J.D. Martinez Gets Rest Day

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Miami Marlins. This sounds like a routine day off for the 33-year-old slugger.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Brendan Rodgers went a combined 0-for-6 in Saturday's doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

J.P. Crawford Hits Second Homer Of Season

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 1-for-3 with his second home run of the season Saturday night against the Texas Rangers. Crawford isn't a flashy fantasy option, as he only has one steal to go along with his two homers, but he makes contact and doesn't tank any single category. He's a decent middle-infield fill-in […]

Mitch Haniger Hits 14th Homer

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger hit his 14th home run of the season Saturday, going 2-for-4 for the game. Haniger has been consistently excellent all year long, and is easily returning top-100 fantasy value with his 14 homers, 35 runs, 34 RBI, and .852 OPS. That's an outstanding return on investment considering his draft-season ADP […]

Justin Dunn Strikes Out Eight Saturday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn had another excellent start Saturday night, allowing only one run on two hits and two walks while striking out eight batters in 5 2/3 innings against the Texas Rangers.

New York Mets catcher Tomas Nido went 1-for-5 Saturday night, driving in two runs and scoring one himself. Nido has been excellent at the plate over his last 15 games, slashing .298/.340/.532 with a home run and seven RBI.

James McCann Comes Up Triple Short Of Cycle

New York Mets catcher James McCann had his best game of the year Saturday night, going 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, two singles, two RBI, and three runs scored.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had one of his best games of the season Saturday night against Atlanta, going 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a bunt single, and three runs scored.
