Chicago White Sox catcher James McCann will rest on Thursday versus the Royals.

Castillo is no more than a dart throw […]

Kyle Schwarber Will Sit Wednesday Versus Reds

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will sit on Wednesday versus the Reds. Schwarber has been on a home run streak lately and has hit three bombs over the last three games. Schwarber is a solid source for power and OPS and should be started in all formats as long as he’s hitting home runs. David […]

Robel Garcia Goes Yard

Chicago Cubs second baseman Robel Garcia went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored. Garcia has started six games since making his big league debut July 3.
