Michael Perez will catch and […]

Tyler Naquin Out Of Lineup For Fourth Straight Game

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (ribs) is not in the starting lineup for a fourth straight game after exiting Saturday's game early with bruised ribs. He is still day-to-day at this point.

Hampson is slashing .243/.298/.400 this season with 11 HRs and 17 SBs over 135 games. However, he has just a .636 OPS against righties this season, so with righty Ian Anderson on the mound, […]

Ji-Man Choi Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi is absent from Wednesday's lineup to take on the Toronto Blue Jays. Choi is slashing .242/.349/.434 with 10 HRs over 70 games, making him a good player in OBP leagues specifically.

The 23-year old rookie is slashing .250/.306/.425, but does provide power and speed with 15 HRs and 21 SBs in 107 games. Chisholm Jr. isn't a top fantasy second baseman but offers good value at […]

Detroit Tigers catcher/outfielder Eric Haase is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to MLB.com. Haase has been a nice addition to the Tigers offense this season, slashing .233/.287/.482 with 21 HRs, 55 RBI, 44 runs, and two stolen bases over 85 games.

David Peralta Getting A Rest Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta will take a seat on Monday against Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Peralta owns just a .691 OPS off of lefties this season, so it wouldn't be a good matchup. On the year, he's slashing .263/.327/.414 with eight home runs and two stolen bases over 133 games. He's […]

Pavin Smith Out Of Monday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Pavin Smith is sitting for the second consecutive game Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jorge Alfaro Leaves Early Saturday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro exited Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the ninth inning after aggravating something on the base paths.
