Justin Turner Returns To The Lineup

Seattle Mariners corner infielder Justin Turner (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The 39-year-old was removed from Tuesday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative for any fractures. Turner will play first base and bat cleanup versus […]

Nick Pivetta To Be Skipped

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta is reportedly going to be skipped in the rotation next time around. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry as it doesn't sound like it's injury related. Instead, the Red Sox are skipping Pivetta in the rotation for rest purposes. The right-hander saw a drop in velocity during his […]

Tyler O'Neill Placed On Injured List

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (calf, illness) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. O'Neill has been out since Friday due to an illness but he appears to have developed an infection in his lower calf. The Red Sox are going to play it safe and give him a few weeks off to […]

Miguel Rojas Activated And Playing On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 35-year-old has been out since late July due to forearm tightness. He played in one rehab game before making his return to the Dodgers roster. He figures to see regular playing time until Mookie Betts (hand) is […]

J.D. Martinez Getting A Breather

New York Mets outfielder J.D. Martinez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This appears to be a regular rest day for the 36-year-old slugger. In his absence, Jesse Winker will bat third and serve as the designated hitter versus right-hander Ryan Feltner. This is a favorable spot […]

Oneil Cruz Remains Out On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. This marks the second game in a row that Cruz has missed due to a lingering illness. The hope is that this is a minor issue, so for now fantasy managers should consider Cruz […]

Charlie Blackmon Returning On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (eye) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The veteran slugger was forced to miss two games due to a left eye bruise he suffered on Friday. Luckily, it was a minor issue that only forced him to miss a few games. […]

Luis Rengifo To Undergo Wrist Surgery

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (wrist) is set to miss the rest of the regular season after undergoing wrist surgery on Tuesday. This is a shame considering Rengifo was in the middle of a breakout campaign. He was batting .300 with six home runs and a career-high 24 stolen bases in 78 games. However, […]

Joe Musgrove Likely To Return This Weekend

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) has a good chance at returning to the mound this weekend. Manager Mike Shildt told reporters there's a high probability of Musgrove pitching against the Miami Marlins. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since late May due to a lingering elbow issue. This has basically been a lost […]

Tyler Mahle To Make Season Debut On Tuesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander is set to make his season debut against the Houston Astros on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has been sidelined all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Mahle has a solid track record and is a much-needed […]

Brooks Lee Back In The Lineup

Minnesota Twins infielder Brooks Lee (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Lee will make his return to the field after missing two games due to right shoulder soreness. The rookie infielder has 23 hits with two home runs and 14 RBI since receiving the call to […]

Seiya Suzuki Returning On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Suzuki will make his way back into the lineup after he was forced to sit out of Monday's contest due to neck stiffness. It sounds like Suzuki is already over the issue, which is great […]

Byron Buxton Remains Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Buxton was forced to exit early on Sunday and will now miss his second game in a row due to back tightness. This doesn't seem to be the kind of issue that would require a […]

Gavin Sheets Sitting Versus Southpaw

Chicago White Sox outfielder Gavin Sheets is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Unsurprisingly, the White Sox will play matchups here against a left-handed starting pitcher. Nick Senzel will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth versus JP Sears on Monday. Senzel has been quiet this season […]

Lawrence Butler Getting A Breather

Oakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Butler will receive a much-needed day off after playing in every game since the All-Star break. The left-handed slugger was hitting everything in sight towards the end of July. Since then, Butler has cooled off […]

Cody Bellinger To Remain As Designated Hitter

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (finger) is expected to remain as the designated hitter for the time being. The left-handed slugger returned from a fractured index finger last week. Since then, Bellinger is 8-for-24 with two homers, so it doesn't appear that the injury is impacting his swing. However, the Cubs are keeping Bellinger at […]

Ian Happ Returning On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This is good news after Happ was scratched ahead of Sunday's contest due to shoulder soreness. He'll bat leadoff and play in left field versus right-hander David Festa on Monday. Normally, Mike Tauchman would head […]

Seiya Suzuki Sitting Out On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Manager Craig Counsell expects Suzuki to return on Tuesday, but will sit out here due to neck stiffness. In the meantime, Mike Tauchman will cover right field and bat fifth versus right-hander David Festa. Fantasy […]

Tyler O'Neill Remains Out Of The Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) is out of the starting lineup for the third straight game. The 29-year-old continues to deal with a lingering illness that kept him sidelined over the weekend. However, manager Alex Cora mentioned that O'Neill is available off the bench for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. That […]

Byron Buxton Removed Early On Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was removed early during Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The speedy outfielder collided into the wall making an incredible catch to end the sixth inning. After that, Buxton was removed from the game but it was likely for precautionary reasons. The Twins were already running away with the […]

A.J. Puk Earns Save On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher A.J. Puk was called upon to hold a one-run lead versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Originally, Ryan Thompson started the ninth inning but got into trouble which forced manager Torey Lovullo to change pitchers. Puk got the final two outs of the game to earn himself his second save of […]

Ian Happ Scratched On Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (shoulder) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The switch-hitter injured his shoulder while running into the wall during Saturday's game. It's believed to be a minor issue that will hopefully only force Happ to miss one game. In his absence, […]

Wilyer Abreu Hits A Pair Of Homers

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu came ready to play during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Abreu has been hot with the bat recently and that continued during Sunday's contest. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in the 7-2 victory. Abreu has three long balls during the first […]

Zack Wheeler Looks Stellar On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler was nearly unhittable on the mound during Sunday's outing against the Seattle Mariners. Wheeler piled up nine strikeouts while allowing only two hits over eight scoreless innings in the win. The 34-year-old retired the final 15 batters he faced during this outing. Wheeler has been hard to hit all […]

Bryce Harper Smacks Home Run In Win

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper put together a solid performance at the plate during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The superstar slugger connected on a 391-foot two-run home run off Tayler Saucedo in the eighth inning. He finished the day 3-for-4 with two RBI in the win. Harper was in an awful slump at […]

Rashid Shaheed Misses Another Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hamstring) sat out his second straight practice on Sunday. The assumption was that Shaheed would return on Sunday after sitting out on Saturday for a rest day. Possibly, Shaheed is dealing with more serious of an issue then first reported. Once healthy, Shaheed is expected to fill the […]

Puka Nacua Exits Practice Early

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's practice session. The second-year wideout reportedly left with a knee injury after about an hour into drills. Nacua was seen with a bag of ice wrapped around his right knee. Head coach Sean McVay said he wasn't sure what happened […]

Dawson Knox Sitting Out On Sunday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (groin, rest) didn't suit up for Sunday's practice session. Head coach Sean McDermott said that this was a rest day for the veteran tight end. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as Knox has been dealing with a groin issue as well. Knox is looking for […]

Xavier Legette Considered As Day-To-Day

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (leg) was forced to exit early during practice on Sunday. The 23-year-old appears to have suffered a lower leg injury, but head coach Dave Canales didn't seem too concerned. The organization had Legette undergo further testing which came back as negative for any fractures. That being said, Legette should […]

Brandon Aiyuk Could Be Traded

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could be on the move before the regular season begins. The stud wideout has reported to training camp but continues to sit out while he awaits a new contract. It doesn't sound like the two sides are too close on a new deal which could mean the 49ers […]
