Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia (toe) left Sunday's clash against Miami. Tapia continues to be bothered by a nagging great toe, and according to skipper Bud Black, he will have an MRI to determine the severity of the issue. The 27-year-old has played well this season, batting .289, with 114 hits, 45 RBI, and 19 stolen bases throughout 104 games. However, fantasy managers should brace themselves for a potential trip to the 10-day injured list, primarily since it has been bothering the six-year pro intermittently over the last week or so. If Tapia does indeed miss time, Connor Joe may continue to replace him in the lineup.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia isn't in the team's starting lineup as they get set to take on left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Tapia is hitting .289 with a .340 on-base percentage, five home runs, and 19 stolen bases in 430 plate appearances this season. However, it'll be Connor Joe who gets the start in left field in Tapia's place. Joe is batting seventh. If you're looking for streaming help in the outfield on Saturday in either daily fantasy play or season-long formats, Joe could be worth a look. The 28-year-old is hitting .283 with a .359 on-base percentage and three home runs in 103 plate appearances this season.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia went 2-for-4 with a run scored, two doubles, and a strikeout in a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Tapia got things going for the Rockies in the bottom of the first inning when he doubled off Alec Mills and came around to score off a Brendan Rodgers two-bagger. He would double again later in the contest as well. The 27-year-old outfielder has been rock-solid over the last 15 games, going 17-for-55 (.309/.371/.382) with six stolen bases and five RBI. On the season, he's slashing .290/.342/.392 with five home runs, 44 RBI, and a career-best 19 thefts across 383 at-bats. The power hasn't really been there for Tapia but the stolen bases have been a pleasant surprise for fantasy managers.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia (toe) is not expected to go on the 10-day injured list with a sprained big toe. He's "in a lot of discomfort," said manager Bud Black. The 27-year-old sprained his big toe during Friday's 9-4 win over the Padres. Tapia is expected to miss 2-to-3 days and should return to the lineup soon. He is slashing .289/.342/.388 with five home runs, 43 RBI, and 59 runs scored over 99 games in 2021. The Rockies outfielder doesn't provide much power but makes up for it with his speed by swiping a career-high 19 bags this season.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored, two RBI, and a stolen base in an 8-7 loss to the Angels on Wednesday. Tapia had a monster day at the dish for the Rockies. He picked up both of his RBI when he swatted a two-run double off of Steve Cishek in the seventh inning. He hit another double earlier in the contest, scored two runs, and swiped his 19th bag. The 27-year-old outfielder has been a solid fantasy contributor this year, slashing .285/.340/.386 to go along with five home runs, 43 RBI, and 19 stolen bases over 365 at-bats. The lack of home runs is a little underwhelming but he's made up for it with a career-best 19 steals so far.

MIAMI (AP) — Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. will have season-ending surgery to repair a completely torn ACL in his right knee after he was injured during Atlanta’s 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. An MRI showed the severity of the injury and the Braves made the announcement shortly before midnight that their three-time All-Star will be out until at least next year. Acuña landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping on the warning track in right field to try to catch a drive from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. The 23-year-old slammed into the outfield wall and crumbled on the warning track, immediately grabbing his right knee while Chisholm sprinted out an inside-the-park homer. The 23-year-old Acuña did not put any weight on his right leg and had to be helped to a cart before being taken from the field. Freddie Freeman had a two-run homer and an RBI single, while Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley ripped doubles as the first three Braves reached base off All-Star pitcher... [More]

Bryce Harper blew kisses at a booing crowd to punctuate his home run, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 2-1 in eight innings Friday night for a doubleheader split after Aaron Nola matched a long-standing major league record with 10 straight strikeouts in the opener. Odúbel Herrera drove in the tiebreaking run with a groundout against reliever Sean Reid-Foley (2-1) in the eighth as both games took an extra inning to determine a winner. Nola tied Tom Seaver’s mark for consecutive strikeouts set 51 years ago, but the Mets rallied to win the first game 2-1 in eight innings on big hits by Francisco Lindor and Dominic Smith. Following a costly error by third baseman Alec Bohm in the bottom of the seventh, Archie Bradley (3-1) limited the damage and allowed only pinch-hitter James McCann’s tying sacrifice fly in the nightcap. In the opener, Seth Lugo (1-0) struck out three in the top of the eighth and stranded two runners for the NL East leaders, playing their third doubleheader... [More]

Aaron Nola struck out 10 straight batters to match a major league record that stood for 51 years, but the New York Mets rallied past the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 in eight innings Friday on big hits by Francisco Lindor and Dominic Smith during the first game of a doubleheader. New York took advantage of an embarrassing two-base error by reliever José Alvarado, who overthrew first base on a comebacker while clinging to a 1-0 lead in the seventh inning. That led to Lindor’s tying single with two outs, and Smith won it with an RBI single off Ranger Suárez (3-2) in the eighth. Hall of Fame ace Tom Seaver fanned his final 10 hitters for the Mets in a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Padres at Shea Stadium on April 22, 1970. That mark for consecutive strikeouts held for more than five decades. Nola also singled off the left-field wall and doubled home Philadelphia’s run against starter Taijuan Walker. He tied a career high with 12 strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings of two-hit ball. Seth Lugo (1-0) struck... [More]

NEW YORK (AP) — Gio Urshela stayed in the game despite a shard of a broken bat hitting his right eye in the second inning and hit a go-ahead homer eighth as the New York Yankees rallied from a three-run deficit in a 7-5 victory Saturday that stopped the Oakland Athletics’ seven-game winning streak. Aroldis Chapman struck out Matt Chapman on a 103.4 mph pitch to strand two runners in the ninth for his 15th save. Urshela singled in New York’s first run in the fourth and put the Yankees ahead 5-4 in the eighth when he lifted a 98.6 mph fastball from Jesús Luzardo (2-4) into the netting above Monument Park in center. DJ LeMahieu added a two-run single against Sergio Romo. Chad Green (2-4) struck out the side in the eighth. PADRES 7, REDS 5 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Rookie Kim Ha-seong hit a tiebreaking, two-run home run with two outs in the eighth — three innings after he replaced injured star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. — and San Diego beat Cincinnati. Tatis left after apparently hurting his left... [More]

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks set a major league record with their 23rd straight road loss, making dubious history in getting trounced by the San Francisco Giants 10-3 Thursday. The dejected D-backs trudged off the field after breaking a tie with the 1963 Mets and ’43 Philadelphia Athletics for road futility. Held to just a lone single by pitcher Zac Gallen through six innings, Arizona fell behind 6-0. The Diamondbacks don’t play again on the road until June 25 at San Diego. Gallen (1-2) allowed four earned runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first start back from a sprained pitching elbow. Giants starter Kevin Gausman (8-1) limited the D-backs to two runs on four hits in eight innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked one. Curt Casali homered and drove in four runs for San Francisco, finishing a double shy of the cycle. Steven Duggar went 3 for 3 with an RBI double and Mauricio Dubón and Mike Yastrzemski drove in two runs each as the Giants improved the best record in... [More]

MIAMI (AP) — Starling Marte had four hits, including a homer and double, and the Miami Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 11-4 on Thursday night. Adam Duvall and Jazz Chisholm also went deep for the Marlins, who had 16 hits. “The guys were swinging the bats pretty good all night,” Miami manager Don Mattingly said. Trevor Rogers (7-3) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings. Miami’s rookie left-hander struck out eight, walked one and has yielded two runs or fewer in 12 of his 13 starts. The homers from Duvall, Chisholm and Marte off starter Chi Chi González keyed a six-run second inning. Duvall’s two-run shot started the scoring. Chisholm’s three-run blast bounced off the upper deck in right field, and Marte followed with his solo shot over the left-center field wall. “Hitting is contagious,” Chisholm said. “The offense is contagious. You always want to jump into the fun.” Miami padded its lead in the fifth on José Devers’ RBI single and Jon Berti’s run-scoring double. In addition... [More]

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Joc Pederson and Sergio Alcantara homered, and Jake Arrieta threw five strong innings for the Chicago Cubs, who beat former teammate Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres 3-1 Wednesday to take two of three. The Cubs beat the Padres five times in six games in a 10-day stretch, including a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field last week. Darvish (6-2) retired the first nine Cubs batters before Pederson hit a towering home run to right-center field leading off the fourth to tie it at 1. Darvish pitched well but took the hard-luck loss when the Cubs scored the go-ahead run in the seventh on Anthony Rizzo’s double-play ball. Arrieta allowed one run and four hits in five innings, struck out six and walked one. He allowed Manny Machado’s RBI single in the third. Rex Brothers (2-0) pitched a perfect sixth for the win. Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his 15th save in 17 chances. ATHLETICS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 0 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Sean Manaea pitched six innings of two-hit ball,... [More]

MIAMI (AP) — Raimel Tapia hit two doubles, singled and scored twice, and the Colorado Rockies earned a rare road victory, beating the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Wednesday night. Charlie Blackmon had two hits and an RBI for the Rockies, who are a major league-worst 5-23 on the road — compared to 20-14 at Coors field. Tapia has eight doubles in June after he hit four over the first two months of the season. Winning pitcher Austin Gomber (5-5) allowed one run in five innings. The left-hander was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sixth after he scattered five hits and struck out eight on 84 pitches. “I was in the strike zone with all four pitches,” Gomber said. “I thought I had better control than command — got into some long at bats.” Colorado manager Bud Black opted for the pinch hitter because the Rockies had runners at second and third when Gomber’s spot came up, and Connor Joe came through with an RBI groundout. “Austin had one inning in him, we had a fresh bullpen and we thought that was the...
