Jason Alexander Scatters Runners In Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jason Alexander made his major-league debut Wednesday and managed to allow just three runs (two earned) to score despite scattering seven hits and three walks across seven innings. He struck out three batters and took a no-decision in the 4-3 loss to the Cubs. It's unclear whether Alexander will receive another […]

Jace Peterson Adds Three Extra-Base Hits

Milwaukee Brewers utility man Jace Peterson continues to perform admirably as a fill-in all over the diamond. On Wednesday, Peterson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple, an RBI, and a run scored. In his last seven games he's slashing .389/.421/1.000 with two home runs in 18 at-bats, and for the season he has managed […]

Bryan Reynolds Homers And Swipes A Bag

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has quietly been turning his season around of late, culminating in a 2-for-3 performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday night to complete a series sweep. Reynolds had a home run, a steal, two walks, two RBI, and two runs scored. He's slashed .241/.323/.517 with four homers and two steals […]

Gavin Lux Reaches Base Three Times Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Gavin Lux had a solid game Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored. Lux has picked things up over his last seven games, slashing .348/.423/.435 with a stolen base in 23 at-bats. Unfortunately, Lux has not offered as much in […]

Nick Castellanos Homers In Second Straight Game

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos went deep again Monday, giving him home runs in back-to-back games. He was 2-for-4 with the solo shot and a strikeout. He now has a modest five-game hitting streak, giving fantasy managers some hope that his .263/.320/.441 slash line for the season should be improving in short order. With seven […]

Wilmer Flores Homers Monday

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores went deep Monday, knocking a two-run home run in a 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. It was his only hit in five at-bats. Flores now has a .258/.318/.419 slash line in 168 plate appearances, with five homers, 24 runs scored, and 27 RBI. He's earned regular playing […]

Luis Guillorme Earning More Opportunities

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme has been on a significant hot streak of late, slashing .475/.533/.525 over his last 15 games, and he has even occupied the leadoff spot in the batting order while Brandon Nimmo has been out with injury. Guillorme doesn't offer much in the way of power or speed, with just […]

Mark Canha Scores Three Runs Monday

New York Mets outfielder Mark Canha reached base three times against the Washington Nationals Monday, going 2-for-4 with a walk, and he came around to score each time. Canha has had a productive last 15 games, slashing .286/.365/.446 with three of his four homers on the season in 56 at-bats. The power is a welcome […]

Nick Plummer Homers Again Monday

New York Mets outfielder Nick Plummer continues to make his presence felt since being called up to the big league team. After hitting a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning off Phillies closer Corey Knebel on Sunday, Plummer had a monster game Monday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, […]

Tanner Rainey Records Fourth Save

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Tanner Rainey earned his fourth save of the season Wednesday, allowing one hit and one run to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a scoreless inning of work to preserve a 1-0 victory. While save opportunities have been hard to come by, it's clear that Rainey remains the top option for manager […]

Harold Castro Homers Twice Wednesday

Detroit Tigers utility man Harold Castro got the start at shortstop Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins, and he made the most of it, homering twice in a 3-for-4 effort to lead the team to a 4-2 victory. Castro has played all over the diamond this season, garnering 75 plate appearances as a part-time contributor, but […]

Ben Gamel Drives In Two Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ben Gamel continued his strong early-season performance Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in a 10-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Gamel has never had a breakout season, but he's performed well for a Pittsburgh team that seems content to have him occupy a prominent spot in its […]

Jakob Junis Earns Win Wednesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jakob Junis earned his second win of the season Wednesday, throwing six strong innings against the New York Mets. Junis held the Mets to just two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four, giving him his first quality start of the year. Junis has appeared in […]

Mike Yastrzemski Homers In Wednesday Win

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski continued his hot hitting on Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run, and two runs scored from the third spot in the lineup. Yastrzemski now has a nine-game hitting streak going, and he's slashing .330/.430/.540 with four home runs over his last 30 games. It's a […]

Joc Pederson Continues Homer Binge

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Wednesday's 9-3 victory over the New York Mets. This follows up a heroic effort the prior evening, when Pederson slugged three home runs and singled in six at-bats, driving in eight runs in the process. Pederson is now […]

Eugenio Suarez Hits Ninth Homer Monday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez hit a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 victory over the Oakland Athletics, his ninth of the season. He also walked in four plate appearances. Suarez now has an eight-game hitting streak, with three homers in that span. He has a .227/.320/.474 slash line with 25 RBI and 23 […]

Cal Raleigh Knocks Fourth Homer

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit his fourth home run of the season Monday, going 2-for-4 from the ninth spot in the lineup in a 7-6 victory over the Oakland Athletics. With Tom Murphy out injured, Raleigh and Luis Torrens have been splitting the catching duties, occasionally even both making the starting lineup by use […]

Brandon Crawford Goes Deep Monday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford hit a home run Monday night, providing two of the three runs the team could muster against the New York Mets. He also singled in four at-bats. Crawford now has four homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored, and one steal on the season to go with his .218/.306/.352 slash […]

Alex Cobb Again Victimized By Bad Defense

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb deserved better than the results he got against the New York Mets Monday night. He was charged with six runs on ten hits in six innings, but he could have easily escaped his disastrous third inning if not for two infield hits and a misplayed fly ball to […]

J.D. Davis Tallies Four Hits

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis had a four-hit game against the San Francisco Giants Monday night, adding two doubles, two RBI, and two runs scored in five at-bats. In doing so, he raised his slash line for the season to .230/.326/.351. Davis has been among the unluckiest hitters in baseball, with not much […]

Pete Alonso Has Three Hits, Slugs 11th Homer

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso continued on his offensive tear Monday night, going 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in a 13-3 drubbing of the San Francisco Giants. Alonso's 11th homer came as part of a five-run third inning off starter Alex Cobb. With 40 RBI in just […]

Jeff McNeil Homers And Steals A Base

New York Mets utility man Jeff McNeil had another big game Monday night against the San Francisco Giants, going 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, a stolen base, three runs scored, and two RBI. McNeil has just two homers and two steals on the season, but he is one of the premier batting average […]

Kolten Wong Among Leaders In Steals

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong has stolen five bases in May, keeping him among the league leaders in steals on the season with eight. He has only been caught once this season. Although a .226/.310/.380 slash line leaves plenty to be desired, Wong has also chipped in three homers, 20 runs, and 13 RBI […]

Randy Arozarena Looking Better In May

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena has been among the more disappointing players for fantasy managers to start the season, but there have been some signs of improvement in the month of May. In 17 games since the calendar turned, Arozarena is slashing a decent .274/.313/.468 with two home runs and three steals. He's also […]

Sandy Alcantara Leads League In Innings Pitched

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara threw another gem Monday night, with his eight-inning performance against the Washington Nationals vaulting him to the top of the leaderboard for innings pitched this season. Alcantara allowed just one run on three hits and a walk with two hit batters and five strikeouts. He has five quality starts […]

Aaron Nola Winless In Last Seven Starts

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola has started eight games this season, pitching to a 3.64 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 47 innings, and yet he has gone winless since Opening Day, garnering a disappointing 1-4 record for the season. Still, fantasy managers have to be encouraged by the early returns for the righty, as […]

Josh Hader Remains Unscored Upon

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader recorded his 14th save of the season in a 1-0 victory over Atlanta on Monday, setting down all three batters he faced via the strikeout. Hader has now pitched 13 1/3 innings this season and allowed exactly zero runs. Only seven batters have reached base against him all year, […]
