Caratini has been […]

Wilmer Font Named Opener for Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Wilmer Font has been named the opener for Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. Right-hander Trent Thornton will follow him out of the bullpen and pitch a bulk of the innings. Font has a 2.65 ERA and 46/8 K/BB ratio over 34 innings this season with the Jays. It's […]

Travis Kelce Should Succeed in Tough Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce came to play in the Week 2 victory over the Oakland Raiders. Kelce caught seven of his nine targets for 107 yards and one touchdown. The Chiefs offense doesn't seem to ever slow down and that should be the case again in Week 3. The Baltimore Ravens Defense […]

Demarcus Robinson Should Regress in Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had a huge game versus the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. He caught all six of his targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. Robinson was one of the most popular pickups throughout the week, but fantasy owners should get ready for disappointment. Robinson will […]

Mecole Hardman Looks to Maintain WR2 Upside

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman was able to make some noise for the team in the victory over the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. Hardman caught four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in that contest. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) remains sidelined, so Hardman will continue to have decent fantasy value. Demarcus Robinson […]

Sammy Watkins Hopes to Rebound in Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins saw a team-high 13 targets in the victory over the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. However, Watkins hauled in just six of those balls for 49 yards and didn't find the end zone. It was a disappointing game for fantasy owners as Watkins was expected to be much […]

Darwin Thompson Should See Snaps in Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson should be more involved in the running game for Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Lead back Damien Williams (knee) has been ruled out for this one. Veteran running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is going to see a majority of the snaps at running back. However, McCoy does […]

LeSean McCoy is Ready for Heavier Workload

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy should be looking at a heavier workload for Sunday's Week 3 contest versus the Baltimore Ravens. Lead back Damien Williams (knee) has already been ruled out for this one. McCoy has been battling an ankle issue, so the Chiefs will be cautious about that. Darwin Thompson is going […]

Patrick Mahomes is Elite QB1 Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown seven touchdowns without any interceptions through two games this season. He has 821 passing yards and should easily jump into the 1,000 mark on Sunday. Mahomes will go up against the Baltimore Ravens Defense that was carved up by rookie quarterback Kyler Murray last week. Mahomes should […]

Javier Baez is Available Off the Bench

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) is unable to hit, but can still contribute to the team during Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Baez has a hairline fracture in his thumb, and can't grip the bat or wear a glove. However, his legs and fine and he's available to pinch run for this […]

Anthony Rizzo Will Bat Leadoff Saturday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Rizzo will bat leadoff and play first base versus righty Dakota Hudson. The Cubs seem to have good luck when Rizzo is batting first for them. Hudson has been pitching well this season posting a 3.35 […]

Max Muncy Tweaks Quad on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (quad) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Muncy tweaked his quad in the seventh inning of Friday's game versus the Rockies. He returned last week from a wrist injury, so the Dodgers don't need him going down again. The Dodgers believe the quad […]

Kolten Wong Remains Out of the Lineup Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Wong injured his left hamstring during Thursday's game and didn't play on Friday. He underwent an MRI, but the team hasn't revealed the results of the test. The Cardinals will likely be cautious with […]

Justin Smoak Gets Day Off on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Smoak will get a routine day off here to rest, but he's having a down year with the bat anyway. Brandon Drury will cover first base and bat seventh versus lefty James Paxton. […]

Willson Contreras is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Contreras will get a day off here after playing in five straight games. Victor Caratini will draw the start at catcher and bat sixth versus righty Dakota Hudson. Caratini doesn't have much upside in terms […]

Gleyber Torres Will Undergo MRI

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (leg) will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his leg injury. Torres left Friday's game after slipping and injuring his leg on a defensive play. Torres is considered day-to-day at the moment, so more information should be known after the MRI.

Bo Bichette Remains Out of the Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (head) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Bichette suffered a concussion after being hit in the helmet on Thursday. He is under the league's concussion protocol and is considered day-to-day. Richard Urena will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus lefty James […]

Wil Myers Gets the Night Off

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Myers was dealing with an arm issue, but returned to the lineup on Wednesday. This appears to be a routine day off, so hopefully Myers is not injured anymore. Nick Martini will bat second and […]

Tim Locastro Covers Center Field on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Locastro (back) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ketel Marte (back) has been shut down for the rest of the 2019 season. That means Locastro could be seeing a lot of playing time in the outfield down the stretch. Locastro will bat leadoff and […]

Max Kepler is Out Again on Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Kepler has not started in a game since September 14 due to shoulder soreness. The team hasn't updated his status since then, so it's unclear what kind of progress he's making. Ryan LaMarre will bat […]

George Springer Gets the Night Off Friday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Springer will get a routine rest day here, but should be back in the lineup next game. Jack Marisnick will cover center field and bat ninth versus righty Jaime Barria. Marisnick doesn't have much upside […]

Starling Marte, Josh Bell Remain Out

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) and first baseman Josh Bell (groin) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Both players continue to deal with nagging injuries that may sideline them for the rest of the regular season. The Pirates aren't playing for much, and will likely wait until […]

Jean Segura Scratched on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Friday against the Cleveland Indians. He left Thursday's game due to an hamstring issue, but was plugged into the lineup on Friday. However, Segura is dealing with an ankle issue now and didn't feel right during batting practice. Scott Kingery will […]

Ketel Marte Shut Down for the Season

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (back) is being shut down for the rest of the 2019 season, according to Steve Gilbert. Marte is suffering from a stress reaction in his lower back.

Jean Segura Will Play Against Indians Friday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Segura is normally a reliable option at the […]

Aaron Judge is Back in the Lineup Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge jammed his shoulder while diving for a ball during Wednesday's game. He missed Thursday's contest, but is feeling well enough to play on Friday.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This marks the first game that Betts has played in over a week due to a left foot issue. Betts will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter against righty Charlie Morton. Betts is […]
