Mark Canha Sitting Out On Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The veteran slugger will take a seat for the second time in the last three games. Possibly, Canha is dealing with a minor injury but he hasn't been great with the bat anyway. Gio Urshela […]

Jorge Polanco Absent On Friday

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 31-year-old has been sluggish with the bat since returning from the injured list. He has an ugly .192/.222/.231 slash line over 27 plate appearances since returning to the field. Dylan Moore will take over […]

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Emerson Hancock has been recalled to start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

Josh Smith Held Out On Friday

Texas Rangers infielder Josh Smith (glute) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This is the same issue that sidelined Smith for some time in June.

Enoli Paredes Placed On 15-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Enoli Paredes (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. This is a tough blow to the Brewers bullpen considering how impressive Paredes has looked this season. He holds a 1.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 12/8 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings this season. The severity of the […]

It sounds like […]

Corey Seager Absent Once Again

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres.

It […]

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Keider Montero has been recalled ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The 23-year-old will slide into the rotation with Casey Mize (hamstring) heading to the injured list. Montero has already made two appearances with the Tigers this season. Neither of them went overly well considering he holds an ugly […]

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (thumb) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The D-Backs haven't offered a timetable for Montgomery's return […]

Ryan Mountcastle Missing Third Straight Game

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. The 27-year-old continues to sit out due to ongoing illness. This sounds like a minor issue that shouldn't force Mountcastle onto the injured list. In his absence, Ryan O'Hearn covers first […]

Mitch Garver Absent On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Mitch Garver (wrist) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran slugger will take a seat after getting hit by a pitch in the hand during Sunday's contest. Currently, Garver is considered as day-to-day with a right wrist contusion. In the meantime, Cal Raleigh […]

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Joe Mantiply To Serve As Opener In Front Of Ryne Nelson

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Joe Mantiply will serve as the opener ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

J.D. Martinez Scratched On Tuesday

New York Mets designated hitter J.D. Martinez (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The veteran slugger is being pulled out of the lineup due to left-ankle soreness. Fantasy managers don't need to panic, as this sounds like a minor issue. For now, Martinez should be […]

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. It sounds like Seager is doing better after being hit by a pitch during Saturday's game. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager remains day-to-day with a left hand contusion. Josh Smith will cover shortstop […]

Max Meyer Quiet During June

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Max Meyer has been a name that has been talked about a lot recently about possibly joining the big league rotation. The 25-year-old has been less than impressive during his starts with Triple-A Jacksonville in June. Through four starts, Meyer has posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 13/7 K/BB ratio […]

Josh Naylor Heating Up At The Plate

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor has been heating up with the bat over the last few days. On Sunday, Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the loss to the Kansas City Royals. He was slow out of the gate, but Naylor has started to swing the bat better as of […]

Corey Seager Considered Day-To-Day

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) was forced to exit Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch in the hand. As a result, Seager sat out on Sunday and underwent an MRI on Monday.

Joey Ortiz Returning On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Ortiz has missed the last three games due to neck discomfort. He'll make the start at third base and bat leadoff against left-hander Austin Gomber on Monday. The 25-year-old has been doing a solid job […]

Hunter Brown Tosses Six Scoreless Frames

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown was impressive on the mound during Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-hander tossed six scoreless innings while allowing only two hits in the win. He struck out five batters while walking three along the way. Brown has allowed an unbelievable one run over his last five […]

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) saw a mixed bag of results during Friday's rehab outing with Triple-A Durham. The left-hander allowed three runs on five hits over three innings of work. Springs was hit around more than expected but he also struck out five batters during this outing. He threw a total […]
