Chandler Simpson Extends Hit Streak To Eight Games With Three-Hit Effort

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Chandler Simpson went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres. The 24-year-old has been superb since his call-up from Triple-A, collecting a hit in each of his first eight games, going 12-for-30 (.400) with three stolen bases and […]


Andres Munoz Secures Save No. 10, Tied For League Lead

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz needed just nine pitches to earn his league-leading 10th save of the season on Sunday, nailing down the 7-6 win over the Marlins. The 26-year-old has been a force in 2025, tossing 14 innings of scoreless ball, allowing just five hits and six walks while striking out 18 (23.5 percent […]


Jordan Romano Earns The Save In Extras On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Jordan Romano came on in the 10th inning of Sunday's matchup with the Cubs, dispatching Chicago on 13 pitches to secure the 3-1 victory and record the save. It was the righty's second save of the season, but he's not expected to log many more, as lefty Jose Alvarado remains the team's […]


Justin Martinez Shaky In Recording Third Save

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Justin Martinez recorded the save on Sunday in a 6-4 victory over the Braves, although it wasn't without some drama. The righty allowed four of the first five batters to reach base (one HBP, two walks, one double) with one run coming in to score, but was able to mix in a ground […]


Pete Fairbanks Notches Sixth Save On Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks secured the 4-2 victory over the Padres on Sunday, pitching a clean ninth to record his sixth save of the season. Other than a tad too many walks, Fairbanks has been good this season, posting a 2.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and a 6:10 BB:K over 11 1/3 innings pitched. […]


Luis Urias' Home Run Wins It For The A's In Extras

Athletics second baseman Luis Urias went 1-for-3 with a walk and a walk-off two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the White Sox. It was the second consecutive game with a home run for the 27-year-old and the fourth straight game with a hit. Urias has taken over as the regular second baseman […]

Fantasy Baseball Players To Watch For The Week Ahead (April 28 - May 4)

Welcome back to my weekly Players to Watch for the Week Ahead series for 2025 as we look ahead to the week of April 28 - May 4. In this article, I'll look at players like Agustin Ramirez, Hunter Brown, Luke Weaver, and others. For those unfamiliar, I like to take a look around the league […]


Tyler Fitzgerald To Miss Second Straight Game

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. The 27-year-old was scratched on Saturday with a chest contusion that he suffered making a diving play on a grounder the night before and will now miss his second straight contest. Fantasy managers should still consider the […]


Jazz Chisholm Jr. No Longer Facing One-Game Suspension

New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. will not serve a one-game suspension related to his ejection for arguing with the umpire during a game on April 17. The 27-year-old proceeded to tweet about the incident from the clubhouse while the game was still going on, which is against MLB policies. A settlement was reached […]


Kevin Gausman Allows Six Earned Runs In Short Outing On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman had a forgettable day on Sunday, yielding six earned runs in just two-and-two-thirds innings. The veteran threw 71 pitches in all, striking out two and walking a whopping five batters during the short outing. After being removed from the game, the 34-year-old was ejected for arguing with the umpire. […]


Wyatt Langford Resting On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford is sitting in Sunday's series finale against the Giants. It is simply a day of rest for the 23-year-old who has played in six consecutive games since coming off the IL after dealing with an oblique injury. The former first-round draft pick had been cruising at the plate, collecting three […]


Ian Anderson Claimed Off Waivers By The Braves

The Braves claimed pitcher Ian Anderson off waivers on Sunday from the Los Angeles Angels. It will be the 26-year-old's second go-round with the Braves after they traded him to Los Angeles earlier this year. Once a promising prospect who was even a key rotation piece during the Braves' 2021 World Series run, the righty […]


Connor Gillispie Optioned To Triple-A On Sunday

The Miami Marlins optioned starting pitcher Connor Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday and recalled reliever Luarbert Arias. Gillispie made the team's opening day roster, but after allowing seven earned runs in two innings in his latest start, they'll send him back to the minors for more development. Over six starts this season, the righty posted […]


Emilio Pagan Notches Seventh Save On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagan picked up his seventh save of the season on Saturday, securing the 6-4 victory over the Rockies. The righty struck out the first two batters he faced before allowing a walk and a double that would result in one run scored, but would get the final batter to strike out […]


Yusei Kikuchi Highly Ineffective In Early Exit On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi imploded in Saturday's game against the Twins after he allowed 13 base runners to reach (nine hits, four walks) in only two innings, resulting in four earned runs, and Minnesota would go on to win 5-1. Just over half of the lefty's 66 pitches were thrown for strikes, and […]


Jonathan Cannon Strikes Out Five In Win

Jonathan Cannon earned the win in Saturday's 10-3 victory over the Athletics, allowing three earned runs in seven-and-two-thirds innings on six hits and two walks while striking out five. It was Cannon's first win of the season, now the owner of a 1-3 record, 4.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and a 7.0 percent K-BB%. The 24-year-old […]


Ben Williamson Drives In Four In Two-Hit Game

Seattle Mariners third baseman Ben Williamson went 2-for-4 with a double, four RBI, and a run scored in Saturday's 14-0 win over the Marlins. The former second-round draft pick has hit safely in nine of the first 11 games of his career, now with a five-game hit streak and a stretch of seven games in […]


Luis Robert Jr. Homers, Swipes A Bag On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, three runs scored, and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Athletics. The home run was his third of the season, and he's now up to eight steals, but it has been another disappointing season so far […]


Garrett Mitchell Headed To IL With Oblique Strain

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique. Mitchell exited Friday's contest early due to oblique tightness, and Saturday's MRI confirmed the strain. The 26-year-old could use the time on the IL to reset, as he was off to a very slow start at the plate, […]


Michael Busch Sitting On Saturday Versus Southpaw

Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch is absent from the lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Phillies as Philadelphia sends lefty Jesus Luzardo to the mound. Busch is off to a good start at the plate, slashing .295/.386/.568 with a .414 wOBA and 167 wRC+ over 101 plate appearances, but will give way to Justin […]


Brandon Woodruff "Really Tired" After Latest Rehab Start

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) made a 61-pitch rehab start at Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, but felt "really tired" afterward, according to manager Pat Murphy. Murphy also indicated that, although Woodruff experienced tiredness, there were no physical setbacks, so a return to the major league mound in May still appears to be on […]


Tyler Fitzgerald Scratched On Saturday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald was scratched from Saturday's game against the Rangers with a chest contusion. The injury happened when attempting to make a diving play on a ground ball during Friday's contest, but he remained in the game, so consider him day-to-day for now. The 27-year-old is off to a good […]


Lawrence Butler Absent From Lineup On Saturday

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is not in Saturday's lineup against the White Sox, who will send Jonathan Cannon to the mound. Cannon is a righty, so it doesn't appear to be matchup or injury-related, simply a day of rest. It could be good for the young slugger who has slumped a bit over the past […]


Ezequiel Tovar Still A Week Or So Away From Return From IL

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (hip) is still at least a week away from returning from the injured list according to manager Bud Black. Aaron Schunk had been filling in as of late for the injured Tovar, but has now been placed on the IL as well. Kyle Farmer will man shortstop in Saturday's game […]


Ivan Herrera Catches Bullpen Session On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera (knee) caught a bullpen session on Saturday as he works his way back from a bone bruise in his left knee. Herrera began running the bases earlier this week and is expected to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday of next week. The 24-year-old had gotten off to a hot start to […]

Hitter Fantasy Baseball Breakouts - Risers to Watch and Waiver Wire Outlooks (Week 5)

Welcome to our Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters article for Week 5 of the 2025 MLB season. The focus of this article is to highlight players who could be on the verge of a breakout, citing current active hitting streaks along with leaders in batting average and isolated power (ISO). You will also find expected batting average […]


Spencer Steer Hits Two-Run Home Run On Friday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Rockies. Steer was back at first base for the fourth straight game after opening the season exclusively as a DH, and has gone 5-for-17 (.294) over that time. Perhaps more importantly, he's […]


Agustin Ramirez Hits First Career Home Run In Multi-Hit Effort

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez kept on hitting on Friday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in the 8-4 win over the Mariners. The home run was his first, and it marked the third consecutive multi-hit performance to begin his big league career. Not only that, the […]


Jacob Wilson Hits Third Home Run In Three-Hit Game On Friday

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson continued his hot start with a 3-for-4 night at the plate in a 6-5 win over the White Sox on Friday, smacking his third home run of the year and collecting two RBI in the contest. The former first-rounder has now hit safely in 23 of the first 25 games, slashing […]


Paul Skenes Strikes Out Nine In Win Over Dodgers

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes dominated the Dodgers on Friday, throwing six-and-a-third innings of scoreless ball, scattering five hits while walking none and striking out nine on his way to earning the win in the 3-0 victory. That makes three consecutive quality starts for the righty and four quality starts out of six, now […]
