Trent Grisham Beginning Rehab Assignment Thursday
San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (hamstring) is leading off and playing center during his first rehab game at Triple-A on Thursday. He has been sidelined with a contusion on his left foot near his heel. It sounds like Grisham is making solid progress, but he should be able to return to the Padres roster […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoCavan Biggio Could Return Over The Weekend
Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio (neck) could possibly return off the injured list over the weekend. The young infielder is expected to join the big league roster for their trip to Boston. It sounds like Biggio could be activated for that series, but should at least be ready by the end of the […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoJ.B. Wendelken To Throw Bullpen Session Friday
Oakland Athletics relief pitcher J.B. Wendelken (oblique) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Friday. He has been sidelined since early May due to a strained left oblique. It wouldn't be shocking to see Wendelken go on a rehab assignment after Friday, assuming everything goes well. Hopefully, the right-hander will be able to […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoKevin Gausman Has Start Pushed Back
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman is scheduled to take the mound on Saturday versus the Washington Nationals. He was supposed to start on Friday, but Thursday's contest has been postponed. Anthony DeSclafani will make the start on Friday, while Gausman and a player to be named later will take the mound on Saturday. […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoMax Scherzer Will Start Friday
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer will have his start moved over to Friday versus the San Francisco Giants. He was scheduled to start on Thursday, but that won't happen with the game being postponed. Erick Fedde should take the mound for one of the games during Saturday's doubleheader. The second starter has not been […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoBeau Burrows Recalled, Rony Garcia Lands On IL
Detroit Tigers pitcher Beau Burrows has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. He will be taking the roster spot of Rony Garcia (knee) who has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Garcia suffered a left knee sprain during warmups on Wednesday. His timetable to return is unknown, but he wasn't exactly an asset in […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoYusei Kikuchi Listed As Saturday's Starter
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) is scheduled to make the start versus the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. He is currently listed as the starter, while Justin Dunn (shoulder) gets back into the mix on Friday. Kikuchi exited early during his last start when he took a comebacker to his knee. It sounds like […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoJ.T. Realmuto Resting On Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine day off, so fantasy managers don't need to worry about a possible injury. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh in this one. He hasn't […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoTravis Shaw Has Been Placed On IL
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He suffered a dislocated left shoulder when diving for a ball during Wednesday's contest. It sounds like the Brewers expect Shaw to miss a significant amount of time. Through 56 games, Shaw is hitting .191/.279/.337 batting line with […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoColin Moran Not In The Lineup Thursday
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was removed during Wednesday's contest after taking a pitch off his hand in the fifth inning. Moran underwent X-rays, but the results have not been announced yet. For the moment, fantasy managers can […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoEvan White Nearing Return
Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) is set to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. He has been sidelined since May 14 due to a hip flexor injury. White is expected to play a few games in Triple-A and hopefully rejoin the big league team early next week. He is slashing […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoTrevor Cahill Activated Thursday
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He missed three weeks of action due to a left calf strain, but wasn't pitching well before that. Cahill has posted a 6.81 ERA through eight starts and could very well end up pitching out of the bullpen. The […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoJoey Gallo Exited Early On Tuesday
Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (groin) was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was removed due to groin tightness during the eighth inning. This is concerning since Gallo is likely going to be the Rangers' biggest trade chip at the deadline. Gallo slapped his 11th home run of […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoScott Alexander Could Be Out Until July
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander (shoulder) could very well miss another month of action. The lefty reliever has been sidelined since early May due to inflammation in his shoulder. The Dodgers are expected to activate Tony Gonsolin on Wednesday, so Alexander might be moved to the 60-day injured list. That would create a […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoSonny Gray To Undergo MRI Wednesday
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (groin) was removed early during his start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Gray exited during the top of the fourth inning due to groin tightness. It's a shame since Gray was pitching well until he was forced to exit. Fantasy managers are going to be need to wait […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoAlex Dickerson Dealing With Minor Injury
San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (back) was pulled out early during Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Dickerson only took one at-bat before exiting due to back tightness. Manager Gabe Kapler mentioned that Dickerson's back issue is not serious and they pulled him out as a precaution. This sounds like a day-to-day type of […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoIan Kennedy Sat Out Tuesday As Precaution
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy (hamstring) was unavailable out of the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He has not pitched since last Friday due to hamstring tightness. It doesn't sound like the team plans on placing Kennedy on the injured list. They'd rather give him a few days to rest […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoZack Littell To Serve As Opener Wednesday
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Zack Littell will serve as the opener for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. He will technically draw the start, but Sam Long will get the bulk of the innings. This will be Long's MLB debut, but the fact Littell is being used as the opener means Long might not […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoScott Kingery Activated, Outrighted To Minors
Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery (concussion) has been activated off the concussion injured list and outrighted to Triple-A. He passed through waivers unclaimed and is now off the 40-man roster. It's unsurprising that Kingery went unclaimed since he has been horrendous with the bat this season. Kingery was given a $24 million extension before making […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoSpencer Turnbull Won't Miss Significant Time
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (forearm) landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. An MRI revealed no structural damage, which is always good news. Sadly, the organization didn't give much of a timetable for his return. On Tuesday, manager A.J. Hinch said he expects Turnbull to miss "a little bit of time, […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoGarrett Cleavinger Looks Sharp During Rehab Outing
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) threw one scoreless inning during his first rehab appearance in Triple-A on Monday. He has been sidelined for a few weeks due to left forearm inflammation. Cleavinger only saw six innings of work with the Dodgers before going down due to injury. Hopefully, Cleavinger will be back […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoDillon Thomas To Join Mariners On Tuesday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas has been recalled from the minors and will join the big league team on Tuesday. The 28-year signed a minor league deal with the team over the offseason. He is hitting .338/.459/.625 to go along with six homers and four steals over 25 games in Triple-A this season. It's uncertain […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoGeorge Valera Activated, Returns To Double-A
Cleveland Indians outfielder George Valera (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. The 20-year-old outfielder was sidelined for roughly a month, but will return to Double-A Lake County. He is currently the No. 93 prospect in the game by MLB Pipeline. However, Valera has struggled during his short stint in Double-A this season. […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoMax Fried Tosses Solid Outing Versus Dodgers
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried was smacked around during his last outing, but did turn it around on Sunday. He threw six innings, six hits allowed, one earned run, and four walks in the victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It wasn't a perfect outing, but Fried was holding his own out there. The […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoDane Dunning Throws Five Scoreless Innings
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning looked sharp during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He tossed five scoreless innings, three hits allowed, two walks, and six strikeouts. Somehow, the Rangers managed to lose 7-1, but you can thank the Rangers' bullpen for that one. Dunning will carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoJakob Junis Optioned To Minors
Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis has been optioned to Triple-A to free up a roster spot for Jackson Kowar. This shouldn't surprise anyone with Junis posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 35/11 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings. He was already pulled out of the rotation, so Junis was the odd man out […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoJackson Kowar To Make MLB Debut Monday
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jackson Kowar is scheduled to make the start against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. The young starter will make his MLB debut after posting a 0.85 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 41/10 K/BB ratio over 31 2/3 innings of work in Triple-A this season. The fact he has been this […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoAustin Voth Suffers Broken Nose On Sunday
Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth (nose) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He suffered a broken nose when getting hit in the face by a pitch. It sounds like he'll remain in Philly to have his nose reset before rejoining the team. The Nationals have not announced a timetable […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoNick Maton Optioned To Triple-A
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Nick Maton has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. It is a bit of an odd move considering the organization didn't announce a corresponding move along with Maton to the minors. He slashed .255/.296/.373 with a pair of homers, and eight RBI during his first stint in the MLB. Maton didn't offer […]
Andy Webb 3 years agoKhris Davis Scratched On Sunday
Texas Rangers designated hitter Khris Davis (illness) has been scratched from Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It doesn't sound like it's COVID-19 related, so Davis is likely just feeling under the weather. Nick Solak will be the designated hitter, while Charlie Culberson starts at second base in this one. Solak has some deep […]
