Byron Buxton Suffers Setback

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (shoulder) was getting close to a rehab assignment but began feeling discomfort in his shoulder. He took batting practice on Sunday and Monday, but afterwards the shoulder discomfort returned. Buxton was expected to return on Sept. 1, but it's unclear when he'll be ready now. Fantasy owners have little reason […]

David Price Expected to Return This Weekend

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) is expected to rejoin the starting rotation this weekend. He threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and said that he felt ready to pitch.

Mike Yastrzemski is Back in the Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Kevin Kiermaier Remains Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. Kiermaier ran into the wall on Sunday, so that could be why he's feeling discomfort. It sounds like a day-to-day injury, so Kiermaier shouldn't be out of the lineup for too long. Avisail Garcia will […]

Scooter Gennett Released by Giants

San Francisco Giants second baseman Scooter Gennett has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Gennett is hitting .226/.245/.323 this season and hasn't shown much promise with the bat. He was sidelined by injuries to begin the season and then just never seemed right once he came back. Mauricio Dubon has been recalled and is […]

Patrick Mahomes Hasn't Missed A Beat

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to play well in the preseason. Mahomes has completed 14-of-19 passing attempts for 203 yards and a touchdown through three preseason games. He was an elite fantasy option last year, so it seemed unlikely that he could be that good again. However, Mahomes might actually be super human […]

Joc Pederson is Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Pederson will get a regular day off here against the left-handed starter. Kike Hernandez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus lefty Eric Lauer. Hernandez is a decent cheap DFS […]

Orlando Arcia Gets Day Off Monday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine day off for Arcia, so he should be back in there next game. Cory Spangenberg will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Adam Wainwright. Spangenberg […]

Rougned Odor Could Be Benched Soon

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has been awful with the bat and could be on his last chance with the team. Odor is hitting .197 with 21 home runs and 67 RBI this season with the Rangers. The team has tried to help Odor make adjustments, but nothing seems to help. Danny Santana and […]

Miguel Cabrera is Sitting Out on Sunday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

George Springer is Out on Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Springer will get a rare rest day here, so no injury or anything to worry about. Jake Marisnick will draw the start in center field and bat ninth versus righty Jaime Barria. Marisnick doesn't have […]

Nick Senzel Still Out Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (thumb) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Senzel will sit out his second straight game, and he's been dealing with a sore right thumb. He's been in an awful slump lately as well, so the Reds are giving him some time to rest. […]

Maikel Franco is Starting at Third Base

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. Franco was sent to the minors earlier this month, but was recalled with Bryce Harper (paternity) sidelined. Franco will get a chance here to do something with the bat against the struggling pitcher. He'll bat eighth and […]

Robbie Ray Activated, Starting on Sunday

Arizona Diamondback starting pitcher Robbie Ray (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Ray missed the minimum amount of games due to back spasms.

Avisail Garcia Activated on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Garcia missed the minimum 10 days due to a right oblique strain, but is back in the lineup here. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Dylan Bundy. Garcia is a decent cheap DFS option for […]

Jose Ramirez Placed on Injured List

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Ramirez suffered a fractured hamate bone in his right hand during a swing on Saturday. He is scheduled to have surgery on Monday, so the Indians will have a better timetable after that. Ramirez is likely done for […]

Kolten Wong Sits Out on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (toe) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Wong exited early on Saturday after fouling a ball off his right toe. Luckily, he avoided any major injury, so he'll only be sidelined a few days. Tommy Edman will draw the start at […]

Edwin Diaz is Likely Out a Few Days

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz (shoulder) is going to be sidelined a few days, but won't be placed on the injured list. Diaz was removed during his appearance on Saturday due to right trapezius tightness. The team is unsure how long Diaz is going to be sidelined. Seth Lugo is going to be […]

Marcus Stroman Expected to Start on Tuesday

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (hamstring) is expected to make his next scheduled start, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Stroman exited early during his last start due to left hamstring tightness. However, the Mets believe he'll be fine and he's expected to make his next start versus the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Stroman […]

Anthony Rizzo is Sidelined on Sunday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Rizzo left early during Sunday's game due to mid-back tightness. The Cubs are going to give him a day off to rest, but he should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Ian Happ will […]

Antonio Senzatela to Start on Sunday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela has been recalled to draw the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Rockies rotation is banged up with Kyle Freeland (groin) and Jon Gray (foot) both sidelined. Senzatela has a 6.29 ERA over 18 starts with Colorado this season. He's not a reliable fantasy option right […]

Pablo Lopez Will Rejoin Rotation Monday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to rejoin the starting rotation versus the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Lopez hasn't pitched since mid-June due to a shoulder injury. Caleb Smith will have his start pushed back until Tuesday, so Lopez can start on Monday. Lopez was fairly solid before the injury, so he's […]

Curt Casali Returns from Injured List

Cincinnati Reds catcher Curt Casali (knee, hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. He missed about a month of action due to nagging hamstring and knee issues. He's hitting .253 with six home runs and 24 RBI this season with the Reds. He's been solid for them, so it wouldn't be […]

Deon Yelder Suffers Ankle Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Deon Yelder (ankle) is likely going to be sidelined for the rest of the preseason. He suffered an ankle injury, so the Chiefs are likely going to be cautious here. He was expected to be the No. 2 tight end behind Travis Kelce, but his status for Week 1 is […]

Nicholas Castellanos is Great Option for Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Nicholas Castellanos is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Castellanos has been hitting a home run just about every single night it seems since he joined the Cubs. He'll bat second and play right field versus righty Joe Ross. Castellanos has been carrying the Cubs' offense at […]

Howie Kendrick is At First Base on Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Howie Kendrick will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Kendrick has been splitting time with Matt Adams, but he's hitting well enough to start. Kendrick is hitting .325/.376/.558 with 14 homers and 54 RBI this season. He'll bat fifth and play first base versus lefty […]

Joe Ross Will Start on Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (leg) will draw the start against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Ross suffered a leg injury last start, but appears to be fine. He was able to get through a bullpen session fine on Thursday. Ross has allowed just one run in his last four starts. The Cubs have […]

Darwin Thompson is Getting Goal-Line Work

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson is reportedly getting goal-line work with the first-team offense. It appears at this point that Thompson has passed Carlos Hyde on the depth chart. Damien Williams, Darrel Williams and Thompson are expected to be the backs for Week 1. Hyde doesn't play special teams or really offer the Chiefs […]

Trevor Story is Resting on Friday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Story will get a rare off day in this one, but should be back in the lineup for next game. Garrett Hampson will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Jack Flaherty. Hampson doesn't have […]
