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. […]

Brandon Marsh Hitting Eighth Against Lefty

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is starting in center field and is batting eighth in the lineup on Tuesday against left-hander Marco Gonzales and the Seattle Mariners. Marsh has earned everyday playing time in Philadelphia this year by being scorching-hot at the plate early on. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter is currently batting .364 (24-for-66) with […]

Rays Send Vidal Brujan To Minors

The Tampa Bay Rays optioned outfielder/second baseman Vidal Brujan to the minor leagues on Tuesday to make room for the return of outfielder Jose Siri (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old Dominican will bide his time on the farm until he gets another call up to Tampa. In his first 11 games of […]

Jose Siri Activated, Taj Bradley Sent To Triple-A

The Tampa Bay Rays activated outfielder Jose Siri (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and also optioned impressive rookie starting pitcher Taj Bradley back to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday. The Rays also optioned outfield Vidal Brujan to the minors. The move to send Bradley to the minors was in big part to transition him to […]

Yordan Alvarez About The Same On Tuesday

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said on Sports Talk 790 on Tuesday that outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is "about the same as yesterday," and the team is awaiting word from their doctors about what is next. Alvarez didn't play on Monday and was sent back to Houston to be checked out after first feeling […]

Diamondbacks Send Jake McCarthy To Triple-A

The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned slumping outfielder Jake McCarthy to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and recalled third baseman Emmanuel Rivera from the minors in a corresponding move. McCarthy hit .283/.342/.427 with eight home runs, 43 RBI, 23 stolen bases and 53 runs scored in 99 games for the D-backs in 2022, but he had gone just […]

Pirates, Bryan Reynolds Agree On Eight-Year Extension

The Pittsburgh Pirates and outfielder Bryan Reynolds agreed to an eight-year, $106.75 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources.

Michael Harris II Could Return This Weekend

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (back) is ready to begin a rehab assignment and could return for the Braves' weekend series with the Mets or sooner, per MLB.com's Mark Bowman.

Michael Brantley Begins Triple-A Rehab Assignment Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder), who had shoulder surgery in August and has been rehabbing since the start of the season, went 1-for-1 with a walk in his first game of a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Sugar Land. The 35-year-old is expected to remain with the Space Cowboys for at least a week, […]

Jonatan Clase Posting Big Numbers In Minors

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Jonatan 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 top-notch bat […]

Mitch Haniger Activated And Batting Third Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Haniger is batting third and will play left field in his return from a Grade 1 oblique strain. The start will mark Haniger's season debut after he strained his left oblique in late March. The Giants signed Haniger to […]

Justyn Henry-Malloy - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Justyn Henry-Malloy, OF, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: A new addition to my top-25 prospects list this week, Justyn-Henry Malloy has gotten off to a hot start in 2023 after his breakout 2022 campaign. After another two hits on Sunday, Malloy is now up to a ridiculous .391/.538/.580 slash line this season with four doubles, three […]

Jake McCarthy Demoted To Ninth In Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy has been moved down to the nine-hole in the club's lineup for Monday's contest with Kansas City Royals right-hander Brad Keller. It's just the fourth time this season McCarthy has started in the nine-spot and the first since April 15. The youngster is off to a disappointing start to his […]

Colton Cowser - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Colton Cowser, OF, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: After a slow start to the season in Triple-A, Colton Cowser has really turned up the heat over the last week and a half. Over the last 10 days, Cowser is slashing a robust .447/.533/.789 with six extra-base hits, three home runs, and a steal with a 7/9 […]

Yordan Alvarez Out With Neck Discomfort

Updating a previous post, Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is out of Monday's starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays due to neck discomfort. The Astros have sent him back to Houston to be examined, and it's unclear if he'll need a stint on the injured list or if he'll be available during […]

Brian Anderson Moves Into Cleanup Spot Monday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman/right fielder Brian Anderson will move up into the cleanup spot for Monday's contest against the Detroit Tigers and lefty Matthew Boyd. It's just the second start of the season out of the four-hole for Anderson who has made 21 starts and appeared in 22 games to this point. His Brewers tenure […]

Kris Bryant Back In Monday's Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (lower body) is back in the starting lineup on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Cal Quantrill after he was removed from Saturday's game early with an injury. Bryant is starting in right field and is hitting third in the lineup. Bryant did not play on Sunday, but he'll […]

George Springer To Sit Out On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This appears to be a routine rest day for Springer on Monday. He probably needs it after starting in 16 straight games. It'll be Cavan Biggio drawing a start in right field and batting […]

Yordan Alvarez Sitting Out On Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be nothing more than a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. Alvarez is well deserving of a day off after what he has done at the plate early in the season. […]

Kevin Pillar Sitting Out Against Marlins

Atlanta Braves outfielder Kevin Pillar is not in the starting lineup for the first game of a series against the Miami Marlins on Monday. Pillar has seen everyday playing time in the last week, even against right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat in this one. Eddie Rosario will get the start in left field […]

Randal Grichuk To Be Re-Evaluated Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk (hernia) will play three more minor-league games with Triple-A Albuquerque from April 21-23 before the Rockies will re-evaluate his status and potential return from the injured list.
