Sam Haggerty Placed On Injured List

Seattle Mariners utility man Sam Haggerty (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with right shoulder inflammation. His spot on the active roster was taken by Ty France. Haggerty is not likely to be rostered in many fantasy leagues, but he has plenty of speed, and has contributed two homers and five steals […]

Kyle Lewis Homers, Reaches Base Three Times

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis had a strong night at the plate Monday, going 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks. The home run was Lewis's fourth of the year, and his first extra-base hit since May 7. Lewis has a somewhat disappointing .245/.353/.382 slash line through 102 at-bats on the year, but […]

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will attempt to finish up the month of May strong when the team opens up a series against the Dodgers at Minute Maid Park beginning Tuesday. Tucker is hitting only .229 for the season but is slashing .292/.378/.569 with nine extra-base hits, 13 runs batted in and 19 runs scored […]

Myles Straw Lacks Fantasy Appeal

Houston Astros center fielder Myles Straw is slashing .258/.329/.288 through 66 at-bats in the month of May heading into Tuesday's action. Straw brings defense and little else to the table at present and is slugging only .286 over his last seven games. The Astros offense is humming right now but Straw is not the player […]

DJ Stewart Hits Mammoth Two-Run Home Run Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder DJ Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Twins. Stewart got things going after a rain delay by demolishing an eighth-inning Jorge Alcala fastball deep over the right-field wall to give the O's a 3-2 lead. While the HR tonight was certainly impressive, Stewart has […]

Tommy Pham Goes Deep Monday Night

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Pham's second long ball of the year came in the ninth inning as the Friars mounted a failed late-game comeback. The round-tripper was just the veteran's fifth extra-base hit this season and after wallowing with a sub-.600 […]

Andrew Vaughn Starting To Show Power

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's victory versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Vaughn's home run off of Kwang Hyun Kim in the bottom of the sixth inning would give the White Sox a 2-1 lead and be enough to help lead his team to victory. […]

Justin Upton Hitting .148 This Month

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton will try and snap out of his offensive struggles beginning Tuesday against the Rangers. The veteran slugger is having a rough of month of May, slashing only .148/.242/.315 with 22 strikeouts in only 54 at-bats. Upton does have eight home runs on the season but is hitting only .214 […]

Adam Duvall Ropes A Three-Run Home Run On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall smashed a three-run home run in Monday's 9-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. It was his only hit of the night, but he made it count. Duvall ended up 1-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. He's now hit nine home runs and driven in 33 runs, just two […]

Michael Conforto, Jeff McNeil Out Until Late June

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) and second baseman Jeff McNeil (hamstring) are likely to be out of action until late June, according to general manager Zack Scott.

Harrison Bader Suffers Possible Rib Injury

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rib) was removed from Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Bader almost made a fantastic catch early in the game, but suffered a possible rib injury in the process. Justin Williams came into the game for Bader, but it's uncertain what is exactly wrong with Bader. The team […]

Johneshwy Fargas Removed After Crashing Into Wall

New York Mets outfielder Johneshwy Fargas (shoulder) has been removed from Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Fargas suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder after slamming into the wall in the fourth inning. It was a solid effort by Fargas, but this incident could result in an injured list stint for the […]

Tyler O'Neill Should Return This Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point this week. The young outfielder took some swings on Monday and also was able to play catch. It sounds like he could be back in time for the weekend series, but we'll have how he […]

Christian Yelich Getting Another Day Off On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is getting the day off on Monday as the team faces Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. Tyrone Taylor is manning left field and batting third in the game. This was a planned day off for Yelich, who will now sit out for the second time in three days. […]

Austin Hays Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (hamstring) is currently dealing with a hamstring issue, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Due to the injury, he is sitting out Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Orioles beat writer Joe Trezza believes that the injury is nothing serious and that Hays is being held out […]

Max Kepler Out On Monday With Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against John Means and the Baltimore Orioles. He is currently dealing with a hamstring injury. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters that Kepler was "barely able to play" in Sunday's game due to the injury. Kyle Garlick is taking over in […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Hits Third Homer

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit his third long ball of the season during the team's extra-inning loss to the Rays on Monday. He took Ryan Yarbrough deep to left field for a solo shot in the second inning and also added a pair of singles, finishing the day going 3-for-5. Gurriel got […]

Teoscar Hernandez Stays Hot With Homer

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez hit his seventh homer of the year, and second in as many days, during the team's extra-inning loss to the Rays on Monday. His solo shot came off starter Ryan Yarbrough as he and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went back-to-back in the fourth inning. Hernandez finished the game 2-for-5 with […]

Austin Hays Not In The Starting Lineup Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Matt Shoemaker and the Minnesota Twins. DJ Stewart is starting in left field and batting sixth in the game. This will be Hays' second time on the bench in the last three games. It's surprising to see given the fact […]

Garrett Cooper Sitting Out On Monday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Zach Eflin and the Philadelphia Phillies. Adam Duvall is getting the start in right field for the game. Cooper has been red hot lately. He is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak that has included three home runs, three […]

Byron Buxton Progressing Well

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) has been progressing well in his recovery from a Grade 2 hip strain. Buxton wasn't able to do anything more than light running about a week ago, but he's now at a point where he'll attempt to push things on the bases later this week. The speedy outfielder could […]

Trent Grisham Lands On Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (heel) is expected to land on the injured list before Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Friars center fielder missed the final two contests over the weekend with a heel bruise and it's lingered long enough to merit an IL stint. Utilityman Jurickson Profar will start in center […]

Bryce Harper Out Of Lineup Again On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (shoulder) is not in the lineup Monday against Trevor Rogers and the Marlins. Brad Miller will get another start in right field after he hit a three-run homer in Sunday's contest. The Phillies have insisted Harper is not injured, but he has now sat out two straight games after missing […]

J.D. Davis To Play A Few More Rehab Games At Triple-A

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder J.D. Davis (hand), currently on the 10-day injured list, is expected to play a few more games with Triple-A Syracuse before returning to the team. The Mets reportedly want Davis to play a string of games at first base at Triple-A so he can, presumably, play first when he returns […]

Starling Marte To Begin A Rehab Assignment

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte (rib) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. Marte will see his first game action since April 28, when he was forced to leave in the middle of an at bat after suffering a fractured rib.

Yelich ended a four-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit game of the season, but the most important thing is the fact that he went deep for […]
