Blake Snell Has Another Great Outing Tuesday Versus Atlanta

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell threw another gem in the loss Tuesday versus the Braves. He went 6 1/3 innings, allowing just one run, though his strikeouts were underwhelming at five. He now has a 2.40 ERA on the season and has allowed more than two runs only once in eight 2018 starts. […]

Jeremy Hellickson Takes No-Hitter Into Seventh Inning In Win

Washington Nationals starter Jeremy Hellickson nearly no-hit the Padres on Tuesday, four days after they were no-hit by a quartet of Dodgers pitchers. But Hellickson immediately got into trouble when he began to go through the lineup a third time, as leadoff hitter Travis Jankowski laced a single. A second and last hit, a double […]

Josh Hader Locks Down Fifth Save Of 2018 Season

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader threw two perfect innings while striking out three in the 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. This was another one of Hader's multi-inning saves, and he's now up to five saves on the season. With closer Corey Knebel coming back on Wednesday, Hader most likely won't be the first […]

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brent Suter went 4 2/3 innings on Tuesday, giving up five hits, two earned runs and one walk while striking out five in the 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. Despite Suter not looking too great out of the bullpen, he managed to hit a home run off Corey Kluber in the […]

Nick Franklin Injured On Tuesday, Likely Headed To DL

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Nick Franklin exited Tuesday's game with a quadriceps strain and is most likely headed to the disabled list, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Aroldis Chapman Shuts Boston Down In Save

With the New York Yankees holding on to a slim 3-2 lead Tuesday night in the Bronx, manager Aaron Boone called on closer Aroldis Chapman to finish off the Boston Red Sox. The Cuban Missile has been relatively dominant thus far, having blown just one save, but his night would begin against Rafael Devers, who […]

Giancarlo Stanton Homers Twice To Beat Red Sox

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton seems to be getting comfortable smacking home runs in pairs. The 28-year-old connected on two home runs Tuesday night in a 3-2 victory over the rival Boston Red Sox, putting the Yankees in a tie for both the American League East lead and the best record in baseball. It […]

Luis Severino Gets No-Decision After Strong Start

Coming off his first career complete game, which was also a shutout, New York Yankees ace Luis Severino took the mound in the Bronx against the rival Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The 24-year-old breezed through the first four innings of the game before running into trouble in the fifth inning. Starting off with a […]

Brett Gardner Risking Playing Time

The New York Yankees are the best team in baseball as of Tuesday night, boasting the best record in the sport and currently on the hottest run. Their leadoff man, however, has struggled mightily, despite his offense’s explosion. Veteran outfielder Brett Gardner is hitting an abysmal .198 following a hitless performance against the Red Sox. […]

Odubel Herrera Drives In Another Run In Win

Twenty four hours after driving in a career-high five runs in the Philadelphia Phillies 11-0 destruction of the San Francisco Giants, outfielder Odubel Herrera was at it again on Tuesday. The 26-year-old recorded two hits from the No. 3 spot in the lineup, but it was his hit in the third inning that made a […]

Jorge Alfaro Smashes Homer In Phillies Victory

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Jorge Alfaro continued his topsy-turvy beginning to 2018 on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old Colombian has been praised for his strong arm behind the plate, but at the plate he’s struggled to get in a rhythm, even resulting in lost starting time to backup catcher Andrew Knapp. Recently, however, […]

Lucas Giolito Continues To Struggle

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito continued his struggling ways on Tuesday versus the Pirates. Giolito gave up seven hits, four runs, two walks and struck out three batters in four innings. Giolito now owns an ugly 7.25 ERA and should not be trusted by fantasy owners until he can string together a few […]

Yolmer Sanchez Has Three Hits Tuesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yolmer Sanchez picked up three hits in five at-bats Tuesday evening versus the Pirates. Among his three hits was his fourth triple on the season. Sanchez also scored a run and had one RBI. Sanchez is hitting .306 on the season and is making the case to be owned in […]

Welington Castillo Blasts Two Home Runs Tuesday

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI Tuesday night versus the Pirates. Castillo came into Tuesday with just four hits in his last 24 at-bats. He remains one of the better power-hitting catchers in the game but is hitting just .237 on the season. His […]

Jose Abreu Drives In Two Runs Versus Pirates On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu finished Tuesday's contest 2-for-4 with two RBI. Abreu had been in a bad slump entering Tuesday with eight hits over his last 44 at-bats.

Wade Miley Exits Tuesday With Strained Oblique, Will Go To DL

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley only recorded one out before exiting Wednesday's game with a strained right oblique. After only making his first start for the Brewers just a week ago where he pitched six innings and only gave up one run, this is unfortunate, especially since he worked to recover from a groin […]

Corey Knebel Will Be Activated Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers closer Corey Knebel (hamstring) will be officially activated off the 10-day disabled list for Wednesday's bout against the Cleveland Indians. Knebel has been suffering from a hamstring injury since April 5 in only his second appearance and is ahead of his original six-week schedule. Knebel will most likely slide right back into the […]

Aaron Nola Dominant in 12-Strikeout Victory

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola had his best game of the season on Tuesday night. The righty sat down 12 San Francisco batters, which was a career high in strikeouts for the Philadelphia ace. He only gave up five hits and allowed one earned over seven innings. Nola has had a stellar year to […]

Jonathan Schoop Drives In Two Runs In Loss

The beautiful thing about fantasy baseball is that you're not penalized if your player drives in runs during a blowout. That was the case with Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop on Tuesday night. He was returning from an injury and hit a two-run single in the ninth inning with Baltimore being down 15-3 at […]

Brandon Morrow Picks Up Eighth Save

Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow picked up his eighth save of the season Tuesday evening versus the Miami Marlins. Morrow has adapted well in his first season as a closer and is now 7-for-8 in save opportunities. Morrow now owns a 1.38 ERA and should already be owned in all leagues.

Arodys Vizcaino Gets Save No. 5 In Win

Atlanta Braves closer Arodys Vizcaino has been lights-out when he comes in to pitch. The closer nailed down his fifth save of the season on Tuesday night. He did have to work around a walk, but it was a scoreless frame. Vizcaino has a 1.72 ERA and while he's not that high among the saves […]

Eloy Jimenez Hits Another Home Run On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez continues to tear the cover off the ball. Jimenez finished Tuesday's game 2-for-4 and hit his seventh home run of the season. Jimenez has been on a tear and is now hitting .333 on the season with seven home runs and 21 RBI in just 78 at-bats. Jimenez […]

Victor Caratini Knocks In Two Runs

Chicago Cubs catcher Victor Caratini went 1-for-4 with a run and two RBI on Tuesday evening. Caratini got the start with Willson Contreras getting a day of rest. Caratini's second RBI knocked in Kris Bryant for the game-winning run on a fielder's choice. Caratini doesn't hold fantasy value, as he plays second fiddle to Contreras, […]

Javier Baez Has Pinch-Hit Single Tuesday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez (groin) had a pinch-hit single Tuesday evening. Baez started the game on the bench after suffering tightness in his right groin on Monday. Baez ended up staying in the game and playing third base, and that is a good sign that he could return to the starting lineup on […]

Ronald Acuna Hits Mammoth Homer For Lone Run In Win

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna is showing why he's considered the No. 2 prospect in baseball. The 20-year-old crushed a pitch during Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. The homer, which landed well beyond the left field fence, was his third of the season. He's making people sit up and take notice and health-willing, he could […]

Sean Newcomb Twirls Six Fantastic Innings In 1-0 Win Over Rays

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb tossed six stellar innings on Tuesday, and the lefty gave up a mere two hits while striking out six. He did walk three but he was never truly threatened. Newcomb is now 3-1 and his 2.88 ERA is very nice, indeed. He'll likely face the Marlins next, so he […]

Dylan Bundy Records No Outs In Horrific Outing

Wow. Let's just sit and unpack how bad Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy was on Tuesday night. Not only did he give up seven runs in less than a full inning -- he didn't even get one measly batter out -- he did it in spectacular fashion. Bundy gave up four homers in less […]

James Paxton Throws No-Hitter Against Blue Jays

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton went nine innings on Tuesday, only giving up three walks while striking out seven in the 5-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. This marks the first time a Canadian pitcher has ever no hit a team in Canada and also marks the sixth no-hitter in Mariners history. The […]

Johnny Cueto Will Not Need Surgery

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) had a second MRI to determine the extent of ligament damage, and afterwards said he trusts "the best in the business" when he says rehab will fix it, referring to Dr. James Andrews. Andrews is the best in the business, so it is safe to say that […]

Matt Harvey Traded To The Reds

Former All-Star and New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey has been traded to the Cincinnati Reds for catcher Devin Mesoraco. After starting the year with a 7.00 ERA in 27 innings pitched and refusing to go to Triple-A, it was evident that Harvey needed a change of scenery. With the Reds being 30th in the […]
