Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) will make his return to the lineup Friday night against the Cleveland Guardians.

Eloy Jimenez In White Sox Starting Lineup

The Chicago White Sox will have outfielder Eloy Jimenez (knee) back in their lineup Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. Jimenez left Friday's game against the Guardians with right knee discomfort after twisting his knee while swinging, which is scary considering his injury history. However, he is feeling better today and will get back in the […]

Teoscar Hernandez Leaves Game After Fouling Ball Off Foot

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez left Saturday's game against the New York Yankees after fouling a ball off his left foot. Hernandez went for X-rays after the game and they came back negative, which is a good sign. He did say that he was still feeling some pain in his foot, so the Blue […]

Keegan Thompson Roughed Up By Brewers

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Keegan Thompson had a rough start against the Brewers on Friday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over three and two-thirds innings. Although Thompson has been useful this season, he has really struggled recently, pitching to an 8.44 ERA in four August starts. This […]

Aaron Ashby Struggles Friday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Aaron Ashby was torched on Friday, allowing six runs on eight hits over his five innings of work in an 8-7 loss against the Chicago Cubs. Ashby struck out eight and didn't walk a batter, which is a good sign for the young lefty considering his struggles with control, but the […]

Juan Yepez Activated Off IL, Sent To Minors

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez (forearm) has been activated off the IL and sent to Triple-A Memphis. Yepez had been contributing nicely for the Cardinals, but was slumping hard in July, slashing just .149/.196/.277 with two homers over 47 at-bats. With Lars Nootbaar heating up and Tyler O'Neill, Dylan Carlson, and Brendan Donovan contributing […]

Ryan Helsley Placed On Paternity Leave

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Ryan Helsley (personal) has been placed on paternity leave by the team. The fireballer will likely miss all of this weekend's series against the Arizona Diamondbacks as he awaits the arrival of his baby. Helsley has been a revelation this season, taking over the Cardinals' closer job while consistently hitting […]

Joe Barlow Headed Back To Injured List With Blister Issue

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) is headed back to the injured list. Barlow is once again dealing with a blister issue on his right index finger, and it is bad enough that he is making a second trip to the injured list because of it. Barlow has pitched well this season with a […]

George Springer Out Of Lineup Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) is not in the lineup Friday after fouling a ball off his knee in Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Springer has dealt with his fair share of injuries over the last few years, and although this doesn't sound like a serious injury, the Jays will likely […]

Kyle Stowers Called Up Friday, In Starting Lineup

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers has been called up by the team and will hit fifth in his return from the minors on Friday. Stowers was first called up in mid-June, but only appeared in two games before being sent back down. The Orioles' ninth-ranked prospect has played exclusively at Triple-A this season, outside of […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Suspended 80 Games For PED Use

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has been suspended 80 games for violating MLB's P.E.D. policy. This is a huge loss for the Padres, who just went all in at the deadline only to have their young star get busted for P.E.D.'s just as he was about to return. It's a shame that we […]

Clayton Kershaw Throwing, Won't Rush Back

os Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) began throwing on Thursday and said he is feeling better after receiving an epidural injection. Kershaw has been dealing with lower back pain, which has plagued Kershaw for a few seasons now. The future Hall-Of-Famer said he will take his time building up and wants to be […]

George Springer Begins Hitting, Throwing

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) has been hitting and is expected to begin throwing Friday. Springer has been on the IL since August 5th, although he's been dealing with the issue since late July. The hope is that his stint on the injured list will at least allow Springer to feel less pain […]

Tarik Skubal Moved To 60-Day IL, Injury Could Be Elbow Related

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal (forearm/elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday. While this move appeared likely to end Skubal's season, manager A.J. Hinch made it official when asked about the injury. Hinch also said that the issue, deemed a forearm injury at first, is more related to the elbow area and […]

Max Muncy Playing On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hand) is back in the starting lineup Friday against Kansas City Royals. Muncy left Wednesday's game after taking a ball off the hand and wasn't able to swing a bat on Thursday. Nevertheless, he feels better now and is going to DH tonight. The 31-year-old has been heating up […]

DL Hall Called Up By Orioles, Could Start Saturday

Baltimore Orioles top pitching prospect DL Hall has been called up to the big leagues and appears likely to make a start tomorrow against the Tampa Bay Rays. The top 100 prospect has shown elite swing-and-miss stuff in the minors this season, racking up 114 strikeouts in 70 innings pitched in Triple-A. That said, he […]

Ken Giles DFA'd By Mariners

The Seattle Mariners DFA'd relief pitcher Ken Giles on Friday. The 31-year-old has had major struggles staying healthy over the past few years, as he has pitched only eight innings since the start of 2020. With Giles having both elbow and shoulder issues over that time span, it makes sense that the Mariners would move […]

San Francisco Giants Listening To Offers On Carlos Rodon, Others

The San Francisco Giants are now listening to offers for veteran players, according to Jon Heyman. With the Giants in a freefall, going 2-8 in their last 10 and falling four games out of the final wild card spot, this change in philosophy makes sense. While Carlos Rodon and Joc Pederson are the obvious trade […]

Tim Anderson Suspended Three Games

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended three games for making contact with an umpire during Friday night's game against the Oakland Athletics. The incident occurred after Anderson took exception to a strike call by home plate umpire Nick Mahrley in the seventh inning, after which Anderson was thrown out of the game […]

Kenley Jansen Unavailable Saturday

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Kenley Jansen (back) is unavailable to pitch Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks after feeling a twinge in his back during his appearance Friday. The injury isn't considered serious, but fantasy managers should keep an eye out for news on the Braves closer over the next few days. Jansen has put up […]

Max Kepler, Miguel Sano Head To IL

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (toe) and first baseman Miguel Sano (knee) were placed on the 10-day IL Saturday. Kepler had missed the last three games with a toe injury that is now known to be a fractured right pinkie toe. After a hot start at the dish, he has cooled down with just four […]

Rockies Holding Onto Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela, German Marquez,

The Colorado Rockies are reportedly set to hold onto starting pitchers Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela, and German Marquez. This news comes on the heels of earlier news that the Rockies were extending closer Daniel Bard and not planning to trade first baseman C.J. Cron. The Rockies obviously think they are very close to competing and […]

Tampa Bay Rays Acquire David Peralta

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta has been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Jeff Passan. Coming back to the Diamondbacks in the deal is 19-year-old catcher Christian Cerda. Peralta is more of a platoon bat at this point, as he has a pretty good .823 OPS against righties but just a .462 OPS […]

Taylor Rogers Removed From Closer Role

San Diego Padres left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers has been removed from the closer role, according to manager Bob Melvin. Rogers has been one of the worst relievers in baseball the last few months, after arguably being the best reliever in the league for the first couple of months. Since May 28, Rogers has compiled a […]

Corey Seager Not In Lineup Friday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (leg) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Seager is day-to-day with a right leg contusion after he fouled a ball off said leg in last night's game. The Rangers are likely to take extra caution with Seager, who has had his problems […]

Mets Looking Into J.D. Martinez And Christian Vazquez

The New York Mets have scouts attending the Boston Red Sox's Friday night affair against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Ken Rosenthal. They are mainly there to see Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez and catcher Christian Vazquez. The Mets have been involved in rumors circulating around Chicago Cubs relief pitcher David Robertson and catcher Willson […]

Luis Robert Scratched From Rehab Game

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) has been scratched from Triple-A Charlotte's lineup Friday with cold symptoms. The young star has been dealing with light-headedness and dizziness over the past few weeks and just began his rehab assignment on Thursday. He is still scheduled to play on Saturday, so hopefully this is just a […]

Tylor Megill To Pitch Out Of Bullpen

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Tylor Megill (shoulder) is likely to assume a bullpen role when he returns to the team. Megill has been dealing with a right shoulder strain that put him on the shelf back on June 17, and he hasn't yet started a rehab assignment. He isn't eligible to return until mid-August, […]

Justin Turner Back On The Bench Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This marks the seventh time in the Dodgers past eight games that Turner has missed due to an abdominal injury. Turner said that he is just playing it safe, so expect a return to […]

Trevor Rogers Put On Injured List With Back Spasms

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers (back) has been placed on the 15-day IL with lower back spasms, retroactive to July 26. This might be a good thing for Rogers, who has fallen on tough times this season and could use a break to reset and figure out what is going on. The injury could […]
