Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is beginning to hit the ball with more authority, posting four extra-base hits over his last five games.

David Fletcher's Fantasy Arrow Pointing Up

Los Angeles Angels third baseman David Fletcher picked up a pinch-hit single in the team's 7-3 win over the Royals on Sunday.

Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with two runs scored against the Royals on Sunday. Trout has not been himself at the plate since returning from a groin injury but is 5-for-16 (.312) over his last four games heading into this week. A lot is expected of Trout from a fantasy perspective but, thus […]

Justin Bour Ready To Put April Behind Him

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Justin Bour hit his third home run of the season in the Angels 7-3 win over the Royals on Sunday.

He […]

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has only one hit over his last four games spanning 13 at-bats heading into the week. This is merely a small bump in the road of a long season and has only one extra-base hit over his last seven games. Fantasy owners just need to ride out the mini-slump […]

Jose Altuve Mired In Slump

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has only three hits over his last 24 at-bats (.125) as the team begins a series with the Twins Monday night.

Robinson Chirinos Off To Great Start

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos smacked a three-run home run to pace the Astros to a 4-1 win on Sunday against the Indians.

Yuli Gurriel Scuffling At The Plate

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Astros 4-1 win over the Indians on Sunday. Gurriel is in the midst of an awful 3-for-28 slump at the plate right now and is slugging only .390 through his first 100 at-bats this season. The hope is his ninth double of […]

Brad Peacock Gets Back On Track Against Indians

Houston Astros starter Brad Peacock allowed only one run on four hits while striking out seven against the Indians on Saturday.

Carlos Correa Slugging .679 Over Last Seven Games

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa smacked his sixth home run of the season as the Astros beat the Indians 4-3 in 10 innings on Saturday.

Mike Trout In 3-For-16 Skid

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout has only three hits over his last 16 at-bats heading into Thursday's action.

Gerrit Cole Looking To Bounce Back Against Indians

Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will try and get back on track against Trevor Bauer and the Indians Thursday night at Minute Maid Park. Cole was torched for nine hits and eight earned runs on April 20 against the Rangers, by far his worst start since joining the Astros last season. Before that start, Cole […]

Michael Brantley Continues To Rake

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley continues to produce in the middle of the order, driving in two more runs while going 2-for-3 Wednesday against the Twins.

Josh Reddick Is On Fire

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick continued his hot streak on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with his third home run of the season in the Astros 7-1 win over the Twins. There are few in the game hotter than Reddick right now, who has 10 hits in his last 15 at-bats. In fact, the veteran in the […]

Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy went 1-for-6 Monday against the Yankees, his lone hit being his first home run of the season.

Kole Calhoun Continues To Struggle

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the Angels 4-3 loss to the Yankees on Monday.

He has responded with a 3-for-22 (.136) stretch […]

Matt Harvey Posts Quality Start

Los Angeles Angels starter Matt Harvey allowed two runs on three hits through six innings in the Angels 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Jose Altuve In Minor Funk At The Plate

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve went 1-for-5 in the team's 9-5 loss to the Twins on Monday. After homering in five straight games, Altuve has dipped into a minor funk at the dish. Over his last seven games, Altuve is only 5-for-26 (.192) with only one extra-base hit and six strikeouts. This dip in […]

Brad Peacock Lacking Impact As Starter

Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock allowed three runs on six hits through five innings of work Monday night in a 9-5 loss to the Twins.

Zack Cozart In Lineup Monday At Third Base

Los Angeles Angels infielder Zack Cozart will start at third base and hit eighth Monday night as the team opens up a series at home against the Yankees. Cozart is 59 at-bats into his season but is still looking for his first extra-base hit and will enter action hitting .102. It has been a disastrous […]

Brian Goodwin Continues To Rise Up Fantasy Ranks
