Oswald Peraza Absent From The Yankees Lineup

New York Yankees infielder Oswald Peraza (ankle) is not in the lineup for Saturday's showdown against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 22-year-old is dealing with a right ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day. There's a good chance he'll avoid a trip to the injured list but fantasy managers shouldn't count on seeing him for the […]

Nolan Gorman Not In The Lineup On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (back) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. The 22-year-old missed Friday's contest as well with lower back tightness but he was able to appear as a pinch-hitter in that one. The Cards are just playing it safe with him for now. There's a […]

Willson Contreras Starting At Designated Hitter

St. Louis Cardinals catcher/designated hitter Willson Contreras (ankle) is serving as the team's designated hitter on Saturday and batting third against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran backstop hurt his ankle in Friday's series opener against Detroit but he's healthy enough to take at-bats on Saturday, which is a good sign. Andrew Knizner is batting ninth […]

Adam Wainwright Activated From The Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start in his season debut on Saturday versus the Detroit Tigers. The veteran hurler missed the first five weeks of the regular season with a groin injury but he's ready to go this weekend. It's fair to wonder how […]

Mark Leiter Jr. Secures Another Hold

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. struck out three over a scoreless eighth inning in a 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Monday. Drew Smyly held the Nats to just one run over his seven innings before giving way to Leiter Jr., who retired all three batters he faced via the strikeout in […]

Drew Smyly Goes Seven Strong Innings In Victory

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Drew Smyly allowed just one run on six hits with a pair of strikeouts over seven strong innings in a 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals. This was a relatively easy start for the veteran left-hander as the soft-hitting Nats lineup didn't have many answers for him. Lane Thomas did take […]

Garrett Cooper Leaves Early With Stomach Illness

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper exited Sunday's contest against the Chicago Cubs early with a stomach illness, per the team. The 32-year-old was 1-for-2 with a single before leaving the game. The team should provide an update following Sunday's game but it doesn't sound too serious. He should be good to go on Tuesday […]

Easton McGee Lands On The 15-Day IL

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Easton McGee (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain. This is a bummer for McGee, who was recalled on Saturday to start against the Blue Jays and pitched very well. He held the Jays scoreless and even had a no-hitter going through his first […]

Dominic Fletcher Recalled From Triple-A Reno

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Dominic Fletcher has been recalled from Triple-A Reno and will serve as an extra outfielder on the big league roster. The D-Backs want some outfield depth after Corbin Carroll hurt his knee and had to leave Saturday's contest early. Fletcher was slashing .323/.417/.559 with three home runs, 13 RBI, and one stolen […]

Julio Rodriguez Not In The Lineup Against Toronto

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays. J-Rod left Saturday's contest early with back tightness so it makes sense that the Mariners are going to be extra cautious with their 22-year-old phenom. He'll get an extra day off on Monday as well […]

Tyler Mahle To Miss Next Start

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (elbow) received an MRI and X-rays on his throwing arm and will miss his next start, per manager Rocco Baldelli. The manager also stated that the team doctor will review the results of Mahle's tests later on Sunday so the Twins should have a more concrete update soon. Mahle […]

Brandon Woodruff Has A Positive MRI Follow Up

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) had a "very positive" MRI follow-up on his right shoulder, according to General Manager Matt Arnold. The GM also told reporters that he expects Woodruff back in the starting rotation by the end of June. The hard-throwing 30-year-old hit the injured list earlier in April with a right […]

Brandon Crawford Out On Sunday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (calf) is absent from the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres in Mexico City. The veteran shortstop exited Saturday's contest early with calf tightness so he'll be getting a day off on Sunday to heal up. Thairo Estrada is taking over at shortstop and batting […]

Corbin Carroll Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies. Carroll suffered a knee contusion while attempting to make a leaping catch during Saturday's contest. He left that game early and it looks like he needs another day to get right. The dynamic 22-year-old should be […]

Jonathan India Sitting Out On Sunday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. This looks to be a routine day off for the 26-year-old, who is off to a rock-solid start this season. India is slashing .283/.392/.394 with one home run, 11 RBI, and five stolen bases across 99 at-bats […]

Chris Flexen Removed From Starting Rotation

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Chris Flexen has been removed from the starting rotation. The 28-year-old hurler has been nothing short of a disaster for Seattle after he took the injured Robbie Ray's place in the starting rotation. He posted a miserable 8.86 ERA, 1.97 WHIP, and 14:11 K/BB ratio over 21 1/3 innings (five games, […]

Cristian Pache Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee injury. The 24-year-old appeared to tweak his knee on the basepaths in Friday's contest and was initially ruled day-to-day before being placed on the IL. Pache was playing well for the Phillies after being traded from the A's […]

Charlie Morton Will Start On Monday Against NYM

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton has had his start pushed to Monday versus the New York Mets. The veteran hurler was scheduled to pitch Sunday's contest against the Mets but due to Saturday's rainout, Spencer Strider will get that assignment instead. The 39-year-old right-hander owns a solid 3-2 record, 2.76 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and […]

Yordan Alvarez Back In The Lineup On Saturday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 25-year-old masher has missed the last four games with neck discomfort but he's back out there as the designated hitter, batting third. It's an encouraging sign that the team felt comfortable enough to insert him back […]

Andres Munoz Has Not Started Rehab Assignment

Seattle Mariners reliever Andres Munoz (shoulder) has not started his rehab assignment and currently has no timetable for his return. Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters that he has no update on the 24-year-old's shoulder. Munoz was slated to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma this weekend but that's clearly not happening at the […]

Ty France Taking A Seat On Saturday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France is getting the day off on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a routine day off for the 28-year-old veteran who has had a rough go over the last few weeks. He's slashing just .198/.313/.245 with no home runs and nine RBI over the last 15 contests. […]

Easton McGee Recalled From Triple-A Tacoma

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Easton McGee has been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and is expected to start on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Seattle opted to go with the 25-year-old over Chris Flexen, who has struggled mightily and was slated to start. McGee has notched five decent starts at the Triple-A level this year, […]

Diego Castillo Optioned To Triple-A Tacoma

Seattle Mariners reliever Diego Castillo has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. Castillo has struggled, as have most of the Mariners, so this shouldn't come as too much of a shock. The 29-year-old right-hander posted a rough 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and 7:7 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings out of the bullpen so far this […]

Braves And Mets Postponed Due to Inclement Weather

Saturday's contest between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets Has Been Postponed. Rain is expected throughout the day in New York so the contest will be made up during a double-header on August 12. Spencer Strider and Tylor Megill, who was supposed to start Saturday, likely will have their starts moved to Sunday […]

Kolten Wong Collects Three Hits Against Former Team

Seattle Mariners second baseman Kolten Wong went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. This was Wong's second multi-hit effort of the season as the veteran second baseman has gotten off to an absolutely brutal start. He's slashing an ugly .140/.231/.140 with three RBI, no home […]

Julio Rodriguez Draws A Pair Of Walks In Sunday's Loss

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went 0-for-2 with two walks and a strikeout in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. J-Rod and the Mariners didn't have much offense in Sunday's series finale as they struck out 14 times as a team and mustered just three runs. Rodriguez has reached base safely in 8-of-10 […]

Jarred Kelenic Goes Deep On Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. The 23-year-old put the M's on the board in the bottom of the second inning when he took Jack Flaherty to the opposite field, depositing a solo homer run over the […]

Teoscar Hernandez Goes Hitless In Sunday's Loss

Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Mariners couldn't muster much on offense, plating just three runs. Hernandez was responsible for two of the M's 14 team strikeouts. Despite the hitless effort on Sunday, Hernandez had a solid […]

Will Smith Shuts The Door On Oakland

Texas Rangers reliever Will Smith worked a scoreless ninth inning in a 5-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Smith got the nod in the ninth over Jose Leclerc and protected the Rangers' three-run lead to secure his second save of the season. He did give up a meaningless single Aledmys Diaz but was […]

Tony Gonsolin Likely To Start On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) is likely to start on Wednesday against the Pittsburg Pirates, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 28-year-old righty has yet to make his season debut while dealing with an ankle injury but he was pulled from his rehab assignment early and is currently with the Dodgers in […]
