Freddie Freeman Takes A Seat On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Freeman recently returned from the injured list and went 1-for-6 with three strikeouts during that span. It's not shocking to see the Dodgers giving Freeman a day off to get his mind right. Enrique Hernandez will cover first base and bat eighth versus right-hander Colin Rea. Hernandez is 4-for-40 to start the season, so he isn't an ideal fantasy option right now.

George Springer Removed Early On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran outfielder appeared to have suffered a left wrist injury during a plate appearance in the fifth inning. He was pulled out of the contest and finished his day 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The assumption is that Springer will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Springer has been on a tear to start the season, so hopefully this is only a day-to-day type of issue. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status. Will Wagner and Alan Roden could see more playing time if Springer does miss time.

Garrett Crochet Takes No-Hitter Into Eighth Inning

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet was excellent on the mound during Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The southpaw was at the top of his game for his revenge outing versus his former team. Crochet took a no-hitter into the eighth inning as he seemingly had no issues on the mound. He would eventually give up a hit and an earned run, but Crochet struck out 11 batters in what was an elite outing from him. Fantasy managers will be happy to hear that Crochet will face the White Sox again during his next start. He has been great this season with two earned runs or less in all four of his starts this season. Crochet is a top tier fantasy option that needs to be rostered and started in every format.

Justin Steele To Undergo Season-Ending Elbow Surgery

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Justin Steele (elbow) will undergo season-ending surgery, according to manager Craig Counsell. Steele was recently placed on the injured list due to elbow tendinitis. On Friday, Steele got a second opinion on his elbow injury, which is never a good sign. Now, Steele is done for the year, but it's unclear if he'll undergo Tommy John surgery. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can feel free to go ahead and look elsewhere for help. The assumption is that Colin Rea will remain in the starting rotation. Also, right-hander Javier Assad (forearm) figures to get a look in the rotation as well once he returns to the roster. This is a tough blow as Steele was coming off his best performance of the season with seven shutout innings before landing on the injured list. The Cubs might look to make a trade for a frontline starter if they remain in contention around the trade deadline.

Seiya Suzuki Held Out Of Sunday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Suzuki was forced to exit early on Saturday due to right wrist discomfort. For now, fantasy managers should consider Suzuki as day-to-day. However, it wouldn't be shocking to see him land on the injured list if he doesn't get better in a few days. In the meantime, Justin Turner will take over at the designated hitter spot and bat third versus right-hander Tyler Glasnow on Sunday. Turner isn't bringing enough upside with the bat right now to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.
