Eloy Jimenez Hitting .250 Over Five Games At Triple-A

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) is on track to beat his original timeline for a return by a considerable margin. It was first estimated that he wouldn't be back until September, but his recent progression suggests that a late July return could be in the cards. Jimenez began a rehab assignment at High-A […]

Trent Grisham Provides Clutch Knock But Friars Still Lose

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham supplied a game-tying RBI single in the ninth inning against the Washington Nationals, his only hit in four at-bats. Grisham served an offering from closer Brad Hand into left field to knot the game at 7-7 before the Friars blew it a half inning later. He also stole his […]

Starling Marte Very Likely To Be Traded

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte is extremely likely to be traded before the July 31 trade deadline. Marte was in talks with the Marlins about signing an extension, but those talks are reportedly over and the two sides were never close. Given his expiring contract and the Marlins floundering in last place with little to […]

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Indians on Sunday. It was his 11th round-tripper this season.

Michael Conforto Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto came through in a big way in the ninth inning of Sunday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates, blasting a go-ahead two-run home run off Pirates closer Richard Rodriguez. He also walked in five plate appearances. This follows up a two-double performance Saturday. Conforto has struggled mightily this season, but […]

Dominic Smith Adds Three Hits Against Pittsburgh

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith went 3-for-5 with a double against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday. He scored once and drove in a run.

Brandon Nimmo Walks Three More Times Sunday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo picked up three more walks Sunday. He also went 0-for-2 and scored a run. In just three games since the all-star break, Nimmo has already walked eight times.

Travis Blankenhorn Hits First Major-League Homer

New York Mets utility man Travis Blankenhorn played a key role in the comeback win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday, hitting a pinch-hit three-run home run off of Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker in the fourth inning. It was his first major-league home run. Blankenhorn has enjoyed some success in his limited action this year, going […]

Jonathan Davis Heading To Buffalo

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jonathan Davis is heading back down to Triple-A Buffalo. Davis was recalled a few weeks ago, so his most recent tenure with the big club was short-lived. The 29-year-old hasn't done much this season, batting only .143 throughout 48 games in the majors, so it's unlikely any fantasy managers will miss […]

Mitch Haniger Scores Three Times Against Sngels

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went just 1-for-3 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch against the Los Angeles Angels Sunday, but he did manage to come around to score all three times on base. He's now scored 65 runs on the year to go with his 22 home runs and 58 RBI. Batting second in […]

Trey Amburgey Day-To-Day

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. Amburgey exited Sunday's matchup against the Red Sox after injuring his right hamstring. Although it looked bad when it happened, it now appears that he was dealing with a cramp, which is good news for a club that is sorely lacking depth in the outfield. […]

Jake Fraley Diagnosed With COVID-19

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Fraley hasn't been in the lineup because of Flu-like issues. Although it was originally reported his symptoms weren't linked to the Coronavirus, it appears now that he will miss some time moving ahead. It isn't known whether other players for the M's will have […]

Josh Harrison Posts Three-Hit Game Sunday

Washington Nationals utility man Josh Harrison had three hits Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run, and an RBI. It's his second game in the row with three hits. Harrison is in position to bat in the middle of the lineup every day for the Nats, playing all over the diamond. He has a […]

Juan Soto Homers Again Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was outstanding yet again Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored against the San Diego Padres. The home run derby may indeed have helped Soto's swing as he suggested beforehand, as he's now 7-for-13 with two walks and three home […]

Trey Amburgey Suffers Leg Injury On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (leg) exited Sunday's outing against the visiting Red Sox. The 26-year-old appeared to injure his hamstring while attempting to reach first base during a double play. This is unfortunate news, primarily since Amburgey just had his contract purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was expected to fill the void caused […]

Joc Pederson Knocks In Two Runs

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson has brought a spark with him to his new organization. On Sunday, Pederson went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and one walk in the 7-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He has been red-hot in a Braves uniform. Pederson has four hits over his first three games with […]

Miami Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall hit his 20th home run of the season in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Danny Santana Expected To Be Activated On Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Danny Santana (quad) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list on Monday. The 30-year-old utility player has not done much with the bat over the course of the 2021 campaign. He's hitting .167/.231/.292 with three homers, 10 RBI and a 25/7 K/BB ratio. He'll be a nice depth […]

Joey Gallo Hits Triple In Game One On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo is normally known for his unbelievable power at the plate. However, he was able to use his speed to his advantage during the first game of the doubleheader on Sunday. Gallo went 1-for-3 with a triple during the 5-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. That triple was Gallo's first […]

Dillon Thomas Recalled From Tacoma

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas was called back up to the big club on Sunday. The 28-year-old has spent time between the M's and Triple-A Tacoma this season, and he will now take the place of Jake Fraley (illness), who recently landed on the 10-day injured list. Thomas isn't worth much from a fantasy perspective, […]

Ryan LaMarre Heading To The Majors

New York Yankees outfielder Ryan LaMarre is projected to start on Sunday during the series finale against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran had his contract selected from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he adds depth to a club with some holes in the outfield. The 32-year-old hasn't done anything noteworthy during his brief stint with the big […]

Greg Allen Expected To Enter Starting Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Greg Allen is expected to start on Sunday against the Red Sox. With Tim Locastro (knee) and Aaron Judge (COVID-19) both on the shelf, the 28-year-old may spend some additional time with the big club moving ahead. Although he has played relatively well in Triple-A, especially on the base paths, he […]

Brett Gardner Not In Sunday’s Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner isn't starting on Sunday night against the Boston Red Sox.

He'll be replaced by Greg Allen in center field for Sunday's contest against the Red Sox. Allen, […]

Ian Happ Isn’t Starting On Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ isn't in the team's lineup on Sunday. The Cubs will face the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-handed starter Merrill Kelly, but will do so with Happ on the bench. The outfielder has struggled at the plate this season, batting just .181 with a .295 on-base percentage in 277 plate appearances. He's […]

Brandon Marsh Gets Major League Call-Up

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brandon Marsh was called up from Triple-A and will play center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. At the start of the year, Marsh was ranked by RotoBaller as one of the top rookies for the 2021 redraft season, and if he […]

Mookie Betts Expected Back Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) won't need testing on his sore right hip and could be back in the lineup as soon as Monday, according to The Athletic. Manager Dave Roberts said he sees "no reason why" Betts won't be able to be in the lineup for the series opener against San Francisco. […]

Jake Fraley Placed On Injured List With No Designation

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley was placed on the injured list Sunday without a designation.

That does not appear to remain the case at this time. […]
