Yandy Diaz Takes More Swings Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (hand) took swings in the batting cage for the second straight day on Wednesday and said his hand feels better, but he still has some pain when swinging a bat.

Sauceda's Slants: Buy Low Report - 8 Hitters to Target

There’s something positively blissful about scanning your rosters and seeing double-digit — or *gasp* single-digit! — ranks up-and-down the roster. But let’s be clear: these stats are in the past. They’re already banked. They shouldn’t overpower our valuation of them going forward because, really, that’s all that matters — what are they likely to produce […]

Renato Nunez Adds Two Doubles, RBI To Hot Streak Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman/designated hitter Renato Nunez continued to hit the baseball with authority in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick took advantage of his second consecutive start on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with a double, sacrifice fly, hit-by-pitch, one run scored, and four driven in to help Washington defeat the Atlanta Braves 14-4.

It's […]

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts notched his ninth home run of the season Wednesday, in a 14-9 loss to Cleveland. The solo shot was Betts' only run batted in, and just his second RBI since May 24. As Boston's superstar, the 26-year-old continues to get on base at a .400 pace, and has […]

Cleveland Indians rookie outfielder Oscar Mercado hit three singles on Wednesday, going 3-for-6 with two runs scored. The rookie is having an impressive start to his career, hitting .333/.404/.476 in the early going. He won't provide much in terms of power, but he can get on base and he'll steal bases. He should be owned […]

Francisco Lindor Gets Three Hits on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor smacked three hits on Wednesday, going 3-for-6 with two runs scored and an RBI. All three of Lindor's hits were singles, as he raised his slash line to .289/.358/.472. After a slow and late start to the season, Lindor has turned it on and will soon again be one of […]
