In his absence on Wednesday, Elvis Andrus will again man […]

J.P. Crawford Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (shoulder) is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the New York Yankees. It's not a surprise after he was forced from Tuesday's game early due to a right-shoulder contusion. However, the good news is the 28-year-old's X-rays came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day and could return […]

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (thumb) has been scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Miami Marlins with left-thumb discomfort.

With a well-timed off day coming on […]

Oswald Peraza - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Oswald Peraza, SS, New York Yankees ANALYSIS: While Peraza's 12-game Major League stint earlier this season brought literally nothing for fantasy managers, he's still a name I'm intrigued about for this season.
