Jordy Mercer Could Return Saturday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jordy Mercer (quadriceps) took ground balls and went through agility drills with head athletic trainer Doug Teter before the game on Wednesday.

Miguel Rojas Day-To-Day

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (back) is listed as day-to-day after leaving the game early on Wednesday with back spasms. The Fish were off on Thursday, but there's still a chance Rojas is held out another day on Friday. Check the Marlins lineup before proceeding on Friday.

Orlando Arcia Picking It Up

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia started the year off slow but was hitting .290 (26-for-124) with three home runs and 10 RBI since the first 20 at-bats of his season entering Wednesday's game. He's mostly hit eighth in the lineup in 2019, however, which keeps his fantasy value somewhat capped. Arcia hit .236 with a […]

Tim Beckham is Out of the Lineup on Thursday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Tim Beckham (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Dee Gordon (wrist) is back in the lineup, so he might cut into Beckham's playing time. J.P. Crawford is seeing playing time at shortstop, but that could quickly be reduced if he continues to struggle. […]

Nick Gordon Back On Injured List In Minors

Minnesota Twins shortstop Nick Gordon (thigh) has landed back on the minor league injured list with a left adductor strain. It's Gordon's second trip to the injured list in 2019, although he had gone 12-for-34 with five doubles, five RBI and three stolen bases in eight games since his return. The team's No. 10 prospect, […]

Scott Kingery On Minor League Rehab Assignment

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery (hamstring) is moving his rehab assignment to Double-A Reading for Thursday and Friday. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list since April 20 with a strained right hamstring and played for Low-A Lakewood on Tuesday.

Trea Turner Could Be Activated Friday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (finger) could be activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 25-year-old landed on the IL back on April 2, where he suffered a broken right index finger on a bunt attempt. Turner began a rehab assignment with the Class A Potomac Nationals on Tuesday, and played 9 innings […]

Willy Adames Struggling To Produce

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames has not lived up to his hype or 2018 numbers so far this year. He’s slashing .236/.319/.333 with only one home run and one stolen base. He’s also below average in every Statcast category with the exception of speed. Adames wasn’t projected to have a great batting average, but […]

Trevor Story Avoids Major Injury

Colorado Rockies superstar shortstop Trevor Story left Wednesday's game early after a big collision with outfielder Raimel Tapia, but he told reporters after the game that it's just a bruised knee that will keep him sidelined for a day or two. Story has continued his pounding of opposing pitching this season after breaking out last […]

Brendan Rodgers Called Up By Rockies

The Colorado Rockies will call up top prospect Brendan Rodgers to the big leagues on Friday. The 22-year-old was enjoying a productive season at Triple-A Albuquerque, slashing .356/.421/.644 to go along with nine home runs and 21 RBI. With shortstop Trevor Story leaving Wednesday's game after a collision, Rodgers, MLB's No. 10 prospect, could see […]

Adalberto Mondesi Steals Two More Bases

Kansas City Royals speedster Adalberto Mondesi was back at it again on Wednesday as he swiped a pair of bases from the Rangers. Mondesi's two thefts weren't enough to get him home as he was left without a run scored for the fourth straight game, but he's now got five steals in his last six […]

Jean Segura Hits Third Homer

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura went 2-for-4 with his third home run of the season Wednesday night vs Milwaukee. It was Segura's third round-tripper of the season and he is now sporting an impressive .313 batting average. Where he's been disappointing, however, is stolen bases as the Phillies simply don't let him run as much […]

Addison Russell Goes Yard

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Russell finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. Russell recently returned from a 40 game suspension and is nothing more than a watch list candidate at the moment.

Elvis Andrus Placed On IL, Willie Calhoun Recalled From Triple-A

The Texas Rangers have placed shortstop Elvis Andrus (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Andrus seemed to slow up on his way to first base Tuesday night and was removed from the game for a hamstring issue. The Rangers have also recalled outfield prospect Willie Calhoun from Triple-A. Calhoun has been absolutely mashing Triple-A pitching, […]

Amed Rosario Continues Rise With Two Hits
