The 31-year-old is slashing .260/.324/.475 with 14 HRs, 41 RBI, 44 runs scored through 265 at-bats this season. He has been relatively productive when he has managed to stay healthy, but the Dodgers' loaded […]

Orlando Arcia Returns to Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia is back from paternity leave and batting eighth on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. Arcia has been one of baseball's worst hitters in 2019 despite 14 home runs and eight steals, batting just .218/.283/.345. With a line like that, a terrible lineup spot, and the game played at one of […]

Rougned Odor Continues Hot September

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a win over the Rays on Wednesday. It was Odor's third home run in his past four games, as the streaky infielder seems to be getting hot again at the right time for fantasy owners. Odor is batting .333 with a 1.239 […]

Corey Dickerson Leaves Game, X-Rays Negative

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson (foot) left the game Wednesday night against the Braves with an apparent injury.

Zach Eflin Doesn't Last Through Fourth Inning

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin allowed three runs, none earned, in 3 2/3 innings pitched against the Braves on Wednesday. Despite the zero ERA, Eflin wasn't effective in this game allowing three hits and three walks while needing 95 pitches to last as long as he did. The big blow in the contest was […]

Sonny Gray Pitches Well in Loss to Seattle

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray pitched well in a 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Gray allowed three runs in 6 1/3 innings while striking out nine.

Austin Hays Collects Three Hits Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays continued to make a good first impression in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers, going 3-for-4 with two singles and a double. The 24-year-old is one of the O's top prospects and is now hitting .300 in 11 plate appearances. The sample size is obviously small, but the end of […]

John Means Takes Tough No-Decision Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means turned in a nice start in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers. Means pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits (including a two-run home run) and a walk with six strikeouts. The 26-year-old has been one of the few bright spots for the O's this season, […]

Dakota Hudson Works a Wild but Effective Quality Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson was wild but effective on Wednesday, picking up a quality start. He tossed six innings, allowing two runs on four hits.

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor blasted his 31st home run of the season on Wednesday, going 1-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI. Lindor got off to an awful start to this season but has rounded things out to an impressive .296/.346/.545 slash line besides the 31 homers. He's one of the best shortstops […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Sitting Out Wednesday Night

Washington Nationals second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera is out of the lineup on Wednesday night against the Twins.

Hunter Dozier Will Rest on Wednesday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This appears to be a rare off day for Dozier, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Cheslor Cuthbert will bat seventh and play third base versus righty Reynaldo Lopez. […]

Starling Marte Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

Ramon Laureano Returns to the Lineup on Wednesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (shin) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros.

Eric Sogard is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Eric Sogard (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Sogard hasn't been in the lineup since he took a foul ball to the leg on Friday. It sounds like a minor issue, so hopefully he can get back in the lineup within the […]

Texas Rangers infielder Logan Forsythe (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Nick Solak will draw the start at third base […]

Stephen Strasburg In a Tough Spot Wednesday

Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg will be tested on Wednesday in a road start against the Minnesota Twins. The Twins remain one of the most powerful lineups in all of baseball, and Strasburg will have to face a designated hitter instead of the opposing pitcher in the lineup. Still, he remains a must-start due to […]

Yuli Gurriel Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Aledmys Diaz will draw the start at first base and bat sixth versus lefty Brett Anderson. Diaz […]

Robbie Ray Has Favorable Matchup

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray has a very good chance to post a quality start on Wednesday in a start against the New York Mets.

Nick Senzel Remains Sidelined Against Mariners

The righty is […]

Justin Upton is Absent on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. Taylor Ward will draw the start in left field and bat sixth versus righty Adam Plutko. Ward has two hits in the last […]

Eduardo Escobar Leaves the Yard Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday in a loss to the New York Mets. Escobar's homer was his 34th of the season to go along with an eye-popping 112 RBI. This is clearly the veteran's best season of his career, and as long as […]
