Max Muncy's Offense May Be Turning A Corner

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy will try and continue to turn his season around as the team will take on the Angels in Anaheim on Friday.

Justin Turner Posting .423 OBP In Last Seven Games

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is locked in at the plate heading into the series against the Angels beginning Friday. A true professional at the plate, the veteran is slashing .318/.423/.455 over his last seven games with five walks and seven hits during that span. The 36-year-old may be getting long in the […]

Mike Trout Slugging .711 At Home

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Angel Stadium beginning Friday. Trout is off to a scorching start but has cooled off by posting a .261 average over his last seven games. This should not deter DFS managers or fantasy teams at all as Trout is off to one […]

Carlos Correa Looking For First Hit Of May

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa and Co. will host the Blue Jays beginning Friday. Correa finished off the month of April with a bang, going 4-for-5 with two doubles on April 30. The month of May has not been kind, however, as Correa is 0-for-19 over his last five games. The impending free agent is […]

Alex Bregman Struggling At Home

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will line up against the Blue Jays at Minute Maid Park on Friday. Over his last 15 games, Bregman is slashing .316/.371/.491 with 10 runs batted in and 12 runs scored. But the talented infielder has strangely struggled at home this season, slashing .227/.292/.318. He has only two extra-base […]

Kyle Tucker Hitting .166 In Last Nine Games

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker continues to struggle offensively heading into Friday's matchup against the Blue Jays. Tucker is 4-for-24 (.166) over his last nine games and is slugging an anemic .244 over his last 15 played. Tucker was able to deliver last season on the promise of being a heralded 'top prospect' but has […]

Jose Urquidy Hopes To Stay Hot

Houston Astros starter Jose Urquidy will take the mound Friday night as the team takes on the Blue Jays.

Luis Guillorme Expected To Return Sunday

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme (oblique) is expected to return from the injured list as soon as he's eligible on Sunday. His return will likely push infielder Jose Peraza back to Triple-A.

Miguel Andujar Recalled From Triple-A

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before Friday's game against the Nationals.

[…]

Jacob deGrom To Throw Bullpen Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (lat) played catch up to 90 feet on Thursday and will attempt to throw a bullpen session on Friday.

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (knee) is not expected to be placed on the injured list Friday, per Jack Curry of the Yes Network.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Has Decreased His Whiffs

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is hitting .327/.424/.702 this year and is leading or tied for the major league lead in runs and home runs.

Ian Happ Sent To Injured List

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (ribs) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 4, with bruised ribs.

White Sox Activate Garrett Crochet

The Chicago White Sox have activated left-handed relief pitcher Garrett Crochet (back) from the 10-day injured list. Crochet spent the minimum amount of time of the shelf with an upper back strain.

Jarred Kelenic Homers Twice In First Triple-A Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic made a strong impression in his first game at the Triple-A level. The uber-prospect went 2-for-6 with two solo home runs and three runs scored.

Ian Happ Remains Sidelined On Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (ribs) remains sidelined for Friday's contest versus the Pittsburgh Pirates with sore ribs.

Pablo Lopez Shines Against Diamondbacks

Miami Marlins starter Pablo Lopez looked brilliant against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday in Miami.

Lopez is now the owner of a 2.04 ERA and 1.08 WHIP to go along with 40 […]

Madison Bumgarner Looks Great Again

Arizona Diamondback starter Madison Bumgarner continued his unforeseen resurgence Thursday against the Marlins in Miami.

Bumgarner gave up a leadoff homer to the first batter of the game but he then allowed only one more baserunner […]

Nathan Eovaldi Struggles Against The Detroit Tigers

Boston Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi turned in a disappointing start on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. Entering this start, Eovaldi had a 2.12 FIP and 3.68 ERA, so this clunker was absolutely not expected. He allowed six earned runs across 4 1/3 innings to the woeful Tigers offense, which entering Thursday's game was sporting […]

Yimi Garcia Earns Fifth Save For Marlins

Miami Marlins closer Yimi Garcia picked up his fifth save on Wednesday at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

He quickly shut the door afterward, as Asdrubal Cabrera lined out to right field to end […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Solid Against Yankees

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. turned in another solid start against the New York Yankees in the Bronx on Thursday. Striking out eight batters across six innings, McCullers Jr. again showed his elite swing-and-miss stuff. He also showed why he can be so frustrating to roster in fantasy leagues, as both Clint Frazier and […]

Marcus Semien Has Huge Day Versus Old Team

Toronto Blue Jays middle infielder Marcus Semien tormented his former team on Thursday, going 4-for-6 at the plate in the team's 10-4 win. He returned to the leadoff spot in this contest as he clubbed his seventh homer and scored three runs in the series finale from Oakland. After starting the season as the team's […]

Bo Bichette Swipes A Pair On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette was a menace on the basepaths on Thursday, stealing a pair of bags in the 10-4 win over the Athletics. He finished the game going 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored as he upped his theft total to seven and his batting average to .270 on the […]

Randal Grichuk Drives In Five Versus Athletics

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk kept his torrid start to the season going on Thursday, driving in five runs in the club's 10-4 win over the Athletics. He took starter Mike Fiers deep in the third inning for a three-run shot before cashing in a pair on a double in the sixth as he […]

Colton Welker Suspended 80 Games

Colorado Rockies third base prospect Colton Welker received an 80-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Thursday for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. The suspension is effectively immediately. Welker is listed as the Rockies' No. 11 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. It's a significant setback in terms of his development after the minor league seasons […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Earns Win In Shaky Start

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu improved to 2-2 on the season in the team's 10-4 win over the Athletics on Thursday. It wasn't the most impressive outing for the veteran as he surrendered four runs on six hits and a walk through five frames, but the Jays bats came alive to help him […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Gets On Base Three Times

Texas Rangers shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa had a solid game during the club's 4-3 extra-inning victory against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. He went 2-for-3 with two singles and a walk. Kiner-Falefa recently had a six-game hitting streak broken and was hitless over his last two contests prior to Thursday. The catcher-turned-shortstop isn't flashy, but he […]

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor ended an 0-for-26 slide at the plate with a hard-hit single in the team's 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
