Teoscar Hernandez Absent On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. There is no injury being reported, so it's assumed that this is a routine rest day for Hernandez. It is a bit odd to see Hernandez getting a day off against a left-handed starting […]

Framber Valdez Posts Quality Outing

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez was solid on the mound during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The southpaw allowed one run on six hits over seven innings of work in the win. Valdez struck out seven batters while walking two hitters on the day. This wasn't an easy task for Valdez, but he […]

Yainer Diaz Knocks in Three Runs

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz had a solid day at the plate during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Diaz went 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's win. All of his hits were singles, but fantasy managers will take a three-RBI game any day. This season Diaz is slashing .264/.292/.412 with […]

Kodai Senga Faces Live Hitters

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (shoulder) was able to throw a successful 22-pitch live bullpen session on Sunday. This is the first time that Senga has been able to face hitters since early May. The expectation is that Senga will do this again before heading out on a rehab assignment. It's a step […]

Jake Irvin Strikes Out 10 Batters

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jake Irvin made easy work of the Colorado Rockies during Sunday's outing. Irvin allowed one run on three hits over six innings in a no-decision. The 27-year-old did everything he could even striking out 10 batters during this outing. His only mistake was allowing a solo home run to Michael Toglia […]

Kyle Freeland Looks Sharp In Return

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland made his return to the mound after not pitching since mid-April. The left-hander showed no signs of rust as he cruised through the Washington Nationals hitters on Sunday. Freeland threw six shutout innings, allowing one hit while striking out four batters in the no-decision. The veteran southpaw hasn't always […]

Kyle Finnegan Notches 22nd Save

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan has been a feel-good story through the first three months of the regular season. The right-hander was called upon to hold a one-run lead against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Finnegan allowed back-to-back singles to start the inning. He was able to battle back and recorded the next three […]

Byron Buxton Homers In Win

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was the main source of offense for his team during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Buxton opened up the scoring with a solo shot off Hogan Harris to give the Twins the lead in the second inning. He'd knock in another RBI with a double in the seventh inning. […]

Pablo Lopez Notches 14 Strikeouts

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez delivered his best performance of the season during Sunday's outing against the Oakland Athletics. The right-hander recorded 14 strikeouts over eight shutout innings in the win. The 28-year-old only gave up two hits, which were both singles and walked one during his fantastic outing. This was a great bounce […]

Alex Bregman Records Four Hits

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman was on fire at the plate during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Bregman went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in the blowout win. The veteran slugger recorded two doubles and two singles but still somehow didn't come away with an RBI. Regardless, Bregman has been […]

Max Scherzer Tosses Five Shutout Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer made his much anticipated season debut against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The 39-year-old threw five shutout innings, while allowing only one hit in the win. Scherzer also struck out four batters while walking no one with only 57 pitches. The expectation is that the Rangers are going […]

Sonny Gray Posts Stellar Performance

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray was fantastic on the mound during Sunday's outing against the San Francisco Giants. The right-hander allowed one run on one hit over seven innings of work in the victory. Gray also struck over eight batters and walked no one during this start. The only mistake Gray made was […]

Heston Kjerstad Expected To Be Recalled

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad is expected to be recalled ahead of Monday's game. The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A after a short stint with the team in mid-May. During that time, Kjerstad recorded only two hits through 17 plate appearances. The Orioles didn't have enough playing time available in order for them to keep […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Could Have Bigger Role

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has reportedly looked more explosive during offseason workouts and mandatory minicamp. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has praised McLaughlin for his speed and explosiveness. It certainly appears that McLaughlin could earn himself a bigger role next season. However, he still has to compete in a crowded backfield with Javonte Williams, […]

Demario Douglas Impressing This Spring

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas has reportedly looked like the best and most explosive playmaker this spring. The former sixth-round pick was impressive during his rookie season with the Pats last season. He finished with 49 receptions and lead the team with 561 receiving yards in 14 games. The Pats failed to add […]

Cole Hamels Officially Retires

After 15 seasons in Major League Baseball, left-hander Cole Hamels has decided to officially retire. The 40-year-old hasn't pitched in a MLB game since the 2020 season with the Atlanta Braves. Hamels made one appearance with Atlanta before suffering an injury that forced him to miss the rest of the season. He was a four-time […]

Will Smith Absent On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. It's a bit odd to see Smith taking a seat against a left-handed starting pitcher. There was no reported injury and Smith did start in three of the four games of their series against […]

Luis Campusano Scratched On Friday

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. There is no word yet on why Campusano was pulled from the lineup. The Padres should give an update on his status shortly. In his place, Kyle Higashioka will cover behind the plate and […]

Max Scherzer Won't Start On Saturday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back, thumb) won't make his season debut on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. There was speculation that Scherzer would be getting the ball this upcoming weekend. Instead, right-hander Jon Gray will get the starting nod against the Royals on Saturday. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Scherzer hasn't suffered […]

CJ Abrams Returning On Friday

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (wrist) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 23-year-old is back on the field after missing each of the last two games due to a wrist issue. He was dealing with a cyst near his wrist but it feels good enough for […]

Charlie Blackmon Heads To Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The veteran outfielder will miss some time after battling a lingering hamstring issue over the last week. This is bad timing with Blackmon hitting over .300 in the last two weeks. In a corresponding move, outfielder Sam Hilliard has […]

Jace Jung Placed On Injured List

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Jace Jung (wrist) has been placed on the seven-day injured list on Friday. This comes a day after Jung was scratched from Thursday's game due to wrist soreness. There was some speculation that Jung was getting called up, but in fact it was injury related. The 23-year-old will remain in Triple-A, […]

Marvin Harrison Jr. Has Been Early Standout

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been impressive throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp. As expected, Harrison has emerged as the top option in the wide receiver room. This comes as no shock given his talent and the fact the Cardinals selected him as the 4th overall pick in this year's draft. The rookie […]

Tre Tucker Could See Increased Role

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker put together a fairly quiet rookie campaign, but could see a bigger role next season. Tucker is a bit undersized but Raiders' head coach Antonio Pierce doesn't care about his size and says everyone should watch Tucker play. Tucker finished with 19 receptions for 331 receiving yards and […]

Jalin Hyatt Adds Weight This Offseason

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has reportedly put on weight this offseason. The second-year wideout is listed as 185 pounds heading into camp. Hyatt didn't provide the exact number, but he has added some bulk this offseason. The young wideout mentioned that he needed to get bigger in order to play more on […]

Matt Waldron Impressive On Wednesday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Waldron looked sharp on the mound during Wednesday's outing versus the Philadelphia Phillies. The right-hander allowed one run over seven innings of work in the win. Waldron recorded six strikeouts while allowing five hits and a pair of walks as well. The 27-year-old has allowed two earned runs or […]

Jackson Merrill Continues Power Surge

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill remained hot at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The rookie outfielder went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in the victory. It marked his eighth home run of the season and his fifth over the last seven games. The 21-year-old has been crushing everything lately […]

Bryce Harper Launches Two Homers

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper came ready to play during Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. The superstar slugger went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs during Wednesday's loss. Harper tied the game with a no-doubt blast in the third inning. Sadly, it wasn't enough as the Padres took the game 5-2 […]

Sean Murphy Blasts Two Home Runs

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy was seemingly the entire offense during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran catcher went 4-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in the 7-0 victory. Murphy was slumping at the plate, but four hits and four RBIs will certainly help that. He missed the first two months […]

Bryan Reynolds Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The switch-hitter took right-hander Nick Martinez deep in the eighth inning to break the scoreless tie. His go-ahead blast ended up being the only score of the game. The 29-year-old is now batting .343 with three home […]
