Rays-Indians Game On Tuesday Postponed

Tuesday's game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Indians has been postponed. The postponement is because of the path of tropical storm Elsa.

Nelson Cruz, Josh Donaldson Out For Another Game

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (neck) and third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) remain out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. Cruz and Donaldson will both be missing their second straight game, but fantasy managers should continue to consider them day-to-day for now. Both players should be owned and started […]

Yoan Moncada Returns To Lineup On Monday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) will return to the lineup on Monday versus the Minnesota Twins. Moncada suffered a bruised hand on Thursday and sat out this weekend against the Detroit Tigers. Moncada is good to go for now and will bat second this evening versus Bailey Ober. Moncada has been having […]

Jose Ramirez Returns To Lineup Monday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (elbow) returns to the lineup Monday night against Rich Hill and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Mets Interested In Asdrubal Cabrera

The New York Mets have been scouting Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Asdrubal Cabrera, who would be a pure rental for New York after he signed a one-year, $1.75 million deal with Arizona last winter. The last-place Diamondbacks are clearly sellers at this year's trade deadline and are willing to move almost anybody on their roster. Cabrera […]

Josh Donaldson Not On The Mets Radar

The Minnesota Twins will be sellers at this month's trade deadline and the New York Mets are expected to be an active buyer, but third baseman Josh Donaldson is not currently on the Mets radar. The Mets got Jonathan Villar back from the injured list on Sunday and will be getting J.D. Davis back soon […]

Anthony Rendon, Taylor Ward Avoid Serious Injuries

Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said that third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) and outfielder Taylor Ward (finger) might both be unavailable on Monday against the Boston Red Sox, but he doesn't think that either injury is serious enough to require an injured list stint. Rendon left early on Sunday with left hamstring tightness in […]

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado reached base in all five plate appearances Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies, pummelling three home runs and walking thrice, scoring three runs and driving in five.

Jeimer Candelario Hit Fifth Four Times This Past Week

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario hit fifth in the lineup four times during the team's games this past week, including for Sunday's matchup against the Chicago White Sox.

Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal Could Return By Monday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) and catcher Yasmani Grandal (calf) could both return to the lineup on Monday, according to James Fegan of The Athletic.

Jose Ramirez Remains Out Of Lineup On Sunday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday while he continues to deal with left elbow soreness. This will now be the third straight game that Ramirez sits out and the fifth time in the team's last seven games that he is sitting on the bench. Managers should […]

Starlin Castro Heating Up In The Last Week

Washington Nationals infielder Starlin Castro, who got two hits in his first two at-bats with an RBI on Sunday, has been on a 10-for-19 tear over his past seven games. Castro is mainly a backup in mixed leagues because of his limited pop, but he has lifted his slash line this season to .266/.319/.676. He is […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Sitting Out Sunday's Contest

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's finale with the Brewers.

Kyle Seager Homers, Reaches Four Times

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had his best game in some time Saturday, going 2-for-2 with a home run, two walks, and two runs scored. It's his 15th homer of the year.
