Setting Up Nathaniel Lowe's Return

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi has been a fairly solid hitter so far but has lacked the power of a typical corner infielder. There are no indications from the team about calling up Nathaniel Lowe, but it seems like it could be a possibility sooner than later. Through 31 games in Triple-A this […]

Angels-Twins Postponed Thursday

The game between the Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins on Wednesday was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up on Thursday, with Angels starter Matt Harvey and Twins hurler Martin Perez likely being pushed back until then. Hopefully you were able to get any players on these teams out of […]

Shohei Ohtani Not Playing Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Ohtani was forced from the game early when he was hit by a pitch on his finger, but he played on Tuesday. He should be fine moving forward. Mike Trout is serving as the designated hitter and will hit second […]

Miguel Cabrera Is Hot At The Dish Despite Lack Of Power

Detroit Tigers first baseman and designated hitter Miguel Cabrera has been hot for the last week, slashing .438/.500/.563 with two doubles and three RBI in 16 at-bats. Miggy has just one home run on the season, which he has attributed to lack of lineup protection, but despite his lack of power he's still finding ways […]

Mitch Moreland Homers Tuesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland hit a solo home run on Tuesday in the Sox loss to the Blue Jays. Although it’s only been a week, Moreland’s bat has cooled off a bit from the beginning of the month. Still, he’s been one of the Red Sox biggest producers this year. He’s doing […]

Khris Davis Will Go On Injured List

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that outfielder Khris Davis (hip) will go on the injured list with a hip contusion. Davis has been in and out of the lineup ever since his hip injury on May 5, although he's hit .346 (9-for-26) with two homers and three RBI since then. While it's bad news […]

Nelson Cruz Hits In Cage Tuesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz hit in the cage on Tuesday and plans to participate in batting practice on Wednesday as he recovers from a wrist injury. Cruz has been out of action since May 14 and is hoping to return to the lineup when first eligible this Friday. The veteran slugger has seven […]

Matt Beaty Hitting Leadoff Against Rays

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Matt Beaty is serving as the designated hitter and is in the leadoff spot on Tuesday against the Rays on the road. Beaty has three hits in his first eight big league at-bats with one RBI. Tampa will use an opener and Jalen Beeks will follow on Tuesday. Beaty will […]

Shin-Soo Choo is Resting on Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This is probably a smart decision by Texas with left-hander Tommy Milone on the mound. Hunter Pence will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup on Tuesday. Pence is worth a look as a cheap […]

Shohei Ohtani Back On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (hand) is the DH and is batting third on Tuesday against Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda after leaving the game early on Monday after being hit by a pitch. X-rays came back negative on Ohtani's hand, so he's right back in the lineup on Tuesday evening. His power/speed […]

Khris Davis Returns on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Davis has been dealing with a lingering hip issue, but it appears he'll try and play on Tuesday. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Trevor Bauer. Hopefully Davis is finally […]

Shohei Ohtani Throwing Four Times A Week

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow), who is recovering from Tommy John surgery last October, is now throwing four times a week instead of three times. However, he still won't pitch at all in 2019 and is only throwing on flat ground and not at full intensity. In 48 at-bats this year, Ohtani […]

Daniel Vogelbach Goes Way Back For 14th Bomb

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach kept his tremendous power stroke going on Monday belting his 14th homer of the season. This knock was of the two-run variety as he finished the game going 2-for-2 with a pair of runs replacing Ryon Healy halfway through the game who left with an injury. Vogelbach is now […]

Khris Davis is Dealing with Discomfort

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) was held out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles. Davis said that he continues to deal with discomfort in his hip. He suffered the injury on May 5, but the pain continues to linger. The Athletics do not plan to place Davis on the […]

Shohei Ohtani Hitting Third Against Twins

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will hit third Monday night against the Twins. Ohtani will be looking to shake loose from a 3-for-17 (.176) weekend at the plate and is slashing .267/.353/.400 through his first 45 at-bats this season. Ohtani only has two extra-base hits this season but has eight runs batted in […]

J.D. Martinez Sitting Monday, Steve Pearce Will DH

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D Martinez will get Monday off, against the Toronto Blue Jays. In his place, Steve Pearce will DH and bat seventh against right-hander Edwin Jackson. Pearce simply hasn't been good in 72 plate appearances this year, slashing just .121/.183/.152 with two doubles and four runs batted in, leaving him off […]

Khris Davis Returns to the Lineup on Sunday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Davis did not play in Saturday's contest due to left hip soreness. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus lefty Gregory Soto. This is a great fantasy matchup for Davis, so DFS […]

Khris Davis A Late Scratch Saturday

The Oakland Athletics made a late change to their lineup Saturday scratching designated hitter Khris Davis. He was initially slated to bat cleanup versus Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd but will instead tend to his lingering hip issue that's forced him from the lineup of late. It appears as a precautionary move for the scuffling A's […]

Hunter Pence is Resting on Saturday

Texas Rangers designated hitter Hunter Pence (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran outfielder will get a routine day off here. Willie Calhoun will draw the start in left field and bat second, while Shin-Soo Choo will leadoff and bat first versus righty Dakota Hudson. […]

Kendrys Morales is Sitting Out on Saturday

New York Yankees designated hitter Kendrys Morales (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Morales hit his first home run on the Yankees during Friday's contest. The Yankees are banged up at the moment, so Morales actually has some fantasy value despite his recent struggles with the […]

Nelson Cruz Hopes To Return Next Friday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) is hoping to return from the injured list next Friday, May 24, when he's eligible to return. It's a sore wrist that sent Cruz to the injured list, but the move was more of a precaution with the long season in mind more than anything. The 38-year-old was […]

Nelson Cruz Placed On Injured List

The Minnesota Twins placed designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a sore left wrist and recalled second baseman Luis Arraez from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Cruz missed the last five games after aggravating his left wrist on Saturday, but an MRI exam showed no serious damage. […]

Rowdy Tellez is Sitting Out on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Rowdy Tellez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This appears to be a routine day off for the lefty slugger. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will bat second and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Dylan Covey. This could make for an […]

Yandy Diaz Leaves Game With Ankle Discomfort

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz was removed from Wednesday’s game in the seventh inning due to ankle discomfort after rolling it rounding third base. He’s considered day-to-day for now and the Rays hope to have him back in the lineup on Friday against the Yankees. Diaz has cooled off from the beginning of […]

Shohei Ohtani Adds Three Hits In Loss

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani went 3-for-4 with one RBI in the Angels 4-3 loss to the Twins on Tuesday. After a slow start since returning to the lineup, Ohtani now is 7-for-12 (.583) over his last three games with one home run and four runs batted in. The recent surge has his […]

Kendrys Morales Traded To Yankees

The New York Yankees have traded for Oakland Athletics designated hitter Kendrys Morales and cash considerations in exchange for a player-to-be-named or cash, the Yankees announced Tuesday night. Morales was designated for assignment Monday. He had no place on the A's roster with the recent return of Matt Olson, combined with only a .204 average, […]

Ryan Braun is Back on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Braun had missed three straight games due to hamstring soreness and came off the bench on Monday for a pinch-hit appearance. He'll bat third and play left field versus Jerad Eickhoff on Tuesday. Braun was hot […]

Nelson Cruz Remains Out on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The MRI on his wrist came back negative, so Cruz shouldn't land on the injured list. The Twins are likely just giving him a few more days off to rest. Willians Astudillo will serve […]

Shohei Ohtani Gets Another Start At DH

Los Angeles Angels Shohei Ohtani will serve as the designated hitter and will hit third against right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Twins on Wednesday. Ohtani is back in the lineup after going 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in the Angels win on Tuesday. Ohtani is slowly being worked back into the mix and is […]

Jorge Soler Expected To Become Main DH

The Kansas City Royals are making a big move, and it will push outfielder Jorge Soler into the main designated hitter role. The Royals are calling up their top second base prospect, Nicky Lopez, and that's going to shuffle a few guys around. One of those moves is that Whit Merrifield will move to right […]
