St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Double-A Springfield.

Jake Fraley Sitting Out On Thursday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (calf) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Fraley was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a lower leg contusion. He underwent an MRI on his right calf on Thursday, but he's still […]

Will Brennan Placed On Injured List
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan (rib) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 25. This move was expected after Brennan missed some time due to rib-cage inflammation. There isn't a timetable for his return right now, so the hope is that this won't be a lengthy absence. In the meantime, Daniel […]

Jeimer Candelario Absent On Thursday
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Carlos Correa Exits Early On Thursday
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (arm) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Correa took a 94-mph fastball off his right arm which forced him to exit the contest. The assumption is that the 29-year-old will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Kyle Farmer shifted over […]

Brandon Drury Remains Out On Thursday
Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran slugger is set to miss his seven straight game due to an illness. It's honestly surprising that the Angels haven't placed Drury on the injured list considering he has been out since […]

Jose Altuve Continues Hot Stretch
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was once again solid at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran infielder went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBIs and two stolen bases in the win. Unsurprisingly, Altuve was the offensive catalyst for this team. The 34-year-old has been hot with a .365 batting […]

Spencer Arrighetti Records 10 Strikeouts
Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti was impressive on the mound during Wednesday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie right-hander struck out 10 batters over seven shutout innings during Wednesday's win. The Rockies' hitters only managed three hits off Arrighetti as he put together his best performance of the season. It's worth noting that […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds officially owns the longest hit streak of the 2024 season. The switch-hitter singled in the first inning of Wednesday's game to extend his hitting streak to 23 games. It was his lone hit of the afternoon, but he's still in the middle of a stellar stretch of play. Reynolds is […]

Luis L. Ortiz Notches Seven Strikeouts
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Luis L. Ortiz rebounded nicely during Wednesday's win over the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old recorded seven strikeouts and allowed one run over six innings of work. This was a nice bounce back performance for Ortiz after he gave up six runs during his outing last Friday. The former top prospect has shown […]

George Kirby Looks Impressive In Win
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher George Kirby looked sharp on the mound during Wednesday's start against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander struck out seven batters while allowing only one run over six innings during Wednesday's win. Kirby gave up an early run off the bat of Yandy Diaz, but he held the Rays in check […]

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh was on a tear at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The left-handed slugger went 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the win.

Liam Hendriks To Throw This Week
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week. The 35-year-old will throw his first session since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. It sounds like Hendriks is making progress, but still isn't expected to contribute to the Red Sox bullpen this season. This is a step […]

Dallas Keuchel Acquired By Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for cash considerations. The veteran southpaw signed a minor league deal with the Mariners in late-May. He currently holds a 3.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 45/22 K/BB across 13 starts in the minors this season. The 36-year-old might still have […]

Hoby Milner Serving As Opener
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Hoby Milner will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The veteran southpaw will make his first start after 269 career relief appearances dating back to his MLB debut in 2017. The expectation is that Milner will only pitch the first inning or two. After that, Bryse […]

Brandon Drury Remains Out On Tuesday
Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran slugger will miss his fifth straight game while dealing with an illness. The Angels haven't placed Drury on the injured list, but it shouldn't be completely ruled out. Luis Guillorme will fill […]

Kyle Tucker Making Solid Progress
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) was able to some swings with the bat on Sunday. The expectation is that Tucker is going to resume running within the next few days. Tucker is currently scheduled for a light throwing session on Friday. He'll likely go on a minor league rehab assignment soon after that. The […]

Randy Rodriguez To Serve As Opener
San Francisco Giants pitcher Randy Rodriguez will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It appears the Giants are going to go with a bullpen game here. Rodriguez will likely pitch a few innings, but probably not enough to factor into the decision. The 24-year-old holds a 4.82 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, […]

Max Kepler Returning On Tuesday
Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz has been suspended 10 games for violating the rules on foreign substances. The right-hander was tossed from Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs before ever throwing a pitch.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Heads To The Injured List
San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (quadriceps) has been placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game.

The team hasn't given […]

Eloy Jimenez Remains In The Lineup
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) remains in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Clayton Kershaw Shut Down From Throwing
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) won't make a start on Tuesday and will be shut down from throwing for a week. The veteran left-hander has reportedly been feeling soreness in his shoulder since throwing a bullpen session last week. The MRI showed no new damage on his shoulder, so it just sounds […]

Patrick Sandoval To Have Season-Ending Surgery
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval (elbow) is expected to undergo season-ending surgery. The southpaw was recently placed on the injured list due to an elbow issue. After further testing, Sandoval was found to have a torn UCL and will likely need Tommy John surgery. If that happens, Sandoval probably won't be able to […]

Teoscar Hernandez Absent On Monday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. There is no injury being reported, so it's assumed that this is a routine rest day for Hernandez. It is a bit odd to see Hernandez getting a day off against a left-handed starting […]

Framber Valdez Posts Quality Outing
Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez was solid on the mound during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The southpaw allowed one run on six hits over seven innings of work in the win. Valdez struck out seven batters while walking two hitters on the day. This wasn't an easy task for Valdez, but he […]

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz had a solid day at the plate during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Diaz went 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's win. All of his hits were singles, but fantasy managers will take a three-RBI game any day. This season Diaz is slashing .264/.292/.412 with […]

Kodai Senga Faces Live Hitters
New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (shoulder) was able to throw a successful 22-pitch live bullpen session on Sunday.
