Asdrubal Cabrera Keeps Driving Mets Offense

The New York Mets offense as a whole isn’t doing much, but don’t tell that to infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. Cabrera caught fire to start 2018 and while he slowed down a bit, the man is still producing nonetheless. In a close 2-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday, Cabrera finished 2-for-4 with a double […]

Amed Rosario Continues To Improve

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario finally had his coming-out party on Sunday when he hit his first two home runs of the season. While Monday’s effort against the Miami Marlins wasn’t quite as good, Rosario still had himself a productive day. In a tight 2-0 victory, Rosario finished 1-for-3 with a run scored. For […]

Mets Showing Interest In Jose Bautista

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the New York Mets are “showing interest” in free-agent outfielder/third baseman Jose Bautista. The 37-year-old Bautista was of course just released by the Atlanta Braves on Saturday after posting a completely unproductive .143/.250/.343 slash line. He did have two home runs across 40 plate appearances, but […]

Todd Frazier Is Hitting On Monday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (hamstring) is stepping up his rehab and is hitting for the first time in five to six days on Monday. Frazier has been on the disabled list for about two weeks due to a left hamstring strain. As of Saturday, he said he’s still feeling it when he […]

Mets Prospect David Peterson Continues To Dominate

The New York Mets may not have much in the farm system right now, but starting pitching prospect David Peterson is doing his best to change that. Peterson has dominated this season, and that continued on Sunday for Low-A Columbia when he pitched seven innings, allowing one earned run on five hits with no walks […]

Mets Sign Cody Martin To Minor League Deal

The New York Mets have signed free-agent relief pitcher Cody Martin to a minor league deal, the team announced on Monday. Martin last appeared in the Major Leagues in 2017 for the Seattle Mariners, only pitching two innings and allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits while walking two without a strikeout. His career […]

Luis Guillorme Starting At Third Base On Monday

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme is in the lineup and starting at third base against the Miami Marlins. It will mark the third start of Guillorme’s Major League career. Normally a second baseman, Guillorme is endearing himself to the Mets by demonstrating the flexibility to play multiple positions. Regarded as one if, if not […]

Toronto Options Richard Urena To Triple-A

The Toronto Blue Jays have optioned infielder Richard Urena back to Triple-A Buffalo, the team announced on Sunday. Urena has already had two short stints in the Major Leagues this season, and will likely have more before the season is over. Across 19 plate appearances for Toronto, Urena is slashing .278/.278/.444 with one home run, […]

Dominic Smith Seeing Time In The Outfield

New York Mets first baseman prospect Dominic Smith is in the news again, and this time it’s actually good news – over the weekend he made his outfield debut with Triple-A Las Vegas. Originally penciled in to be the New York Mets first baseman in 2018, Smith seemingly fell out of favor with management who […]

Roberto Osuna’s Leave Extended Again

Major League Baseball has extended the administrative leave of Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna by another week, taking it through May 28. This is more for procedural purposes than anything else, and shouldn’t be paid much attention to. Osuna’s court date for an assault charge isn’t until June 18; if past MLB suspensions in […]

Steer Clear Of Jason Vargas On Monday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas will take the hill on Monday against the Miami Marlins after getting skipped the last turn through the rotation. Unlike the New York Mets, for fantasy purposes you should be skipping him indefinitely. Vargas’ struggles since returning from the disabled list on April 28 have practically been comical. […]

Kendrys Morales Pitches Ninth Inning

We’ve all been wondering who would be the ninth inning man of choice for the Toronto Blue Jays with closer Roberto Osuna placed on leave. On Sunday, that man was unexpectedly designated hitter Kendrys Morales…except Toronto was down 9-2. If the Blue Jays truly don’t know who their new closer is yet, they may want […]

Three Straight Multi-Hit Games For Yangervis Solarte

The thought on Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte has been that regression will come for him at some point soon, but the man simply won’t answer the door for it. Solarte had another big day on Sunday in a 9-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics, finishing 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. […]

Fourth Straight Hitless Game For Josh Donaldson

Another day, another hitless effort for Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson. The former American League MVP is really struggling at the dish right now; he hasn’t picked up a hit over his last four games and is mired in an 0-for-13 slump. Things weren’t much better before that, either, as Donaldson simply hasn’t […]

Joe Biagini Predictably Unsuccessful Against Athletics

Earlier on Sunday, we recommended that you stay far away from Joe Biagini for fantasy purposes against the Oakland Athletics. We hope you listened. Biagini’s miserable 2018 predictably continued against the solid Athletics’ offense; allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks across four innings pitched with two strikeouts. Yeah, pretty much […]

Robert Gsellman Picks Up Save On Sunday

The final box score for the New York Mets 4-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday may officially credit a save to reliever Robert Gsellman, but don’t let that fool you – he likely won’t be getting further save chances any time soon. With normal closer Jeurys Familia getting a day of rest after […]

Pinch-Hit Homer For Asdrubal Cabrera

For those in weekly lineup leagues who had New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera locked in, on Sunday you hit gold. Cabrera had the day off against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t be pressed into action anyway. Pinch-hitting for starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard in the seventh inning, Cabrera stepped up […]

Noah Syndergaard Lays Hammer On The Snakes

The odds were in favor of New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard having a big day against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, and he certainly did not disappoint. Thor threw seven innings, earning the win by allowing only one earned run on six hits and a walk while striking out seven. Sunday marks the […]

First Multi-Homer Game For Amed Rosario

For those waiting for New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario to make an impact, Sunday may be a day to remember. In a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Rosario finished 2-for-3 with two home runs. The two longballs were his first two dingers of the season, and it marked the first multi-homer outing of […]

Joe Biagini Should Be Avoided Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Joe Biagini was originally slated to take the hill on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics, but he was pushed back to Sunday with Sam Gaviglio getting the nod in the former game. What does this mean for fantasy purposes? Nothing. Biagini wasn’t much of a fantasy option on Saturday, and […]

Noah Syndergaard Should Continue To See Strikeout Uptick

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard has been very good, but a bit underwhelming in 2018 thus far. In his last start on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, Thor only pitched five innings, but did pick up his strikeout game by punching out seven. On Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he’ll look to […]

Teoscar Hernandez Goes 0-For-5 In Return

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was red hot prior to missing two games due to back soreness. The fantasy community was hoping he would pick up right where he left off when Hernandez returned against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday, but that was not to be. Hernandez finished an ugly 0-for-5 in his return, […]

Tyler Clippard Blows Save Against Athletics

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Tyler Clippard seems to be the team's candidate of choice for the closer role with Roberto Osuna out indefinitely, but that may be up in the air after Saturday. Granted, Clippard's blown save came after attempting to clean up a mess that reliever John Axford got the Blue Jays into, but […]

Sam Gaviglio Dominates In Starting Debut

After having some degree of success in a few innings as a reliever for the Toronto Blue Jays this season, pitcher Sam Gaviglio made his debut in the starting rotation on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. Safe to say, it was a rousing success. Gaviglio only pitched 5 1/3 innings, but didn’t allow any runs. […]

Michael Conforto Goes Deep Again

The 2018 struggles of New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto have been well-documented; perhaps soon though, his resurgence will be just as publicized. On Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Conforto finished 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and a walk. The longball may have only been his fourth of the season, but was his […]

Steven Matz Struggles Against Diamondbacks

After being the benefactor of some good luck over his last two starts (two earned runs allowed across 11 innings pitched), the thought seemed to be that New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz would be a victim of regression at some point soon. That point came on Saturday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Matz […]

Devin Mesoraco Hits Third Homer In Seven Games As A Met

Recently, the thought on current New York Mets (and former Cincinnati Reds) catcher Devin Mesoraco was that if he could get consistent playing time we might see him develop a rhythm again. He wasn’t getting that playing time in Cincinnati, but he is in New York, and that thought is proving true thus far. On […]

Sam Gaviglio To Start For Toronto On Saturday

With starting pitchers Jaime Garcia and Marcus Stroman both on the disabled list with shoulder issues, the Toronto Blue Jays need some replacements for their starting rotation. On Saturday against the Oakland Athletics, that replacement will be Sam Gaviglio. Although Gaviglio has had some success this season, we wouldn’t recommend him for fantasy purposes. Across […]

Steven Matz Looks to Build Upon Positive Outings

For a player who has been incredibly inconsistent throughout his career, New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz has been surprisingly steady over his last two starts. At least, from an ERA perspective. In 11 total innings pitched against the Philadelphia Phillies and Colorado Rockies in his last two starts, Matz allowed only two earned […]

Teoscar Hernandez Back In The Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is back in the lineup on Saturday against Sean Manaea and the Oakland Athletics. Hernandez missed the previous two games due to back soreness, but apparently feels good enough to go. Hernandez was on a five-game hitting streak prior to his absence, and also hit in six of his […]
