Tue Aug 3 202122:29Andrew Benintendi Suffers Shoulder StrainAndrew BenintendiLFWhite Sox
Updating an earlier report, Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi (shoulder) exited Tuesday's game with a left shoulder strain, according to Lynn Worthy of the Kansas City Star. It's very possible that this injury could land him on the injured list, but managers should look for further updates after Tuesday's game. He's been a solid option in deeper formats this season, slashing .259/.307/.415 with 11 homers, seven steals, 38 RBI and 41 runs scored over 79 games. While he's out, expect Jarrod Dyson to see more playing time.

Tue Aug 3 202121:30Andrew Benintendi Exits With Apparent InjuryAndrew BenintendiLFWhite Sox
Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi (shoulder) exited Tuesday's game with an apparent shoulder injury, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Benintendi injured himself while sliding into second base, and was seen holding his left shoulder as he walked off the field, with Jarrod Dyson entering the game as a pinch-runner. There's no word on the type of injury or severity, so for now managers should consider him day-to-day and look for updates on his condition later in the evening.

Tue Aug 3 202117:31Josh Donaldson To Miss Another Game TuesdayJosh Donaldson3BYankees
Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds. Donaldson tested out his injured hamstring but still felt tightness and will miss his fourth contest, though he will be available as a pinch hitter. Luis Arraez will start at third base and bat fifth for Minnesota against Reds' righty Tyler Mahle. Arraez should see some RBI chances from that slot in the lineup, but his limited power makes him a less favorable play than others in DFS realms.

Tue Aug 3 202110:47Shohei Ohtani Starting WednesdayShohei OhtaniDH/SPAngels
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (thumb) will start on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic. Ohtani hasn't been on the mound since July 26 because of a sore thumb but has continued appearing in the lineup as the designated hitter. It's good news for fantasy managers that he won't need an IL stint, as he's been very good on the pitching side of things this season. He's 5-1 with a 3.04 ERA, 30.1 K%, and a 10.8 BB% across 80 innings of work.

Mon Aug 2 202123:54Cedric Mullins Homers, Swipes Two Bags MondayCedric MullinsCFOrioles
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins played a big part in Monday's 7-1 win over the Yankees. Mullins went 2-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, a strikeout, and two stolen bases. The 26-year-old All-Star has done it all this season, slashing .322/.385/.549 with 18 HR, 37 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. He has been a huge fantasy value and should be in fantasy managers' lineups at all times.

Mon Aug 2 202118:22Shohei Ohtani Throws Bullpen Session On MondayShohei OhtaniDH/SPAngels
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (thumb) threw a bullpen session on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of the Southern California News Group reported. Angels manager Joe Maddon said Ohtani could potentially start on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers if he feels good after the bullpen session. The 27-year-old ace has been dealing with a sore thumb since being hit by a foul ball while in the dugout on July 28. Fantasy managers should keep a lookout for updates regarding Ohtani's return.

Sun Aug 1 202119:35AJ Pollock Records Four Hits In Dodgers VictoryAJ PollockDH/LFMariners
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock continued his strong season at the plate with a big performance in Sunday's blowout victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pollock went 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles, one run and two RBI. When he is healthy, Pollock is as steady of a producer as there is. The Dodgers lineup is absolutely loaded and with the way he is playing, Pollock doesn't figure to be the odd man out when shortstop Trea Turner (COVID-19) joins the team. Pollock is now hitting .304 with 13 home runs, 40 RBI and five stolen bases. He should continue to remained rostered in all formats.

Sun Aug 1 202112:54Josh Donaldson Remains Out Of LineupJosh Donaldson3BYankees
Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) is out of the lineup for a third straight day on Sunday. Luis Arraez is at the hot corner again and batting cleanup for the finale in St. Louis. Donaldson was a late scratch ahead of Friday's game with hamstring tightness, though he is considered day-to-day. The lower-body injuries continue to pop up for the veteran third baseman, who has been a strong contributor when healthy. Fantasy managers should keep monitoring the news on Donaldson, who has an .840 OPS this year. Arraez has limited upside in terms of counting stats but was batting .375 in July before getting injured.

Sun Aug 1 202112:01Cedric Mullins On Bench Against TigersCedric MullinsCFOrioles
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is on the bench for Sunday's contest against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Tyler Alexander. Mullins, who was 2-for-4 on Saturday, is apparently getting rest as he enjoys a breakout season with across-the-board production, slashing .321/.385/.929 with 17 home runs and 18 stolen bases. Fantasy managers with daily moves can replace Mullins but he should be good to go next week and thereafter. Ryan McKenna is in center field against the Tigers and batting fifth. With a .570 OPS over 86 at-bats in his rookie campaign, McKenna has yet to gain deep-league relevance.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Saturday for the contest against the Cardinals. He was a late scratch ahead of Friday's game with hamstring tightness, though he is considered day-to-day. The lower body injuries continue to pop up for the veteran third baseman, who has been a strong contributor when healthy. The recently-activated Luis Arraez will start at third base and bat cleanup. Arraez has limited upside in terms of counting stats but was batting .375 in July before getting injured.

Sat Jul 31 202109:37Patrick Sandoval Grinds Through Friday's StartPatrick SandovalSPAngels
Los Angeles Angels starter Patrick Sandoval (3-5) pitched 5.2 innings, picked up six strikeouts, and gave up only one run, despite allowing six walks during Friday's 2-0 loss to the Oakland Athletics. He's had a solid year on the mound, besides a high walk total. Sandoval has a 3.38 ERA with a 27.4 K%, 10.1 BB% over 77.1 IP. He's a good fantasy option in most leagues, providing good strikeout numbers and an above-average ERA. Fantasy managers looking to add a starter should feel comfortable picking him up if he's still on the waiver wire.

Sat Jul 31 202106:56Yandy Diaz Blasts Two-Run Shot On FridayYandy Díaz1BRays
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, and an additional run scored during Friday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox. He's now logged back-to-back three-hit games. The 29-year-old took Martin Perez deep in the first inning to put the Rays on the scoreboard. It was his seventh long ball of the season. Diaz is slashing .260/.373/.373 with seven home runs, 37 RBI, and 45 runs scored over 88 games in 2021. The Rays infielder doesn't provide much in power but remains a strong option in OBP formats.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Votto homered for the seventh straight game, one shy of a major league record, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 6-2 on Friday night. Jonathan India went deep twice for the Reds, including a leadoff shot that came on Carlos Carrasco’s first pitch with the Mets. Acquired from Cleveland in January, the veteran right-hander finally made his New York debut after recovering from a hamstring injury. It was an up-and-down day for the Mets, who made a big deal to get Javier Báez from the Chicago Cubs before baseball’s trade deadline — and then revealed injured ace Jacob deGrom will be shut down for two more weeks because of inflammation in his pitching elbow, making it unlikely he’ll rejoin the NL East leaders before September. Báez was acquired from the Cubs along with right-hander Trevor Williams for outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Mets’ first-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft. Báez is expected to join the Mets on Saturday and will play shortstop... [More]

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette flashed his talents in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox by homering and swiping a base in the club's return home to the Rogers Centre. The 23-year-old swatted a two-run shot in the seventh inning to provide his team with some much needed insurance runs as he finished the game going 2-for-4 with two runs. Since his move to the cleanup spot a week ago, the All-Star is hitting .423 with 3 HR and 10 RBI to pad his impressive 2021 numbers. He's now up to a .298 BA on the campaign with 19 HR, 71 RBI, 81 runs, and 16 SB, proving to be one of the league's best five-category fantasy star.

Fri Jul 30 202121:12Shohei Ohtani Not Pitching On SundayShohei OhtaniDH/SPAngels
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (thumb) will not start during the series against the Oakland Athletics, as initially expected. The 27-year-old is currently battling a sore thumb after being struck by a foul ball while in the dugout during Wednesday's matchup against the Colorado Rockies. However, he shouldn't have any issues retaining his usual role as the designated hitter. Nonetheless, Ohtani will likely be back on the hill during the upcoming trip to Texas to face the Rangers. In the meantime, Jaime Barria will now start on Saturday, and the debuting Reid Detmers will close things out against the A's on Sunday.
