Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Gonzalez was spiked on Tuesday, but was able to avoid any serious injury. He'll sit out a game or two, but reportedly is available off the bench for Wednesday's contest.

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has had quite a few days. First, he broke the Mets franchise record for walk-off hits when he beat the Philadelphia Phillies with a home run on Monday. Since then, Flores has stayed hot with two doubles in each of his last two games. While this is apt to […]

Maikel Franco Continues Torrid July

Nobody on the Philadelphia Phillies has gotten off to a better start in July than third baseman Maikel Franco. Perhaps motivated by rumors that the Phillies were seeking someone at his position before the trade deadline, the 25-year-old is hitting .409 this month. The hot streak reached new heights on Tuesday against the New York […]

Bobby Dalbec Homers Twice At High-A Salem

Boston Red Sox third base prospect Bobby Dalbec hit two homers with five RBI Tuesday. He was also perfect at the plate going 4-for-4 and logged a stolen base as well. Dalbec has been on a tear in the month of July, hitting .486 with 6 homers. This is a name to remember in dynasty […]

Marwin Gonzalez Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez (elbow, wrist) is day-to-day with a bruised left wrist and left elbow, according to the team.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) is expected to be activated off the disabled list and be in the starting lineup on Wednesday. He had been on the DL with a shoulder injury since June 23. Bryant is hitting .280 with nine home runs and 36 RBI in 2018. He'll be a huge boost to […]

Josh Donaldson Resumes Running

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) has resumed baseball activities and is doing his running progression with no symptoms. There is still no timetable for his return, and he certainly won't be back before the All-Star break. He's been a bust for fantasy owners with just five homers and 16 RBI in 36 […]

Tyler Saladino Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting the day off Monday. Saladino will bat fifth against Marlins' rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez.

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado is out of the lineup on Tuesday for a routine day of rest. He'll be replaced by Miguel Rojas who is batting sixth. Rojas is hitting .262 with seven home runs, 32 RBI and six stolen bases in 2018. Usually it's never smart to target a Marlin not named […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Nearing Return

Toronto Blue Jays phenom third base prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. should be nearing a return from a strained left patellar tendon, and when he does he will likely be promoted to Triple-A Buffalo soon. Guerrero has been out since early June, but has kicked things up recently with more baseball activities and is going to […]

Clint Frazier Sitting On Tuesday Against Orioles

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier will sit against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. It's worth noting that he struck out five times in Monday's doubleheader.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario is back in the lineup on Tuesday after sitting on Monday with an illness. He's batting leadoff against Ryne Stanek and the Rays. Candelario is hitting .228 with 12 home runs and 33 RBI. As long as he's batting leadoff for the Tigers he's worth using in fantasy leagues.

Hunter Dozier Wearing Out Welcome

The Kansas City Royals promoted first baseman/third baseman Hunter Dozier to take over for Lucas Duda while he was on the disabled list, but as the rebuild became clearer, they've hung on to the rookie and given him lots of at-bats so they can see what the future holds. Apparently, the future holds a terrible […]

Mike Moustakas Slumping Before Deadline

Kansas City Royals third baseman/first baseman Mike Moustakas is bearing down on the obvious time that he's going to be traded, but his current slump isn't going to help his team get a nice return. Moose is just 3-for-26 over his last six games, and the rumors are flying that KC isn't going to get […]

Niko Goodrum Contributes Two Hits, Three RBI

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum did his part as the Tigers rallied back multiple times against the Rays before eventually falling in extras. The rookie middle-infielder had two doubles and three RBI on the night, raising his season average to .253 and his RBI total to 30. Goodrum has been a nice surprise after […]
