Luke Raley Returns On Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder/first baseman Luke Raley (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Victor Robles Remains Out On Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (finger) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The speedy outfielder will miss his second game in a row due to a bruised right finger. He suffered the injury during Saturday's game, but will hopefully only need a few days off to […]

Brenton Doyle Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (leg) has been scratched ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. The team has decided to pull Doyle from the game due to right leg soreness. For now, Doyle is considered as day-to-day, so it looks like he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. In the meantime, Jake […]

Ryan Jeffers Retreats To The Bench

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers will head to the bench ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Jeffers returned to the lineup on Sunday after leaving Friday's game due to a right hand injury. It's uncertain if Jeffers suffered a setback or if he's just getting a rest day on Monday. Regardless, Christian Vazquez […]

Sean Murphy Heads To The Bench

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a routine rest day for Murphy who has started in six of the last seven games. It's worth noting that fellow catcher Travis d'Arnaud returned from the injured list over the weekend. […]

Michael Harris II Remains Out On Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This isn't too shocking, considering Harris was forced to exit early during Sunday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. Luckily, it appears Harris has avoided any fractures and should be […]

Jacob Lopez Fantastic In No-Decision

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jacob Lopez was tasked with taking the ball against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. The 26-year-old was called upon to make a spot start against one of the best offensive units in the league. Despite that, Lopez held his own as he allowed just one run on two hits over […]

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill came up clutch for his team during Sunday's game against the New York Mets. The rookie slugger saved his lone hit of the game for the ninth inning.

Michael A. Taylor Placed On Waivers

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Michael A. Taylor has been placed on outright waivers by the organization. This comes after Taylor went 1-for-3 during Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Yu Darvish Tosses Simulated Game

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (groin) took the mound for a simulated game on Sunday. The right-hander reportedly looked good as he threw 54 pitches and got 13 outs along the way.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. It was already announced that Yamamoto was going to start on Wednesday, but the location was unknown until now. The 26-year-old is only expected to work two innings during his first outing. It sounds […]

Ricky Pearsall To Practice On Monday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (shoulder) is set to return to practice on Monday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

However, there is still plenty of time for Pearsall to get ready to play before […]

Josh Downs Uncertain For Season Opener

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (ankle) is uncertain to be available for the season opener, according to head coach Shane Steichen.

Denver Broncos defensive back Damarri Mathis (ankle) was removed early during Sunday's preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals.

New Orleans Saints kicker Charlie Smyth (groin) didn't suit up during Sunday's preseason contest against the Tennessee Titans. The rookie kicker has been dealing with an ongoing groin issue since Friday. Head coach Dennis Allen said that the team wanted to play it safe and hold Smyth out of this game. In his absence, Blake […]

Damiere Byrd Released By Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Damiere Byrd has been released by the organization on Sunday. The veteran latched onto the Bills in August after being cut by the Washington Commanders.

Paul Goldschmidt Takes A Seat

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

[…]

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (finger) will move over from the hot corner to designated hitter ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.

Daulton Varsho, Spencer Horwitz Sitting Versus Southpaw

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho and first baseman Spencer Horwitz will head to the bench ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Fantasy managers don't need to worry about an injury as these moves appear to be matchup related. Varsho has a nine-game hit streak that will be held on hold unless […]

Anthony Rendon Taking A Seat On Sunday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The oft-injured infielder appears to be getting a routine rest day here. Rendon is having a down year at the plate, but he does have two hits in his last three games. The […]

Frank Gore Jr. Getting X-Rays

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore Jr. (knee) is scheduled to undergo X-rays after suffering an injury during Saturday's preseason finale.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) didn't return for the second half of Saturday's preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills.

Owen Wright Carted Off The Field

Baltimore Ravens running back Owen Wright (foot) was carted off the field during Saturday's preseason finale against the Green Bay Packers.
