Noah Syndergaard Pitches Well, But Not Living Up To 2018 Hype

In most fantasy baseball drafts this past spring, New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard was drafted as either the fifth or sixth starting pitcher off the board, kicking off the second tier of pitchers after Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, Chris Sale and Corey Kluber. Thus far in 2018, it’s fair to say he’s been […]

Yoenis Cespedes Is Red-Hot

Less than 24 hours ago, fantasy owners of New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes were still worried about how much time the slugger would miss after injuring his thumb on Sunday in San Diego.

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale pitched great but ended up with a no-decision in a 8-6 loss to the Royals on Tuesday. Sale threw seven innings with five hits, allowing one earned run and two walks while striking out six. Sale continues to be the victim of bad luck. His record stays at 2-1. […]

Shane Greene Fires Perfect Ninth For Fifth Save

Billy Hamilton Picks Up Two Hits

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton came through for his team on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, going 2-for-4.

On the […]

Wilson Ramos Returns To Lineup Versus Detroit Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos returned from rehabbing his groin Tuesday versus the Tigers. He was the only Tampa Bay hitter to reach twice in their 2-1 loss.

Chris Archer Let Down By Rays Offense Tuesday Versus Detroit

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer allowed only two runs Tuesday versus the Tigers. He lasted six innings while striking out six.

Kelvin Herrera Blows Save Tuesday

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera blew his first save of the season Tuesday. Herrera ended up taking the win but that will only offer a little satisfaction to him. Herrera surrendered his first home run of the season to Eduardo Nunez in the bottom of the 12th inning. That was also the first […]

Keone Kela Implodes Tuesday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Keone Kela had a disastrous outing Tuesday. Coming in with the Rangers ahead by four, Kela gave up four runs to surrender the lead. This will not count as a blown save on the stat sheet, but for the Rangers it will feel like one. This is Kela's second rough outing […]

Brad Hand Collects Save Tuesday Night

After Relief Outing, Domingo German Likely Starting Sunday
