Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was teeing off on the Cleveland Indians pitching staff on Wednesday.

Julio Teheran Twirls Stellar Outing on Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran was dominant against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. The righty went seven innings allowing a single run on two hits. He also had five strikeouts and picked up the win. Teheran has struggled with inconsistent performances all season long, but this was his third straight quality start. His […]

Ronald Acuna Back in the Home Run Column on Wednesday

Atlanta Braves phenom outfielder Ronald Acuna hit his 20th home run of the season on Wednesday night. He was 1-for-3 at the plate with a walk. The home run was also Acuna's sixth leadoff bomb of the year. The rookie has been incredibly impressive in the month of August with nine homers, 17 RBI, five […]

Devon Travis Blasts Three-Run Shot on Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis smacked his 10th home run of the season on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. The three-run blast was the only hit of the game for Travis. Unfortunately, Travis tends to be a perennial fantasy disappointment and 2018 has been no different. He has a paltry .234 average on […]

Thomas Pannone Carries No-Hitter Into Seventh Inning Against Orioles

Toronto Blue Jays rookie pitcher Thomas Pannone was fantastic in his first career start on Wednesday afternoon. Pannone carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Trey Mancini singled. Regardless, it would be the only hit that Pannone allowed as he went seven scoreless with three strikeouts and two walks. The Blue Jays offense also […]

Kendrys Morales Hits Another Home on Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Kendrys Morales has been crushing baseballs lately. Morales smacked his fifth homer in his past four games on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. After a dismal start to the season, the veteran has been electric at the plate over his past seven games. In that span, Morales has a .565 […]

Kevin Gausman Throws Eight Shutout Innings on Tuesday

Atlanta Braves starter Kevin Gausman was great on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The former Oriole picked up the win after eight scoreless innings, allowing four hits while walking two batters and striking out five. Gausman has been especially solid lately, as he is 3-0 in his last three starts while only allowing three runs […]

Dansby Swanson Smack Two Homers on Tuesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson belted two home runs on Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was the first multi-homer game of Swanson's career. The 24-year-old has picked it up at the plate recently, as he is carrying a .360 average with three bombs and 10 RBI through his past seven games. This has […]

Dalvin Cook Could Appear in Preseason Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (knee) could realistically make his preseason debut on Friday against the Seattle Seahawks. Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo mentioned that the team is "looking forward to possibly seeing him out there". While it seems like a foregone conclusion that Cook will play in Week 1 of the regular season, […]

Daniel Murphy To Be Acquired By Cubs

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy is heading to the Windy City as he was acquired by the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday afternoon. Prospect infielder Andruw Monasterio is going back to the Nationals. Murphy was recovering from microfracture knee surgery for the first 63 games of the season and struggled upon his return. Since then, […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Will Likely Make Another Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez (ankle) will likely need another rehab start before being activated off of the disabled list according to manager Alex Cora. Rodriguez made his first rehab start on Monday with Double-A Portland and pitched very well. He allowed a single hit across four scoreless innings of work while striking out […]

Nick Markakis Up to 81 RBI on the Season

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis delivered all the offense his team needed in a 1-0 victory. Markakis singled home a run in the first inning and the pitching staff did the rest. Markakis has been struggling at getting on base lately as he is just 5-for-27 in his last seven games, but the run-producing ability […]

Bryse Wilson Stellar in MLB Debut

Atlanta Braves prospect Bryse Wilson had a debut to remember on Monday night as he picked up his first career win in a 1-0 Braves victory. The 20-year-old went five scoreless innings, allowing just three hits while walking three batters and striking out five. The fact that Wilson was starting tonight is somewhat incredible itself […]

Xander Bogaerts Tacks on Three RBI on Monday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had a strong performance on Monday against the Cleveland Indians in a losing effort. Bogaerts was 2-for-5 at the plate with three runs driven in. Bogaerts has been great all season long, as evidenced by his .281 average, 77 RBI, and 17 home runs. He is also one of […]

Rick Porcello Has Another Inadequate Outing

Boston Red Sox starter Rick Porcello was saddled with the loss on Monday night against the Cleveland Indians. Porcello went seven innings, allowing five runs on six hits (three of which were home runs). Porcello has been wildly inconsistent over his past seven starts. In three of those games, he has allowed one run or […]

Marco Estrada Picks Up 7th Win of Season

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada managed to pick up the win on Monday night against the Baltimore Orioles. He went 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while walking three batters and striking out four. It was not a sharp performance by Estrada, but at least he did not get completely demolished. […]

Jose Altuve Will Be Activated on Tuesday

Houston Astros star second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) will be activated off of the disabled list on Tuesday. Altuve felt good after his rehab appearance on Sunday with Triple-A Fresno. He is the reigning American League MVP and he could not return at a better time for the Astros who are trying to fend off […]

Kendrys Morales Notches Two Homers on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Kendrys Morales smacked two homers against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night. He was 2-for-4 at the plate with 4 RBI.

Mike Boone Heating Up Vikings RB3 Competition

A week after Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas delivered a standout preseason performance (131 total yards, two touchdowns), fellow RB Mike Boone came up with one of his own. The undrafted Boone carried the ball 13 times for 91 yards and a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday. He was really the lone […]

Hector Velazquez Takes Tough Loss on Sunday

With Chris Sale sidelined, the Boston Red Sox turned to reliever Hector Velazquez for a spot-start on Sunday and he delivered. A solo shot given up to Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Joey Wendle was the only blemish through four innings of work, but the Red Sox offense was shutout and saddled Velazquez with his first […]

Ryan Borucki Destroyed by Yankees on Sunday

Ryan Borucki is just the latest Toronto Blue Jays starter to get torched by the New York Yankees. On Sunday afternoon, Borucki failed to get out of the first inning, only recording two measly outs before being pulled from the game. He gave up six earned runs on four hits (one of which was a […]

Bryse Wilson Making First Career MLB Start on Monday

Atlanta Braves prospect pitcher Bryse Wilson will be making his MLB debut on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It is quite the meteoric rise for the 20-year-old, as he went from starting the season in High-A to making his MLB debut in the same year. Wilson is an exciting young talent who has pitched well […]

Johan Camargo Tacks on Two RBI on Sunday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo drove in the Braves only two runs on Sunday afternoon against the Colorado Rockies. Camargo has been quietly effective this season and has been playing especially great in the past month. He has hit .296 over his past 30 games with four homers and 20 RBI. For the season […]

Anibal Sanchez Pitches Well In Losing Effort on Sunday

Atlanta Braves starter Anibal Sanchez pitched a solid game on Sunday, although he ended up with the loss. He tossed 6 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on five hits while striking out eight batters and walking two. The loss pushed his record to 6-4 on the season, but he still has a fantastic 3.13 […]

Kelvin Herrera Tosses Simulated Game on Saturday

Washington Nationals reliever Kelvin Herrera (shoulder) threw a successful simulated game on Saturday as part of his rehab. Since it went so well, it seems like there is a chance that Herrera could return sometime next week. Ryan Madson (back) and Sean Doolittle (foot) are currently out of commission, so Herrera should conceivably see some […]

Jake Marisnick Working in Batting Cage on Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick (groin) was taking swings in the batting cage on Saturday. He is also scheduled to run the bases on Sunday afternoon. Marisnick's return is not imminent, however, as manager A.J. Hinch mentioned that the 27-year-old is "still a little bit away" from rejoining the team. Even though he plays on […]

Chris Sale Heading Back to the DL

Boston Red Sox starter Chris Sale (shoulder) is going back to the disabled list after returning to the team last Sunday. Sale was electric in his first start back, striking out 12 batters and allowing only a single hit across five shutout innings. Regardless, it seems as though the shoulder is still giving him problems, […]

Latavius Murray Fumbles Twice on Saturday

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray fumbled twice on Saturday and one of them was recovered by the Jacksonville Jaguars defense. This was a very strange display by Murray, as he only fumbled once in 11 starts last season. Murray had 12 yards on six carries against the Jaguars. This was a disappointing outing from […]

Jhan Marinez Set to Begin Rehab Assignment on Monday

Baltimore Orioles reliever Jhan Marinez (hamstring) is set to start a rehab assignment in the Gulf Coast League on Monday. Marinez has a 5.63 ERA across eight innings with the Orioles this season. He has had some decent relief seasons in the past, but he has no fantasy value whatsoever anymore.

Adam Thielen Still Has No Preseason Receptions

Minnesota Vikings wideout Adam Thielen has yet to catch an in-game pass from new quarterback Kirk Cousins. In Saturday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Thielen was targeted three times but each pass wound up incomplete. Thielen and Cousins had a fantastic repertoire with each other throughout training camp, so chemistry is not the issue. Saturday […]
