Jason Heyward Steals Base In Victory

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 1-for-4 with a single, a stolen base and run scored in Tuesday's victory versus the New York Mets. Heyward picked up the Cubs first hit of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs and that would rally the Cubs to score two runs in […]

Adam Eaton Appeals Suspension

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton has been suspended one game. Eaton started a brawl after taking issue with infielder Andres Gimenez for the way he applied a tag. Eaton has appealed his suspension and will be able to play for as long as it takes for a final decision to be made. Eaton has […]

Kyle Lewis Walks In Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis took the field for the first time this season on Tuesday, and promptly ran into a buzzsaw in Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urias. Lewis went 0-for-3 from the two spot in the lineup, but did reach base with a walk. Most importantly, he completed the game without incident. Fantasy […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Play Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (forearm) is expected to play in Thursday's series opener against the Padres. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Betts "felt better as the day progressed" and that he received more treatment. The superstar outfielder should be good to go on Thursday for a matchup against Padres' left-hander Ryan Weathers. […]

Anthony Santander Leaves Game With Injury

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (leg) left Tuesday's game with an apparent leg injury. Santander singled in the first inning and landed awkwardly on his left leg while attempting to get back to the base on a pickoff throw. The veteran outfielder was noticeably in pain and was unable to put any weight on the […]

Juan Soto Placed On 10-Day IL With Shoulder Strain

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto has been placed on the 10-day IL with a strained left shoulder, per Mark Zuckerman of MASN. Yadiel Hernandez has been called up to take his place. This is a bummer for both the Nationals and fantasy managers alike. The dynamic 22-year-old already got off to a late start this […]

Trent Grisham (quad) Back In The Lineup On Tuesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham has returned to the lineup on Tuesday. He's starting in center field and hitting leadoff vs. Corbin Brunes and the Brewers. Grisham was held out of the last two games with quad tightness, which was a precautionary move by the Padres. The 24-year-old is slashing .323/.447/.645 with three home […]

Clint Frazier Taking A Seat For First Game Of Series

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is taking a seat on the bench for the first game of the series against Atlanta. Frazier is enduring a brutal stretch to start the season, as he is 6-for-36 with no homers and a 14:4 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The decision to go with Brett Gardner, who is batting third, […]

Cavan Biggio (Hand) Returns To Lineup On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Cavan Biggio (hand) has returned to the lineup on Tuesday. He's starting in right field and batting sixth against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox. Biggio was dealing with some hand discomfort late last week and missed a few games as a result. Biggio has really struggled to […]

Byron Buxton Batting Fourth In First Game Of Doubleheader

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is batting fourth in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Athletics. Buxton was slated to make his return to the lineup on Saturday, though the game was postponed due to several positive COVID-19 tests in the Twins' clubhouse. After routinely batting at the bottom of the lineup in […]

Mike Tauchman, Mike Ford Enter Tuesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman and first baseman Mike Ford are in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta. Manager Aaron Boone opted to make some changes to the lineup in the hopes of boosting a struggling offense, inserting two lefty bats into the order. Both Tauchman and Ford, who was recently recalled from […]

Pirates-Tigers Game On Tuesday Is Postponed

The Pittsburgh Pirates-Detroit Tigers matchup for Tuesday has been postponed due to snow, according to Gerard Gilberto of DK Pittsburgh Sports. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday, with Game 1 scheduled for a 2:10 pm start. Adjust your lineups for tonight and tomorrow accordingly.

Aaron Hicks Getting The Day Off Tuesday, Could Sit Again Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is not in Tuesday's lineup for the contest against the Braves. At first glance, it seems like a routine day off, though manager Aaron Boone said that Hicks could remain out of the lineup on Wednesday to work on "mechanical adjustments." The 31-year-old outfielder is batting just .160- though […]

Alex Kirilloff Won't Be Recalled During Road Trip

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff won't be recalled from the team's alternate site while the big club is on a road trip. Manager Rocco Baldelli didn't mention Kirilloff by name, though he indicated that the team didn't want players traveling from coast to coast during the pandemic. It's unfortunate timing for Kirilloff, as Twins' outfielders […]

Brent Rooker Reinstated From Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Brent Rooker (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Rooker's return comes at a good time for the Twins, as they will be without outfielders Max Kepler (COVID-19) and Kyle Garlick (COVID-19) for at least the remainder of the week. The 26-year-old has been a bit disappointing at […]

Kyle Lewis Returns Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis is in the lineup batting second and playing center field Tuesday against Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's been a more extended absence for Lewis than originally anticipated when he collided with the outfield wall in the last week of spring training. Now, 17 regular season games later, […]

Max Kepler, Kyle Garlick, Caleb Thielbar Placed On COVID-19 Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (COVID-19), outfielder Kyle Garlick (COVID-19), and relief pitcher Caleb Thielbar (COVID-19) have been placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. Garlick had tested positive for the virus, and it seems likely that Kepler and Thielbar also did- given the team's recent outbreak- so fantasy managers may be without them for […]

Lewis Brinson Expected To Be Called Up

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson is expected to be called up from the alternate site before Tuesday's game. With Starling Marte (rib) heading to the injured list, the Marlins need another outfielder up, and Brinson appears to be the choice. He and Magneuris Sierra will likely split time in center field, although Jon Berti is […]

Billy McKinney Slugs First Home Run Of The Season

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Billy McKinney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Padres. McKinney took advantage of a bad pitch from Joe Musgrove and sent it into the seats in right to put the Brewers up 2-1 in the fifth. Despite cranking his first home run of the year, […]

Bryce Harper Collects Three Hits, Stolen Base Versus Giants

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in a 2-0 loss to the Giants on Monday. Harper was out of the lineup Saturday with a back issue, but he said he's healthy and it's encouraging to see him steal a base. Harper is off to a blistering start to 2021 slashing […]

Jose Marmolejos Hits His Third Homer

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jose Marmolejos went deep for the third time on Monday, hitting a laser of a shot off of Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May. The lefty swinger took a 98.9 MPH fastball and turned it around with a 114.1 MPH exit velocity. It was a low line drive, with a launch […]

Taylor Trammell Breaks Out

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell has been struggling of late, but on Monday he appeared to break out. Trammell went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and a run scored. The homer was an opposite-field bomb off Dodgers starter Dustin May to the deepest part of the ballpark. Despite a disappointing .706 […]
