Ramon Laureano Returning To Action Tuesday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (wrist) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. Laureano jammed his wrist while sliding into a base during last Friday's game, though it was always considered a minor injury, with his relatively quick return supporting that sentiment. The 26-year-old center fielder will bat third against Dodgers' […]

Lorenzo Cain Sitting On Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (oblique) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs. This marks Cain's third straight absence, with manager Craig Counsell referring to his veteran outfielder as day-to-day.

Andrew McCutchen Not In Lineup For Tuesday's Game
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen is not in the starting lineup for the first time this season on Tuesday. This will be a day off for McCutchen, who has drawn five walks so far this year but is hitting just 2-for-12 in four games. Matt Joyce will get the start in left, and is batting […]

Cody Bellinger, Chris Taylor Out Tuesday With Injuries
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielders Cody Bellinger (calf) and Chris Taylor (elbow) are not in the lineup on Tuesday after exiting Monday night's game early.

Jesse Winker Out For Third Straight Game On Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (illness) will miss his third straight game on Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

There is still no word on how much longer Winker may be out.

Gregory Polanco Not In Pirates Lineup Tuesday
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cincinnati. Polanco will get the day off, as he has struggled at the plate through his first four games, going 1-for-14 with six strikeouts. Phillip Evans will get the start in right field, while Erik Gonzalez will man third base for […]

Aaron Hicks Sits Out Tuesday Against Orioles
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will sit out Tuesday's matchup with the Orioles. This should just be a day off for Hicks, who has slumped out of the gates by going 1-for-15 with seven strikeouts in four games. Brett Gardner will take over for Hicks in center, and he will be hitting third against […]

George Springer Faces Live Pitching
Toronto Blue Jays injured outfielder George Springer (oblique) is eligible to come off the injured list on Thursday. In preparation for that possible outcome, he faced live pitching today and went 4-for-11 with three walks and two strikeouts while facing A.J. Cole, Joel Payamps, and Travis Bergen. Springer was injured late in spring training and […]

Raimel Tapia Back In Lineup Tuesday Against Arizona
Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia (neck) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday and will bat leadoff against Luke Weaver and the Diamondbacks.

Kevin Kiermaier To Miss A Few Weeks
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (quad) says that he will miss a few weeks, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Kiermaier exited Monday's game early with what was reported to be quad tightness. There's no official word from the team yet, but it seems like Kiermaier is heading for a stint […]

Randy Arozarena Goes 2-For-3 In Loss To Boston
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 11-2 loss to the Red Sox. The power has not shown up yet for Arozarena, but he's still had a good start getting on base as he is 4-for-11 with a walk and a run scored through three […]

Gregory Polanco Continues To Struggle Early On
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco saw his early season woes continue on Monday, as he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the loss to the Reds. Through four games now this season, Polanco is just 1-for-14 with three walks, six strikeouts and a run scored. It's been a hard drop off for Polanco in production, […]

Ehire Adrianza Placed On Restricted List
Atlanta Braves infielder Ehire Adrianza had to leave the team for a personal reason and has been placed on the restricted list.

Garrett Cooper Back In The Lineup On Tuesday
Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Garrett Cooper is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Juan Soto Shares Reps During Monday's Workout
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (calf) split the right-field reps during Monday's workout. Soto, who is dealing with a minor calf issue, and Yadiel Hernandez got the work in right during the Nationals' Monday workout, likely a case of the team being extra cautious with their superstar slugger, especially considering they'll already be without a […]

Josh Bell, Brad Hand Among Nationals Not On Roster
Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell and closer Brad Hand are the biggest names that do not appear on the team's roster as they are set to play their first game of the year Tuesday following a coronavirus outbreak.

Luis Arraez Back In Tuesday's Lineup
Minnesota Twins utility Luis Arraez (illness) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Detroit.

Arraez is off to a […]

Byron Buxton Out Of Lineup, Could Still Appear In Game
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (illness) is not in Tuesday's lineup for the second game of the series against the Tigers. Buxton continues to deal with a non-COVID-related illness, one that forced him out of Sunday's game early and sidelined him for Monday's contest- though manager Rocco Baldelli said that the 27-year-old was feeling better […]

Mark Canha Slugs First Homer Of Season
Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday. Canha has been batting leadoff this season after the departure of Marcus Semien which significantly increases Canha's fantasy value. He doesn't hit for a strong batting average but he's posted on-base percentages of .387 and […]

Cody Bellinger Day-To-Day With Foot Injury
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger (foot) left Monday night's game against the Oakland Athletics after his foot was stepped on during a close play at first base. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated after the game that Bellinger was day-to-day. It certainly doesn't sound like anything that should cost Bellinger more than a game […]

Michael Conforto With Two Hits On Monday
New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto started off his 2021 campaign strong with two hits and an RBI in the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Phillies on Monday. Conforto, who hit third in the opener, finished the contest going 2-for-5. In 2021, Conforto can potentially provide fantasy managers with 30 home runs and 90-100 RBI, […]

Bryan Reynolds Homers To Extend Hitting Streak
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 5-3 loss to the Reds on Monday. Reynolds now has a hit in each of his first four games, as he is 5-for-15 to start 2021. He looked good this spring with a .304/.385/.522 triple-slash line and three […]

Jake Fraley Collects Two More Walks
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley walked twice on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. He went 0-for-2 otherwise, but those two free passes now give Fraley a league-leading eight walks over the first four games of the season. Fraley is now slashing a bizarre .125/.588/.838 on the year. He does not carry significant fantasy value […]
