Chase De Jong Starting Versus Rockies

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chase De Jong has been recalled from the minors on Sunday. He will make the start against the Colorado Rockies, but fantasy managers shouldn't get excited.

J.D. Martinez Gets Rest Day

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Miami Marlins. This sounds like a routine day off for the 33-year-old slugger.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Monday.

Minnesota is hopeful that they […]

Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro (Achilles) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive May 25. The veteran backstop has played surprisingly well for Houston this season.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Johan Oviedo has been recalled from the minors ahead of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The young right-hander has struggled during his time in St. Louis this season. He is posting a 5.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 13/9 K/BB ratio over 15 2/3 innings. It's uncertain if this will […]

Cody Bellinger To Be Activated Before Saturday's Game

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (leg) will be activated ahead of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Oakland Athletics pitcher A.J. Puk (bicep) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Friday. The young left-hander has been optioned to Triple-A, following his stint on the injured list.

Michael Brantley Placed On Injured List

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He has not played all week due to a lingering hamstring issue. It appears the team is going to give him a few extra days off. Robel Garcia was recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. Houston is likely going […]

Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago will have his contract purchased from Triple-A on Thursday. The veteran left-handed pitcher last made an appearance with the White Sox and New York Mets in 2019. He posted a 6.68 ERA over 19 appearances, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Santiago. He'll likely move into the Mariners bullpen […]

George Springer Does Outfield Drills On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quad) was able to get through some outfield drills on Thursday. Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said this was the best that Springer has felt since injuring his quad. He has only appeared in four games with the team this season, so hopefully Springer won't be sidelined for too […]

Nick Castellanos Sitting Out Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos (rest) is sitting out of Thursday's seven inning matchup against the Washington Nationals.

Naquin won't be a reliable […]

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Wade Miley (foot) is expected to take the mound against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, according to manager David Bell. Miley has been on the injured list since May 20, but it appears he's ready to return. Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) is likely going to miss significant time, so Miley should slide […]

Jeff Hoffman Won't Need Surgery

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) was recently placed on the 10-day injured list. However, Reds manager David Bell did mention on Thursday that Hoffman will not require surgery on his shoulder. Sadly, the shoulder issue is likely going to keep the young right-hander sidelined for a while. The former top prospect has struggled […]

Trevor Story Exits Due To Injury

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (arm) was pulled out of Thursday's game against the New York Mets. The young stud infielder is expected to be one of the bigger names available at the trade deadline. It appears he was removed due to arm tightness, so hopefully it's nothing long term. He was replaced by Raimel […]

Daniel Robertson Leaves Early Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Daniel Robertson (calf) was unable to get through Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was able to collect one hit in two at-bats before departing from the game. Kolten Wong subbed into the game at second base and will likely start there this weekend, assuming Robertson misses time. There should […]

Garrett Cooper Scratched Due To Injury Concerns

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (oblique) was scratched from Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Cooper is dealing with oblique tightness, but the team states that he is sitting as a precaution. Adam Duvall moved into the starting lineup and could see a few starts, assuming Cooper sits out a few games. Cooper has […]

Josh James Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Houston Astros pitcher Josh James (hip) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. The young righty pitcher has not been able to take the mound this season due to a lingering hip issue. Houston is hopeful that James will be able to get on the mound around June. At first glance, James […]

Jason Vosler Joins Giants Roster

San Francisco Giants infielder Jason Vosler has been recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday. It sounds like Vosler will take the place on Brandon Belt (oblique) who landed on the 10-day injured list. Vosler should get his share of at-bats while Belt is sidelined, but he has struggled at the plate. Honestly, it doesn't sound like […]

Jose Urena Exits Early On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jose Urena (forearm) was unable to get through his start against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday.
