Miguel Sano Doubles Tuesday

Minnesota Twins infielder Miguel Sano had an RBI double in Tuesday's 1-0 win against the Baltimore Orioles. Sano is now just 2-for-11 with three RBI across four spring games.

Josh Naylor (OF, CLE) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 370 CURRENT ADP: ~391 overall ANALYSIS:  The Indians were pretty high on Josh Naylor in 2020 as he was a key piece in the Mike Clevinger deal. Naylor will likely rotate between the outfield and first base, which means he will provide added flexibility on fantasy rosters. In 2020, he slashed .247/.291/.330 […]

Extension talks are expected to heat up this week between New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor and the team, according to Jon Heyman.

Griffin Canning To Make Spring Debut Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning will make his spring debut Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Canning performed respectably in 2020 by posting a 3.99 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts across 56 1/3 innings pitched. He will be part of an Angels six-man rotation in 2021, so his innings will likely be limited, […]

Colin Moran Batting Cleanup Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Colin Moran is batting cleanup Thursday against the Atlanta Braves.
