Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler cruised through Monday night's start at the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The dominant start was particularly encouraging to see on the heels of Buehler's last outing, which was one of […]

Anthony Rendon On Career-Best Pace

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon has been a steadily reliable high-end fantasy hitter the past three years, but this season he may be taking his game to another level for his owners. Through 45 games, Rendon is slashing .331/.436/.650 with 10 home runs and 35 RBI. His .436 on-base percentage is third in the […]

Robbie Ray Tosses Quality Start on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray was outstanding against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. Ray went seven innings, allowing just three runs on six hits to go along with nine strikeouts. A Corey Seager three-run blast was the lone blemish in an otherwise efficient night for the left-hander, who now sports a 3.62 ERA […]

Andrew McCutchen Leaves Game With Knee Injury

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) was helped off the field after being caught in a rundown in the first inning of Monday night's game against the San Diego Padres.

Trevor Cahill Hit Hard Monday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Trevor Cahill was rocked for five earned runs in only 4 1/3 innings Monday afternoon in Wrigley Field.

Cody Bellinger Sitting Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger is not in the lineup Monday night vs Arizona. It's a rare day off for Bellinger who is slashing .376/.462/.733.

David Fletcher Extends Hit Streak To 13

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher extended his hitting streak to 13 games Monday going 1-for-4 against the Cubs. Fletcher is now batting .322 on the season with an OPS of .836.

Joc Pederson Gets Rare Start Vs Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson is batting eighth vs Diamondbacks lefty Robbie Ray. It's a rare start for Pederson as he has only 21 at-bats vs lefties on the season. Pederson only has a .429 OPS vs lefties compared to 1.127 vs righties which explains why he typically sits vs lefties. Still, if he […]

Jon Lester Gets Back On Track

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester turned in a quality start on Monday versus the Los Angeles Angels. Lester went seven innings and allowed four hits, one run, one walk and struck out six on the afternoon.
