Chicago Cubs outfielder Steven Souza Jr. has been scratched from Mondays opening contest of a doubleheader against St. Louis due to a tight right hamstring. His absence forces Ian Happ to shift over to right field, while Albert Almora Jr. will hold down center field. With Souza being out of the mix for Game 1, he presumably is also not available for Game 2 later Monday. His absence leaves Chicagos outfield thin as Jason Hayward (back) is also not in the lineup. Souza is primarily a DFS play...

Chicago Cubs outfielder Steven Souza Jr. went 1-for-2 with a home run on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Souza didnt start the game, but pinch-hit for Victor Caratini and hit a game tying homer in the bottom of the eighth inning. The injury plagued outfielder is only hitting .176 on the season and wont see enough bats without an injury to one of the Cubs starters. He can be avoided in all formats.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Steven Souza Jr. went 1-for-5 with a run scored, two RBI and three strikeouts on Monday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Souza got his first start of the season as Jason Heyward sat on the bench versus left-hander Wade Miley. Souza is looking to be healthy with his new squad, but will be platooning with Jason Heyward and he doesnt hold much value outside of DFS leagues.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Steven Souza Jr. is getting his first start of the season on Monday versus Wade Miley and the Reds. He'll bat sixth and play right field while Jason Heyward receives the day off versus the southpaw. Souza hasn't played a game since 2018, but he could make a cheap DFS play since he's hit lefties much better during his five-year career. He'll likely see the majority of his starts when a lefty takes the bump, but isn't a fantasy option for season-long leagues.

The Chicago Cubs agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder Steven Souza Jr. on Saturday, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed. Souza missed all of the 2019 season with a knee injury and played in just 72 games for the Diamondbacks in 2018 due to injury. However, he showed his potential by hitting 30 home runs, driving in 78 and stealing 16 bases in 148 games for the Rays in 2017. He won't do his fantasy owners any favors with his batting average, but Souza ...

The Chicago Cubs are close to a deal with outfielder Steven Souza Jr., according to a source. Souza tore multiple ligaments in his knee and missed all of the 2019 season and only played in 72 games in 2018 with the Diamondbacks because of injury. He's said to be healthy right now, however, and his combination of power and speed could play well in Chicago if he sees enough playing time. Souza managed to hit 30 home runs, drive in 78 and steal 16 bases in 148 games with the Rays back in 2017, so ...

Outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (knee), who is running, hitting and throwing at 100 percent intensity after April surgery on his left knee, is drawing interest from the Rangers, Rays, Cubs and Giants, according to a source. The 30-year-old tore multiple ligaments in his knee in spring training for the Diamondbacks and missed the entire 2019 season. Injuries are part of the risk with Souza, but his impressive power-speed combination when he's healthy is what is attracting teams. He played in only ...

The Arizona Diamondbacks non-tendered starting pitcher Taijuan Walker and outfielder Steven Souza Jr. on Monday, making them both free agents. Walker missed most of the last two seasons after having Tommy John surgery, but he was able to post a 3.49 ERA in 157 1/3 innings in 2017. The right-hander will surely be coveted by teams looking for starting pitching help on the open market. Like Walker, Souza was injured in his two years with the Snakes, and he hit just .220 in 72 games in 2018 while...

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (knee) posted a video on his Twitter account on Monday and said that he's running at 100 percent in Arizona. Souza suffered a devastating knee injury in spring training when he tore the ACL, LCL and PCL in his left knee, which caused him to miss the entire 2019 season. He'll turn 31 next April and is always a health risk, but his blend of speed and power should be useful to the D-backs in 2020 if he can stay on the field. Souza played in just 72...
