Ian Happ Homers Twice in Win

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ remained hot at the plate during Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

He'd finish his […]

Camilo Doval Escapes in Ninth Inning

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval was handed the ball with a three-run lead versus the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Doval struggled early as he allowed three straight hits and two runs. He was able to settle down and retire the next three batters to earn his 12th save of the season. Doval […]

Chris Martin Earns Second Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Chris Martin was asked to close out the game in the ninth inning during Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lately, Robert Garcia has been the closer in Texas, but it doesn't look like he was available for this game. Instead, Martin was called upon to hold a one-run lead in […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Resumes Throwing

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (foot) was able to play catch ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The plan is for McCullers to throw again on Sunday. If everything goes well, McCullers could throw off the mound on Monday. It sounds like McCullers is trending in the right direction and […]

Landen Roupp Throws Six Shutout Innings

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp looked strong on the mound during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It's nice to see Roupp rebounding after giving up six earned runs during his last outing. On Saturday, Roupp tossed six shutout innings, allowing three hits, three walks, and struck out seven batters in the […]

Rafael Devers Homers on Saturday

San Francisco Giants corner infielder Rafael Devers came up with a clutch hit during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

The left-handed slugger blasted a two-run home run […]

Colorado Rockies infielder Thairo Estrada (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This marks the fourth game in a row that Estrada has missed due to a right hand injury. He was hit by a pitch on the right hand on Tuesday and hasn't been able to […]

Max Kranick Heading to Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Max Kranick (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list. He underwent an MRI that revealed a flexor strain in his right elbow, so Kranick will miss some time. The expectation is that Kranick is going to miss 3-4 weeks of action. That being said, Kranick is unlikely to […]

Tyler Glasnow Beginning Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is set to make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Glasnow threw a 40-pitch live batting practice session earlier in the week. It appears that session went well enough that Glasnow will start making rehab starts. It sounds like the plan is for Glasnow to make […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Wants to Participate in Home Run Derby

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. said on Friday that he'd participate in the upcoming Home Run Derby if invited this year. The All-Star game will be held in Truist Park this year, so it's only fitting that Acuna gets involved. The league always wants to have a home team representative for the tournament. Acuna […]

Dennis Santana Handed Four-Game Suspension

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Robert Suarez and the team's manager Mike Shildt have been suspended for their actions during Thursday's contest. The league has also suspended the Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts as well. Suarez gets slapped with a three-game suspension after almost certainly hitting slugger Shohei Ohtani on purpose. This happened after […]

Logan O'Hoppe Absent on Friday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. O'Hoppe will now head to the bench for the second straight game. It appears the Angels are giving O'Hoppe extra rest given his struggles at the plate. Over his last eight games, O'Hoppe is 3-for-31 […]

Jake Burger Exits Early on Friday

Texas Rangers corner infielder Jake Burger (side) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Burger appeared to grab his side after striking out in the seventh inning. He was pulled from the contest after that due to left side tightness. The expectation is that Burger will undergo further […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Playing on Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. There was speculation that Tatis would miss time after getting hit in the hand by a pitch during Thursday's contest. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative and Tatis is back without missing […]

Xazavian Valladay Waived by Saints

New Orleans Saints running back Xazavian Valladay was released by the organization on Friday. This isn't a shocking move given the Saints recently signed running back Cam Akers. The Saints running back room was getting a little crowded, so they've decided to move on from Valladay. The 26-year-old hasn't done much during his pro career. […]

Tre' McKitty Released by Browns

Before that, McKitty spent three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. He totaled 16 receptions for 117 yards with zero touchdowns […]

Chig Okonkwo Building Chemistry with Cam Ward

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is reportedly looking good in recent open practices. Okonkwo has caught the most passes during OTAs and appears to be building a strong chemistry with rookie quarterback Cam Ward. The former fourth-round pick hasn't been too successful over his first three seasons. Over the last two years, Okonkwo has […]

Pete Crow-Armstrong Smacks Two-Run Homer

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong continued his strong campaign during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He got the scoring going early with a two-run home run off right-hander Freddy Peralta in the first inning.

Willson Contreras Knocks in Three Runs

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras put together a nice day at the plate during the first game of the doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.

Jac Caglianone Smacks Two Solo Homers

Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone achieved a big milestone during Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers.

He wasn't done as he took Robert Garcia deep in the ninth inning for his second home run of the […]

James Wood Blasts Two Homers

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood helped his team break a long losing streak on Thursday.

Wood came up and […]

The 31-year-old came up again in the second inning and took Martinez deep for the second time in two […]

Will Smith Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. This appears to be a routine rest day for Smith who has started in each of the last two games. During that span, Smith is 5-for-8 at the plate with two doubles, one home […]

Francisco Alvarez Getting Rest Day

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Alvarez will get a rest day here after starting in each of the last two games. He has struggled at the plate recently, which could be part of the reason he's on the bench again. […]

Brett Baty Remains Out on Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Brett Baty (groin) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Baty was forced to exit early during Sunday's game due to groin tightness. The Mets had a scheduled off day on Monday, but since then Baty has missed the next two games. For now, […]

Ryan Jeffers Resting on Wednesday

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This news isn't shocking after Jeffers was lifted from Tuesday's game after getting hit in the hand. The X-rays came back negative, so fantasy managers should consider Jeffers as day-to-day for now. The expectation is […]

Tyler Stephenson, Christian Encarnacion-Strand Absent on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson and first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand are out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Stephenson will take a seat after starting in four of the last five games, in which four of them were behind the plate. Jose Trevino will take over behind the plate […]
