Victor Robles Day-To-Day

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (knee) is considered day-to-day. Robles was nailed by a pitch during Sunday's outing against Miami, which resulted in his premature exit. Fortunately, X-rays were negative, and he was officially diagnosed with a bruised right knee. The 24-year-old was replaced in the lineup against the Marlins by Gerardo Parra, who could […]

Josh Naylor Diagnosed With Broken Leg

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor (leg) was officially diagnosed with a broken leg.

Chris Owings Goes Hitless On Sunday

Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Chris Owings went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout in a 5-0 shutout loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. The Rockies couldn't get much of anything going on Sunday, collecting just four hits--all singles--as a team. Owings was able to reach base in one at-bat with a walk but didn't […]

Joey Gallo Blasts Homer In Win

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo connected on his 16th home run of the season versus the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a two-run blast, one walk, and struck out once in the victory over KC. That is basically a perfect example of what Gallo brings to fantasy managers. He'll hit a […]

Adolis Garcia Helps With Two Hits On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia was able to collect two hits during Sunday's victory over the Kansas City Royals. He finished the game 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, and one RBI in the victory.

Jesse Winker Will Return Monday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (hip) is expected to return to the starting lineup for Monday's game. Manager David Bell told reporters on Sunday that Winker will return for their next contest. That is great news, Winker has been fantastic with the bat and fantasy managers cannot afford to lose him right now. He suffered […]

Whit Merrifield Tallies Three Singles In Sunday's Loss

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield was one of the only offensive bright spots for the team in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Texas Rangers. Merrifield went 3-for-4 with three singles in the game. He drove in the team's only run in the fifth inning. Only three other Royals recorded hits in the game […]

Akil Baddoo Steals A Base And Scores Game-Winning Run

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning of Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. The team executed a suicide squeeze with Robbie Grossman laying down a bunt and Baddoo scoring from third. The Tigers went on to win the low-scoring game 2-1. Baddoo was one of only four Tigers […]

Aaron Judge Hits 17th Homer Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Boston Red Sox. Judge walloped an Eduardo Rodriguez sinker into the left-field seats, the blast traveling 430 feet at an exit velocity of 106 MPH. The slugger is rolling over his last six games, batting .333 with two […]

Dodgers Sit Will Smith, AJ Pollock Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith and outfielder AJ Pollock are both out of the starting lineup Sunday against right-hander Adbert Alzolay and the Chicago Cubs. The duo will be replaced by catcher Austin Barnes, batting eighth, and outfielder Zach McKinstry, batting seventh. Smith has been slumping as of late, going just 3-for-19 in his […]

Victor Robles Leaves Game Early Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (knee) left the game early on Sunday after he was hit in the back of the knee by a pitch from Miami Marlins pitcher Ross Detwiler. Outfielder Gerardo Parra replaced Robles in the game. Before leaving, the 24-year-old had gone hitless in three plate appearances with a walk, strikeout and […]

The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Willie Calhoun (forearm) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a fracture of the ulna bone in his left forearm. Outfielder Jason Martin was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Calhoun fractured his forearm after being hit by a pitch on Saturday and may not be […]

Max Kepler Not In Starting Lineup For Second Straight Game

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is not in the starting lineup for the second game in a row on Sunday. There's no word of any injury right now, so it appears it's just another day off for Kepler, who has struggled since coming off the injured list. Over his last seven games, Kepler is slashing […]

Mets Hope To Activate Brandon Nimmo On Tuesday

New York Mets manager Luis Rojas said the team is hoping to activate outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger) from the injured list on Tuesday. Nimmo has been out of action since early May with a detached ligament in his left hand. The 28-year-old should be added immediately if he's lingering on your league's waiver wire, especially […]

Trent Grisham Hitting Lower In The Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham has previously been a fixture at the top of the team's lineup. Prior to Monday, the outfielder had hit first, second or third in all but one game he started. However, in the past week, San Diego manager Jayce Tingler has opted to utilize Tommy Pham as the team's […]

Raimel Tapia Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is getting the day off on Sunday in the series finale vs. the Milwaukee Brewers. This looks to just be a routine day of rest for the Rockies' leadoff man. The 27-year-old is slashing .299/.346/.413 with 18 doubles, five home runs, 36 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and 45 runs scored […]

The 29-year-old has been among the best in baseball in exit velocity in 2021 and is slashing .256/.332/.460 with 14 home runs […]

Jason Heyward Stays Hot With Three Hits

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward continued his impressive series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers in Saturday's loss. Heyward went 3-for-4 on the evening with a double. Heyward also had a home run call that was reversed. Heyward has really struggled this season, but he is having a great series and is now 7-for-9 entering Sunday's […]

Cody Bellinger Comes Up Big In Victory

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger played the role of hero in Saturday's victory versus the Chicago Cubs. Bellinger had a scheduled day off, but it didn't last long with him entering the ballgame as part of a double switch in the top of the seventh inning. Bellinger would fly out in his first at-bat, […]
