Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) left the game early on Wednesday and was replaced by first baseman Kendrys Morales. Davis has been dealing with a left hip contusion since Sunday and didn't look right on Wednesday before departing. The slugging outfielder was hitless in two plate appearances with a walk before leaving. He […]

Khris Davis Back In Lineup Wednesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds. Davis had suffered a hip contusion on Sunday that has made him day-to-day since.

Hot Prospects To Watch - Robert Rising, Mountcastle Hitting, Gore Impressing

If you needed proof that top prospects can make an immediate impact for fantasy owners at the major league level, look no further than Nick Senzel. He made his debut on Friday night against the Giants, homered in his second career game on Saturday and went deep twice in six at-bats on Monday night. The […]

Khris Davis Scratched Tuesday Night

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Davis was initially in the lineup, but he'll now sit after suffering a left hip contusion on Sunday. He should still be considered day-to-day, so hopefully the elite slugger can return on Wednesday and return to his homering ways […]

Khris Davis is Back on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Davis left Sunday's game against the Pirates after suffering a left hip contusion. Davis will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Tyler Mahle. Davis is always a threat to go deep […]

Matt Olson is Activated on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Olson suffered a hamate bone fracture during the first series of the season. The Athletics haven't announced their lineup yet, but Olson is expected to be in it. Fantasy owners may want to be patient with Olson because […]

A.J. Puk Throwing To Hitters

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher A.J. Puk (elbow) has been throwing to hitters in extended spring training. Once he's deemed ready, Puk will join a minor league affiliate to begin his 2019 season. He's recovering from Tommy John surgery and might be an option for Oakland's rotation in the second half of the season. The southpaw […]

Blake Treinen Unlikely To Land On Injured List

Oakland Athletics closer Blake Treinen (elbow) has been showing improvement over the last few days and is expected to avoid the injured list. The righty has been unavailable the last two days with what the team thinks is right elbow tendinitis, but he should be fine in the long run. An exam on Monday didn't […]

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 6

With the calendar flipping over to May last week, we as fantasy managers, have to legitimately assess the state of our team's play so far.

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 5/7/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As baseball moves closer and closer to the three true outcomes (home runs, walks and strikeouts) the strikeout numbers can be alarming. At this point in the 2019 season, pitchers are averaging 8.9 strikeouts per nine innings, very close to one per inning. By comparison, 20 years ago, in 1999, that number was 6.5 strikeouts […]

Jharel Cotton Throwing In Extended Spring Training

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jharel Cotton (elbow), who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, has been throwing in extended spring training.

Sean Manaea To Throw Bullpen Tuesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session on Tuesday after having left shoulder surgery on Sept. 19, 2018. The 27-year-old had dealt with chronic shoulder impingement the previous two seasons, and it got to the point where he was unable to pitch without pain. There is potential […]

Matt Olson To Return Tuesday, Kendrys Morales Likely Gone

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) will come off the injured list on Tuesday against the Reds. Olson had 29 home runs and 84 RBI last year, but he broke the hamate bone in his right hand on March 21 in the two-game series against the Mariners in Japan. In a corresponding move, the […]

Sean Murphy Has Torn Meniscus

Oakland Athletics catching prospect Sean Murphy (knee) suffered a torn left meniscus and will require surgery. The typical recovery period for meniscus surgery is four to six weeks, but it could take Murphy longer because the injury affects his ability to squat behind the plate. It's a bummer because the 2016 third-round pick was hitting […]
