Monday's game between the Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles has been postponed as the Marlins have announced a total of 12 players and two managers have tested positive for COVID-19.

The Early Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome back to the Cut List. Writing this column at this exact moment is an interesting exercise because most cuts are either: really obvious, on account of a player opting out of the season or an injury that will cost several weeks; or the opposite of obvious, on account of no one has played more […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 2

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Willson Contreras Goes Deep On Sunday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras hit his first home run of the year on Sunday. Overall in the game, he went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, two runs and two RBI. Contreras is an elite fantasy catcher who will give his fantasy owners a strong advantage at the position throughout much of the season. […]

Mitch Garver Gets Day Off On Sunday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver will get the day off on Sunday in the final game of the series against the Chicago White Sox. The 29-year-old said earlier in summer camp that he'd like to catch 40-45 games in the shortened season, so that will mean rest days here and there. In two games so […]

Willians Astudillo Cleared To Rejoin Twins

Minnesota Twins catcher Willians Astudillo (COVID-19) has been cleared to rejoin the team. He will first report to the team's alternate squad in St. Paul.

Salvador Perez Goes Yard On Saturday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez hit his first home run of the season in the first inning of Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire took Pete Fairbanks deep in the seventh inning for his first home run of the season in the team's 4-1 loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Tucker Barnhart Placed On Paternity List

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart will have to wait to begin his 2020 season as he was placed on the paternity list prior to first pitch Sunday. Curt Casali will assume full-time catching duties for the Reds in Barnhart’s absence, but utilityman Kyle Farmer figures to factor in as well. To take Barnhart’s spot on […]

Marc Gasol Returning To Action Sunday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (rest) did not suit up for Friday's scrimmage. However, he'll be back on the court for Sunday's meaningless contest. Head coach Nick Nurse decided to give the veteran big man a routine rest day. Chris Boucher is going to lose most of his fantasy value with Gasol healthy and back […]

Richaun Holmes Remains Out Saturday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes won't suit up for Saturday's scrimmage against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to work on his conditioning after being quarantined due to breaking protocol. Harry Giles should see extra minutes coming his way until Holmes is ready to get back into action. Holmes should be ready in time for the […]

Yasmani Grandal Will Sit On Saturday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal is absent from Saturday’s lineup versus the Minnesota Twins. Grandal went 0-for-3 in his White Sox debut on Friday, but it’s surprising to see that he will already be sitting out the second game. James McCann will replace Grandal in the lineup and is batting eighth versus Twins starter […]
