Scott Schebler Out Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. The Reds are scheduled to take on Jon Lester and Schebler doesn't have a hit against him in his career, so the Reds figured today would be a good day to give him some rest. He has slowed down […]

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto gave up five runs on 10 hits and two walks through five innings during Thursday's start against the Cardinals.

Hanson had been tearing the cover off the baseball before going on the disabled list and since returning a month ago has a slash line of .257/.284/.471. The Giants undoubtedly […]

Danny Salazar To Undergo Surgery Monday

Cleveland Indians pitcher Danny Salazar will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on Monday.

Still, Salazar is owned in 21% of leagues, and that number needs to be greatly reduced as he […]

Carlos Carrasco To Start Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco is set to come off the disabled list and start Friday nights game against the Athletics.

Charlie Blackmon Hits The Bench Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Tyler Flowers Gets The Start On Sunday

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers is getting the start over Kurt Suzuki on Sunday against the Cardinals.

Flowers and Suzuki are both having pretty decent season, however because of their split playing […]

Kurt Suzuki Sitting Sunday

Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki is taking a breather on Sunday against the Cardinals. Suzuki has been having a great season and has been extremely hot in the last month batting .360 with a .961 OPS. Unfortunately, because he shares the position so much with Tyler Flowers, he only has 50 at bats over that […]

Francisco Pena Starting Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals backup catcher Francisco Pena is getting the start Sunday while Yadier Molina takes a breather. Molina plays so often that Pena hasn't had a whole lot of plate appearances this season, but hasn't made much of the ones he has received. Pena is batting just .207 over his 87 at bats this […]

Yadier Molina Sitting Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is getting a rare day off on Sunday against Atlanta.

Marwin Gonzalez Out Sunday

Houston Astros utility man Marwin Gonzalez is sitting Sunday against the Rays. Gonzalez has been awful over the past two weeks batting just .095 through 42 at bats.

Buster Posey Sitting Thursday

Brandon Nimmo Leaves Game With Finger Injury

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo left Sunday's game with a sore pinkie finger after a HBP. The Mets have already run X-rays on his right hand and they came back negative.

Travis Jankowski Scratched With Quad Soreness

San Diego Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski was scratched before Sunday's game with left quad soreness. Jankowski has been decent this season with a .285 average and 12 steals, but with how many options the Padres have in the outfield especially with Wil Myers returning, he doesn't play enough to be fantasy viable. Matt Szczur will […]
