Jarred Kelenic Has Ten-Game Hitless Streak

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic went 0-for-4 against the Angels Saturday, giving him an unfortunate ten-game hitless streak. Though he's reached base five times in that span via walk, Kelenic has not given fantasy managers much to be happy about,. Despite his struggles, he still deserves to be on fantasy rosters in all formats. Kelenic's […]

Yusei Kikuchi Pitches Well Before Exiting

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) was forced out of Saturday's matchup with a knee contusion after being hit by a comebacker, but he was pitching quite well up to that point.

Eduardo Rodriguez Solid on Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was solid in his start against the Yankees Saturday, throwing 5 1/3 innings with three runs allowed on five hits and a walk while striking out seven.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec was not originally in Saturday's lineup, but took advantage of the opportunity when he was inserted due to J.D. Martinez's jammed wrist.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes faced three Yankees Friday night, and he struck each of them out to earn his 13th save of the season. Barnes has been outstanding all season, allowing runs in just four of his 24 outings this year, giving him an ERA of 2.52. As long as he keeps […]

Marwin Gonzalez Drives In Two

Boston Red Sox utility man Marwin Gonzalez drove in two runs Friday, going 2-for-4 with two doubles against the Yankees while playing first base. Gonzalez has a terrible slash line of .199/.287/.291 for the year with just one homer and two steals, and he could be at risk of losing playing time. He'll stay on […]

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford has been moved to the leadoff spot of late, replacing the struggling Jarred Kelenic, and he justified the move Thursday.

Kyle Seager Homers, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a strong night Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, and a stolen base.

Bobby Dalbec Strikes Out Four Times Thursday

J.D. Martinez Doubles Twice Thursday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez went 2-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored Thursday afternoon against the Houston Astros. After a very hot start to the season, Martinez has cooled somewhat, with a .279/.313/.459 slash line over his last 15 games.

Christian Arroyo Hits First Home Run Of The Year

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo went deep Thursday afternoon, hitting a three-run shot off Astros starter Jake Odorizzi to get the scoring started. It was his first of the season. Arroyo has been solid in limited time this season, slashing .282/.330/.412 over his 85 at-bats, but he doesn't get enough playing time to […]
