Dane Dunning Shines In Win Over Tigers

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning pitched arguably his best game of the season against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. He went five innings, one earned run, one hit, and six strikeouts in the 10-5 victory. His only hit allowed was a Robbie Grossman home run, but Dunning also allowed a walk as well. Besides […]

Dansby Swanson Collects Two Doubles In Win

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has not produced the prettiest stat line, but appears to be coming around at the plate. He went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI, and one walk during Sunday's win over the Miami Marlins. The 2021 season has not been kind to Swanson, but at least he's finally improved his […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Hits Homer In Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a key contributor to the win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI during Sunday's close battle with Miami. Acuna hit a two-run home run off Zach Thompson in the third inning. Then he tied the game in the […]

Charlie Morton Gets No-Decision Versus Marlins

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton was cruising through five innings versus the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Sadly, he ran into the red-hot Adam Duvall who took Morton deep to give the Marlins the lead. Morton tossed 5 1/3 innings, five hits allowed, four earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts. He ended up getting […]

Nate Lowe Records Two Hits In Loss

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe was one of the few bright spots for this offense on Sunday. He went 2-for-4, which was solid for a team that collectively finished with five hits. The Seattle Mariners pitching staff held Texas in check, but at least Lowe put together a decent game. Lowe is hitting .258 […]

Mike Foltynewicz Allows Two Homers In Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz had trouble keeping the ball in the ballpark during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went seven innings, allowing four hits, four earned runs with five strikeouts. At first glance, Foltynewicz didn't have a horrible outing, but the long ball cost him the game. He gave up two […]

Jonathan Villar Activated, Albert Almora Optioned

New York Mets infielder Jonathan Villar (calf) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. As expected, Villar will be ready to play in time for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader. This season, Villar is hitting .246/.333/.410 with six homers and eight stolen bases through 183 at-bats. Obviously not a great stat […]

John Curtiss Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Miami Marlins relief pitcher John Curtiss (neck) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. At first glance, this isn't significant news, but Curtiss has been solid out of the bullpen for Miami. This season, Curtiss is posting a 2.67 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 33 2/3 innings with 34 strikeouts. There has […]

Jose Rojas Recalled On Sunday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Jose Rojas has been recalled from the minors on Sunday. The Angels only had 25 players on their active roster, so no corresponding move was needed. Sadly, Rojas has struggled during his brief time in the MLB. He is hitting .190/.246/.364 this season over 121 at-bats, so fantasy managers can continue […]

Kevin Kramer Heads To Brewers In Trade

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Kevin Kramer has been acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for left-handed pitcher Nathan Kirby. An interesting move by the Brewers to take a chance on a .152/.222/.165 hitter. This appears to be a depth move ahead of the trade deadline. Kirby has missed multiple seasons due to injury, but appears […]

Sean Reid-Foley Lands On Injured List

New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Reid-Foley (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He is dealing with right elbow inflammation, so it's uncertain how much time he'll miss right now. Before going down, he posted a 5.23 ERA this season with a 1.50 WHIP over 20 2/3 innings. Yennsy Diaz has been […]

Cesar Valdez Activated, Isaac Mattson Optioned

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Cesar Valdez (back) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He has been sidelined since late June due to a lower back strain. Valdez was the O's closer coming into the 2021 season, but quickly lost that spot. He carries a 5.74 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 26 […]

Lucas Sims Likely To Return In Late July

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Lucas Sims (elbow) is hopeful that he can get back on the field by late July. Manager David Bell mentioned that Sims is more likely to return later in the month than right after the All-Star break. In the meantime, Heath Hembree, Amir Garrett and a handful of others will get […]

Welington Castillo Retires From Baseball

Washington Nationals catcher Welington Castillo has decided to retire from the MLB on Sunday. The 34-year-old spent 10 years in the league, but was most recently part of the Nationals squad. He played 11 games in the minors for the Nats in 2021 before calling it a career. He'll finish his MLB career with a […]

Orlando Arcia Recalled, Starting Sunday

Atlanta Braves infielder Orlando Arcia has been recalled from Triple-A on Sunday. He was acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers in early April. However, he has not seen any action with the Braves this season. He was hitting .303/.380/.552 over 201 at-bats in the minors. Arcia also smacked 13 home runs during his time in Triple-A. […]

Freddie Freeman Gets On Base Five Times

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman did everything he could against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. He went 3-for-3 and collected two walks as well during the 3-2 loss to Miami. He helped make it a one-run game in the seventh, but the Braves couldn't rally back. Freeman's now hitting .267/.374/.472 with 17 homers, 46 […]

Kyle Muller Looks Decent In Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Muller looked fairly average during his start against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. He went 5 2/3 innings, four hits allowed, three earned runs, four walks, and seven strikeouts. The young righty did get seven strikeouts, which is great, but the four walks didn't help at all. He has been […]

Adolis Garcia Collects Two Hits On Saturday

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia kept his hot bat going against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. Garcia went 2-for-5 with a single, and a double in the win. That double was his ninth of the season as Garcia has become a reliable bat in the Rangers lineup. It's uncertain if the Rangers are considering moving […]

John Hicks Smacks Two Homers In Victory

Texas Rangers catcher John Hicks is taking advantage of his playing time with the organization. He recently had his contract purchased from Triple-A Round Rock and is wasting no time. On Saturday, Hick went 2-for-4 with two home runs in the win over the Seattle Mariners. It was a nice showing from the veteran catcher, […]

Jordan Lyles Has Quality Outing Versus Mariners

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles pitched six innings of quality baseball against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. He allowed five hits, two earned runs, two walks, and struck out six in the victory. It was his fourth win on the campaign and he continues to look better than his stat line. He'll carry a […]

Trae Young Uncertain For Game 6

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) appears to be headed towards a game-time decision for Saturday's Game 6 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Nate McMillan said that he'll let Young decide if he wants to play or not. Young tested out his foot prior to Game 5, but decided to sit out. Now, the […]

Clint Capela Not On Injury Report For Game 6

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (eye) is not on the injury report heading into Saturday's Game 6 contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He suffered an eye injury during Game 4 when Capela was elbowed in the face. However, he was able to play in Game 5, but only was out there for 21 minutes. Head […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Likely To Play Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is expected to suit up for Game 6 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. He is battling through a knee issue, but deserves credit for continuing to suit up. Sadly, Bogdanovic has not been shooting well in the postseason, but has looked better over the last few games. The […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful For Game 6

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as doubtful for Game 6 versus the Atlanta Hawks. It sounds like the Bucks are trying to be cautious here with a one game lead in the series. Antetokounmpo is dealing with a hyperextension in his left knee, but an MRI revealed no structural damage. The organization […]

Patrick Beverley Suspended One Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley has been suspended one game by the NBA. During Game 6, Beverley pushed Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul in the back. It was with a few minutes left in the blowout loss and was clearly out of frustration. Beverley was given a technical foul and ejected from the contest. […]

Clint Capela Uncertain For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (eye) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 5 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He took an elbow to the eye during Game 4, but it sounds like he avoided any serious injury. The results of Wednesday's re-evaluation have not been announced, so fantasy managers are in the dark […]

Trae Young Remains Questionable For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) is listed as questionable for Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Both Young and Clint Capela (eye) traveled with the team, but it's uncertain if they will actually take the court for this game. Hopefully, Capela can play through the eye inflammation, but Young's status is up […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Listed As Probable For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is listed as probable for Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He has been dealing with right knee soreness over the last few games, but continues to play significant minutes.

Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner To Share Frontcourt

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis and center Myles Turner are expected to share the frontcourt next season, according to new Pacers coach Rick Carlisle. The veteran coach mentioned that it was always a challenge for him whenever he'd face the Pacers' big men during his time with Dallas. "I'm looking forward to the challenge of […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out For Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Game 5 against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as doubtful coming into the contest, so it wouldn't shock anyone that he won't suit up on Thursday. The good news is, there are no structural damage or issues with the ligaments in his knee. […]
