Jurickson Profar Placed On The 7-Day Concussion IL

San Diego Padres infielder Jurickson Profar (concussion, neck) was placed on the 7-day concussion list on Friday. He was involved in a scary collision with his teammate C.J.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.

The 23-year-old […]

Carlos Correa To Play On Friday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Correa appears ready to play after sitting out each of the last two days.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead. That also means my favorite lefty fireballer Shane McClanahan (and also the surging Luis Castillo) are not on the main slate, but we […]

Miguel Vargas Makes Futures Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infield prospect Miguel Vargas has made the Futures Game roster. It's no surprise with Vargas performing at an elite level for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The infielder has been adding to his versatility lately with action in left field and that could help ascend him to a stacked Dodgers big-league roster at some […]

Elly De La Cruz Named To Futures Game

Cincinnati Reds shortstop/third base prospect Elly De La Cruz had himself a day in a doubleheader for High-A Dayton on Thursday. One of the top infield prospects in the game, De La Cruz played shortstop in Game 1 and went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs. In Game 2, the 20-year-old suited up at […]

Updated MLB Prospects Rankings - Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects (Week 13)

We are back for another week of our fantasy baseball prospects rankings series, reviewing MLB prospects to make fantasy impacts in 2022.

Ha-Seong Kim Dealing With Thumb Issue

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (thumb) is dealing with a minor thumb issue that has caused him to be out of the lineup for the team's previous two games. He sustained his thumb injury on Monday, but the injury isn't considered serious as the 26-year-old is expected to return soon. Kim is slashing .233/.322/.356 […]

Luis Garcia Leaves Early Thursday

Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia (side) left the game early on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies after he was seen wincing in pain and holding his left side after he grounded out. Garcia went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in the game before leaving, and he was replaced at shortstop by Ehire Adrianza. It remains to […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Working Out Thursday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) is taking grounders and swings on Thursday to determine his availability moving forward. Manager Mike Matheny said the scans on Witt's hand on Wednesday all came back clear, so he's currently considered day-to-day after being hit by a pitch on the right hand on Tuesday. The […]

Jeremy Pena Scratched From Lineup Thursday

Houston Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday due to "health and safety protocols," according to the team. Pena hasn't been placed on the COVID-19 injured list, and it remains to be seen if he's sick at all or even if he tested positive for the virus, so fantasy […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Remains Out Thursday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) remains out of the starting lineup against the Houston Astros on Thursday. Witt was hit on the right hand by a pitch on Tuesday and hasn't played since, but X-rays came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day for now. The 22-year-old is one of the most […]

Eguy Rosario Displaying Power In Triple-A

San Diego Padres infield prospect Eguy Rosario signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2015 and has slowly but surely climbed through the minor league ranks ever since. Now 22, Rosario is best known for his strong arm and good defensive instincts, which have allowed him to see reps at third base, shortstop, and second […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 13

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Carlos Correa Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. Correa will take a normal day of rest after going hitless in his last four games.
