Jason Heyward Not In Lineup On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (illness) is not part of the starting lineup on Monday as the team wraps up a five-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals. Heyward left Sunday's game after the fifth inning as he was feeling light-headed and he's apparently still dealing with something related to Sunday's maladies. He should be […]

We’re in the final month of the MLB regular season, meaning that the fantasy regular seasons for many of us will be over soon with playoffs right around the corner.

Randal Grichuk Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk is not part of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Grichuk had started and hit second in the lineup in the team's previous 18 games, so he was certainly due for a day off. Jonathan Villar is hitting second in Sunday's game while Cavan Biggio […]

Jay Bruce Placed On Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies have placed outfielder Jay Bruce (quad) on the 10-Day Injured List. Outfielder Kyle Garlick was added to the team's roster in a corresponding move.

J.T. Realmuto Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is getting the day off on Sunday as the team faces Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets.

Gleyber Torres Not In Lineup On Sunday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres returned to the lineup on Saturday after missing about two weeks while dealing with a left quad strain. However, he's heading to the bench for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles as Tyler Wade is getting the start at shortstop. It seems as if the team is doing little […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ribs) suffered an apparent rib injury in Saturday's game and is headed for a trip to the Injured List for what could be a significant injury.

Luis Arraez Back In Lineup Sunday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez (patella) will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers after missing the team's past three games while dealing with left patellar soreness. Arraez will hit second in the game on Sunday, a boost from his typical sixth or seventh spot in the order. Arraez has a […]

Nelson Cruz Sitting On Sunday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (hip) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Cruz was originally slated to start and hit third in the game, but was instead scratched due to hip tightness, though it sounds like Cruz's absence may just be nothing more than a day off. Rookie […]

Larry Fitzgerald Sitting Out Practice For Rest

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (rest) has been sidelined for practice lately to allow him to rest up for the start of the year.

Chase Edmonds Could Be A Sneaky Late-Round Pick

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds was extremely effective in limited work last year. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry on 60 carries and 8.8 yards per reception on 12 receptions. While he's the clear No. 2 running back behind Kenyan Drake, Edmonds should still have plenty of opportunities to make plays this year, given […]

Kenyan Drake Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out about two weeks with what was described by head coach Kliff Kingsbury as "soreness" and "precautionary stuff." Drake made some sports writers and fantasy drafters nervous when he was spotted wearing a walking boot a couple weeks back. Drake said there was […]
