John Axford Returns To Brewers

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher John Axford has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for cash considerations. The 38-year-old has not pitched in the majors since the 2018 season. Although, Axford has posted a 0.77 ERA and 15/3 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings in the minors this season. He will immediately join […]

Eli Morgan Recalled, Starting Versus Blue Jays

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan has been recalled to make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Morgan has struggled with a 7.47 ERA over 31 1/3 innings with the Indians this season. This isn't an ideal spot for Morgan against a strong Blue Jays lineup. He won't be a recommended streaming […]

Chris Sale To Make Another Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) is expected to make at least one more rehab start. He tossed five innings of one-run ball on Saturday in Triple-A Worcester. Sale has posted a 1.76 ERA and a 27/2 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings over four starts in the minors. It sounds like Sale […]

Austin Riley Knocks In Lone Run On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley was seemingly the only offense for this team on Sunday. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI during Sunday's close to 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Riley slapped an RBI single in the sixth inning off righty John Curtiss as the only run for this offense. It was a frustrating […]

Charlie Morton Gets Tough Luck Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton was solid on the mound, but was saddled with the loss on Sunday. He went six innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, and six strikeouts in the 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Braves offense didn't help Morton, but at least fantasy managers got a solid outing […]

Charlie Culberson Has Three-Hit Game

Texas Rangers infielder Charlie Culberson was a tough player to get out during Sunday's game versus the Seattle Mariners. He went 3-for-4 at the plate with three singles during the 4-3 win on Sunday. Those three hits pushed his batting average to .237, but still isn't at a respectable mark. He also has three home […]

Andy Ibanez Hits Clutch Homer Versus Mariners

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez has not been a huge part of the lineup this season, but came up clutch on Sunday. He went 2-for-4 with a single, home run, and two RBI in the victory. Ibanez came up clutch in the ninth and blasted a two-run game tying homer off righty Erik Swanson. He […]

Jonah Heim Hits Another Walkoff Sunday

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is looking like prime Babe Ruth at the plate over the weekend. The 26-year-old hit a pair of home runs including a walkoff winner in the 10th inning on Saturday. Heim returned as the DH for Sunday's contest and continued his clutch ways at the plate. He went 2-for-4 with […]

Mike Foltynewicz Has Decent Outing On Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz finally put together a decent outing after getting smacked around his last few starts. He went five innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, three walks, and one strikeouts versus the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Both of his runs came with the bases loaded in the second inning. However, […]

Alex Bregman Pulled Early During Rehab Game

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (hamstring) was removed early during Sunday's rehab game with Triple-A Sugar Land. It sounds like he was removed from the game as a precaution. Bregman should return in a day or two, but this could push back his return date to the big league roster. The hope was that […]

Josh James Activated, Optioned To Minors

Houston Astros pitcher Josh James (hip) has been activated off the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land. He was already with the organization for a rehab assignment, so he won't have to go anywhere. The 28-year-old righty has been sidelined all season due to a hip issue. He'll get some more work […]

Huascar Ynoa Gets Lit Up During Rehab Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) was not sharp during his rehab start in Single-A Rome on Sunday. He only pitched two innings, eight hits allowed, six runs allowed, while striking out two. The most important thing is that Ynoa is healthy and back on the mound. He has been sidelined since mid-May due […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Gets Day Off On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This marks Guerrero's first rest day of the season, so it's well-deserved. Cavan Biggio will cover first base and bat sixth versus righty Brad Keller. Biggio is not a favorable fantasy option […]

Jorge Soler Collects Three Hits In Braves Debut

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler began his team debut with a bang on Saturday. He went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in the 8-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Soler has struggled at the plate this season, but offers huge upside in terms of power. He is a threat to go deep everytime he steps […]

Kyle Muller Pitches Well In No-Decision

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Muller pitched well during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He tossed five innings, four hits allowed, one earned run, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 8-1 victory. Since joining the Braves, Muller has posted a 2.43 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33/15 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings. He'll […]

Thomas Hatch, Tayler Saucedo Optioned To Minors

Toronto Blue Jays pitchers Thomas Hatch and Tayler Saucedo has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. The Jays needed to make room for Jose Berrios and Joakim Soria on the active roster. Saucedo performed well during his time in Toronto, so he could be back soon. He posted a 2.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP […]

Billy Hamilton Heads To IL, Jimmy Lambert Recalled

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 31. The switch-hitting speedy outfielder has been below average with the bat during his time in Chicago. His absence won't make much of an impact in the lineup. In the meantime, Jimmy Lambert has been recalled from Triple-A […]

Rhys Hoskins Remains Out On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has not played since July 29 due to a tweaked groin. It sounds like he'll avoid a trip to the injured list, but will remain out of the lineup for a few days. In […]

Tigers Expected To Hold Onto Jonathan Schoop

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop is unlikely to be moved before the July 30 trade deadline. The interest in Schoop has been limited enough that the Tigers don't believe it's worth it to deal him. Schoop is making $4.5 million this season and has put up a .791 OPS with 17 home runs and […]

White Sox Sign Reliever Kyle Crick

The Chicago White Sox have signed relief pitcher Kyle Crick to a minor league deal. He was designated for assignment by the Pittsburgh Pirates, but surprisingly didn't draw any interest. The righty reliever will now get a chance with a new organization. Crick has posted a 4.43 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 24.3 innings with […]

Spencer Howard Available For Trade

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Spencer Howard is reportedly available in trade discussions. He was viewed as the Phillies top pitching prospect prior to his debut last season. Since then, Howard has battled a few injuries and has struggled heavily at the MLB level. He has posted a 5.71 ERA through 28.3 innings with the Phillies […]

Jesus Aguilar Unlikely To Be Traded On Friday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar is likely going to stay with the organization. It doesn't appear that the organization has plans to move Aguilar at the trade deadline despite interest from other organizations. He has one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining, so Miami is likely going to bring him back next season. Aguilar […]

Rays Acquire Shawn Armstrong From Orioles

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Shawn Armstrong has been dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays. In exchange for Armstrong, the Orioles will receive cash considerations. Armstrong has an 8.55 ERA over 20 appearances for the Orioles this season. He was removed from the 40-man roster last month, but has pitched well in the minors. Armstrong could […]

Whit Merrifield Expected To Stay In KC

Kansas City Royals second baseman White Merrifield is unlikely to be traded by the July 30 deadline. Jon Morosi of MLB Network has been told by rival executives that the Royals are expected to keep Merrifield. He is under team control through 2023, so it's not shocking that the Royals are staying put right now. […]

Trey Mancini, John Means Unlikely To Be Dealt

Baltimore Orioles first baseman and starting pitcher John Means are unlikely to be dealt by the end of the trade deadline on July 30. Means is looking like a prime trade candidate, but has struggled since returning from a shoulder injury. He is under team control until 2024, so the team has no rush to […]

Dansby Swanson Shows Off His Power Versus Mets

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson continues to be a surprising source of power for this lineup. On Thursday, Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the eighth inning in the 6-3 win over the New York Mets. That gives Swanson 18 home runs on the season, which is a new career high. The […]

Austin Riley Hits Another Homer On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley has been a home run machine over the last few games. He has now collected six home runs and 13 RBI over his last seven games. On Thursday, Riley went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI single in the 6-3 win over the New York Mets. Riley […]

Drew Smyly Lifted After Four Innings

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly wasn't at his best during Thursday's contest against the New York Mets. He tossed four innings, nine hits allowed, three earned runs, one walk, and six strikeouts on Thursday. His velocity was down in this start and it's worth noting he was pulled due to a knee injury during […]

Rhys Hoskins Exits Early On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (undisclosed) was removed early during Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. Hoskins left early during the second game of the doubleheader with an apparent injury. J.T. Realmuto took over at first base for the rest of the game. The Phillies should have more news on Hoskins shortly after the […]

Luis Severino Cleared For Rehab Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (groin) has been cleared for a rehab start on Tuesday. He suffered a groin injury while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The good news is, Severino has thrown to live batters and is ready for a rehab assignment. It sounds like Severino has a chance to return to […]
