Day Off For Ketel Marte Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Marte has been pretty strong so far in the month of June, going 10-for-32 (.313) with two home runs, four RBI and five […]

Robbie Grossman Not Playing Against Blue Jays

Detroit Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Grossman, who recently returned from the injured list, left the game early on Friday after fouling a ball off his knee. Luckily, X-rays came back negative, but he'll miss at least one game as a result. […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Suffers Setback

San Francisco Giants outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring, knee) felt tightness in his left hamstring while doing baserunning drills, prompting the Giants to back off on his possible return. The team's medical staff prefers to consider Wade's injury "separate" from his knee. Wade was one of the Giants leading hitters last year with 18 home […]

Franmil Reyes To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians skipper Terry Francona said that outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes (hamstring) will begin his minor league rehab assignment as the DH for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. Reyes has been sidelined since May 25 with right hamstring tightness, but he's getting closer to a return to Cleveland's lineup after taking batting practice on Wednesday. It's […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/11/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

There are a couple of leftover aces from last night, but there are a whole lot of mediocre or worse options out there as well. Chopping the slates up doesn't help any. This looks like a day to pay up at pitcher unless you don't mind chugging Pepto while watching baseball. Hey, I'm not judging! […]

George Springer Collects Three Hits

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer put together a fantastic performance against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The 32-year-old slugger went 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the 10-1 victory. Springer drew a walk to start the day and it only got better from there. He's now hitting .282/.354/.538 to go along […]

Alex Verdugo Dealing With Knee Issue

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (knee) is not in the starting lineup for his team's Friday night game against the Seattle Mariners. Verdugo banged up his knee in Thursday's game, so he will take a seat against Seattle southpaw Marco Gonzales. The Red Sox will go with Franchy Cordero in left field, Rob Refsnyder […]

Taylor Ward Expects To Be Activated Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (hamstring) told reporters that he expects to be activated off the injured list on Tuesday. Ward landed on the injured list after injuring his hamstring while attempting a diving catch in the outfield last week. If he is able to return on Tuesday, it will mark a minimum 10-day […]

Mike Trout Not In Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hip) is not in the starting lineup for his team's Friday night contest against the New York Mets. Trout injured his hip while running the bases back on Tuesday and hasn't played since. The star outfielder initially sounded optimistic that he would be able to return to the action […]

Edward Olivares Begins Rehab Assignment Friday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares (quadriceps), who has been on the injured list since May 9 with a right quadriceps strain, will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Friday. Olivares will likely need a pretty lengthy rehab assignment considering how much time he's missed, so he probably won't return to […]

White Sox Option Gavin Sheets

The Chicago White Sox optioned infielder/outfielder Gavin Sheets to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and recalled right-hander Jimmy Lambert from Charlotte in a corresponding move. Sheets looked good in 54 games in his rookie season last year, but he's really struggled in his sophomore campaign, hitting .204/.268/.328 with four home runs, 10 RBI, nine runs scored, […]

Robbie Grossman Activated From Injured List

The Detroit Tigers activated outfielder Robbie Grossman (neck) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and placed outfielder Daz Cameron (undisclosed) on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Cardinals Activate Dylan Carlson Friday

The St. Louis Cardinals activated outfielder Dylan Carlson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder Lars Nootbaar to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Heston Kjerstad (hamstring, heart) has been activated from the minor league injured list and will play in his first professional game on Friday for Low-A Delmarva. The second overall pick in 2020 didn't play at all last year due to a heart condition called myocarditis, but Baseball America still has the […]

Taylor Ward, Anthony Rendon Improving

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (hamstring, neck) is healing nicely, while third baseman Anthony Rendon (wrist) has been hitting in the batting cages and taking ground balls. Ward's neck/shoulder still isn't 100%, but he feels no pain and can play through it. The 28-year-old is targeting a return from the injured list when he's […]

Mike Trout Plans To Return On Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hip) plans to get back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. He exited early during Tuesday's game and hasn't played since then. He took swings in the batting cage on Thursday, so it sounds like Trout is making progress. The superstar outfielder plans […]

Whit Merrifield Goes 2-For-5 In Thursday's Win

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield went 2-for-5 with a pair of runs in the team's 7-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. It was his second consecutive multi-hit game and his fourth multi-hit effort of the month. The 33-year-old got off to an extremely slow start to the year, but he has […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Steals His 11th Bag On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. helped the team defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 on Thursday. He went 0-for-2, but he reached base twice in the game as he drew a walk and he was hit by a pitch. He stole a base and scored a run in the game. The 24-year-old superstar is off […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts had a rough time at the plate in the team's 11-9 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. He went 0-for-6 with a pair of strikeouts. Betts must be happy that the team's three-game series against the White Sox is over. He went just 1-for-14 with three strikeouts […]

Juan Soto Drives In Two On Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 1-for-5 with a pair of RBI in the team's 7-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on Thursday.
