Daniel Robertson Out On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson (illness) is not in the starting lineup on Friday after leaving the game early with an allergic reaction.

Robbie Ray Gets Rematch With Giants on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray will toe the rubber against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night. Ray struggled in his last outing against the Giants, but will face them at pitcher-friendly Oracle Park tonight.

Diamondbacks Calling Up Power-Hitting Kevin Cron

The Arizona Diamondbacks are on the verge of promoting first baseman/third baseman Kevin Cron from Triple-A. Cron is tearing the cover off the ball in Reno this season, hitting 21 home runs in 44 games, owning a slugging percentage of an even .800. In four years of full-season baseball, Cron has never hit fewer than […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 8)

The top prospect exodus continued last week with Keston Hiura, Austin Riley and Brendan Rodgers all receiving the call to The Show. Riley immediately made his presence known to the Braves with a number of strong performances. Touki Toussaint also continued his up-and-down relationship with the Braves. Even with all the promotions this season already, […]

Taylor Clarke Will Start Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Clarke will make another start on Saturday against the Giants. Clarke wasn't good in his time in the minors this year before getting called up, but he opened eyes on May 7 by allowing just two runs in six innings against the Rays. Clarke, 26, doesn't strike many hitters out, […]

Wilmer Flores Has Fractured Foot

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Wilmer Flores (foot), who was placed on the injured list on Tuesday, has been diagnosed with a foot fracture. It means that Flores probably will be out around a month or more. The 27-year-old was hitting a respectable .281/.326/.398 with only two home runs and 14 RBI in 128 at-bats. He's not […]

Merrill Kelly Has Favorable Matchup on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly will look to post another quality start on Wednesday when he takes on the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Kelly has struggled a bit against the Padres this year, posting a 5.73 ERA in two starts. However, Kelly did beat the Padres on April 1 with a quality start […]

David Peralta Out, Ildemaro Vargas Leading Off Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) is out of the lineup on Wednesday after leaving the game early on Tuesday with a shoulder injury. Blake Swihart is starting in left field and batting eighth, while Ildemaro Vargas is at second base and hitting leadoff against Padres left-handed starter Eric Lauer. Hopefully Peralta will be ready […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 8

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 […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 8 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 20th (unless otherwise noted).

Fortunately, the […]

David Peralta Day-To-Day With Shoulder Soreness

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) was removed from the game early on Tuesday with right shoulder soreness. He is listed as day-to-day.

David Peralta Leaves Game With Apparent Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta departed Tuesday night's game against the Padres with an apparent injury.

He was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts when he was replaced in the field in the bottom of […]

Wilmer Flores Placed On Injured List

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed infielder Wilmer Flores (foot) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right foot contusion and recalled infielder Ildemaro Vargas from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

The Cut List (Week 8) - Time to Let Go?

May is half over. That's scarcely believable, but it's true. Much more believable but equally true: there are plenty of players that should be axed. April showers can't bring May flowers for everyone, and some players even got that proverb mixed up: they are following up April flowers with damp May production. This analogy is […]

Luke Weaver Has Nice Matchup on Tap Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Luke Weaver could be one of the top pitching options on the slate Monday in a matchup against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Weaver has been impressive this season, entering the game with a 3.16 ERA and a 3-2 record. The young righty has held right-handed hitters to a .239 […]

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray failed to make it past the fourth inning on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants.
