Isiah Kiner-Falefa Collects Two Hits On Friday

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa appears to be getting back into his groove at the plate. On Friday, he went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in the 7-3 loss to the Houston Astros. There is not a whole lot of positive things coming from this Rangers' lineup right now. Kiner-Falefa is […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Feeling Better On Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (head) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. He was dealing with migraine symptoms and only lasted one inning during the contest. On Saturday, manager Alex Cora mentioned that Rodriguez was feeling better. It sounds like he should be able to make […]

Kike Hernandez Batting First On Saturday

Boston Red Sox utility player Kike Hernandez remains in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the New York Yankees. He'll bat leadoff and cover second base versus righty Jameson Taillon. Normally, Hernandez isn't a huge factor with the bat, but that changed this season. Since the All-Star break, Hernandez is hitting .333/.406/.815 with seven extra-base […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Activated, Josh Rojas To Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. He has been out since early June due to a hamstring issue.

Josh Rojas Remains Out On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Josh Rojas (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He'll miss his second straight game due to a dislocated finger.

Kris Bryant Starting Versus D-Backs On Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) made his return to the starting lineup on Friday. He missed some time prior to that due to a minor hamstring issue. He'll play left field and bat second versus righty Merrill Kelly on Saturday. Bryant has been the target to plenty of trade rumors over the last […]

Carson Kelly Begins Rehab Assignment

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (wrist) began his rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday. He suffered a fractured wrist in mid-June from a hit by pitch. Prior to the injury, Kelly was hitting .260/.385/.460 with eight home runs, 26 RBI. He'll likely need a few weeks to get back into his groove […]

Tyler Wells Lands On Injured List

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Tyler Wells (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 20. The 26-year-old has been a nice pickup has a Rule 5 selection for the Orioles.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) looked sharp during his rehab appearance on Friday. He threw one scoreless inning with a pair of strikeouts at the Rays' Florida Complex League affiliate. The veteran righty has been sidelined all season due to a partially torn UCL. The hope is that Anderson can return to […]

Mitch Haniger Held Without A Hit

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger didn't look like himself during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts at the plate during Thursday's 4-1 defeat. It was a frustrating day for the Mariners who managed just four total hits in this one. Despite a rough day at the plate, Haniger is […]

Kris Bryant Gets Pitch Hit Appearance On Thursday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) got back onto the field during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, but this was a positive sign. He came off the bench and recorded a walk in a pinch hit appearance versus lefty T.J. McFarland. Sadly, it […]

Dodgers Intrigued With Ian Kennedy

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy could be on the move within the next week or so. The veteran closer is one of the few trade pieces that Texas has to offer right now. The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly shown interest in acquiring Kennedy. This season, Kennedy has a 2.59 ERA and 33/7 K/BB […]

Joc Pederson Struggles On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson was unable to get much going at the plate during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. In fact, Pederson went 0-for-5 at the plate versus lefty Matt Moore. To be fair, Pederson does not hit left pitching well, so this wasn't an ideal matchup for him. He has already shown […]

Orlando Arcia Smacks Solo Blast In Victory

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia has struggled during a majority of his time with the big league club. However, he finally had something go his way during Thursday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Matt Moore in the fourth inning. It was Arcia's second home run […]

His wife is due to give birth to his first child, so he'll leave to go be with her. Muncy won't be available for the weekend series, so fantasy managers can take him […]

Donovan Walton Recalled, Yohan Ramirez Optioned

Seattle Mariners infielder Donovan Walton has been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. He is slashing .206/.254/.365 with a pair of home runs over 63 at-bats this season. Obviously, Walton is not much of a fantasy option, but will be nice depth for Seattle. Right-hander Yohan Ramirez has been optioned to the minors in a […]

Twins Acquire Joe Ryan, Drew Strotman From Rays

The Minnesota Twins have acquired right-handed pitchers Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for designated hitter Nelson Cruz and left-handed pitcher Calvin Faucher.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Knocks In Two Runs

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa appears to be breaking out of his little slump at the plate. On Thursday, he went 1-for-5 with two RBI during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Obviously, it wasn't a great outing at the plate, but at least he knocked in two runs. The Rangers will certainly take […]

Andy Ibanez Collects Three Hits

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez put together one of his better performances on Thursday. He went 3-for-4 with one RBI, and a triple during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Ibanez has not looked sharp at the plate lately, but hopefully this is a sign he's turning it around. Sadly, Ibanez doesn't get enough […]

David Dahl Knocks In Two Runs On Thursday

Texas Rangers outfielder David Dahl has been one of the few batters showing up for this offense recently. On Thursday, Dahl went 1-for-3 with two RBI during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Sergio Alcantara Optioned, Trevor Megill Recalled

Chicago Cubs infielder Sergio Alcantara has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa ahead of Thursday's contest against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cubs bullpen has been used frequently lately and needs another fresh […]

Mike Foltynewicz Has Ugly Outing Versus Tigers

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz continued his sluggish performance on the mound versus the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. He went four innings, five hits allowed, five earned runs, two walks, and four strikeouts during Thursday's loss. Foltynewicz also allowed three home runs during the 7-5 defeat. That'll move his record to an ugly 2-10 […]

Austin Riley Notches RBI On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley was able to put together a decent performance on Wednesday. He went 1-for-2 with an RBI during Wednesday's 2-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. Riley's sac-fly was the only RBI for the Braves in this game. They managed only five hits and didn't look sharp at the plate. Despite […]

John Hicks Delivers RBI Double

Texas Rangers catcher John Hicks brought some life to this offense during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Hicks went 1-for-4 with an RBI double off righty Matt Manning in the second inning. The veteran catcher has cooled off since smacking four home runs in a four game span. Hopefully, this is a sign that […]

Jordan Lyles Has Lackluster Outing On Wednesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles continued his mediocre pitching versus the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. He went seven innings, allowing six hits, four earned runs, and struck out five in the 4-2 loss. Lyles allowed three home runs in this contest, which moved his season total to 25 homers allowed. Those 25 blasts allowed […]

James White Unlikely To Have Consistent Role

New England Patriots running back James White has spent the first seven years of his career with this organization. However, a change of scenery might've be the best for his fantasy value. Despite that, he signed a one-year deal with New England over the offseason. As of right now, Damien Harris is expected to be […]
