Christian Walker Mashes Homer In Win

Freddie Freeman Heading To Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to March 31. The Dodgers were hopeful to avoid this, but Freeman wasn't progressing as they hoped from his right-ankle sprain. It's worth noting that the sprain is on the same ankle Freeman had surgically-repaired. That being said, […]

Zack Wheeler Records 10 Strikeouts

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler was excellent on the mound during Wednesday's start against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander had seemingly no issues outside of Hunter Goodman's solo blast in the seventh inning. Wheeler tossed seven innings, allowing three hits, and striking out 10 batters in the 5-1 victory. To be fair, Wheeler did […]

Aroldis Chapman Earns First Save Of The Season

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman finally received a save opportunity as the team looked to end their four-game losing streak on Wednesday. The veteran southpaw was called upon to hold a three-run lead against the Baltimore Orioles tough lineup. It didn't go perfect for Chapman as he did walk one batter, but he […]

Garrett Crochet Works Eight Strong Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet showed that he earned every bit of that extension he received during Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. On Monday, Crochet signed a six-year, $170 million deal with Boston. It's already paying off for the Red Sox as Crochet tossed eight scoreless innings against the O's on Wednesday. […]

Rafael Devers Finally Delivers At The Plate

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers has been in a horrible slump to begin the season. He was hitless coming into Wednesday's game. Devers also became the first player in MLB history to strike out at the plate 15 times over the first five games of the season. Devers finally delivered at the plate […]

Xavier Edwards Collects Four Hits

Miami Marlins infielder Xavier Edwards came ready to hit at the plate during Wednesday's game against the New York Mets.

Pete Alonso Comes Up Clutch

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Alonso kicked off the game with an RBI double in the first inning.

Jaylin Williams Could Miss Monday's Game

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Chet Holmgren Uncertain For Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This has been frustrating for fantasy managers as Holmgren has been in and out of the lineup lately. He continues to nurse a left hip injury and the Thunder are going to be cautious with him […]

Jonathan Kuminga Won't Return On Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Kuminga was forced to exit in the middle of the second quarter after suffering a right ankle injury. The expectation is Kuminga will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should […]

LeBron James Expected To Suit Up Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. James has played in five straight games following a seven-game absence. He has been a regular on the injury report, but James usually does play. He doesn't appear to be impacted on the court by this […]

Tyler Soderstrom Hits Another Homer

Athletics first baseman Tyler Soderstrom continued to show off his power during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Luke Jackson Records Second Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Luke Jackson was called upon to protect a one-run lead against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. It wasn't easy, as Jackson allowed a double and a walk, but he was able to work out of the jam. He struck out Alex Bregman to end the game and earned his second […]

Jacob deGrom Throws Five Scoreless Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom made his season debut against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

He tossed five scoreless innings, allowing two […]

Nathaniel Lowe Collects Three Hits

Washington Nationals first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is off to an impressive start to the season. On Sunday, Lowe went 3-for-4 including a two-run home run in the victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Mitchell Parker Has Strong Outing Against Phillies

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Mitchell Parker looked impressive on the mound during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Parker went 6 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing seven hits and striking out five batters in the win.

Trea Turner Likely Out Until Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (back) is not expected to return to the starting lineup until Wednesday, according to manager Rob Thompson. Turner missed his second straight game on Sunday due to back spasms. The organization plans to rest him again on Monday before the team has an off day on Tuesday. That would give […]

J.T. Realmuto Expected To Play On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (foot) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Monday, according to manager Rob Thompson. Realmuto was forced to exit early during Saturday's game due to a left foot contusion. As a result, Realmuto missed Sunday's game, but it doesn't sound like he'll miss more time than that. Rafael […]

Manny Machado Ready To Go On Sunday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (calf) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Machado made an early exit on Saturday due to calf tightness, but he appears to be ready now. He'll cover third base and bat third against right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver. Machado started off the […]

Taj Bradley Records Seven Strikeouts

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley looked solid on the mound during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 24-year-old struck out seven batters while allowing two earned runs on seven hits across six innings of work. The biggest issue for Bradley has been his control and he seemed to hitting his spots on […]

Ryan Walker Dealing With Back Issue

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Ryan Walker (back) was unavailable to take the mound during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Instead, Camilo Doval was called upon to hold a three-run lead in the ninth inning. Doval did a nice job as he tossed a scoreless inning and recorded one strikeout for his first save […]

Camilo Doval Notches Save On Sunday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval was asked to take the ball with a three-run lead during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Tomoyuki Sugano Exits Due To Cramping

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano (hand) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Before exiting, Sugano allowed, four hits, two earned runs, and struck out one batter across four innings of […]

Michael Busch Sitting Out On Sunday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-handed slugger will get the day off against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez. Busch is 4-for-17 through the first five games of the season, so maybe a day off will help him get back on […]

Jose Soriano Tosses Seven Shutout Innings

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano was excellent on the mound during Saturday's start against the Chicago White Sox. Soriano tossed seven shutout innings, allowing two hits, and striking out five batters. The 26-year-old only needed 73 pitches to work throw seven innings on Saturday. He's not a big strikeout pitcher, so that will […]

Anthony Volpe Hits Three-Run Blast

New York Yankees infielder Anthony Volpe joined in on the fun during Saturday's blowout win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Volpe was quiet at the plate outside of his three-run home run in the second inning. It was an ugly day on the mound for the Brewers pitchers who gave up 20 runs. Volpe finished the […]
