Jordan Westburg Smacks Two Homers

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg came ready to play with his power bat on Saturday. The right-handed slugger went 4-for-5 with two home runs and two RBI in the win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Westburg wasted no time as he immediately went deep off right-hander Max Scherzer in the first inning. He later went […]

Aaron Judge Blasts Three Homers

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge put together a legendary performance during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The superstar slugger went 4-for-6 with three home runs and eight RBI in the blowout victory. Yes, you're reading that correctly. Judge crushed three bombs and notched early double digit RBIs in a truly epic performance. The […]

Spencer Strider Posts Excellent Rehab Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider (elbow) was able to put together a strong rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. The right-hander allowed one run while striking out six batters across three innings of work. Strider was reportedly able to throw over 40 of his 60 pitches for strikes. The expectation is that Strider […]

Manny Machado Exits Early On Saturday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (calf) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Machado appears to have tweaked his calf while swinging the bat. As a precaution, Machado was removed from Saturday's game and Jose Iglesias replaced him at the hot corner. The expectation is that Machado will […]

Gleyber Torres To Miss Saturday's Game

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (ribs) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Torres was removed early during Friday's game due to rib injury. This doesn't appear to be something that will land Torres on the injured list. For now, fantasy managers should consider Torres as […]

Gio Urshela Heads To The Bench

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Urshela will get a rest day here after playing in the first two games of the season. He has gone 1-for-7 at the plate, so maybe a night off will help him get back on […]

Matt Shaw Taking A Seat On Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The rookie slugger will get a day off after playing in the first four games to begin the season. Gage Workman will cover third base and bat eighth versus right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Workman put […]

Nico Hoerner Not Playing On Saturday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs continue to be cautious with Hoerner who missed the opening two games in Tokyo while recovering from flexor tendon surgery. He went 0-for-4 on Friday, so the Cubs will give Hoerner a […]

Mookie Betts Sitting Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Mookie Betts (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Betts was red-hot during Friday's game as he smacked two homers and collected four RBI. His reward will be a rest day on Saturday, but fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned as this appears to […]

Jose Ramirez Exits Early On Saturday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) was pulled out early during Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Ramirez appears to have suffered a right wrist sprain during his stolen base attempt earlier in the game. He remained in the game for a bit afterwards, but looked sluggish during his at-bat in the sixth […]

Orlando Arcia Resting On Friday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia will take a seat ahead of Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Arcia got the starting nod on Opening Day, but will take a seat the next day. He went 1-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts, so not exactly a stellar performance. Arcia has some decent pop in […]

Jake Rogers Heading To The Bench

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. As expected, Rogers will split up the catching duties after going 1-for-3 with a walk during the season opener. Now, Dillon Dingler will do the catching and bat seventh versus right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Friday. […]

Miguel Amaya Taking A Seat On Friday

Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya will head to the bench ahead of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is an interesting decision after Amaya delivered two hits and collected five RBI during the team's win on Thursday. It appears the 26-year-old is going to really split time behind the plate this season. Carson Kelly […]

Kyle Freeland Tosses Six Scoreless Innings

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland was fantastic on the mound during Friday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Rays. The southpaw struck out seven batters while allowing two hits over six scoreless innings in a no-decision. Freeland only threw 67 pitches in this game before the Rockies decided to go to the bullpen. The […]

Kameron Misner Smacks Walk-Off Homer

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kameron Misner wasn't in the starting lineup to begin Friday's game, but he came up as the hero. Misner came into the game as defensive replacement in the eighth inning. He came ready to play as Misner hit a game-winning home run off Victor Vodnik during his lone plate appearance. Misner […]

Hunter Renfrow Meeting With Raiders

Free-agent wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is reportedly visiting with the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. Renfrow also visited with the Carolina Panthers earlier in the week as the 29-year-old is attempting a comeback. Renfrow last played with the Raiders in 2023, but he put up career-lows during that season. Renfrow has seen his stats take […]

Kyle Williams Visiting With Handful Of Teams

Washington State wide receiver Kyle Williams reportedly had a visit with the New England Patriots this week. Williams is going to be busy with at least five more teams to visit over the next few weeks. He's coming off an excellent season where he hauled in 70 receptions for 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns during […]

Tush-Push Ban Is Gaining Momentum

The Philadelphia Eagles have made the tush push famous over the last few seasons. For anyone unsure, the tush push is basically an advanced quarterback sneak where the teammates help push the quarterback forward in order to gain yards on a short yardage situation. Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers made a move to […]

Aroldis Chapman Pitches In Eighth Inning

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was recently named the primary closer heading into the regular season, according to manager Alex Cora. Well, there's still 161 more chances for Chapman to get a save, but he didn't get that chance on Thursday. Instead, Chapman was called upon to face left-handed slugger Corey Seager in […]

Justin Slaten Earns Save On Thursday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Justin Slaten was called upon to hold a three-run lead during Thursday's season opener against the Texas Rangers. This is an interesting development after the organization recently said Aroldis Chapman would be the primary closer. Instead, Chapman was called upon to the face left-handed batter Corey Seager to start the […]

Wilyer Abreu Launches Two Homers In Opener

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu was probably the most unlikely of heroes during Thursday's season opener against the Texas Rangers. Abreu missed a majority of spring training due to an illness, but it doesn't look like that matters. Abreu went 3-for-3 with two home runs, including a go-ahead blast in the ninth inning during […]

Tyler O'Neill Homers In Sixth Straight Opening Day

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill probably wishes that everyday was Opening Day. On Thursday, O'Neill homered for a record sixth consecutive Opening Day. The right-handed slugger joined the O's this offseason and is already off to a bang. He went 3-for-3 at the plate with a three-run blast and two walks in the blowout win […]

Cedric Mullins Blasts Two Homers In Opener

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins came ready to play during Thursday's season opener against the Toronto Blue Jays. Mullins had an ugly spring with only a .136 batting average, but this performance shows that those camp numbers might not matter too much. Mullins went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI during Thursday's blowout […]

MacKenzie Gore Records 13 Strikeouts

Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore was fantastic on the mound during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Gore recorded a career-high 13 strikeouts over six shutout innings in a no-decision. Gore only allowed one hit during his time on the mound as he looked nearly flawless out there. Sadly for Gore, the Nats […]

Shelby Miller Makes Opening Day Roster

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Shelby Miller has earned a spot on the Opening Day roster. This is a nice feel-good story as the veteran right-hander was brought in as a non-roster invitee. Miller looked impressive during spring training and has earned himself a spot on the 26-man roster. Miller posted an average season with the […]

Frankie Montas Gets Encouraging MRI Results

New York Mets starting pitcher Frankie Montas (lat) underwent an MRI earlier this week that showed good healing, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns. The right-hander remains a week or two away from beginning a throwing program. The 32-year-old suffered a high-grade lat strain early in camp. The expectation is that Montas is […]

Josh Jung Should Be Fine For Opening Day

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (neck) is expected to be ready to go for Thursday's season opener against the Boston Red Sox. Jung made a precautionary exit from Monday's contest due to neck stiffness. He was back in the lineup a day later, so this appears to be a minor issue. That being said, […]

Jared Jones Diagnosed With UCL Sprain

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jared Jones (elbow) received an official confirmation on his injury on Wednesday. It has been announced that Jones has been diagnosed with a UCL sprain in his right elbow. That means, Jones avoided any ligament damage and won't require surgery. The plan remains for Jones to be shut down from throwing […]

Cade Cavalli To Open Season On Injured List

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Cade Cavalli (elbow) will begin the regular season on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander continues to ramp up his activities while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. Cavalli missed all of 2023 and only pitched in three games last season. Despite that, the Nationals still have high hopes for the […]

Cason Wallace Ruled Out For Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Wallace appears to have picked up a left knee contusion during their last game and as a result he'll sit this one out. His absence should mean increased roles for Alex Caruso and Kenrich Williams on […]
