Patrick Corbin Shaky In Saturday Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin gave up two runs on four hits and four walks over 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's no decision against the Mets. Corbin struggled with his control once again, walking four batters for the second time in three starts. Velocity issues continued to plague him, as his fastball velocity was down […]

Jose Bautista Released By Braves

The Atlanta Braves have released third baseman Jose Bautista. The 37-year old Bautista was signed by the Braves earlier this season, but has struggled to just a .593 OPS in 2018. Johan Camargo will be the everyday third baseman going forward. Camargo has been solid in his limited playing time, with eight runs, two homers […]

Michael Conforto Goes Deep Again

The 2018 struggles of New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto have been well-documented; perhaps soon though, his resurgence will be just as publicized. On Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Conforto finished 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and a walk. The longball may have only been his fourth of the season, but was his […]

Steven Matz Struggles Against Diamondbacks

After being the benefactor of some good luck over his last two starts (two earned runs allowed across 11 innings pitched), the thought seemed to be that New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz would be a victim of regression at some point soon. That point came on Saturday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Matz […]

Devin Mesoraco Hits Third Homer In Seven Games As A Met

Recently, the thought on current New York Mets (and former Cincinnati Reds) catcher Devin Mesoraco was that if he could get consistent playing time we might see him develop a rhythm again. He wasn’t getting that playing time in Cincinnati, but he is in New York, and that thought is proving true thus far. On […]

Paul Goldschmidt Hits First May Home Run

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with his fifth home run of the year in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Mets. It was Goldy's first home run since April 15th and first extra base hit since May 8th. Owners must be thrilled to see signs of life from their first round pick, but […]

Addison Russell Resting Sunday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell will rest Sunday versus the Reds. Second baseman Javier Baez will slide over to shortstop and bat seventh. Russell has been one of the more frustrating players to own for fantasy owners as he has been all or nothing all season, but has improved over the past two weeks.

Kris Bryant Sits Sunday, Ian Happ Will Start At Third Base

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant will get a rare day off Sunday versus the Reds. It’s just a maintence day for Bryant who has hit .305 with eight home runs and 24 RBI this season. Ian Happ will get the start at third base for the first time this year and has played five […]

Howie Kendrick Out For Season With Ruptured Achilles Heel

Washington Nationals outfielder Howie Kendrick ruptured his Achilles heel tendon during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers and will undergo surgery to repair it. The veteran hurt himself on a routine catch in the eighth inning and wont play again this season. Top prospect Juan Soto will be called up to take […]

Fernando Romero Allows Three Earned Runs

Minnesota Twins right-hander Fernando Romero turned in the worst start of his young career against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Romero allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks in five innings of work. Despite the mediocre start, Romero has still been solid in his rookie season, posting a 2-0 record, 1.66 […]

Justin Bour Reaches Three Times In Marlins' Loss

Miami Marlins first baseman Justin Bour picked up one hit and two walks in Saturday's loss to Atlanta. He also scored the Marlins' lone run in the game. While his average sits at a lowly .242 this season, Bour still has power potential with his nine home runs and has added another facet to his […]

Daniel Palka's Triple Wins It For The White Sox

Chicago White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka came through in the clutch on Saturday, driving in two runs with a triple in the third inning. Palka, 26, was an unheralded outfield prospect coming into the season, but he has made the most out of his opportunity in 2018. He has posted a .271/.295/.542 slash line in […]

Daniel Palka's Triple Wins It For The White Sox

Chicago White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka came through in the clutch on Saturday, driving in two runs with a triple in the third inning. Palka, 26, was an unheralded outfield prospect coming into the season, but he has made the most out of his opportunity in 2018. He has posted a .271/.295/.542 slash line in […]

Lucas Giolito Limits Damage In Decent Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito managed to limit the damage in a decent start against the Rangers on Saturday. Giolito worked six innings and managed to pick up the win. Gilito scattered four hits and two walks over the six innings, striking out three batters. He allowed three runs on the night but […]

Nate Jones Racks Up Another Save

Chicago White Sox closer Nate Jones racked up the save for the White Sox Saturday. Jones has now picked up the save in each of the last two save opportunities for the White Sox. It was a bit of a bumpy ride Saturday, as Jones allowed the first two runners to get on base, but […]

Daniel Robertson Grand Against Los Angeles Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson was involved in all five runs by Tampa Bay Saturday versus the Angels. He drove in the first four with a second-inning grand slam which would stand up as the game-winner. He would also come around to score the other Rays run later in the game. In his last […]

Alex Colome Earns A Save Saturday Versus Los Angeles

Tampa Bay Rays closer Alex Colome came in to end the late rally by the Angels Saturday. The Angels had just gotten a two-run HR by Mike Trout to close the deficit to 5-3 with no outs in the ninth inning when manager Kevin Cash called for Colome. He would set down three straight batters […]

Ryan Yarbrough Strong Versus Los Angeles Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough had a strong outing Saturday versus the Angels. Coming in to start the second inning, he went 6 1/3 innings allowing one run. Yarbrough would earn the win to move to 4-2 with a 3.54 ERA. He is starting to become interesting in deeper leagues, especially if they […]

Matt Duffy Makes His Return Saturday Versus Los Angeles

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy made his return from his hamstring injury Saturday versus the Angels. He went hitless but walked twice. His return helped the Rays to decide to call up pitching help instead of another infielder in response to the DL stint for Hechavarria. He is batting .315 with two home […]

Sergio Romo To Start Sunday After Saturday Success

Tampa Bay Rays reliever Sergio Romo will make the start for the second consecutive day Sunday versus Los Angeles. Saturday, he would throw a perfect first inning while striking out all three batters he faced. The Rays have decided to try the same thing Sunday so their starter can go longer into the game before […]

Nathan Eovaldi WIll Have Another Rehab Start

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) will throw another rehab outing in the minors. His Friday outing was a success but the club has decided he will make another outing on Wednesday with Triple-A Durham. If all goes well, the expectation is that he will rejoin the Rays before the end of the […]

Adeiny Hechavarria Placed On Disabled List Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday. It seemed likely from the start that he would go to the DL but the Rays waited a few days to give him a chance. The hope is that the strain will turn out to be minor which could […]

Luis Severino Picks Up MLB-Best Seventh Win

There are only three pitchers in MLB who head into Sunday’s action with seven wins, more than any others. One of the three is New York Yankees ace Luis Severino, who earned his most recent victory on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. The 24-year-old went six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits with […]

Gary Sanchez Unleashed In Kansas City Victory

Before New York Yankees ace Luis Severino got his first pitches in on Saturday night, his offense had already provided him with run support. The first run of the game was scored in the top of the first as starting catcher Gary Sanchez doubled to center, scoring Aaron Hicks. It was only the beginning of […]

Gleyber Torres Bounces Back With Home Run

On Friday, Gleyber Torres’ lack of playing time during the week was quite evident, as he committed two defensive gaffes that cost the New York Yankees in defeat. Saturday, however, saw the rookie bounce back in a major way. The 21-year-old stepped to the plate in the fourth inning after New York’s two-run lead had […]

Aaron Hicks Ties Mickey Mantle’s Elusive Feat

On April 13th against the Detroit Tigers earlier this season, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks connected on an inside-the-park home run. On Saturday night, once again on the road, this time against the Kansas City Royals, the 28-year-old pulled off the same feat. With his club up a run in the third inning, Hicks […]

Corey Kluber Strikes Out Ten on Saturday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber picked up his seventh win of the season on Saturday, striking out 10 Astros in seven innings, allowing just two runs. He didn't allow a walk and improved his record to 7-2. His ERA now sits at 2.36 and his WHIP is at 0.84. He's well on his way […]

Scott Kingery’s Big Hit Ignites Comeback Victory

Late in Saturday’s game at Busch Stadium between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies, the road team found themselves down a run in the eighth inning. After two quick outs, outfielder Nick Williams drew a walk. The next man up was rookie Scott Kingery, who’s struggled at the plate the last month. The […]

Seranthony Dominguez Records First Career Save

With the Philadelphia Phillies evidently having put the closer role up for grabs, another reliever got his chance on Saturday. Seranthony Dominguez, the right-handed rookie, picked up the save in St. Louis, tossing a pair of shutout innings while recording two strikeouts along the way. The 24-year-old has yet to concede a hit since his […]

Craig Kimbrel Secures 13th Save

Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel locked down the ninth inning to pick up his 13th save in a 6-3 win over the Orioles. He pitched a clean inning with no hits and no walks, but he also failed to get a strikeout as well, which is surprising considering his 39.7 K%. Kimbrel combined with […]
