Ronald Acuna Jr. Expected To Return By Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (pectoral) is expected to be healthy enough to return to action by Tuesday after his early exit on Sunday, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic.

Cedric Mullins Doesn't Play Sunday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (rest) was not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This was a routine rest day for Mullins, so fantasy managers don't have to worry about any injuries. Mullins has been on fire with the bat and should be rostered in every fantasy format. Austin […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Exits Due To Injury

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (pectoral) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The team reportedly removed Acuna as a precaution because he was dealing with right pectoral muscle tightness. The team should be able to give more details after the game. Hopefully it's just the type of issue […]

Yonathan Daza Doubles And Scores On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza went 2-for-4 with a double a run scored in a lopsided 10-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Daza was the only batter for Colorado to record multiple hits as Wade Miley did an excellent job shutting them down. The 27-year-old singled in the second inning and scored a […]

Mitch Haniger Exits Early Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was helped off the field in the top of the first inning after fouling a Shane Bieber pitch off his left knee. Haniger was in obvious pain and needed assistance getting off the field. More information will likely follow after the game.

Christian Yelich Not In Lineup For Sunday's Contest

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is not in the starting lineup for Sunday afternoon's matchup with the Pirates. This appears to just be a day off for Yelich, who has appeared in 12 straight games for the Brewers. Since returning from the injured list, Yelich is slashing .194/.379/.403 with three homers, two steals, 13 RBI […]

Rob Refsnyder Returns To Lineup Sunday

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. Refsnyder hasn't played since June 8 due to a hamstring injury, though he'll relieve Alex Kirilloff (ankle) in right field on Sunday and bat cleanup. The 30-year-old has been excellent for the Twins, though his potential playing […]

Josh Rojas Homers Twice On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Josh Rojas went 2-for-5 with two home runs, two RBI and two runs scored in an 8-7 loss to the Angels on Saturday. While Rojas has struggled at the plate somewhat over his past 15 games, he now has two multi-homer performances just in his last seven games and he is […]

Alex Kirilloff Sitting Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff (ankle) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. Kirilloff appeared in each of the last two games for the Twins since injuring his ankle, going 1-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout. The 23-year-old will cede the right-field duties to Rob Refsnyder.

Austin Meadows Out Of The Lineup On Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows is out of the lineup on Sunday afternoon against the Orioles. It appears to just be a day off for Meadows, who has played in 18 straight games for Tampa Bay. He's been solid at the plate this year, slashing .233/.336/.498 with 14 homers, two steals, 48 RBI and […]

Max Kepler To Start Rehab Assignment On Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) will start his rehab assignment on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been out since May 29 because of a strained left hamstring, so it appears as if he is inching closer to making it back to the big club. Kepler is batting .212, with 28 hits, 22 RBI, 20 runs, […]

Trent Grisham Sitting Out Sunday's Contest With Mets

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. Grisham had just made his return from the injured list on Saturday, where he went 0-for-3, and it appears the Padres want to ease him back into action after a three week absence. With Grisham out, Jorge […]

Aaron Judge Not In The Lineup On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (back) isn't in the lineup on Sunday against Philly. The slugger has been dealing with spasms since Saturday night, although it's unknown if the ailment will require a trip to the 10-day injured list. More on his status moving forward should be revealed ahead of the Bomber's upcoming series […]

Nick Senzel Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. The 25-year-old had surgery on his left knee back in May to address inflammation and isn't expected to return until July anyway, so the move appears to be more of a formality. Senzel is batting .252, with 28 hits, 18 […]

Aristides Aquino Activated From 60-Day IL

The Cincinnati Reds activated outfielder Aristides Aquino (hand) from the 60-day injured list ahead of their Sunday game against the Colorado Rockies. Aquino has appeared in just 10 games in 2021 before breaking the hamate bone in his hand and landing on the injured list. His role with the club is unclear but Aquino is […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Hunter Renfroe is largely known as a power-only, defense-first outfielder.  That isn't terribly inaccurate, as Renfroe has a career .232/.291/.480 slash line with 104 home runs.  In his first year in Boston, Renfroe's slash line is largely in line with his career numbers […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Miguel Andujar burst onto the scene in 2018 with a terrific season as a 23-year-old, slashing .297/.328/.537 with 27 home runs, 83 runs, and 92 RBI.
