Tyreek Hill Suffers Quad Injury

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quad) suffered a bruised quad during Tuesday's practice. Hill rode off the practice field on a cart after getting hit on Tuesday. However, this injury seems minors, so fantasy owners don't have anything to worry about right now. The Chiefs may have Hill sit out for a few […]

Shaun Anderson Has Start Pushed Back

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson was scheduled to make the start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. However, the Giants have decided to push back Anderson for now. Anderson's ERA now sits at 5.06 on the year, so a demotion to the bullpen could be happening. Dereck Rodriguez or Conner Menez could draw […]

Albert Pujols Won't Play Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The Angels are giving their veteran slugger a rest day here.

Justin Upton is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Willson Contreras Gets A Day Off Tuesday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs are giving their All-Star catcher a routine rest day here. Victor Caratini will draw the start behind the plate and bat sixth versus righty Adam Wainwright. Caratini could have some cheap DFS value […]

Nelson Cruz is Absent on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Cruz normally serves as the designated hitter for the Twins, but he won't be able to do that while the team is playing in Miami. He'll be stuck on the bench and likely just used […]

Yasmany Tomas is in the Lineup Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Yasmany Tomas is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Tomas was recalled on Friday after hitting .305 with 29 home runs and 80 runs batted in during his time in the minors. This is his first return to the major leagues since 2017. He'll bat eighth […]

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hip) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Laureano is reportedly day-to-day with a minor hip issue.

Tim Anderson Activated, Starting on Tuesday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Anderson has been sidelined a little over a month due to a right ankle sprain. Anderson is hitting .317/.342/.491 with 11 homers and 15 steals this season. He's been fantastic for fantasy owners, so they can feel safe […]

Matt Adams is Sitting on Tuesday

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It's unclear whether the foot issue is still bothering Adams or if manager Dave Martinez just wanted to give him a break. Regardless, Howie Kendrick will cover first base and bat fifth versus righty Julio […]

Blake Parker Signed by Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Blake Parker will likely make his team debut for his new club this week. Parker was designated for assignment by the Minnesota Twins last week. The veteran righty has a 4.21 ERA in 37 appearances with the Twins. He was a key piece to their pen to start the season, but […]

Marcell Ozuna to Begin Rehab Assignment Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (finger) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday. He was expected to start on Monday, but he'll get into game action Tuesday instead.

DJ LeMahieu Remains Out of the Lineup

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (groin) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This marks the third game in a row that LeMahieu has missed due to a minor groin issue. He reportedly tried to talk his way into the lineup, but it sounds like the team wants to give him […]

Zach Eflin Heads to the Bullpen

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin has been demoted to the bullpen on Tuesday. The Phillies acquired veteran lefty starter Jason Vargas from the New York Mets on Monday. Eflin had a strong start to the season, but has not seen much success lately. This move basically kills all fantasy value for Eflin. He won't […]

Tommy Pham Scratched on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (hand) has been scratched from the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. He's dealing with a right hand sprain, so he'll take one more day off to rest. The X-rays came back negative, so Pham should be fine in a few days. Nate Lowe will serve […]

Freddy Galvis Returns to the Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Freddy Galvis (back) returns to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Galvis was scratched from Monday's lineup due to lower back tightness. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second versus lefty Mike Montgomery. Galvis could be a cheap DFS option for this game, while […]

Bo Bichette Will Bat Leadoff Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette is back in the starting lineup for the second straight game. Bichette will bat leadoff and play shortstop versus lefty Mike Montgomery on Tuesday. Bichette recorded one hit during his MLB debut on Monday, but it appears he could see a lot of time batting first in Toronto. This […]

Marcus Stroman Scheduled to Start Saturday

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman is expected to make his team debut on Saturday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Stroman was traded from Toronto to the Mets in exchange for pitching prospects Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson on Sunday.

Cole Hamels Will Throw Bullpen Session Wednesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cole Hamels (oblique) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. Hamels could return to the Cubs' starting rotation after that, assuming everything goes well.

C.J. Cron is Ready for Rehab Assignment

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (thumb) has been cleared by the medical staff and is ready to begin a minor league rehab assignment.

Charlie Blackmon Will Avoid Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (back) is expected to avoid a trip to the injured list. Blackmon did not play on Monday or Tuesday due to back issues. However, the team believes the injury is just day-to-day, so Blackmon will be fine. Raimel Tapia will cover right field and bat seventh versus lefty Julio Urias […]

Brad Peacock is Making Progress

Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock (shoulder) felt good after throwing a bullpen session on Sunday. The team will likely have Peacock throw a few more sessions before advancing him to the next stage in his rehab program. If everything goes well, Peacock could return by the middle of August. It's unclear whether or not he'll […]

Max Scherzer Could Start on Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) has a chance to make his next scheduled start against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. Scherzer continues to be sidelined due to a mild strain of his rhomboid muscle. He was able to go through a cardio workout on Sunday, so that's a good sign. However, it doesn't […]

Kevin Kiermaier Expected to Return Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (thumb) is expected to return from the injured list when first eligible on Wednesday. Kiermaier played through his first rehab game on Saturday without any issues. It sounds like he'll be set to return in the middle of next week, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Guillermo Heredia will […]

James McCann Sits Out on Sunday

Chicago White Sox catcher James McCann (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. McCann has been a huge bright spot for the Sox this season. He'll receive a much-needed off day here, but should be back starting behind the plate next game. Welington Castillo will draw the start […]

Jose Abreu is Resting on Sunday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This will be a rare off day for the Cuban slugger, but he should be back in there next game. Eloy Jimenez will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth versus righty Kyle […]

Eddie Rosario is Absent on Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Rosario is getting a normal rest day here, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Marwin Gonzalez will bat sixth and play left field versus righty Dylan Covey. Gonzalez isn't much of […]

Victor Robles Gets the Day Off

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Robles will get a routine day off here, so no injuries to worry about. Gerardo Parra will bat seventh and play center field versus righty Walker Buehler. Parra has been a solid option off the […]

Charlie Blackmon Sits Out Against Lefty

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This appears to be a routine day off for Blackmon against the left-handed starter. Garrett Hampson will cover center field and bat ninth versus lefty Alex Wood. Hampson doesn't have much upside with the bat, and […]

Randal Grichuk Gets Day Off Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be a routine day off for Grichuk, so he should be back in there soon. Eric Sogard will bat leadoff and cover right field versus righty Yonny Chirinos. Sogard has been […]
