Chris Taylor is Out on Thursday
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (rest) is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Phillies. Taylor has been struggling lately, so he could definitely use a night off. He's struck out nine of his last 13 at-bats, but is still hitting fairly decent over the last two weeks. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start […]

Addison Russell Out Of Thursday’s Series Opener
Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell is absent from Thursday’s lineup versus the Mets. Second baseman Javier Baez will slide over to shortstop with Ben Zobrist hitting first and playing second base. Russell has picked it up lately and is hitting .316 over his last 38 at-bats.

Manager Ron Gardenhire told reporters that second baseman Dixon Machado may need […]

Three Straight Multi-Hit Games For Amed Rosario
It may have taken some time, but New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario is definitely starting to show why he was one of baseball’s best prospects just a year ago.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/31/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
We have a nine-game slate on tap for this Thursday, where we will likely see Clayton Kershaw back. He has been on the DL for nearly a month and will make his return against the Phillies. The initial worry is that he won't be going deep into games and is, therefore, not worth his salary. In […]

Danny Espinosa Released By Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers minor league shortstop Danny Espinosa has been released. Espinosa was signed to a minor league deal May 6 as possible depth after Corey Seager went down with Tommy John surgery. Espinosa has now been released by two minor league teams this year, as he started out in the Blue Jays system. It […]

Orlando Arcia Recalled From Triple-A
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia has been called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Calling up Arcia is the corresponding move to placing Tyler Saladino on the disabled list with an ankle sprain, and Arcia will look to earn his spot on the roster. He was originally sent down on May 25 after a two-month slump […]

Pedro Florimon Hits DL With Broken Foot
After exiting Tuesday night’s game with a foot injury, the worst fears have been realized for Philadelphia Phillies infielder Pedro Florimon. The 31-year-old suffered a broken foot when he fouled a ball off of it in the first inning of the victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers. As a result of his injury and subsequent […]

Francisco Lindor Gets a Day Off on Wednesday
Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game. It's a regular day of rest for Lindor, who will be replaced at shortstop by Erik Gonzalez. Gonzalez will bat ninth, with Greg Allen leading off. Lindor should be right back in there for Thursday's series opener against the Twins.

Asdrubal Cabrera Goes Deep Twice In Loss
New York Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera has done nothing but hit since Game 1 of the 2018 season. He may have slowed down at times, but even during his cold periods, he’s hit. In a 7-6 loss to the Atlanta Braves On Tuesday, he continued his mashing ways by crushing two home runs. He’s now […]

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts hit his eighth homer of season Tuesday night in an 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. Bogaerts is only two shy of his HR total in 2017 (10). He finished the night 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI and brought his batting average up to .283. Bogaerts has […]

Daniel Robertson Hits Winning HR Tuesday Versus Oakland
Tampa Bay Rays middle infielder Daniel Robertson hit a key home run Tuesday versus the Athletics. At the time, his solo HR in the ninth inning put the Rays up 4-1, but it would grow in importance as the Rays would struggle in the bottom of the inning, and the final score was 4-3. Robertson […]

Tyler Saladino Headed To Disabled List
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (ankle) will head to the 10-day disabled list for an ankle injury he acquired in Tuesday's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. While Saladino did not break any bones, this is most likely just an insurance move to ensure he doesn't injure his ankle any further. Orlando Arcia is the […]

Jean Segura is Back in The Lineup on Tuesday
Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura (head) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest with the Texas Rangers. He missed two straight games after being kicked in the head during a play at second base on Saturday. Guillermo Heredia (rest) is not in Tuesday's lineup, so Segura is officially back and ready to go.

Carlos Correa Not In Lineup Tuesday
Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is not in the lineup against the Yankees on Tuesday, per mlb.com. This simply appears to be a day off for Correa, who has had an uncharacteristic poor month of May. Over his last 101 at-bats, Correa is slashing a meager .196/. 295/.380 with 25 strikeouts to only 11 walks. […]
