Bucky Irving Gets Involved On Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was once again heavily involved in the offense during Friday's preseason finale against the Miami Dolphins. The rookie back saw six carries for 26 yards while hauling in his lone target for five yards in the win. Irving has been competing with Sean Tucker for the backup role […]

Jalen McMillan Catches Lone Target

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan has made a strong case for the No. 3 role on this offense. The rookie wideout has been battling with Trey Palmer for the third wideout spot behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. McMillan was on the field for all the first-team snaps during Friday's preseason finale against […]

Miguel Rojas Returns To The Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran infielder is making his return after being scratched from Wednesday's game due to a left hamstring issue. The 35-year-old will cover shortstop and bat seventh versus left-hander Tyler Alexander on Friday. […]

Jordan Montgomery Headed To Bullpen

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery will shift to the bullpen going forward. The D-Backs made Montgomery the odd man out with six healthy starters right now. The left-hander has been awful to the tune of a 6.44 ERA with a 67/36 K/BB ratio across 19 starts this season. Before this season, Montgomery had a […]

Max Muncy Taking A Seat Versus Southpaw

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It's uncertain if Muncy is sitting because of a left-hander being on the mound or if this is a routine rest day. Obviously, Muncy will have limited fantasy value if he continues to […]

Victor Robles Remains Out On Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hip) remains absent from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Robles continues to sit out after exiting early from Tuesday's contest. The 27-year-old crashed into the center field wall and was forced to exit that contest. The organization continues to consider Robles as day-to-day, […]

Yordan Alvarez Pulled From Friday's Lineup

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Alvarez is dealing with neck discomfort, so it sounds like a day-to-day type of issue. Fantasy managers should make sure to check their lineups and get Alvarez out on Friday. Alex Bregman will […]

Tyler O'Neill Scratched On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The organization said that O'Neill was pulled from the lineup due to finger inflammation. It sounds like a minor issue, so fantasy managers should consider O'Neill as day-to-day. In his place, Rob Refsnyder […]

DJ Chark Misses Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (undisclosed) remained on the sideline during Thursday's practice. The veteran wideout was banged up during Monday's practice. Chark has been on the sideline since then as he continues to nurse what is believed to be a hip injury. However, the Chargers haven't commented much on Chark or the […]

Isiah Pacheco Expected To Sit During Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is unlikely to play during Thursday's preseason finale against the Chicago Bears. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned as the Chiefs are expected to bench most of their offensive starters. Pacheco is undoubtedly the lead back in Kansas City after having back-to-back strong campaigns to begin his career. That […]

Noah Fant Likely To Be Ready For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant is expected to be ready to play in the Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Fant is working his way back from an undisclosed injury and hasn't been on the practice field for a few days. Head coach Mike Macdonald doesn't appear concerned about this being a long […]

Logan Thomas Re-Signs With 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers have decided to bring back tight end Logan Thomas on Thursday. The veteran tight end was cut by the organization two weeks ago. Thomas was dealing with an injury in camp, but he appears to be healthy now. The 33-year-old should be a decent option alongside George Kittle at the tight […]

Wyatt Langford Comes Up With Clutch Hit

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The rookie outfielder smacked a line-drive walk-off single against right-hander David Bedner to break the scoreless tie. Langford also singled and stolen a base earlier in the contest. The 22-year-old was slow out of the gate, but […]

Francisco Lindor Connects On 25th Homer

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor continued his hot second half of the season during Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 30-year-old went deep in the third inning off southpaw Cole Irvin for his 25th home run of the season. Lindor has now hit 25 long balls or more in six of the last […]

Alex Bregman Goes Yard In Return

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman made his return to the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. Bregman showed no signs of rust following a five-game absence due to elbow inflammation. He made some noise early on by taking starting pitcher Cooper Criswell deep in the first inning. It was his lone […]

Justin Verlander Looks Sharp In Return

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander made his return to the mound against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The 41-year-old looked sharp on the mound considering he has been sidelined the last two and a half months due to a neck issue. Verlander struck out six batters while allowing four hits and two runs […]

Jesse Winker Comes Up Clutch

New York Mets outfielder Jesse Winker was called upon to come off the bench in the ninth inning of Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 30-year-old delivered for his team as Winker blasted a pinch-hit game-winning solo home run off right-hander Seranthony Dominguez. This blasted marked Winker's 12th homer of the season and his […]

Javier Baez Takes A Seat On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old made his return to Wrigley Field on Tuesday. The fans gave Baez a warm welcome, but that didn't help him as he went hitless with four strikeouts. That performance should shock no one considering […]

Ha-Seong Kim Heads To Injured List

San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 19. There is some good news, though, as Padres manager Mike Shildt said Kim isn't likely to require much longer than a minimum stay on the injured list. Kim injured his right shoulder while diving back to […]

Ranger Suarez To Start On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (back) is scheduled to come off the injured list on Saturday. The left-hander will take the ball against the Kansas City Royals after missing a few weeks due to lower-back soreness. The 28-year-old is in the middle of a breakout campaign, so his return is a welcomed sight for […]

Patrick Bailey Remains Out

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey (side) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This news isn't shocking considering Bailey was scratched ahead of Monday's contest due to right side tightness. The organization is considering it a minor injury, so for now fantasy managers can list Bailey […]

Jacob Wilson Remains Without Timetable

Oakland Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is still working his way back from an injury he suffered during his MLB debut. The good news is that Wilson has started playing rehab games at Triple-A Las Vegas. The team's top prospect is expected to alternate between shortstop and designated hitter during his rehab assignment. A's […]

Clay Holmes Likely To Remain Closer

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes is expected to remain the team's primary closer going forward. This comes after Holmes blew his 10th save of the season during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Manager Aaron Boone sounds committed to Holmes as a high-leverage option. However, Boone did mention that he'd be open to […]

Ha-Seong Kim To Miss Another Game

San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) remains absent from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This is a bit concerning after Kim was removed from Sunday's game after suffering a right shoulder injury while diving back into first base. The organization said on Monday that they're still evaluating Kim's […]

Isaac Paredes Returns To The Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Isaac Paredes (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This is good news for both fantasy managers and the Cubbies after Paredes missed Sunday's game due to right shoulder discomfort. He was able to pinch-hit during that contest, so it appears to be […]

Jacob deGrom To Make Four Rehab Starts

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is expected to make four minor-league rehab starts before coming off the injured list in the middle of September, according to manager Bruce Bochy. The right-hander hasn't pitched all season long while he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery. The plan is for deGrom […]

Ha-Seong Kim Absent On Monday

San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This comes a day after Kim suffered a right-shoulder injury while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt during Sunday's contest. Kim underwent an MRI on Monday, but the results of those tests […]

Pete Fairbanks Officially Placed On Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday. As expected, Fairbanks will head to the shelf after suffering a right lat strain during Sunday's game. The expectation is that the Rays will go closer-by-committee while Fairbanks is out. The list is long for possible closing […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Heads To Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. It sounds like Hayes has been dealing with a lingering back issues all season long. That could explain his regression on both offense and defensively this season. Hayes will attempt to return this season, but surgery hasn't been […]

Thairo Estrada Activated On Monday

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada (wrist) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Estrada appears ready to play again after being sidelined since late July due to a sprained wrist. He'll cover second base and bat eighth against right-hander Jonathan Cannon on Monday. Despite his struggles it doesn't look like Estrada […]
