Tarik Skubal Starts Tuesday's Game Vs. Pittsburgh After All

Updating a previous report, Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal started Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was initially a late scratch and would have his start pushed back to Wednesday due to inclement weather. The 25-year-old ended up making his start. Hopefully, fantasy managers left him in their starting lineups for season-long leagues after […]

Tarik Skubal Scratched On Tuesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal has been scratched as the starter for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The forecast isn't great, so the Tigers don't want to risk a short outing from their best starting pitcher. Right-hander Wily Peralta will make the start on Tuesday. Skubal will move back and make the start […]

Jeimer Candelario To IL, Austin Meadows Activated

The Detroit Tigers placed infielder Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation and reinstated outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Catcher Waiver Wire Targets for Fantasy Baseball: ROS Strategy and Landscape

Every year we hear about how awful the catcher landscape is in fantasy baseball. People bemoan having to roster one and laugh at those who play in leagues where they have to carry two.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) left Sunday's contest against the Yankees early after sustaining a left shoulder injury.

He has missed […]

Week 9 Fantasy Baseball Injury News Updates: Tim Anderson, Wander Franco, Jean Segura, Royce Lewis, Brandon Woodruff, Sonny Gray

June is here and so is the warmer weather which usually means more offense, as most of us fantasy players hope. The dog days of summer are just around the corner and with it a soon-to-be last chance to salvage our fantasy seasons or a chance to pull away and win your leagues. This is […]

Spencer Torkelson Sitting Out On Saturday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is sitting out on Saturday vs. the New York Yankees. This looks to just be a routine day off for the rookie, who's slashing a solid .304/.360/.391 over his last seven games (23 at-bats) but has struggled overall this year. Torkelson is still hitting below the Mendoza Line with […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/4/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We had yet another very high-scoring slate on Friday night, which was probably to be expected with some aces on the hill and some really good offenses with good match-ups, too. If your lineups are scoring a bunch of points and you're still only min-cashing, don't fret! You're in good company because I have had […]

Matt Manning To Visit A Specialist On Monday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (bicep) is scheduled to visit a specialist on Monday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The 24-year-old was pulled during his last rehab start due to bicep tendinitis. The fact that the right-hander will need to see a specialist is not good news for fantasy managers. He could be looking […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Sometimes you just have to load up on the Coors Field game and sometimes you just fade it. Last night, I hope you played the chalky Braves because they ended up hanging 13 on Colorado, while the Rockies still managed to score six in defeat. We have another Coors game on this 12-game slate, but […]

Gregory Soto Records His 10th Save On Thursday

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Gregory Soto earned his 10th saves of the year on Thursday as he closed out the team's 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Eduardo Rodriguez Could Begin Rehab Assignment Next Week

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (rib cage), who has been on the injured list since May 22 with a left rib-cage sprain, is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week for Triple-A Toledo.

Tyler Alexander Will Return As Reliever

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tyler Alexander (elbow), who is close to returning from a left elbow sprain that put him on the injured list on May 2, will return as a multi-inning reliever. "Watching the video the other day," manager A.J. Hinch said, "(pitching coach Chris Fetter) and I were talking about how getting him more […]

Austin Meadows Could Return Next Week

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) won't return for the weekend series against the New York Yankees, but it sounds like he could be activated from the injured list for the short series against the Pittsburgh Pirates from June 7-8. "Getting back into baseball was a little funny for him just because he had hardly […]

Javier Baez Receiving Another Day Off

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins.

Tarik Skubal Strikes Out Six In Wednesday's Win
