New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) will have his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A. He tossed two scoreless appearances out of his three outings in Class-A. However, one of them he did allow five earned runs, which is alarming. Despite that, the Mets are in desperate need of arms out of the bullpen. […]

Texas Rangers pitcher Taylor Hearn will draw the start on the mound versus the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. This is normally Jordan Lyles turn in the rotation, but he'll get some extra rest.

Adolis Garcia Collects Two Hits
Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia was one of the few bright spots for this team during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Garcia went 2-for-2 with a home run and a double as Texas lost their sixth game in a row. On Friday, Garcia snapped his 17-game home run drought and now is back to […]

Joey Gallo Smacks Homer On Sunday
Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo has not put together the type of stat line that fantasy managers were hopeful to get from him. However, he continues hitting absolute moon shots, which is something positive to write about. On Sunday, Gallo went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and a one strikeout in the loss […]

Dane Dunning Hit Around By Twins
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning did not look like himself during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Dunning went four innings, allowing a career-high 10 hits, while surrendering three earned runs. It's also worth noting that he walked two batters and struck out five over the course of his outing on Sunday. Despite this […]

Aaron Sanchez Transferred To 60-Day Injured List
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (bicep) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. This clears room on the 40-man roster for John Brebbia to return from injury. Sanchez has been sidelined since early May due to bicep tendinitis. Despite being transferred, Sanchez is eligible to return in early July. It's […]

John Brebbia Activated Sunday
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher John Brebbia (elbow) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Sunday. He has been sidelined since last June after he underwent Tommy John surgery. Last offseason, the Cardinals non-tendered Brebbia, but the Giants were willing to take a chance on him. Since 2017, Brebbia has a 3.14 ERA […]

Austin Gomber Lands On Injured List
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He exited early during Saturday's start due to left forearm tightness. Unsurprisingly, Gomber will head to the injured list and does not have a timetable attached. Hopefully, Gomber won't miss more than the minimal 10 days, but fantasy managers are […]

George Springer Likely To Drop In Batting Order
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quad) is nearing a return and is currently rehabbing in Triple-A Buffalo. Springer has been banged up all season long and has taken just 17 plate appearances with Toronto.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) is expected to travel with the organization for their upcoming road trip. The 34-year-old is currently on the 10-day injured list while dealing with right elbow inflammation.

Kyle Tucker To Be Activated Monday
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) is expected to return for Monday's series against the Baltimore Orioles. He has been sidelined due to a stomach bug that has reportedly made him lose 10 pounds. Despite that, it sounds like Tucker will be able to get back on the field for Monday's contest. He'll sit out […]

Nick Ramirez, Mason Thompson Recalled Sunday
San Diego Padres relief pitchers Nick Ramirez and Mason Thompson have been recalled from the minors on Sunday.

Sam Howard Placed On Injured List
Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Sam Howard (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This won't be a huge loss for Pittsburgh, but Howard did see significant time out of the Pirates bullpen. He's posting a 4.44 ERA with 35 strikeouts through 26.3 innings pitched this season. Austin Davis will take over his spot […]

Nick Castellanos Resting On Sunday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. This is not surprising after seeing Castellanos hitting .160 on this current road trip. Besides that, Castellanos has been unstoppable at the plate and needs to remain rostered in every fantasy format. This is a […]

Zach Thompson To Start Versus Cubs On Sunday
Miami Marlins pitcher Zach Thompson will draw the start for Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs. He has pitched well during his last two outings, but this won't be an easy assignment. Wrigley Field can quickly turn into a hitter-friendly park, which is always frustrating for fantasy managers. The Cubs seem to always have […]

Miguel Diaz Starting On Saturday
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Miguel Diaz will be the opener for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It sounds like it's going to be a bullpen day for the Padres. Diaz has been fantastic out of the bullpen, posting a 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 23/10 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings. It's uncertain […]

Adalberto Mondesi Out Of The Lineup Saturday
Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He has played in two straight games and the team wants to be cautious since Mondesi recently came off the injured list. Mondesi has been on fire with the bat, so fantasy managers will […]

Stephen Strasburg Plays Catch Saturday
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) was able to play catch on Saturday. It's encouraging to see Strasburg throwing over the last week or so, but he's not exactly close to returning.

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.

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 […]
