Chris Sale To Throw BP Session On Wednesday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) will take another step forward in his recovery from Tommy John Surgery on Wednesday when he throws two innings of live batting practice. The Red Sox ace came out of Saturday's 15-pitch session to live hitters "feeling great" and a scheduled rehab assignment is surely on the […]
Mets Claim Chance Cisco, J.D. Davis To 60-Day IL
The New York Mets claimed catcher Chance Cisco from the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The club optioned the 26-year-old to Triple-A Syracuse, and he is simply catcher depth for the organization and remains well off the fantasy radar. To make room for Cisco, the Mets transferred third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) to the 60-day-injured list. Davis […]

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez slugged a ninth-inning grand slam off of Detroit Tigers right-hander Bryan Garcia in a 12-3 Astros win on Thursday.

Keston Hiura Batting Eighth Friday
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura is in the starting lineup Friday, batting eighth and playing first base against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jon Gray, who is fresh off the injured list.

Ramon Laureano Takes A Seat Saturday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old has gone 2-for-9 in two games with one home run since returning from the injured list on June 16. Seth Brown will take Laureano's spot in the lineup and bat seventh. With a .188 […]
Michael Brantley Goes Yard Thursday
Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley slugged his fourth home run of the season in the first inning off of White Sox starter Dylan Cease in Thursday's 10-2 win. The three-run bomb was a welcomed sight, as any pop the left-hander provides is the cherry on top of his elite .342 batting average. Combined with a […]
Tarik Skubal Continues Solid Form
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal posted his second consecutive quality start on Wednesday in a win against the Royals. The 24-year-old racked up seven strikeouts and limited Kansas City to only three earned runs despite allowing eight baserunners (six hits, two walks) over six innings. The former top prospect has now given up three earned […]
Gary Sanchez Out Of Lineup Wednesday
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Blue Jays. Despite hitting .340 over his past 15 games with four homers, the 28-year-old will see the bench for another Gerrit Cole start. The recent hot streak is reminding fantasy managers of Sanchez's potential at the backstop […]
