Jeff McNeil Will Be Activated Before Monday's Game

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game, according to manager Luis Rojas. He has been sidelined since early May due to a left hamstring strain. The 29-year-old will be a significant boost to the lineup that has been crushed by injuries. McNeil should […]

Luis Severino Plays Catch Saturday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (groin) was able to play catch on Saturday. This is the first time that Severino has thrown since suffering a Grade 2 right groin strain last weekend. That being said, Severino is unlikely to return for at least another month. However, it's encouraging that he is already throwing […]

Guillermo Heredia Continues Hot Stretch

Atlanta Braves outfielder Guillermo Heredia continued his hot performance at the plate during Thursday's win over the St. Louis Cardinals. He went 2-for-3 with a home run, double, and a walk during Thursday's 4-0 victory. Heredia is slashing .275/.360/.467 in 136 plate appearances this season. The Braves are going to keep playing Heredia until Cristian […]

Freddie Freeman Collects Two Hits

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman continued his hot streak at the plate during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Freeman is now 12-for-28 at the plate over the last week. His slash line is quickly increasing and fantasy managers need to take notice. It appears right now is the best time to try […]

Luis Rengifo Recalled, Aaron Slegers Optioned

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. The 24-year-old has only one hit at the MLB level this season. However, Rengifo is slashing .331/.402/.568 during his time with Salt Lake. It's unlikely that Rengifo does enough to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats. Possibly, he becomes a deep league […]

Alen Hanson Signs Deal With Mariners

Seattle Mariners infielder/outfielder Alen Hanson signs a minor league deal with the organization. The 28-year-old signed with Seattle last year, but didn't play due to the canceled season. He wasn't hitting well in the minors during the 2019 campaign and has struggled during his time at the MLB level. Fantasy managers can go ahead and […]

Vinny Nittoli Called Up Friday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Vinny Nittoli will be called up ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 30-year-old reliever will reach the big league level for the first time in his career. Throughout his career, Nittoli has pitched for a handful of different organizations and some independent ball as well. Nittoli has […]

Bryce Harper Hopeful To Be Ready By Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (back) expects to be back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He exited early during Tuesday's contest and didn't play Wednesday out of precaution. Harper mentioned that he could've played on Wednesday, but understood that the Phillies wanted to be cautious. Fantasy managers can […]

Collin McHugh Activated Off COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Collin McHugh has been activated off the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday. The veteran reliever was feeling sick on Wednesday and was placed on the COVID-19 list as a precaution. It sounds like he is feeling better now and will return for Thursday's matchup against the Seattle Mariners. McHugh has […]

Rays Acquire Mike Ford

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford has been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Ford smacked 12 home runs during his rookie year, but hasn't done much since then. Since the beginning of 2020, Ford is slashing .134/.250/.276 in a little over […]

Zac Gallen Activated, Starting Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He missed nearly five weeks of action due to a forearm strain. He'll be activated and start versus the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. It's worth noting Gallen didn't make a rehab start and only threw 46 pitches […]

Ketel Marte Out Of The Lineup Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine day off for Marte who collected two hits on Wednesday. Marte has been on fire with the bat this season and should be rostered in all fantasy formats. Pavin […]

Jordan Lyles Allows Four Homers In Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles surrendered four home runs in the loss to the Houston Astros on Wednesday. He went 4 1/3 innings, allowing five runs, seven hits, two walks, and struck out three. This is a shame after watching Lyles pitch fairly well during his last outing. He wasn't able to keep the […]

Freddie Freeman Continues Hot Streak

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has put together a lackluster year when you look at his batting line, but appears to be finally turning it around. He is 10-for-26 with three homers and seven RBI in his last six games. On Wednesday, Freeman went 2-for-4 with a homer and two walks in the loss […]

Dansby Swanson Blasts Three-Run Homer

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson smacked a three-run home run versus the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. This blast makes 11 home runs for Swanson on the year, which is quite odd for him. His career high is 17 home runs and he is already creeping up on that number in mid-June. Swanson also hit […]

Ian Anderson Rocked By Red Sox

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson struggled to get through four innings versus the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. He allowed five hits, four runs, one walk, and struck out five through four innings of work. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned despite a few rough outing lately. This was the third time in four starts […]

Byron Buxton Unable To Resume Baseball Activities

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) has not resumed his minor league rehab assignment. The hope was that he'd return on Wednesday after workouts on Monday and Tuesday. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli mentioned that Buxton likely won't return until he's able to run hard or sprint. Buxton has been sidelined since early May due to […]

Eugenio Suarez Sitting Out Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The slugging corner infielder will get a routine rest day. Suarez has been struggling at the plate throughout most of the season. He is still worth rostering in most formats because of his power potential, […]

Deven Marrero Returns To Majors

Miami Marlins infielder Deven Marrero will join the big league roster on Wednesday. The organization has decided to purchase Marrero's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville. He was hitting fairly well in the minors, but has never seen much success at the MLB level. Marrero has not played in the MLB since August of 2019, but will […]

Jeff Hoffman Nearing Rehab Assignment

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville next week. He has been on the injured list since late May due to a right shoulder impingement. It won't be shocking to see Hoffman need more than one rehab start before rejoining the Reds roster. He was […]

Collin McHugh Lands On COVID List

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Collin McHugh has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. That's a shame since McHugh has been fantastic out of the bullpen and as an opener for Tampa Bay this season. The organization has not given more information about when McHugh might return. In the meantime, Chris Mazza will rejoin […]

Ryan McMahon Not In The Lineup Wednesday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. This appears to be a routine day off for McMahon who collected three hits on Tuesday. Brendan Rodgers will cover second base versus lefty Blake Snell on Wednesday. The former top prospect is finally […]

Mike Moustakas Suffers Setback

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (heel) has suffered a setback while rehabbing in Triple-A. He began playing rehab games on Tuesday, but has been pulled off that due to renewed soreness. Moustakas has missed nearly a month due to a deep bruise in his heel. The organization was hopeful that they could get Moustakas back […]

Tommy Edman Remains Out Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Tommy Edman (abdominal) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. He was a late scratch on Tuesday and won't be in the lineup again here. Fantasy managers can consider Edman day-to-day at the moment. Manager Mike Shildt has played down the concern surrounding Edman's […]

Nolan Arenado Gets Rest Day

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (rest) will not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. This appears to be a routine day off for the superstar slugger who has been in a slump recently. Matt Carpenter will cover third base and bat cleanup on Wednesday. Sadly, Carpenter has been […]

Jason Castro Activated, Garrett Stubbs Optioned

Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro (Achilles) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He has been sidelined since late May due to left Achilles soreness. He was able to get through his rehab assignment without any issues and will return to the Astros now. Castro won't have great upside in fantasy formats […]

Anthony Rendon Exits Early Monday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (triceps) was unable to play all the way through Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears Rendon suffered a triceps injury while diving in the field. He exited the game shortly after that and the team is likely to reveal more information on Tuesday. It wouldn't be […]

Zack Littell To Serve As Opener Again

San Francisco Giants pitcher Zack Littell will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He threw a scoreless frame last Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. Sammy Long was impressive during his debut and this formula is likely something the Giants continue to use. Long appears to be an interesting streaming choice […]

Lance McCullers Jr. To Start On Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (shoulder) will rejoin the rotation versus the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. He allowed one run over four innings of work during his rehab start. McCullers has been sharp this season and should be rostered in most fantasy formats. However, it sounds like the plan is Jake Odorizzi follows […]

Luke Voit Continues Rehab Assignment On Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) will continue his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. The slugging first baseman played his first rehab game on Sunday and will stay with the organization throughout the week. Voit is working his way back from a Grade 2 oblique strain. The hope is that Voit […]
