Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel has a torn labrum in his right shoulder and will not play the rest of the season.

Kevin Kiermaier Remains Out Against Rangers

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (neck) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. Kiermaier hasn't played since he injured his neck on Sunday. The Rays are hopeful Kiermaier can play this weekend, but that depends on his progress. Avisail Garcia will bat leadoff and play center field versus […]

Nick Senzel Remains Out Of Lineup Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (shoulder) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Senzel has been dealing with a right shoulder injury that has kept him out of the lineup for eight consecutive games.

Max Kepler Remains Out of Lineup on Thursday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed a massive breakout season with totals of 36 home runs, 90 RBI, 96 runs scored and a […]

Mitch Haniger Not Likely To Return This Season

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (back) will remain shut down from his rehab assignment due to back tightness and all indications point to the 28-year-old missing the remainder of the season. It has been a very tough year for Haniger, who only managed to appear in 63 games with totals of 15 home runs, 32 […]

Manuel Margot Not Starting Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot is out of Thursday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs. Margot carried the Friars to victory on Wednesday, collecting three knocks in four at-bats with a homer, two runs and a steal. After being benched earlier this season, Margot has rebounded to post a respectable .246/.318/.411 slash with 12 […]

Anthony Rizzo Leading Off Thursday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is the leadoff hitter on Thursday as the team is shaking things up a bit. Kyle Schwarber is in the three-hole for the first time all season and Kris Bryant hits cleanup for just the second time. Ian Happ is also making his first start since September 3, while […]

Christian Yelich To Avoid Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers star outfielder Christian Yelich, out for the rest of 2019 with a broken patella, will not need surgery on the fracture. Yelich is thus expected to be good to go at the start of 2020, so dynasty owners should be relieved. As is often the case in September, however, the Brewers have not […]

Ian Desmond Homers In Win

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond launched a 448-foot solo shot over the center field wall to give the team the lead in the bottom of the sixth on Wednesday. It was Desmond's 17th long ball of the year, and it would eventually turn out to be the winning run as the Rockies held off the […]

Paul Goldschmidt Out of Thursday's Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is off on Thursday for a series finale at Coors Field. In his place is Rangel Ravelo batting fifth. As with any visit to Coors Field, the entire Cardinals' lineup is tempting for DFS purposes. Ravelo is an unknown quantity who should probably be avoided, but someone like […]

Daniel Palka Getting Another Shot

Chicago White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka is in the lineup and batting sixth on Thursday. He replaces Leury Garcia, who just returned from bereavement leave and is sitting after starting Tuesday and Wednesday. It's been an unfortunate campaign for Palka, who is now 1-for-54 on the year with six walks and a hit-by-pitch in 61 […]

Jeff McNeil Off Thursday

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil is not in the team's lineup for Thursday's day game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It looks like a simple off day, with none of McNeil's health issues from earlier in the season at play this time. Robinson Cano returns from an off day to play second base and bat […]

Jarrod Dyson Returns, Batting Eighth

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson, who missed two straight starts and three out of four with performance issues, is back in the lineup Thursday. But he's only batting eighth, a far cry from the leadoff spot he often occupied throughout the first five months of the season. Not surprisingly, he is someone to avoid in […]

Jorge Soler Blasts Two Home Runs

Kansas City Royals slugger Jorge Soler was at it again on Wednesday as he drilled a pair of bombs off the White Sox. It is Soler's third multi-homer game in the last five weeks, and it brings him up to 43 on the season. The 27-year-old has powered his way into the spotlight this year, […]

A.J. Pollock Tallies Two RBI On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old is slashing .260/.324/.475 with 14 HRs, 41 RBI, 44 runs scored through 265 at-bats this season. He has been relatively productive when he has managed to stay healthy, but the Dodgers' loaded […]

Champ or Chump: Nico Hoerner and Ketel Marte

Is it just me, or are an unusual number of superstars missing time due to injury down the stretch? If you're looking for a Christian Yelich replacement, Trent Grisham was previously covered in the column as an intriguing add with playing time concerns. Those playing time concerns have now evaporated, so Grisham is an astute […]

Austin Hays Collects Three Hits Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays continued to make a good first impression in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers, going 3-for-4 with two singles and a double. The 24-year-old is one of the O's top prospects and is now hitting .300 in 11 plate appearances. The sample size is obviously small, but the end of […]

Michael Conforto Sits Out Against Lefty

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Conforto will get a rest day here against the left-handed starter. Juan Lagares will draw the start in center field and bat eighth versus lefty Robbie Ray.

Starling Marte Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Marte sprained his wrist on Sunday and hasn't been in the starting lineup since then. He's come off the bench a few times, but hasn't been able to draw any starts in the outfield. Kevin […]

Ramon Laureano Returns to the Lineup on Wednesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (shin) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. Laureano suffered some cramping on Saturday and sat out the last few games. However, it appears to be a minor issue and he'll suit up for this one. Laureano will bat seventh and play right field […]
