Garrett Hampson To Be Regular With Brendan Rodgers On IL

The Colorado Rockies placed shortstop Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right shoulder impingement.

Tim Anderson Headed To The Injured List

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (ankle) is headed to the 10-day injured list with a high right ankle sprain.

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 13

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Eduardo Escobar Could Shift To Second Base

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar might be shifted over to second base with first baseman/third baseman Jake Lamb (oblique) activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) restarted his minor league rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire on Tuesday after he was slowed last week in his recovery from an ankle sprain.
