Jordan Lyles Spins Quality Start Versus Arizona

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles surprisingly pitched well during Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Right-hander Spencer Howard fired two scoreless frames before Lyles took over on the mound. He went seven innings, three hits allowed, one earned run, two walks, and three strikeouts in the 3-1 win. Let's be honest, the D-Backs are […]

Adam Duvall Launches 32nd Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall has found new life with the bat since the trade deadline. Duvall has been hitting much better since being acquired by Atlanta. On Tuesday, he went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in the first inning off the Washington Nationals. This game was certainly a battle, but that three-run blast […]

Max Fried Holds His Own On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried worked himself out of a handful of jams during Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. He went six innings, six hits allowed, one earned run, four walks, and five strikeouts in the 8-5 victory. The 27-year-old clearly had control issues with four walks, but managed to escape with limited […]

Drew Smyly To Remain In Bullpen

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly will remain in the bullpen for likely the rest of the season. The veteran lefty seems to have lost his spot in the rotation to youngster Touki Toussaint. To be fair, Smyly hasn't been too reliable with a 4.71 ERA in 116 2/3 innings. He signed a one-year deal […]

Charlie Morton Signs Extension With Braves

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton has signed a one-year extension with the organization. There was some speculation that Morton would retire this offseason, but he received a significant offer from Atlanta. The veteran right-hander will receive a one-year extension worth $20 million, which includes a club option for the 2023 season. The 37-year-old has […]

Jimmy Lambert To Start On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jimmy Lambert will take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. He has not been reliable this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't use him as a streaming option. Lambert has allowed eight runs over eight innings this season. The White Sox rotation is banged up right now, so they […]

Yohel Pozo Continues Impressing

Texas Rangers catcher Yohel Pozo has been reliable with the bat since joining the big league roster. On Monday, he went 2-for-4 with two singles in the 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old is slashing .264/.291/.340 in his 53 at-bats with the Rangers this season. He is a catcher by trade, but […]

Jose Trevino Puts Together Two-Hit Game

Texas Rangers catcher Jose Trevino finally found his groove at the plate during Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the 4-0 victory. Despite his two-hit performance, Trevino is hitting .234/.262/.331 with the Rangers this season. He doesn't offer much upside with the bat and […]

Matt Bush To Resume Throwing Soon

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Matt Bush (elbow) is scheduled to begin throwing again soon. The veteran reliever has been sidelined since early April due to a flexor strain in his pitching arm. Bush has only thrown three innings for the Rangers this season and he struggled during those outings. Let's face facts, the Rangers aren't […]

A.J. Alexy Looks Outstanding Versus Angels

Texas Rangers starting pitcher A.J. Alexy made his second career start versus the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. He went six innings, one hit allowed, zero earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 4-0 victory. Alexy has thrown 11 shutout innings since joining the Rangers rotation. He'll get a tough assignment next time […]

Dane Dunning Begins Throwing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning was able to throw 23 pitches during a live batting practice on Monday. Dunning along with Mike Foltynewicz and Drew Anderson are working their way back after testing positive for COVID-19. It sounds like Dunning might be the closest to returning out of the trio. The hope is that […]

Maikel Franco Joins Braves On Minor League Deal

The Atlanta Braves have signed third baseman Maikel Franco to a minor league deal. The 29-year-old corner infielder was released by the Baltimore Orioles in late August. He hit .210/.253/.355 with 11 homers and 47 RBI during his time with the O's. This isn't a huge signing for the Braves, but does give them depth. […]

Willy Adames Lands On Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He exited early during Saturday's game due to a quad issue. It's a shame since Adams has been nursing a quad issue and recently returned, but aggravated it on Saturday. The Brewers will be forced to place Adames on […]

Cam Gallagher Heads To Injured List

Kansas City Royals catcher Cam Gallagher (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's game after battling knee discomfort. The organization is going to take the cautious approach and place Gallagher on the injured list. Salvador Perez (neck) is banged up as well, but continues to […]

Danny Santana Hits COVID List

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Danny Santana has been placed on the COVID injured list. He recently returned from a groin injury and will head right back to the injured list. He wasn't bringing much to the table offensively anyway, so the Red Sox should be able to survive without Santana. In a corresponding move, outfielder […]

Justin Upton Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The 34-year-old outfielder was scratched from Saturday's game due to back discomfort. A day later, the organization has decided to place Upton on the injured list for at least 10 days. Before getting injured, Upton was hitting .211 with 17 […]

Marwin Gonzalez Rejoins Astros

Houston Astros utility man Marwin Gonzalez has been recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday. The 32-year-old signed a minor league deal with the organization in late August. Before joining Houston, Gonzalez was hitting .202./282/.285 with the Boston Red Sox this season. He'll provide depth off the bench for Houston, but can be ignored in […]

Stuart Fairchild Optioned, Henry Ramos Recalled

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Stuart Fairchild has been optioned to the minors on Sunday. The 25-year-old was hitting .315/.390/.596 with six home runs in the minors, but struggled during his brief time in the MLB. In a corresponding move, outfielder Henry Ramos has been recalled by the team. He was hitting .371/.439/.582 with 12 home runs […]

Leody Taveras Collects Two-Hit Game

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras has been given a chance to make his mark down the stretch of the season. He hit leadoff on Saturday and made the most of his chances. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Since being recalled, Taveras […]

Kolby Allard Gives Acceptable Outing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard has not been a great option for the team during the second half of the season. Allard has struggled to keep the ball in the park and it was more of the same on Saturday. He went 5 2/3 innings, five hits allowed, three earned runs, one walk, and […]

Ozzie Albies Goes Deep Again

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies has returned with a fire lit under him. He was back in the lineup on Friday and homered in that contest. A day later, he goes 2-for-5 with a home run in the 7-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The power numbers from Albies have been quiet […]

Ian Anderson Rocked On Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was not on his best game during Saturday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. He went three innings, five hits allowed, four earned runs, and four walks in the 7-6 loss. Anderson clearly struggled with his control and two home runs hurt him as well. Despite the rough outing, Anderson […]

Brandon Nimmo Suffers Injury On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty hitting outfielder injured his leg while running out a ground ball during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. This is a significant blow to the Mets who are fighting for a playoff spot. Nimmo was an important part […]

Willy Adames Exits Due To Quad Issue

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (quad) was pulled out of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Adams recently has missed time due to a quad issue, but was in the lineup on Saturday. Sadly, he didn't last long and left due to quad discomfort, according to manager Craig Counsell. The organization has not given […]

Miguel Sano Leaves Early On Saturday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (shoulder) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 28-year-old suffered a right shoulder contusion when colliding with catcher Mike Zunino. The Twins are calling the issue day-to-day, so fantasy managers will have to wait for more information. Honestly, Sano's power numbers are […]

Alex Dickerson Lands On Injured List

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He suffered a hamstring injury while running the bases on Friday. The organization has not given a timetable for his return. Mauricio Dubon has been recalled in a corresponding move. Dickerson wasn't offering much at the plate right now. He […]

Matt Peacock Optioned To Minors

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Peacock has been optioned to the minors on Saturday. The 27-year-old wasn't pitching bad in the MLB, but it sounds like Arizona wanted a fresh arm. They recalled right-hander Humberto Castellanos for Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Peacock posted a 4.90 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 86 1/3 innings with […]

Justin Upton Remains Out Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) was not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. He continues to deal with nagging injuries, which have hindered him all season long. Upton tried to play on Saturday, but back spasms stopped him from getting into the lineup. There really isn't much upside […]

AJ Pollock Exits Early On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock (undisclosed) was pulled out early during Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The veteran outfielder appears to have suffered an injury while diving into third base in the third inning. He limped off the field and the team has not given anymore details. The Dodgers are likely going […]

Keelan Cole Projected As Starter

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole appears to have won a starting spot heading into the regular season. Cole has put together some respectable numbers with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It'll be interesting to see how he does with rookie Zach Wilson under center. The Jets have Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios, and Denzel Mims, but […]
