New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (finger) was placed on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to May 26. Syndergaard is dealing with a strained ligament in his right index finger.

Troy Tulowitzki Begins Running Program

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowtizki has been out all season long due to surgery on both heels to remove bone spurs, but he is slowly making his way back. On Monday, Tulo started a running program both on the anti-gravity machine and on the ground. It doesn’t sound like he’s all that close to... Read More

Josh Donaldson Doesn’t Believe Calf Injury Is Serious

In a sigh of relief for fantasy owners and Toronto Blue Jays fans alike, the calf tightness third baseman Josh Donaldson suffered on Monday is not believed to be serious, according to him. He seemed to suffer the injury running the bases after a Justin Smoak double. It’s unclear at this point if Donaldson is... Read More

Teoscar Hernandez May Be Waking Up

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was filling up the stat sheet when he was called up in early April, only to struggle mightily thereafter while enduring severe contact-rate issues. Lately, though, he’s shown some improvement despite not setting the world on fire again. In an 8-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday,... Read More

Four-Game Hit Streak For Devon Travis

Given how bad he previously was at both the major and minor league levels in 2018, nothing was expected out of Toronto Blue Jays infielder Devon Travis upon being recalled on May 22. He may have started off slow, but Travis is actually picking things up now. In an 8-3 loss to the Boston Red... Read More

Aaron Sanchez Destroyed By Red Sox On Memorial Day

On May 23 against the Los Angeles Angels, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez was fantastic, as he did not allow any runs across five innings pitched. The only thing his outing on Monday against the Boston Red Sox had in common with his last start was the five innings pitched. This time around,... Read More

Three Hits For Kevin Plawecki In Return

New York Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki finally made his return from a hand injury on Monday against the Atlanta Braves, and what a return it was. In his first game since April 11, Plawecki finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk. It's exactly what you wanted to see from Plawecki, but... Read More

Brandon Nimmo Quietly Producing Nicely

The New York Mets were happy to give outfielder Brandon Nimmo a chance to play every day with injuries in their outfield, and he is certainly rewarding them immensely for it. In the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on Monday, Nimmo finished 1-for-5 with a home run in the 8-5 victory. It... Read More

P.J. Conlon Struggles In Spot Start In Atlanta

With a doubleheader on deck on Monday, the New York Mets turned to minor league starting pitcher P.J. Conlon for a spot start against the Atlanta Braves. Conlon made one start for the Mets previously this season, which was OK at best, but this one was far from good. Across only two innings pitched, Conlon... Read More

Seth Lugo Blows It For Mets In Atlanta

New York Mets reliever Seth Lugo has been great out of the bullpen in 2018, but on Monday against the Atlanta Braves he simply did not have it. Lugo was entrusted to throw the final two innings for the Amazins and blew a lead in each of those innings. After allowing a run to tie... Read More

Devin Mesoraco Continues To Hit In The Clutch

It seems like everyone is waiting for New York Mets catcher Devin Mesoraco to stop hitting, but thus far he is refusing to comply. In a 4-3 loss in the first game of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on Monday, Mesoraco finished 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a... Read More

Jacob deGrom Masterful, But Once Again Doesn’t Win

Read More

Kevin Plawecki Continues Successful Rehab Assignment

Deck McGuire Optioned To Triple-A

The Toronto Blue Jays have optioned reliever Deck McGuire to Triple-A Buffalo. A corresponding move was not yet announced. This move is for the best as McGuire has been terrible in the Major Leagues this season, and that’s putting it nicely. Across 8 1/3 innings pitched, he owns an atrocious 6.48 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and... Read More

Devin Mesoraco Continues To Produce For Mets

New York Mets catcher Devin Mesoraco was essentially (and reasonably) left for dead at the start of 2018, placing second on the Cincinnati Reds depth chart at backstop. Since getting traded to the Amazins, however, Mesoraco has been a new man. He continues to give the Mets more production at catcher than they’ve had in... Read More

Huge Night For Brandon Nimmo Against Brewers

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo has been quietly productive since essentially moving into an everyday role, but he had a loud night at the plate against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. Nimmo finished 4-for-4 with a triple, two doubles, two runs scored, and a walk. The big effort brings his slash line for the... Read More

Steven Matz Comes Through For Mets In Milwaukee

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz wasn’t an advisable fantasy play on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers, but he came through for both his team and fantasy owners in a 5-0 victory.

Roberto Osuna May Receive “Significant Ban”

Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberoto Osuna may be facing a “significant ban” as the assault allegations against him are of a “physical nature”, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. Osuna’s administrative leave was extended this week through May 28, and you can bet it’s only going to be extended further with the initial hearing... Read More

Yangervis Solarte’s Hit Streak Up To Six Games

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Dwight Smith may have been the only source of run production for the team on Thursday, but that doesn’t mean infielder Yangervis Solarte wasn’t without some sort of contribution. In a rough 8-1 loss, Solarte finished 1-for-4 with a double, his 10th two-bagger on the season. He’s now on a six-game... Read More

Kevin Pillar Hitless Again In Loss To Angels

We all knew regression for Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar was coming, and over the last week it’s safe to say the day of reckoning has arrived. In an 8-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, Pillar finished 0-for-2 with a walk. The effort marks the sixth straight game Pillar has gone... Read More

Dwight Smith The Lone Bright Spot For Toronto

The Toronto Blue Jays were blown out by the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday 8-1, and that one run came off the bat of outfielder Dwight Smith.

Marco Estrada Gets Lit Up By Angels

Earlier on Thursday, we warned you that Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada was not a good fantasy play against the Los Angeles Angels. We hope you listened.

Steven Matz Hoping For Better Results In Milwaukee

After two consecutive successful outings, which is a rarity for him, New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz ran into an obstacle on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In a no-decision, Matz allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two across four innings pitched. The rough outing raised his... Read More

Don’t Expect Marco Estrada To Duplicate Success Against Angels

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada had a good outing last week against the Oakland Athletics, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and zero walks with six strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings pitched. While he’d certainly like to replicate that against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, that will be a tough task.... Read More

Justin Smoak Getting A Day Of Rest Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak is not in the lineup on Thursday against starting picker Nick Tropeano and the Los Angeles Angels. Kendrys Morales will get the start at first base in his place. It sounds like a normal day of rest for Smoak, who has had a very underwhelming 2018, and could... Read More

Randal Grichuk Rebounds In Second Rehab Game

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk didn’t have a great first rehab game on Tuesday, finishing 0-for-2 with two strikeouts. On Wednesday, he rebounded nicely in his second effort by crushing a two-run bomb and playing six innings in right field. That’s more of what we’ll need to see from Grichuk before starting to think... Read More

Kevin Plawecki Homers In Rehab Debut

New York Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki made his rehab assignment debut on Wednesday for Triple-A Las Vegas, and suffice to say, it was a good one. Plawecki played five innings at the backstop position, and hit a home run. You can’t ask for much more than that. Plawecki will need a few more days before... Read More

Devon Travis Goes Deep In Loss

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis has been all kinds of terrible across multiple levels in 2018, but at least for one night, he showed a glimpse of the talent he’s demonstrated previously. In a 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, Travis finished 1-for-3 with a home run. It was his second home... Read More
