Nick Pivetta Knocked Out In The Second Inning

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta didn't manage to make it through two innings in his start against the New York Yankees Wednesday, being pulled after recording five outs and throwing 57 pitches. Pivetta probably deserved better, as his defense did very little to help him, but in the end he allowed four runs […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Refuses To Stop Hitting Home Runs

San Diego Padres shortstop/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. has faced plenty of adversity this season, but he continues to knock the cover off the ball regardless.

He also went 2-for-4 with the team's only RBI in a 3-1 loss to Cleveland. Polanco has put together an excellent all-around season, with […]

Bailey Ober Takes Hard-Luck Loss

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober took his second loss of the season Tuesday despite a strong effort, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and no walks in six innings against Cleveland. Ober has steadily improved as his season has gone along, with a 2.76 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 14 strikeouts in 16 […]

Chad Green Earns Fifth Save In Nightcap

New York Yankees relief pitcher Chad Green earned his fifth save of the year Tuesday, closing out the second game of the doubleheader with the Boston Red Sox. Green didn't allow a baserunner, striking out one batter in his inning of work. Green appears to be the primary closer option for manager Aaron Boone with […]

Luke Voit Homers In Game Two Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit had a strong day Tuesday, going deep in the nightcap against the Boston Red Sox. He went 1-for-2 with a walk, two RBI, and a run scored in the first game, and 1-for-3 with his sixth home run of the year in the second game, a solo shot […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Locks Down Two-Inning Save

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga locked down a two-inning save in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, but he came awfully close to blowing it, loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the seventh inning before weaseling his way out of trouble. All told, he […]

Diego Castillo Pitches The Eighth Tuesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Diego Castillo earned his fifth hold of the season Tuesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in his inning of work against the Texas Rangers. It was a solid outing for Castillo, but fantasy managers will be quick to note that Castillo pitched the eighth inning, setting up for […]

Paul Sewald Earns Fifth Save Tuesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald pitched for the first time since returning from the paternity list Tuesday, entering for the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead over the Texas Rangers. He successfully shut down the opposition, allowing one hit and striking out one batter on his way to earning his fifth save of the […]

Tyler Anderson Stifles The Rangers Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Tyler Anderson had his strongest outing since joining the team on Tuesday, going six innings and only giving up one run on three hits and no walks to the Texas Rangers. He struck out four batters and earned his sixth win of the season. Anderson has brought some much-needed stability to […]

Luis Torrens Hits 14th Homer

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens added another home run to his total Tuesday night, hitting his 14th long ball off of Texas Rangers relief pitcher Brett Martin in a 3-1 victory. Torrens went 2-for-4 in the game while batting seventh as the designated hitter. He now has a modest five-game hitting streak going, with seven […]

Juan Soto Reaches Three Times, Scores Twice

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto remains an on-base machine, reaching base safely three more times in Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Soto went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and two runs scored. Soto has an outrageous .536 OBP over his last 30 games, and there's very little cause to […]

Riley Adams Smacks Second Homer Tuesday

Washington Nationals catcher Riley Adams had the best game of his career at the plate Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and three runs scored. It's only the second home run of the rookie's career in 51 at-bats. Adams is not getting the full complement […]

Yadiel Hernandez Homers, Drives In Three

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez had a big day at the plate against the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored. The home run, a two-run shot off starting pitcher Alek Manoah, was Hernandez's fifth of the season. Hernandez has been on fire at the plate […]

Erick Fedde Takes Fifth Win

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde earned his fifth win of the season Tuesday, holding the Toronto Blue Jays to three runs on five hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out four batters. It wasn't the prettiest of outings, but the Nationals lineup scored enough runs that it didn't matter in a […]

Nathan Eovaldi Takes Loss In Solid Outing

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi took his eighth loss of the season in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the New York Yankees despite pitching well. He allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk in five innings while striking out six. Both runs against him came via the long ball, […]

Tanner Houck Allows Two Runs In Game One

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck was recalled to start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the New York Yankees, and he went four innings, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks. He struck out two batters. Houck didn't have his best stuff in this one, but he battled enough to […]

Christian Vazquez Breaks Homerless Streak

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez had a 127 at-bat homerless streak before going deep in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the New York Yankees. Vazquez went 2-for-3 in the game with his fifth home run of the year. Vazquez has endured a dismal season by his standards, with a .650 OPS in […]

Daniel Hudson Takes Loss Against Rockies

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Daniel Hudson entered Monday night's game against the Colorado Rockies in the bottom of the ninth inning with the score tied, but he wasn't able to keep the Rockies off the board. He took the loss in a close 6-5 game, allowing a one-out walk-off home run to C.J. Cron. […]

Jake Cronenworth Scores Two Runs

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth reached base three times Monday, going 2-for-3 with a walk, and he came around to score twice. Cronenworth has had a very solid season, but he's been especially successful in his last 30 games, slashing .278/.346/.548 with five homers in that span. Cronenworth should be a popular trade target […]

Ryan Weathers Lasts Four Innings

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ryan Weathers lasted four innings against the Colorado Rockies Monday night. He allowed five runs on eight hits and no walks with three strikeouts. His ERA climbed to 5.06 as a result. With their dwindling rotation, the Padres could really use more length from Weathers, who has not completed five […]

Trent Grisham Hits Game-Tying Homer

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham hit a game-tying home run off Colorado Rockies relief pitcher with two outs in the ninth Monday night. The three-run shot was his only hit of the game in four at-bats, and was his 13th long ball of the year. Grisham has been dropped to eighth in the order […]

Jorge Polanco Walks Three Times, Scores Twice Sunday

Minnesota Twins infielder Jorge Polanco continued his strong season Sunday, reaching three times via the walk in four plate appearances against the Tampa Bay Rays, coming around to score on two of those occasions and driving in one run. Polanco has been outstanding over his past 30 games with a .319/.380/.664 slash line, 11 home […]

Josh Donaldson Drives In Three Against Rays

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson drove in three runs against the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a double. This was Donaldson's first extra-base hit since July 26. While Donaldson is enjoying another strong year with an .816 OPS, 16 home runs, 48 runs, and 48 RBI in 297 at-bats, it's been a […]

Max Kepler Reaches Four Times Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler had a big day at the plate Sunday, going 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, and three runs scored. Kepler has now scored three runs in consecutive games. It's been a tough stretch for the lefty swinger of late, with just two multi-hit games since July 25, but perhaps Kepler […]
