Gunnar Henderson Exits Early Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson (back) left Tuesday's matchup with the Philadelphia Phillies prematurely after experiencing lower back discomfort, according to Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. The rookie has been fantastic this season over 90 games, slashing .244/.340/.472 with 16 homers, 54 runs, 43 RBI, and five steals. Hopefully, he isn't out long-term, and fantasy managers […]

Zach Neto Scratched Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels rookie shortstop Zach Neto (back) said he felt good enough to play on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, but manager Phil Nevin made the call to scratch him. Nevin said he'd be surprised if Neto didn't play on Wednesday. Neto missed the final two games of the weekend series against the Pittsburgh […]

Dodgers Acquiring Enrique Hernandez From Red Sox

The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, according to sources. It's unclear what the Dodgers are sending Boston in return.

Zach Neto Back In Leadoff Spot For Angels

Los Angeles Angels rookie shortstop Zach Neto (back) is back at shortstop and batting leadoff for the Angels in the series opener on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.

Javier Baez Back In The Starting Lineup Tuesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's series opener versus Los Angeles Angels right-hander Griffin Canning.

Pirates Bringing Up Alika Williams

The Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing up middle-infield prospect Alika Williams from the minors on Tuesday. The 37th overall pick in the 2020 draft was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Robert Stephenson trade, and he had been killing it at Triple-A Indianapolis with a .305 batting average (39-for-128) with seven home runs, eight […]

Tucupita Marcano Suffers Knee Injury Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Tucupita Marcano left Monday's 8-4 win over the San Diego Padres early after suffering a "ligamentous injury" in his right knee, according to Jason Mackey of the Post-Gazette.

Zach Neto Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (back) is absent from the lineup on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No baseball player is hotter than Edouard Julien this month, yet he remains widely available in fantasy.
