab assignment after he played in Arizona for a week, according to MLB.com.

Fantasy Baseball Buys/Sells - Using Expected Statistics to Find Regression Targets
Using expected offensive statistics such as xBA, xwOBA, and xSLG, we can locate some hitters who could be heading for major regression (positive or negative). Statcast is not a perfect science as there are nuances to batted balls that don't account for human abilities and or limitations. xBA is typically lower for speedsters who can […]

Andrew McCutchen Stays Hot, Hits Another Homer Tuesday
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen continued to hit for power in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to the Dodgers. The 36-year-old veteran went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts. McCutchen has had a throwback start to the season, slashing .270/.371/.527 with five HR, 12 RBI, and three stolen bases. He has continued to be […]

Cedric Mullins Hits Late Grand Slam Tuesday
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins made his only hit count in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Red Sox. The 28-year-old went 1-for-5 out of the leadoff spot with a ninth-inning grand slam and two strikeouts. He has had some ups and downs early on but has overall delivered on what fantasy managers have come to […]

Jasson Dominguez Hits Second Homer Of Season Tuesday
New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, and three RBI in Tuesday's win with Double-A Somerset. The Yankees' No. 2 prospect crushed a first-inning shot well over the right-field fence for his second HR of the season. While Dominguez carries a great deal of fantasy intrigue […]

Michael Harris II To Start Rehab Assignment Wednesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (back) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, April 26, the team announced on Tuesday. Harris has been on the 10-day injured list since April 7 with lower-back soreness, but if he looks good in rehab games this week, it's possible he'll be back in […]

Austin Hays Leaves Tuesday's Game With Injury
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays was removed from Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox with a right-hand contusion after being hit by a pitch on a bunt attempt. According to Dan Connolly, he'll undergo more testing after the initial X-rays came back negative. Hays has been phenomenal to begin his sixth season in the […]

Hunter Renfroe Sitting Tuesday
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Mason Miller and the Oakland Athletics. The 31-year-old is slashing .270/.343/.551 with six long balls, 16 runs, and 18 RBI over 23 games. Luis Rengifo is taking his spot in right field, batting sixth. The five-year veteran isn't having […]

Cody Bellinger Placed On Paternity List
Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger has been placed on the paternity list on Tuesday. The left-handed slugger will be away from the team for a few days for the birth of his child. In a corresponding move, the Cubs have recalled Nelson Velasquez from Triple-A to take Bellinger's spot on the active roster. The 24-year-old […]

Joey Gallo Resting On Tuesday
Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. This appears to be a routine rest day for Gallo versus a left-handed starting pitcher. Gallo has been off to a decent start, hitting .243 with six home runs and 12 RBI in 12 games this […]

J.D. Martinez Sitting Out On Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) is being held out of Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The veteran slugger reportedly felt something in his back during Sunday's contest. The Dodgers are going to play it safe and have Martinez sit out for at least one game. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Martinez to miss […]

Sal Frelick To Miss Significant Time
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (thumb) was recently placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list. He suffered a left thumb sprain last week, which ended up requiring him to have surgery. The 23-year-old underwent successful UCL repair surgery on Tuesday. He's expected to miss 6-8 weeks while he recovers. That is a tough blow with […]

Wil Myers Scratched On Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder/first baseman Wil Myers has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup due to neck spasms. Originally scheduled to start against Texas Rangers southpaw Martin Perez, Myers will instead yield first base to Tyler Stephenson while Luke Maile will start behind the plate. It's been a slow start to the season for Myers as […]

Jonatan Clase - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis
PROSPECT: Jonatan Clase, OF, Seattle Mariners ANALYSIS: Clase, at 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds, is an undersized speed threat who signed with the club back in 2018. Scouts instantly fell in love with his baserunning, but once he joined the Mariners' organization, he started to show off promising bat-to-ball skills and equally impressive power. The outfielder's […]

Matt Vierling Hitting Leadoff Tuesday
Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling is hitting leadoff Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Eric Lauer. Vierling didn't start Monday's contest but did make a pinch-hitting appearance that resulted in a strikeout. As has consistently been the case to this point in the season, Vierling will start and leadoff against a left-handed starter as […]

Riley Greene Sitting Tuesday Versus Brewers
Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is starting Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the bench. It's a good time to give the heavily-used Greene a breather against Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer while his sophomore season has been a struggle of late. The 22-year-old is hitting just .224 alongside two homers, two stolen bases, and […]

Josh Lowe Moves Up To Cleanup Spot Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe will move to the cleanup spot for the first time this season against the Houston Astros and right-hander Luis Garcia. Lowe has largely hit seventh or eighth this season but moves up to the four-hole for tonight's contest. The lineup promotion shouldn't come as a surprise considering Lowe is […]

Yordan Alvarez Absent Again Tuesday
Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is once again absent from the club's starting lineup Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. His absence isn't a surprise, considering Astros skipper Dusty Baker told the media earlier on Tuesday that Alvarez's neck "is about the same," and he was sent back to Houston for additional testing. […]
