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.

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. Marte has been swinging and taking live batting practice […]

Christian Yelich Starting To Find It At The Plate

Milwaukee Brewers star outfielder Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored, and a walk in Sunday's win over the Reds. 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 […]

No Clarity On Jeff McNeil's Injury Or Return Timeline

The New York Mets have yet to provide a timeline for infielder Jeff McNeil's (hamstring) return from the 10-day injured list. Similar to outfielder Michael Conforto, McNeil suffered the injury on May 16 in a game against the Rays. To date, the Mets have also failed to provide any information on the grade or severity […]

No Timeline On Michael Conforto's Return

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring), currently on the 10-day injured list, is considered "week-to-week" according to manager Luis Rojas. Conforto suffered the injury on May 16 in a game against the Rays. To date, the Mets have yet to provide any clarity on the grade or severity of the hamstring strain. As a […]

Taylor Trammell Stays Hot, Goes 4-for-4 At Triple-A

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Taylor Trammell had a rough first taste of MLB action in 2021 but he's rebounded in a big way since being demoted to Triple-A. The 23-year-old went 4-for-4 on Sunday to raise his batting average to .512. He has 22 hits — including five home runs — in just 10 games. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/24/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have eight games today, but the Jays and Rays end the wraparound weekend series in Dunedin for the matinee, so that game is off of the FanDuel main slate. So are those jerks in Miami that thumbed their nose at MLB and start a half hour earlier than everyone else on the East coast. […]

Tigers Recall Victor Reyes, Option JaCoby Jones

The Detroit Tigers have recalled outfielder Victor Reyes from Triple-A. Reyes began the year with the team, but was demoted on May 7. After the demotion, he went on a tear at Triple-A slashing .419/.490/.581 over 11 games. The 26-year-old Reyes has shown flashes of potential in the Majors, but he struggled before his demotion […]

Austin Riley Launches Two Blasts In Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley appears to be finally turning a corner over his last 150 plate appearances or so. On Sunday, Riley collected two hits, which were both home runs during the win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was a five RBI game for Riley as he continues to hit just about everything thrown […]

Kyle Lewis Has Two Hits, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis stole his second base of the season Sunday against the San Diego Padres. He also went 2-for-3 in the contest with two singles. It's good to see Lewis contributing in the speed department, but he doesn't have an extra-base hit since May 7. There's plenty of potential here, but Lewis […]

Victor Reyes Likely To Be Recalled Before Monday's Game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes is expected to be recalled from Triple-A prior to Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians. It sounds like Reyes will return to the big leagues following the demotion of outfielder JaCoby Jones. Reyes was struggling at the plate in early May before being sent to the minors. Since then, he […]

Alex Verdugo Pinch Hits Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (hamstring) pinch-hit in Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies, grouding into a force-out against Archie Bradley in the nith inning. It was Verdugo's first appearance since Friday, when he left the game with a hamstring strain. This appearance is a very good sign that the issue is not a […]

Franchy Cordero Launches Monster Home Run

Boston Red Sox outfielder Franchy Cordero hit his first home run of the season Sunday, a 474-foot moon shot off of Phillies starter Zack Wheeler in the top of the eighth inning. Even after the solo homer, Cordero's OPS for the year is a paltry .501, and he is on the roster bubble with Christian […]
