Jeimer Candelario Leaves Game Early

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (spine) left the game early on Tuesday with a lumbar spine spasm. Candelario had a walk and a strikeout in his four plate appearances on Tuesday before departing the contest. At this point in the season, an injury like that could keep him from playing another game. It'll depend […]

Travis Shaw Injured Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) left the game early on Tuesday with a bruised right knee after he was hit by a pitch. Shaw scored a run in his lone plate appearance before leaving the game. It's unknown how serious this injury is, but hopefully for Shaw owners he won't need to miss much […]

Nick Senzel To Play Outfield In Instructional League

Cincinnati Reds prospect Nick Senzel (finger), the team's top prospect, played second base at Triple-A Louisville this year, shortstop in big league spring training and is in Arizona this week to learn the outfield during the instructional league. The 23-year-old will play in games starting on Oct. 1, and the Reds envision him playing a […]

Angels Recall Sherman Johnson

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled infielder Sherman Johnson. To make room on the active roster, they have added starter Nick Tropeano (shoulder) to the 60-day DL. Tropeano was not expected to pitch again this season, so this has no bearing on his status. Johnson, 28, has been in LA's system since 2012. He will […]

Wil Myers is Out of the Lineup Tuesday

San Diego Padres third baseman Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Myers will receive a rest day after playing in six straight games. Cory Spangenberg will play third base and bat eighth versus lefty Derek Holland. Fantasy owners can go ahead and avoid Spangenberg […]

Eugenio Suarez is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Suarez is hitless over his last three games, so he'll get the day off on Tuesday. Brandon Dixon will draw the start at third base and bat eighth versus righty Chase Anderson. Dixon can be […]

Renato Nunez is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Renato Nunez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This will be a routine off day for Nunez after making five consecutive starts. Steve Wilkerson will bat eighth and play third base versus righty Aaron Sanchez. Wilkerson is not worth adding in fantasy […]

Andrew Benintendi, Rafael Devers Sitting on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) and third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Both left-handed hitters will take a rest day versus the left-handed starter. Brandon Phillips will play third base and bat sixth, while Brock Holt will play left field […]

Edwin Encarnacion Will Return Wednesday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (ankle), who tweaked his ankle on Saturday, is fine and will be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Third baseman Josh Donaldson will also start back-to-back games for the first time with the team on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Indians have no reason to rush Encarnacion with the […]

Miguel Sano Returns Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday, playing third base and hitting seventh against Tigers starter Daniel Norris. Sano was out for two weeks, but he can provide those in deep mixed and AL-only leagues with power the rest of the way. It's been a disappointing season […]

Alex Bregman In 3-For-23 Skid

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman will look to shake loose of a 3-for-23 slump when the Astros play the Mariners at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday. It was only a matter of time before the hottest hitter in the game cooled off at the plate but he still is an MVP candidate with two weeks […]

Kyle Seager Takes Seven-Game Hitting Streak Into Tuesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager will look to extend his hitting streak to eight games when the Mariners play the Astros on Tuesday. It has been an awful season for Seager but is on a nice run right now and is 9-for-26 (.346) during the streak. What's been even more encouraging is that four […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 25

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Eugenio Suarez Continues Slumping Monday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez has hit a rough patch in his season. The veteran went 0-for-4 on Monday with two strikeouts in his team's 8-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Suarez is now hitting just .190 with one homer, four runs, and one RBI over the past two weeks. Overall, it has been […]

J.P. Crawford Hits Big Triple In Loss

Starting at shortstop once again, Philadelphia Phillies infielder J.P. Crawford managed just one hit in three plate appearances, but it was a major one. In the fifth inning, with the Phillies trailing four runs to none, the 23-year-old stepped up with the bases loaded and drilled a three-run triple, pulling the club to within a […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Injures Calf Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) suffered a Grade 1 strain of his left calf on Monday and will be evaluated on Tuesday. Cabrera was hitless in three plate appearances before leaving this game. While a Grade 1 strain is the least severe, this could still end his season with not many games left. Cabrera […]

Brandon Drury Doubtful To Return This Year

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Brandon Drury (hand) is "doubtful" to return before the end of the season despite ditching his removable brace. He will begin hitting and fielding in the near future, and the Blue Jays are hoping to make his offseason a normal one. It's been a lost season for Drury, who has played […]

Maikel Franco Expected To Return In 3-4 Days

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (shoulder) is still sore from falling into the camera well last week while attempting to make a catch in foul territory, but he is making progress and has been hitting in the cages. Franco is expected to be ready to play again in three to four days. He's been […]

J.P. Crawford is Starting on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford is playing shortstop and batting eighth against righty Zack Wheeler on Monday. Scott Kingery (rest) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. Maikel Franco (shoulder, neck) is sidelined as well, so Asdrubal Cabrera will play third base in the meantime. That means Kingery and Crawford could […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Remains in the Lineup on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera remains in the starting lineup for the third straight game on Monday. Maikel Franco (shoulder, neck) is out for the fifth consecutive game on Monday. Cabrera will bat third and play third base against righty Zack Wheeler. Cabrera has not been great with the bat lately, but he's worth a […]

Miguel Sano Could Return Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is available off the bench on Monday and could start at third base on Tuesday, according to manager Paul Molitor. Sano hasn't played since Sept. 4. He's been a massive fantasy disappointment in 2018, hitting .202/.285/.405 with 13 home runs and 41 RBI after slugging a career-high 28 […]

Johan Camargo Back In Braves Lineup

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo (groin) is back in the starting lineup on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Camargo has been sidelined since last Tuesday.

David Fletcher Could Miss Rest Of Season

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (hamstring) will be evaluated on Monday after leaving the game early on Sunday with a left hamstring strain, but manager Mike Scioscia isn't optimistic about Fletcher's chances of returning this year with limited games left. The rookie had a double in his only plate appearances on Sunday and pulled […]
