Kris Bryant Pulled Early On Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) was pulled out early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The right-handed slugger has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. That being said, it sounds like it was renewed soreness in his foot that led him to being taken out of this contest. Fantasy […]

Dylan Moore Heads To The Injured List

Seattle Mariners infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore (back) is heading to the 10-day injured list. The 29-year-old has been dealing with back issues for over a week and apparently it "locked up" on him when he was running from first to third in Saturday's contest, according to beat writer Ryan Divish. Moore is slashing just .197/.350/.367 with […]

Julio Rodriguez Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hand/wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Rodriguez was hit on the hand by a pitch on Saturday against the Astros, which forced him to exit the contest. He later received X-rays on his hand, which were negative but he's dealing with swelling and won't be able to […]

Jarred Kelenic Returning To Seattle

The Seattle Mariners are calling up outfield prospect Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. It's unknown if he'll be in the starting lineup on Sunday against Houston Astros right-hander Jake Odorizzi, but there's a good chance he will be with rookie Julio Rodriguez (hand) leaving Saturday's game early after being hit by a pitch. […]

Brewers Have Discussed Joey Gallo

The New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers have discussed outfielder Joey Gallo, who may fit Milwaukee much better than New York City. The Brewers were in on outfielder Andrew Benintendi before the Royals dealt him to the Yankees, and they could use another outfielder. USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale mentioned the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay […]

Tyler O'Neill Not Starting Against Nationals

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. O'Neill left Saturday's game early with leg cramps, which is why he's out of the lineup for the series finale. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Injuries have limited the 27-year-old to just 55 […]

Starling Marte Resting Sunday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. Marte will receive a break after starting the team's last nine games. Since the All-Star break, he's hitting .367 (11-for-30) with two home runs, five RBI and five runs scored in seven games to raise his season […]

X-Rays Negative On Julio Rodriguez

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said that X-rays on rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez's hand were "negative and he's going through ongoing assessments in Houston as we speak." Rodriguez was hit by a pitch on the hand on Saturday against the Houston Astros, but fortunately he didn't break anything in his hand. There's still a […]

Victor Robles Dealing With Hamstring Cramps

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (hamstring) suffered a left hamstring cramp after running down the third out of the eighth inning on Saturday, and it clearly affected his at-bat in the bottom of the inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. As a result, he's not in the starting lineup on Sunday. Robles is hitting just […]

Giancarlo Stanton To Resume Baseball Activities This Week

New York Yankees skipper Aaron Boone said that outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) should be cleared to start baseball activities "early this week." Stanton was placed on the injured list on July 26, but it doesn't look like he'll be ready to return to the team when he's eligible on Wednesday, Aug. 3. The 32-year-old slugger […]

Bryan Reynolds Back From Paternity List

The Pittsburgh Pirates activated outfielder Bryan Reynolds from the paternity list on Sunday and optioned infielder/outfielder Diego Castillo to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Reynolds has been away from the team since going on the paternity list on Thursday, but he should return to the team's starting lineup on Sunday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander […]

Jake McCarthy To See Most Of Playing Time In Left Field

With outfielder David Peralta being dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy will get the "lion's share" of the available playing time in left field, according to general manager Mike Hazen. McCarthy has been very productive since returning from Triple-A Reno earlier in the month, going 11-for-35 (.314) with […]

Josh Lowe Optioned To Triple-A

The Tampa Bay Rays optioned rookie outfielder Josh Lowe to Triple-A Durham on Sunday to make room for recently acquired outfielder David Peralta on the active MLB roster. In 52 games for the Rays since his promotion, Lowe hit only .221/.284/.343 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 24 runs scored, three stolen bases and 66 […]

George Springer Out Of The Lineup Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Springer missed Friday's game with a minor elbow injury, but he returned on Saturday and went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a walk. He'll get a normal day of rest on Sunday in the series finale. […]

Julio Rodriguez Undergoing X-Rays On Wrist

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez left Saturday's contest versus the Astros early after he was hit on the wrist by a pitch. The rookie stayed in the game to play defense, but was pulled before his next at-bat and will undergo X-rays on his wrist to find out the severity of the injury. Rodriguez stated […]

Tyler O'Neill Leaves With Leg Cramps

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (leg) left Saturday's contest early with leg cramps after going 2-for-2 in the game. Corey Dickerson came on to relieve him for his at-bat in the fifth inning, and he should be considered day-to-day for now. It's been a frustrating year for O'Neill who has played just 54 games […]

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez, catcher Christian Vazquez, and pitcher Nathan Eovaldi could be moved by the trade deadline.

Max Kepler, Miguel Sano Head To IL

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (toe) and first baseman Miguel Sano (knee) were placed on the 10-day IL Saturday. Kepler had missed the last three games with a toe injury that is now known to be a fractured right pinkie toe. After a hot start at the dish, he has cooled down with just four […]

Tampa Bay Rays Acquire David Peralta

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta has been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Jeff Passan. Coming back to the Diamondbacks in the deal is 19-year-old catcher Christian Cerda. Peralta is more of a platoon bat at this point, as he has a pretty good .823 OPS against righties but just a .462 OPS […]

Josh Naylor Scratched With Ankle Soreness

Cleveland Guardians outfielder/first baseman Josh Naylor (ankle) was scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays due to right ankle soreness. Naylor also missed the game on Friday, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. The 25-year-old has been a solid contributor this year, slashing .282/.332/.514 with an .846 […]
