Justin Upton Working Way Out Of Slump

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton smacked a three-run home run in the Angels 8-4 loss against the Reds on Tuesday. Upton has been scuffling at the plate lately, stuck in a 2-for-24 slump and is slugging only .308 over his last 52 at-bats. It has been an injury-riddled season for the veteran slugger, battling […]

Cubs Sign Jonathan Lucroy

The Chicago Cubs have signed catcher Jonathan Lucroy. Lucroy was recently designated for assignment by the Angels and will provide the Cubs with a veteran presence behind the plate with Willson Contreras (hamstring) sidelined for a month.

Griffin Canning To Throw Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning (elbow) is scheduled to throw on Tuesday. Canning was placed on the injured list on August 4 with elbow inflammation so the fact he is already throwing is a good sign for him and his fantasy owners. Still, with the Angels out of playoff contention, the Angels figure […]

Kole Calhoun Sits Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Calhoun has actually struggled more against right-handed pitchers this season, so he'll sit this one out. Brian Goodwin will cover right field and bat third versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. Goodwin has been great with the […]

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin went 1-for-4 with one run scored in the Angels 6-2 loss to the Indians.

Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon.
