Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Returning On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old made an early exit on Sunday due to hamstring tightness. Luckily, Gurriel was only forced to miss one game as sometimes hamstring issues can linger for a few weeks. Gurriel is expected […]

Eloy Jimenez Gets Breather

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Eloy Jimenez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The O's have decided to give the oft-injured slugger the day off after he started in four straight games. Jimenez is off to a hot start with his new team. He's 12-for-24 with four RBI in […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Likely Headed To Injured List

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (elbow) is expected to be placed on the injured list, according to manager Aaron Boone. This is not the news fantasy managers wanted to hear right now. Chisholm was off to an excellent start with the Bronx Bombers. He was hitting over .300 with seven home runs and […]

Logan O'Hoppe Back In The Lineup

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is good news for fantasy managers after O'Hoppe was forced to exit early on Monday due to a knee issue. It's nice to see O'Hoppe back in the lineup as sometimes knee […]

Manny Machado Returns To The Lineup

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The All-Star slugger will return to the hot corner after getting a rest day on Monday. His return will send Donovan Solano back to the bench. Machado didn't have the ideal first half of […]

Bradley Blalock Recalled, Starting On Monday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Bradley Blalock has been recalled from Double-A to make his first career start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Blalock was acquired by the team a few weeks ago as part of a deal for right-hander Nick Mears. Blalock had a 4.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 18 starts in Double-A this season. […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Remains Sidelined

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This isn't shocking news considering Gurriel was forced to exit early on Sunday due to a hamstring issue. The D-Backs appear to be taking the cautious approach and giving Gurriel a day off to […]

Victor Robles Signs Two-Year Extension

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles has signed a two-year extension with the organization. The 27-year-old gets a $9.75 million extension with a $9 million option for the 2027 season. What a turnaround for Robles who was cut by the Washington Nationals earlier in the season. He's slashing .303/.372/.450 in 42 contests since joining the Mariners. […]

Manny Machado Absent On Monday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This appears to be a regular rest day for Machado after he recorded three hits during their last series. Despite that, Machado has done a fairly nice job with the bat since the All-Star […]

Luis Robert Jr. Taking A Seat On Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the New York Yankees. The star outfielder will get a breather here after going 2-for-35 in his first eight games of August. It has been a tough year for Robert but hopefully he can finish the year […]

Max Scherzer To Undergo Further Testing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (arm) has been sidelined nearly two weeks due to fatigue issues. It sounds like the veteran right-hander is not responded well to the extra time off. That being said, Scherzer will head back to Texas for further testing. Scherzer is eligible to return from the injured list on Thursday. […]

Joe Musgrove Activated, Starting On Monday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander will take the ball for the first time since going down in late May due to an elbow issue. He'll take the mound in a favorable matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Musgrove has struggled during […]

Hunter Brown Notches Nine Strikeouts In Win

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown continued his fantastic turnaround season against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. The right-hander struck out nine batters while allowing only two runs over 5 1/3 innings of work in the win. Brown had a 9.78 ERA heading into May and he has lowered that to 3.96 after his […]

DL Hall Records Nine Strikeouts

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher DL Hall made his first start since coming off the injured list on Sunday. The left-hander struck out nine batters while allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in a no-decision. His last start came in late April so it's surprising that the Brewers let Hall throw 92 pitches […]

Juan Soto Hits Two Homers On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto came ready to play during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The slugging outfielder went 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs in the win. Soto continues to be one of the best players in the league as he's setting himself up nicely for free agency this winter. […]

Jorge Soler Homers Twice

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler brought the power with him for the weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. On Sunday, Soler went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in the loss. This is now four homers for Soler over the last three days. However, we'll see how he does once the Braves leave […]

Spencer Schwellenbach Tosses Quality Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach was sharp on the mound during Sunday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie right-hander struck out seven batters while allowing two runs over six innings of work in a no-decision. Schwellenbach has pitched well this season, but the Braves offense never seems to give him much support. He'll […]

Victor Vodnik Notches Eighth Save

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Victor Vodnik was called upon to protect a one-run lead against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. The right-hander managed to work around a hit and earn his eighth save of the season. The Rockies have struggled to find a closer all season long, but maybe Vodnik is the answer. He's a […]

Jake McCarthy Collects Three Hits

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy remained hot at the plate during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The biggest hit of the day for McCarthy was a two-out bases clearing triple in the fifth inning to help grow the lead to 8-2. He finished the day 3-for-5 with four RBI in the win. McCarthy is […]

Nick Harris Traded To Browns

Seattle Seahawks center Nick Harris has been traded to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. This is an odd story considering Harris spent the first four years of his career with Cleveland. He was taken in the fifth-round by the team during the 2020 NFL Draft. However, he was let go by the team this offseason […]

Marquez Callaway Cut By Saints

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway has been released by the organization on Sunday. That didn't last long for Callaway as he was added to the roster in the beginning of the month. He has now been cut in order to make room for wide receiver Shaquan Davis on the 90-man roster. Callaway did […]

Eddy Pineiro Wins Starting Kicker Spot

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro appears to have won the starting kicker job heading into the regular season. The organization has waived undrafted free agent Harrison Mervis on Sunday. That leaves Pineiro as the only kicker on the roster, which means he should be the starter heading into the season. Last season, Pineiro connected on […]

Rashod Bateman Should Return Soon

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is expected to be back on the practice field soon, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Bateman appeared to have suffered an upper body injury during practice last Monday. Harbaugh said the issue isn't serious, but Bateman sat out of the preseason opener anyway. The Ravens are likely just […]

Kyle Hamilton Exits Practice Early

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (leg) was forced to exit early during practice on Sunday. The young safety suffered a leg injury, but head coach John Harbaugh said that Hamilton looks stable. The assumption is that the team will run tests to determine the severity of the issue. The hope is that this is a […]

James Paxton Exits In First Inning

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher James Paxton has been pulled from Sunday's outing against the Houston Astros. The veteran southpaw limped to the dugout after recording two outs and giving up two hits. The exact injury is uncertain right now but there should be more information on Paxton soon. In his absence, right-hander Lucas Sims […]

Matt Vierling Returns To The Lineup

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (back) returns to the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 27-year-old is back in the lineup after missing two games due to back spasms. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff against right-hander Hayden Birdsong on Sunday. Fantasy managers who have Vierling […]

Jose Tena Exits Early On Sunday

Washington Nationals infielder Jose Tena (thumb) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Tena suffered a right thumb injury while attempting to field a grounder in the third inning. The expectation is that Tena will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Ildemaro Vargas replaced him […]

Ramon Laureano Remains Out On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (heel) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran outfielder was pulled from Saturday's contest due to right heel soreness. Laureano has a wrap on his foot, so the severity of the issue is unknown right now. For now, fantasy managers should […]

Joey Loperfido Taking A Seat On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The rookie slugger has started the last three games and will get the day off against a left-handed starting pitcher. The 24-year-old has struggled a bit lately but should continue to get regular at-bats down […]

Sean Tucker Rushes For Nearly 70 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker did a solid job on the ground during Saturday's preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. The second-year back barely touched the field during his rookie season in Tampa Bay. Tucker is looking to secure the backup role behind Rachaad White. He certainly helped his case while rushing for […]
