Jeremy Jeffress Blows Save

Chicago Cubs closer Jeremy Jeffress entered Tuesday’s game with a 0.98 ERA, but he blew the save against the Indians. Jeffress allowed two walks and one hit, which was a two-run shot by Francisco Lindor to tie the game.

Javier Baez Swipes Two Bases

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a pair of stolen bases on Tuesday versus the Indians. Baez has been a big disappointment this season but has started to string together some good games. In his last three games, Baez has four hits with five runs scored. […]

Yu Darvish Gives Up Nine Hits

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher and Cy Young candidate Yu Darvish allowed nine hits, three runs, one walk and struck out seven. It wasn’t his best start of the season, but he pitched well enough for a chance to get the victory prior to Jeremy Jeffress blowing the save in the ninth. Darvish now owns a […]

Jack Flaherty Struggles Big Time On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty struggled quite a bit on Tuesday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six in three innings of work. Making 2/3rds of his outs via strikeout was nice, but the 27.00 ERA won't do. This was by far Flaherty's worst start of the […]

Sandy Alcantara Pitches Well But Loses On Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara pitched well on Tuesday but ended up taking the loss. He pitched six innings, allowing just one run on five hits and two walks. He struck out five and lowered his ERA to 3.45. Unfortunately, the Marlins were unable to score any runs, leading to a loss for Alcantara […]

Dane Dunning Continues To Impress

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dane Dunning put together another strong performance in a tough matchup versus the Twins on Tuesday.

Hanser Alberto Held Hitless Tuesday, Continues Cold Streak

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto continued his cold September in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Braves, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Alberto started the season off well but has struggled in September, hitting just .189 with no extra-base hits. Fantasy managers should bench Alberto if they can afford it as he is not producing […]

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Thomas Eshelman fell to 3-1 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Braves. Eshelman. pitched 3 1/3. inning, allowing two runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with four strikeouts.

Deivi Garcia Picks Up Second Career Win

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia picked up his second win in four starts on Tuesday with a seven-inning, three-run performance against the Blue Jays. Garcia’s performance was less impressive under the hood as he allowed 11 hard-hit balls (21 balls in play) and likely benefited from some strong defense, but he still posted […]

Yandy Diaz Slowly Progressing Through Hamstring Strain

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (hamstring) is "slowly but surely" recovering from his hamstring strain, according to manager Kevin Cash. Diaz has not appeared in a game since August 31 and has not resumed any baserunning or fielding drills. At this point, it seems unlikely that the Cuban slugger returns before the end […]

Keone Kela Unlikely To Return In 2020

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Keone Kela (forearm) is unlikely to return this season, according to general manager Ben Cherington. Kela resumed throwing last week, but he has not appeared in a game since August 21 and is running out of time. The 27-year-old was expected to serve as the Pirates' closer before the injury woes. In […]

Philadelphia Phillies starter Jake Arrieta left Tuesday's game against the New York Mets in the sixth inning with an apparent leg injury.

Nate Pearson Set To Throw Batting Practice Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Nate Pearson (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Wednesday. The top prospect has been sidelined since August 19 with a flexor strain in his elbow.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jose Quintana (lat) is scheduled to throw a simulated game later this week, according to manager David Ross.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (knee) is considered day-to-day, according to trainer Nick Paparesta. The 29-year-old was absent from Tuesday's starting lineup after crashing into the outfield wall on Monday. Thankfully, it seems Piscotty managed to avoid any significant injury, and he will likely be back in the coming days. If he does miss any […]

Marwin Gonzalez Available Off Bench On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Marwin Gonzalez (illness) is available to pinch hit during Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 31-year-old missed Monday's game due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. Even with a clean bill of health, it has been a season to forget for Gonzalez.
