Raimel Tapia Optioned To Triple-A

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia was sent back to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for starting pitcher German Marquez. Marquez had been sidelined for paternity leave. Since being called up on July 1, Tapia had only started three games, so it was logical that he was going to be sent back down. He's still a […]

Alex Gordon Still Can't Hit

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon went 0-for-4 on Thursday to continue another epic slide. Gordon's current slump, not to be confused with any of his other many slumps, consists of him hitting just .167 for the month of July. His .214 on-base percentage once again verifies that Gordon should not be seeing regular playing […]

Logan Moon Released By Royals

Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Logan Moon was released on Friday after a horrendous season at Triple-A Omaha. Moon was never really considered one of KC's top prospects until he tore up Triple-A in the second half of 2017, but whatever clicked then was gone by the time 2018 rolled around. The 26-year-old sixth-round pick […]

Adalberto Mondesi Boots Two Balls

Kansas City Royals rookie second baseman/shortstop Adalberto Mondesi slapped a single, stole a base, and booted a pair of balls that led to four unearned runs on Thursday. Mondesi was getting the chance to play shortstop, and he once again struggled defensively. Manager Ned Yost dismissed questions about Mondesi's defense after the game, but it […]

Brian Goodwin Continues To Hit The AL

Kansas City Royals outfielder Brian Goodwin smacked another pair of hits on Thursday to stay perfect on hitting as an American Leaguer. Goodwin has appeared in three games for the Royals since they acquired him over the weekend, and so far, he's 5-for-9 with a double. Goodwin should continue to see plenty of chances, and […]

Jake Junis Becomes A Pariah In New York

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jake Junis was unable to overcome some defensive miscues and took the loss against the Yankees on Thursday, but that's not what any of the fans care about. Junis also plunked reigning King of New York Aaron Judge on the right wrist, chipping a bone and robbing the fans of […]

Salvador Perez Hits Fifth Homer Of July

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez has figured it out again, and he's back to contributing across the board. After slumping horribly through the month of June, Perez is back to his old self in July by knocking five home runs and batting .276 over the 19 games. This is the Perez of 2017 when […]

Jason Verrett Possibly Tore His Achilles

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Jason Verrett is feared to be lost for the season after suffering an injury during a conditioning test on the first day of training camp. Verrett was considered one of the linchpins of the Los Angeles defense, but he's suffered a string of injuries that have hampered his production. The 27-year-old […]

Seung Hwan Oh Officially Dealt To Rockies

The Colorado Rockies have officially acquired relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for first baseman Chad Spanberger, outfielder Forrest Wall, and a player to be named later. Oh should help settle down the rocky middle innings for Colorado, and the hope is that this will take some pressure off […]

Burch Smith Tames Tigers For MLB Record

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Burch Smith posted a stellar outing against Detroit on Tuesday to pick up his first major league win since 2013. It was also a record-setting performance for lowly Kansas City because it made the third-straight day in which a rookie started a game and went six innings while allowing three […]

Lucas Duda Sitting On Wednesday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda takes a seat on Wednesday in favor of rookie Hunter Dozier. Duda has been showing off recently, but with a lefty on the mound to start the game, Duda will take a break. Duda has been auditioning for other teams, and is still likely going to end up […]

Wily Peralta Records Fifth Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Wily Peralta was on point again as he nailed down his fifth save of the season on Tuesday night. Peralta wasn't perfect as a triple to Nick Catellanos led to a run, but when the rest of the bullpen around him struggles so much, he still comes out looking great. […]

Lucas Duda Extends Hit Streak, Drives In Three Runs

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda smacked a pair of singles to drive in three runs and get KC on the board in the first couple of innings on Monday. The knocks also gave Duda a five-game hitting streak as the trade deadline bears down on the MLB universe. Duda is one of those […]

Brian Goodwin Has Strong KC Debut

Newly acquired Kansas City Royals outfielder Brian Goodwin got his first taste of action in the blue and white on Monday, and he came through with a pair of singles in his two at-bats. The team traded for the 27-year-old on Sunday in hopes that he may be their shot-in-the-dark answer at center field for […]

Drew Butera Continues To Roll

Kansas City Royals backup catcher Drew Butera is on a little bit of a tear. A day after showing off his wheels by legging out an inside-the-park home run, the 34-year-old backstop smacked three hits against the Tigers. It's Butera's first three-hit game in over a year and only his third multi-hit game this season. […]

Heath Fillmyer Saddled With No-Decision

Kansas City Royals pitcher Heath Fillmyer tossed a gem in his second career start, but he was robbed of the win by Brandon Maurer. Filmyer went 6 2/3 innings while allowing just one earned run and striking out six. His offense even came through for him, but the KC bullpen let him down. Filmyer wasn't […]

Brandon Maurer Is Still Bad

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brandon Maurer continues to reinforce the belief that his 14.25 ERA isn't a mistake. Maurer blew the save opportunity on Monday night by giving up a single and a pair of doubles to open the ninth inning. Tasked with closing the game because closer Wily Peralta had worked three straight […]

Wade Davis Available On Saturday

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis told reporters that he's available to pitch on Saturday. Davis stated he had food poisoning on Friday and is feeling much better now. Adam Ottavino should return to his regular setup role while Davis takes over the ninth inning unless any surprises happen during the game. Davis is second in […]

Lucas Duda Knocks Three Hits In Win

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda drilled his eighth home run on Friday and posted his first three-hit game since early May as the Royals squeaked out a win against the Twins. The big lefty slugger has clearly been on the trade block for KC, and the hopes are that he can fetch a […]

Wily Peralta Knocked Around By Twins

Kansas City Royals reliever Wily Peralta had a rough go in a non-save situation on Friday and eventually got pulled after giving up three earned runs in the top of the ninth inning. Peralta was handed the ball with a four-run lead, but he quickly gave up a leadoff double, walked a man, and then […]

Danny Duffy Dominates Again

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy kept rolling by shutting down the Twins for seven innings in his first start back from the All-Star break. Duffy allowed just five hits while walking three and striking out four, and the bullpen held on just well enough to give Duffy his sixth win of the season. […]

German Marquez Knocked Around In Arizona

In a rare hiccup on the road, Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez was hit hard by the Diamondbacks on Friday. Marquez would end up with a no-decision after a late-inning rally by his offense, but he allowed six runs in five innings while walking three and striking out six. It was only the second […]

Adam Ottavino Closes Out Rocky Save

Colorado Rockies setup man Adam Ottavino got the chance to finish a game on Friday due to closer Wade Davis' illness, and he got the job done, although he had to navigate some rough waters. Ottavino shot himself in the foot to start the inning by making a poor throw that allowed the leadoff man […]

Nolan Arenado Smashes Two More Homers

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado continued to pummel National League pitching on Friday as he hammered a pair of home runs in Arizona. Arenado's two-fer brought him back into a tie for the NL lead in homers as well as a tie for the league lead in RBI. Hitting .316 on the season while co-leading […]

Raimel Tapia Blasts Grand Slam In Win

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia isn't known for his power, but he lived every kid's dream on Friday night as he drilled a pinch-hit, two-out, two-strike grand slam to give the Rockies the lead against the Diamondbacks. Tapia's only gotten three starts since getting promoted to the big leagues three weeks ago, so he likely […]

Wade Davis Misses Friday Due To Illness

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis spent Friday's game at the team hotel with a stomach bug, so setup man Adam Ottavino stepped in to close out the game with Arizona. It's the best possible news from a fantasy perspective since such an illness would be expected to pass quickly, but it does mean Davis will […]

DJ LeMahieu Headed To DL

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu is headed to the disabled list after suffering a strained oblique in Friday night's game against Arizona. LeMahieu was scratched from a game last week with lower back stiffness, but this injury appears unrelated. Instead, he suffered it early in Friday's game and manager Bud Black said he was […]

Ian Desmond Triples For Second Straight Game

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond has cranked it up over the last few weeks, and he drilled his fourth triple of the season in the final game before the All-Star break. Though he's still only batting .235 for the season, Desmond was on fire before the break. He'll start the second session by trying […]

Scott Oberg Vultures Another Win

The Colorado Rockies have been desperate for someone in the bullpen to pitch well, and it looks like relief pitcher Scott Oberg may be stepping up. Oberg threw another scoreless 1 1/3 innings on Sunday, bringing his ERA to 1.08 since returning from the disabled list on July 1. With a walk-off homer by Trevor […]

Tyler Anderson Keeps Rolling

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson threw another strong six innings against Seattle on Sunday, allowing just two earned runs and striking out six.
