Jean Segura Headed to Injured List
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The move is retroactive to Wednesday since Segura's last game was on Tuesday. Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the injured list as well, so the Phillies are thin at shortstop. Phil Gosselin will bat seventh and play shortstop against […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoScott Kingery Lands on Injured List
Philadelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Kingery suffered a right hamstring strain during Friday's contest. Kingery had an MRI on Saturday, but the results have not been announced yet. He's likely going to miss a few weeks which is a big blow to fantasy owners since Kingery […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoMatt Shoemaker Exits Early on Saturday
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker (knee) exits early during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Shoemaker needed help getting off the field after injuring his left knee during a rundown. He was off to a fantastic start, so this is frustrating news for fantasy owners. It's unclear if Shoemaker will miss any time, […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoStarling Marte Placed on Injured List
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (abdominal) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Marte crashed into shortstop Erik Gonzalez during Friday's game and suffered an abdominal contusion. Marte has struggled at the plate this season, so maybe some time off will help him. It's unclear how long Marte will be out, but this seems […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoBrock Holt Suffers Setback
Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) has suffered a setback during his rehab assignment. Holt is suffering from a scratched cornea, but apparently his new contact lens are not effective. The Sox could really use Holt right now with the team banged up, but it appears they will have to wait a little longer.
Andy Webb 6 years agoJordan Lyles Expected to Make Next Start
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hand) is expected to make his next start following a hand injury he suffered on Friday. Lyles was hit with a comebacker during Friday's contest, but it appears to be a minor contusion. He was able to play catch on Saturday and should be fine for his next start. […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoAaron Judge Will Undergo MRI
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) will undergo an MRI after injuring himself on a swing during Saturday's game. Judge was pulled from Saturday's contest due to what's being called a left oblique injury. It would be surprising if Judge doesn't land on the injured list for a few weeks. Fantasy owners should stay […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJoel Embiid is Doubtful for Game 4
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as doubtful for Game 4 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Embiid was listed as doubtful for Game 1, but still managed to play. However, he missed Game 3, so who knows what's going on with him. Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris would see a higher usage […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoBlake Griffin is Questionable for Saturday
Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Griffin has not played in the playoffs yet this season due to left knee soreness. The Pistons are getting crushed in this series, so having Griffin would be huge for them. Thon Maker would likely start again […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoHanley Ramirez Designated for Assignment on Saturday
Cleveland Indians designated hitter Hanley Ramirez has been designated for assignment on Saturday. Shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has activated from the 10-day injured list, so Ramirez was cut to clear up a roster spot. Ramirez saw 57 plate appearances in Cleveland, but managed just a .184/.298/.327, so it's tough to overlook that. He may bounce […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoBrandon Nimmo Back in the Lineup on Saturday
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be Nimmo's first game back in action since leaving Tuesday's contest due to a stiff neck. Nimmo will bat first and play center field versus right Miles Mikolas. DFS players should strongly […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJacob deGrom Plays Catch on Saturday
New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) was able to play catch on Saturday and is set for an MRI on Monday. It's a good sign that deGrom was able to play catch, so hopefully his elbow issue isn't too serious. He felt some pain in his elbow on Thursday and has been placed […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoFrancisco Lindor Activated on Saturday
Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Lindor has been battling minor leg injuries, but seems good to go now. The team has designated Hanley Ramirez to clear a roster spot for Lindor. Fantasy owners should go ahead and adjust their lineups now.
Andy Webb 6 years agoSaturday's Game Between Detroit and Chicago Has Been Postponed
The rain continues to come down in Detroit, so Saturday's Tigers versus the Chicago White Sox game has been postponed. Reynaldo Lopez will make his scheduled start for the Sox on Sunday. It sounds like Ervin Santana who was scheduled to start for the White Sox will be skipped in the rotation. DFS players should […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoGary Sanchez Will Play in Rehab Game on Monday
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) has been making steady progress lately and will play in a rehab game on Monday. There is a chance that if everything goes right, that Sanchez could be activated on Wednesday. Sanchez has six home runs and 11 RBI in 11 games this season, so he looks to […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoNathan Eovaldi Placed on Injured List
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Eovaldi had a 6.00 ERA through four starts this season, but maybe the elbow problem was what is holding him back. Left-handed pitcher Bobby Poyner has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Eovaldi on the active roster. It's unclear […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoCole Tucker Recalled on Saturday
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Cole Tucker has been recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. Tucker was hitting .333/.415/.579 with three home runs and seven RBI during his 13 games in the minors this season. Erik Gonzalez was injured on Friday, so Tucker should get a chance to slide right into the starting lineup. The lineups for the […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoIan Desmond Returns to the Lineup on Friday
Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond (leg) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Desmond will be in the lineup for the first time since Monday due to general leg soreness. He'll bat sixth and play center field versus righty Vince Velasquez. Taking any Rockies' hitter in Coors Field is […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoRyan Braun Sits Out Against Dodgers
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Braun has struggled this season, hitting .185/.221/.369, so it's not surprising to see him out of the lineup. Ben Gamel will play left field and bat seventh versus righty Ross Stripling. Gamel doesn't have […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJesus Aguilar is Sitting on Friday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Aguilar is hitting .155/.254/.190 this season, so he'll take a sit in this one. Eric Thames will take over duties at first base and bat sixth versus righty Ross Stripling. Thames is always a […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoBlake Swihart Likely to Be Traded in Next 24 Hours
Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart is expected to be traded in the next 24 hours, according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week, so Swihart's time on the Red Sox is coming to an end. He was once a top prospect, but has a .255/.314/.365 […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoBrad Peacock Will Start on Monday
Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock will draw the start in Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Peacock hasn't started a game since April 7. He was used mainly as a relief pitcher, so he likely won't pitch deep into Monday's game. DFS players can go ahead and avoid Peacock on Monday since he probably won't […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoManuel Margot Placed on Paternity Leave
San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot (personal) has been placed on paternity leave. It'll be interesting to see what the Padres decide to do since Margot is the only center fielder on the roster. Jose Pirela has been recalled to take Margot's spot on the roster. Maybe Pirela gets a chance in center field, but […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoGary Sanchez is Making Progress
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) was able to run, play catch, and catch a bullpen session on Friday. However, Sanchez still needs clearance from the medical staff before he can return to game action. It's unclear whether or not the Yankees will send Sanchez out for a rehab assignment. Sanchez is eligible to […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoMiguel Andujar Threw on Friday
New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) threw without issues to bases on Friday. Andujar suffered a small labrum tear in his right shoulder, so this is the biggest step in his rehab program yet. The Yankees may decide to move Andujar to first base or designated hitter in order to protect his shoulder. […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoTyler O'Neill, Harrison Bader Expected Back Soon
St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Tyler O'Neill (elbow) and Harrison Bader (hamstring) are expected to return to the Cardinals roster once eligible. O'Neill is dealing with right elbow ulnar nerve subluxation, so he could go on a rehab assignment before returning. He's eligible to return April 26, but we'll see it that actually happens. Bader is […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoBrandon Nimmo is Sitting Out on Friday
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is sitting out of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Nimmo has not been able to get into the lineup since leaving Tuesday's contest due to a stiff neck. Jeff McNeil will bat first and play left field, while Juan Lagares slides over to center field and […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJacob deGrom to Undergo MRI
New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) will undergo an MRI on his elbow, according to manager Mickey Callaway. It's unclear at the moment how serious this problem is, so fantasy owners will just need to be patient. DeGrom has struggled in his last two starts, so maybe the elbow issue is why he […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoWill Barton Could Lose Playing Time
Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton was pulled from Thursday's Game 3 versus the San Antonio Spurs. Barton was disappointed he was pulled from the game, but he's struggled heavily through the first two games of this series. Head coach Mike Malone may decide to start Malik Beasley in Game 4. DFS players should stay tuned […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoPatrick McCaw is Probable for Friday
Toronto Raptors guard Patrick McCaw (thumb) is listed as probable for Friday's Game 3 matchup against the Orlando Magic. McCaw hasn't played since March 28, and missed both of the first two playoff games. He didn't do much when he was healthy, so McCaw returning won't mean much for fantasy basketball. DFS players should ignore […]
