Jake Marisnick Homers In Back-To-Back Games

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jake Marisnick has been back from thumb surgery for two games, and he's gone deep in each. Marisnick went 1-for-3 Tuesday with a solo shot off of Miami Marlins starting pitcher Daniel Castano. While Marisnick would not be expected to garner much playing time for most teams, he appears to be in […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Goes 4-for-4

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a perfect evening at the plate Tuesday, going 4-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored in a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Gurriel Jr. has been on fire lately, slashing .391/.426/.574 over his last 30 games. He has only five homers and three […]

X-Rays Negative On Garrett Cooper

X-rays came back negative on Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (knee) on Tuesday after he was forced to leave Tuesday's game early against the Pittsburgh Pirates. His injury is being called a contusion on the inside of his left knee, and he's day-to-day. Before departing, Cooper was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts to drop his […]

Jesus Sanchez Still Disappointing

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez is in the midst of a horrid slump at the plate, and that didn't change Tuesday. He took an 0-for-3 in the 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sanchez is one for his last 23 and is hitting .205 on the year. He's shown decent power, smacking 11 HRs so […]

Aaron Hicks Removed From Tuesday's Game

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (shin) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds after fouling a ball off his right shin. He could not put pressure on his leg and hobbled off the field. The 32-year-old went 0-for-1 before exiting. He was replaced in the game by Marwin Gonzalez. The severity of […]

Tyler O'Neill Could Return On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist, hamstring) said "everything checked out" with his bruised right wrist. If medically cleared, he could be available as early as Wednesday. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since June 20 but is on track to return from the 10-day injured list soon. He had been disappointing this season before […]

Garrett Cooper Leaves Early With Knee Issue

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (knee) fouled a pitch off his knee and was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before exiting. The 31-year-old is off to a terrific start this season, slashing .296/.363/.455 with seven homers, 40 RBI, and 28 runs scored over 77 games […]

Mariners-Nationals Postponed Tuesday

The game between the Seattle Mariners and Washington Nationals on Tuesday has been postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday. Seattle was scheduled to throw right-hander Chris Flexen, while right-hander Josiah Gray was on the bump for Washington before Tuesday's game was washed out. […]

Esteury Ruiz To Make His MLB Debut Tuesday

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Esteury Ruiz will be making his MLB debut in Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Padres manager Bob Melvin stated that Ruiz will be in the team's lineup for Tuesday's game, but we have yet to see the lineup card released as of this writing. The 23-year-old has played 77 […]

Brendan Donovan To Miss His Fourth Straight Game Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (illness) is out of the lineup once again for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 25-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID illness and this will be his fourth straight missed game. He went through an on-field workout on Monday, so it seems like he could be available […]

Christian Yelich Scratched With Back Tightness

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins with mid-back tightness. This won't be the first time that Yelich has dealt with back issues, so fantasy managers should be somewhat concerned that this could land him on the injured list to close out the first […]

J.D. Martinez Named To AL All-Star Squad

Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter J.D. Martinez was named to the American League All-Star team on Tuesday as a replacement for Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez. It will be Martinez's second straight All-Star selection and fifth overall. He will take the day off on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, but overall he's hitting a […]

Garrett Cooper, Carlos Rodon Named To All-Star Team

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper and San Francisco Giants left-hander Carlos Rodon have been named to the National League All-Star team, replacing Bryce Harper and Josh Hader on the roster, respectively. While Cooper isn't a big time power threat, he's hitting an exceptional .299/.367/.460 with an .826 OPS, seven home runs, 40 RBI and […]

Starling Marte Still Out Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (groin) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. Marte injured his groin on Saturday and hasn't played since, but fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day. When healthy, the 33-year-old is a must-start in fantasy because of his modest power and speed profile. […]

J.D. Martinez Retreats To The Bench On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team takes on the Tampa Bay Rays. Rafael Devers (back) is making his return to the lineup for the game and he'll be serving as the team's designated hitter. Martinez has been swinging the bat well lately. He hit his […]

Jesse Winker Back From Suspension Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker has finished his six-game suspension and is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday, starting in left field and batting fifth against Washington Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray. Winker will return to a .226/.341/.337 slash line with six home runs, 33 RBI and 26 runs scored in 331 plate appearances over […]

Akil Baddoo Recalled And Starting On Tuesday

The Detroit Tigers have recalled outfielder Akil Baddoo from Triple-A. He will be starting in left field and batting ninth in the team's game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. The 23-year-old began the year in the majors, but struggled over his 17 appearances with the Tigers, slashing .140/.218/.220 with just two extra-base hits. […]

Albert Almora Jr. Lands On Injured List Tuesday

The Cincinnati Reds placed outfielder Albert Almora Jr. on the injured list without a designation on Tuesday. The lack of a designation suggests that the move is COVID-related. The team recalled fellow outfielder Stuart Fairchild in a corresponding move. Almora has been in and out of the starting lineup lately, primarily splitting time with Nick […]

Julio Rodriguez Serving One-Game Suspension Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez will serve his one-game suspension on Tuesday during the team's matchup against the Washington Nationals. Rodriguez was issued a suspension from the league after the team's brawl with the Los Angeles Angels last month. Initially, he was given a two-game suspension, but he had it reduced to just one game. […]

Hunter Renfroe Reinstated From Injured List On Tuesday

The Milwaukee Brewers have activated outfielder Hunter Renfroe (calf) from the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, right-handed pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez was designated for assignment. Renfroe missed a little over two weeks due to a strained left calf. The 30-year-old has performed decently well in his first season with the Brewers thus far. […]

Aaron Judge Sitting Vs. Reds On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team takes on right-hander Graham Ashcraft and the Cincinnati Reds. Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks and Joey Gallo will be covering the outfield for the game. Judge struggled a bit during the team's four-game series against the Boston Red Sox this […]

White Sox Promote Oscar Colas to Double-A

The Chicago White Sox are reportedly promoting outfield prospect Oscar Colas to the team's Double-A affiliate. The 23-year-old appeared in 59 games for Chicago's Advanced-A club, hitting .312 with a .369 on-base percentage, seven home runs, 23 total extra-base hits, and a stolen base in 268 plate appearances. Speculatively speaking, he seems unlikely to make […]

Luis Robert Resting For Game 1

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert will get a normal day of rest and will likely return to the starting lineup for the nightcap against Cleveland. The 24-year-old is a must-start fantasy asset when he's on […]

Tyrone Taylor Nearing A Return

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (concussion) suffered a concussion on June 30 when he was hit in the face by the baseball while trying to make a catch in the outfield. Taylor said he's been feeling better, and he was cleared for on-field work on July 8. He was eligible to come off the seven-day […]

Hunter Renfroe Expected Back This Week

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Hunter Renfroe (calf) ran the arc of the infield dirt last Friday and reached 19 mph without suffering any setbacks. He's targeting a return to the Brewers lineup for this week's series against the Minnesota Twins, but he said team medical officials want to wait until the following series against the San […]

No Timetable For Michael Brantley, Jason Castro

The Houston Astros still don't have a timetable for outfielder Michael Brantley's (shoulder) or catcher Jason Castro's (knee) return with nine games remaining before the All-Star break. Brantley was eligible to come off the injured list last Friday, while Castro went on the IL on July 1 after tweaking his left knee on June 29. […]

Hot Fantasy Prospects To Watch For Week 14

Welcome back, RotoBallers. We're heading into Week 15 of the fantasy baseball season, and the minor league season rages on. It would be foolish to proceed without highlighting the top performances from Week 14. It's imperative to monitor the top fantasy baseball prospects who have turned heads thus far. The players listed here are not […]

Ramon Laureano: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

Fantasy managers knew that Ramon Laureano would miss the first 27 games of the 2022 season due to his 2021 PED suspension, but he was still seen as a solid late-round pick for the category juice he provides. In 2019, he slashed .288/.340/.521 with 24 homers and 13 steals over just 481 PAs. That regressed […]
