Giovanny Urshela is Out on Monday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets.

Tommy La Stella Making Case To Be An All-Star

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Tommy La Stella continues to make a strong push to make his first All-Star game heading into this week's action.

Wil Myers Can't Find His Groove

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers concluded an awful weekend series against the Washington Nationals, going hitless in 11 at-bats with two walks and five strikeouts. Through 227 plate appearances, Myers is registering career-worsts in average (.221) and strikeouts (37 percent). The notoriously streaky 28-year-old has endured more lows than highs in 2019 with 11 […]

Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder David Fletcher (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup with a left shoulder issue on Sunday, according to manager Brad Ausmus.

Aledmys Diaz Suffers Setback In Rehab

Houston Astros GM Jeff Luhnow told a radio show that infielder Aledmys Diaz suffered a setback in his rehab process. It's unknown how significant the setback is as he works himself back from a hamstring injury that has shelved him since May 27. It was thought that Diaz would return in mid-June as the Astros […]

Travis Shaw On The Pine Versus Lefty

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw is on the bench versus left-hander Steven Brault in Sunday's game against the Pirates. He's 3-for-12 with four strikeouts since his return from the IL earlier this week, and he figures to sit often against southpaws until he gets the bat going. It's been a disappointing year for Shaw […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 11 Waiver Wire

A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

The Cut List (Week 11) - Time to Let Go?

It's June 9, an exciting date to some, because it means another Cut List. (Were you thinking some other reason?)

New weekly reminders: Recommendations in one league size obviously apply to smaller leagues. […]
