Wednesday night's game between the White Sox and the Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather, the White Sox announced on Twitter. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Thursday, with Game 1 beginning at 5:10 pm ET. Managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.

Mitch Haniger A Late Scratch Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was a late scratch Wednesday against the Houston Astros. Originally set to lead off and play right field, Haniger was replaced in the lineup by Jose Marmolejos. Second baseman Sam Haggerty was shifted into the leadoff slot. No reason has been given as of yet for the change, but fantasy […]

Tommy Pham Remains Out Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (calf) remains out of the lineup Wednesday. Pham was available to come off the bench in yesterday's game, though he's not yet ready to rejoin the starting nine. It makes sense that the Padres want to play it safe with the veteran outfielder, given the team's scheduled off-day on […]

Justin Upton, Albert Pujols Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton and first baseman Albert Pujols are not in Wednesday's lineup for the game against the Rangers. Manager Joe Maddon indicated that both veteran players are getting the day off, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Pujols and Upton have been fast out of the gate in terms of their […]

Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez are not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone had said that Judge would have to sit for a game or two, as he's dealing with lower-body soreness from travel and appearing in eight straight games. The team hopes the […]

Kole Calhoun Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a strained right hamstring. Calhoun was forced to leave Tuesday's game after grabbing his leg while attempting to steal a base, and the veteran outfielder will have to miss time as a result. It's a tough break for Calhoun, […]

Luis Robert Could Return On Thursday

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said on Wednesday that outfielder Luis Robert (illness) could return from the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday. Robert's test came back negative, but he is still achy and regaining strength. Robert was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday, but it appears it's not going to be […]

George Springer Making Blue Jays Debut Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quadriceps) has been activated from the injured list and will make his season debut in the leadoff spot as the designated hitter on Wednesday against Washington Nationals right-hander Erick Fedde. Toronto is easing Springer back into the swing of things in his first game of the season, but he'll […]

Kris Bryant Returns To Lineup On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (biceps) will return to the lineup on Wednesday versus the Atlanta Braves. Bryant was sidelined on Tuesday with right biceps discomfort, but said that he would of been able to play if necessary. Bryant is an upcoming free agent and could also be dealt if the Cubs don't get […]

Byron Buxton Has Career-High Five Hits

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was slotted into the leadoff spot for just the second time this season and delivered one of his best games as a professional. Buxton recorded the first five-hit game of his career, swatting his eighth home run of the year while scoring a pair of runs and swiping a base. […]

Garrett Cooper Exits Wednesday's Game Early

Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Garrett Cooper (foot) was forced to exit Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Cooper fouled a ball off his foot but was able to finish the at-bat, grounding out. He seemed to hobble off the field after the groundout, though, and was then replaced in the lineup by Lewis Brinson. X-rays were […]

Corey Dickerson Forced To Leave Wednesday's Game

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson was forced to leave Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers due to mild discomfort in his right groin. Dickerson had drawn two walks in the game and seemed okay, but was replaced defensively by Magneuris Sierra. The Marlins also had to remove Garrett Cooper (foot) from the game at the […]

Post-Hype Dynasty Trade Targets

The phrase "dynasty trade target" usually evokes images of promising prospects brimming with potential yet to debut. Youth should be emphasized but players who have already debuted and underwhelmed shouldn't be forgotten. Losing that shiny new prospect label provides a buying opportunity, for lack of a better term, in keeper and dynasty leagues. Young players […]
