Yandy Diaz To Miss Saturday's Game

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 31-year-old left early during Friday's game due to left shoulder soreness. Manager Kevin Cash said afterwards that Diaz is fine going forward, but would likely sit out on Saturday. That being said, fantasy […]

Jon Berti Headed To The Bench Saturday

Miami Marlins infielder Jon Berti is getting a rest in Saturday's matchup with Caleb Kilian and the Chicago Cubs. It's his second day off in three days, and he's slashing just .228/.279/.354 with two home runs, 10 runs, and eight RBI, but has swiped four bags across 26 games.

Max Muncy, Brusdar Graterol Activated From Paternity List

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated infielder Max Muncy and relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol from the paternity list on Friday and optioned outfielder Luke Williams and pitcher Justin Bruihl to the minors in corresponding moves.

Josh Rojas Absent On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas is absent from Friday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies. It appears the left-handed slugger is going to get a routine rest day on Friday.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (hand) is back in the team's starting lineup on Friday to face right-hander Clarke Schmidt and the New York Yankees. Jung was hit by a pitch on his left hand and left the contest early on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. He did not play on Thursday but will […]

Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez Both Playing Friday

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty and catcher Francisco Alvarez (head) are both in the starting lineup on Friday against Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried. Baty and Alvarez are the team's top-two prospects, according to MLB Pipeline. This will be Baty's first big-league start against a southpaw, but he's earned more playing time at […]

Pirates-Nationals Game Postponed Friday

The contest on Friday between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up on Saturday as part of a split-admission doubleheader. Left-hander Rich Hill was scheduled to take the ball for the Pirates on Friday, with right-hander Chad Kuhl opposing him on the mound […]

Orioles-Tigers Postponed Friday

Friday's contest between the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather.
