Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto produced three singles in four at-bats in a loss to the Miami Marlins by a score of 5-4 on Wednesday.

J.D. Martinez Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This doesn't come as a surprise after Martinez was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to ongoing leg and hamstring issues. He has already missed time recently due to the same issue. James Outman will serve […]

Oscar Colas Returning To The Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. The 24-year-old was held out of the lineup each of the last two games due to leg soreness. He'll cover right field and bat eighth versus right-hander Ian Hamilton on Wednesday. Colas is slashing […]

Miami Marlins first baseman Josh Bell smashed a solo shot in the fourth frame while batting left-handed, and in the eighth inning, he blasted a three-run homer from the right side of the plate.

Conor Larkin - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Conor Larkin, RP, Toronto Blue Jays ANALYSIS: Conor Larkin chose to return to Penn State after the shortened 2020 season, so he was not drafted in the short five-round 2020 draft. In 2021 he struggled with the Nittany Lions and fell to the ninth round for the Blue Jays. He works into the mid-90s […]

Anthony Volpe Getting A Rest Day

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe is taking a day off on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will instead start at shortstop and bat eighth in the order against White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger. It's a regular day of rest for Volpe, who could really use the rest. The 22-year-old has […]

Donovan Solano Diagnosed With MCL Sprain

Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano's (knee) MRI exam showed that he has a mild MCL sprain in his right knee after getting injured in Tuesday's game.

Jake McCarthy Heads To Bench Against Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy will retreat to the bench on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.

McCarthy is valuable in mixed fantasy leagues this year for […]

Corbin Carroll Hitting Leadoff, Geraldo Perdomo Drops To Ninth

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will bat leadoff on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. Meanwhile, shortstop Geraldo Perdomo drops to the nine-hole. Carroll has mostly been hitting near the top of Arizona's batting order, so the switch shouldn't affect him all that much. The 22-year-old has been excellent across […]

Luis Severino Not Starting Wednesday

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino will not serve as the traditional starter on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox, with the Yankees choosing instead to use Ian Hamilton as an opener. The expectation is that the struggling Severino will be used as the bulk reliever after Hamilton goes an inning or two. Chicago has […]

Tim Anderson Back In Action Against Yankees

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (forearm) is back at shortstop and batting leadoff for the Sox on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and right-handed opener Ian Hamilton. It's been an eventful couple of days for Anderson. First, the 30-year-old got knocked to the ground by a right hook from Cleveland Guardians third baseman […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. In Wednesday's Lineup

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (elbow) is right back in right field and in his customary leadoff spot on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie right-hander Quinn Priester after getting hit by a pitch on his left elbow in Tuesday's contest. X-rays came back negative for anything serious, though, which was a huge […]

Justin Turner Absent From BoSox's Lineup

As expected, Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) will miss another game on Wednesday against the visiting Kansas City Royals, and he'll likely be out on Thursday for the series finale in KC, too. Trevor Story is serving as the DH on Wednesday and is hitting third again, while Pablo Reyes will play […]

Mike Tauchman On Bench Against Southpaw

Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman will get a day of rest on Wednesday with the team facing left-hander David Peterson and the New York Mets.

Kyle Schwarber, Bryson Stott Resting Against Lefty

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber and infielder Bryson Stott are both sitting out on Wednesday against left-hander MacKenzie Gore and the Washington Nationals.

Tyler O'Neill Scratched From Lineup Again

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day due to left-knee tightness. Alec Burleson will now man left field and bat seventh in the order against Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. O'Neill's disappointing 2023 campaign continues, […]

Max Kepler Returns Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (foot) is back in right field and is batting in the three-hole on Wednesday as he faces right-hander Alex Faedo and the Detroit Tigers. Kepler took the day off on Tuesday after he was hit by a pitch on his right foot during Monday's contest. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger is […]

Tyler O'Neill Returns For Wednesday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, starting in left field and batting sixth against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks.

Brycen Mautz - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Brycen Mautz, SP, St. Louis Cardinals ANALYSIS: The Cardinals picked the 6'3" lefty Brycen Mautz out of the University of San Diego last summer in the second round. After tossing 90 2/3 innings (with 129 strikeouts) in his draft year in college, the Cardinals let him rest, but he did make an impression in […]

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds to Win Your League (2023)

As August begins, the playoff races heat up, and there are plenty of teams in the hunt in both the National and American league.

Jake Rogers On The Bench Wednesday

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is out of the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober.

Matt Vierling Returns To The Starting Lineup Wednesday

Detroit Tigers utility player Matt Vierling is back in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober. Vierling didn't appear in Tuesday's 6-0 victory over the Twins but returns on Wednesday to hit out of the three-hole and play third base where he has seen increased time of late. Acquired in […]

Nathan Eovaldi Throws Short Bullpen Wednesday

Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (forearm) threw a short 15-20-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. The right-hander last appeared on July 18, when he threw six scoreless innings in a start against the Rays and recently reported he was pain-free after throwing from 75 feet over the weekend. A lengthier bullpen session could come Saturday if […]

Adam Duvall Getting A Breather Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall is not in the starting lineup Wednesday night versus the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Jordan Lyles. The veteran slugged a homer in Tuesday night's 9-3 loss to the Royals but will take a seat for the third game of a four-game set on Wednesday. Duvall has cooled off […]

Corey Seager Getting Some Rest Wednesday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is getting a day off on Wednesday as his club takes on the Oakland A's and right-hander Austin Pruitt. It's certainly a well-earned day off for the former Dodger who went 3-for-5 with a homer and an RBI double to help steer the Rangers to a 6-1 win over the […]

Edouard Julien Re-Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien will return to the starting lineup Wednesday night versus Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo.

Of course, Julien has been marvelous for […]

Marcelo Perez - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Marcelo Perez, SP, Seattle Mariners ANALYSIS: Marcelo Perez worked as a swingman during his four years at Texas Christian. Despite strong metrics on his pitches, his frame (5'10" and 180-ish pounds) likely drove away teams and allowed him to last until the 11th round for Seattle. He pitched deep into the postseason with the […]
