Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Cardinals. This was Pollock's third multi-hit game of the season, and he's once again looking like the star he was prior to his elbow injury in 2016. His final stat line may […]

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ hit a two-run double to give the Cubs the lead and victory Saturday afternoon. Happ was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts prior to prior to his ninth inning at-bat. Happ is off to a slow start, but should still be rostered as he can be of big help once he gets […]

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant hit his second home run of the season Saturday. It was a rocket off of Zach Davies in the top of the 6th inning. Bryant finished the game 3-for-3 adding a single, triple and also drawing a walk. He remains of the best offensive options in the game.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish struck out nine batters and allowed one run on two hits Saturday. He also allowed one walk. Darvish bounced back in a good way after a rough debut.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez showed he's still got some wheels as he put up his first triple of the season against the Braves on Friday.

German Marquez Lit Up By Braves

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez was a popular sleeper coming into this season, but after a shiny first start, he got massacred by the Braves on Friday.

Lucas Giolito Roughed Up Saturday

Scott Schebler Still Struggling With Elbow Issue

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler is still having trouble with his right elbow and hand after getting hit by a pitch last Sunday. The outfielder was originally expected to return to the lineup on Friday but that didn't come to pass. Schebler was hit on the funny bone and is still experiencing numbness in his […]

Gregory Polanco Scratched From Saturday's Game

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (foot) has been scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Cincinnati Reds due to what the team is calling right foot discomfort. Polanco fouled a ball off his foot in Friday's 14-3 win but stayed in the game, so the injury doesn't seem like a serious one. The team is likely […]

Brandon Woodruff Optioned To Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff has been optioned to Triple-A as the Brewers bullpen has been overworked and needed a fresh arm, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. J.J. Hoover has been added to the 40 man roster and has been called up to the Brewers as a result of this move. […]

Christian Yelich Out Again On Saturday With Oblique Stiffness

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (oblique stiffness) will sit out Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.

Yelich won't be out for […]

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell will get a day of rest Saturday. Russell has been off to a good start this year with a .308 batting average.

Anthony Rizzo Remains Out Of Saturday’s Lineup

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) remains out of Saturday’s lineup with back tightness. Manager Joe Maddon believes the injury is minor, but it makes sense to play it safe by resting Rizzo. Victor Caratini will once again start first base and bat sixth. Rizzo remains day-to-day.

Matt Reynolds Called Up

Washington Nationals infielder Matt Reynolds has been called up by the Nationals to provide bench depth. He'll take Enny Romero's place, who was designated for assignment by the team on Saturday. Reynolds had previously been a middling Mets prospect who slashed .230/.326/.301 in 130 PA last year. He'll likely be used to pinch-hit late in […]

Dillon Peters Aims For Second-Straight Win On Saturday

Starting pitcher Dillon Peters looks for his second-straight win to begin the season when the Miami Marlins face the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The left-handed Peters threw seven shutout innings with two strikeouts against the Chicago Cubs last week. If Peters wants any shot at a win, however, he's going to need some help from […]

Miguel Montero Goes On Paternity Leave

Washington Nationals catcher Miguel Montero has gone on paternity leave and will be away from the team up to three days. Jhonatan Solano, a former Marlin, has been called up to take his place and back up Pedro Severino. Solano hasn't played a major league game since 2015 and isn't relevant for fantasy purposes.

Enny Romero Designated For Assignment

Washington Nationals reliever Enny Romero was designated for assignment by the ball club on Saturday. The team now has to put him through waivers over the next seven days or trade him within ten. The move likely means that the lefty's tenure with the Nats is over as he is unlikely to pass through waivers […]

Adam Eaton Available Off Bench Saturday, Will Play Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (ankle) isn't starting on Saturday, but is available off the bench. He's expected to play on Sunday. Eaton has been recovering from shifting scar tissue in his ankle, a condition that forced his early exit from the game on Thursday. It isn't serious, but any problems with his body must […]

Nick Ahmed Will Miss Fourth Straight Game

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed was removed from Saturday's lineup due to illness. Ahmed was initially penciled into the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, but was scratched late and is apparently still recovering from an illness that has kept him out since Monday. Chris Owings will take his spot in the lineup and […]

Brandon Drury Lands On 10-Day DL

In the bottom of the sixth inning of last night’s 14-inning defeat to the Baltimore Orioles, the New York Yankees surprisingly pinch hit Ronald Torreyes for third baseman Brandon Drury.

CC Sabathia Placed On 10-Day DL

The morning after he exited his start early with an injury, the New York Yankees have placed CC Sabathia on the 10-day disabled list.
