Luis Severino Picks Up Second Victory

New York Yankees ace Luis Severino has now made two strong starts to kick off his 2018 campaign following Wednesday afternoon’s performance against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 24-year-old went into the eighth inning in his home debut in the Bronx, allowing just two runs on five hits with a walk and seven strikeouts. The […]

Rhys Hoskins Continues To Carry Offense In Loss

The Philadelphia Phillies offense has been lackluster to begin the new season, with six batters hitting under .200 presently. While two are hitting in the .280s, last year’s phenom, Rhys Hoskins, remains the force of the batting order. The 25-year-old picked up two hits and walked once in Wednesday's 4-2 defeat, raising his batting average […]

Marcell Ozuna Gets Two Hits and Drives in a Run on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna finished Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. The former Marlin is off to a decent start, hitting .269. His fantasy owners will expect him to improve on his .692 OPS, though. Ozuna is a streaky hitter, but hitting cleanup in a […]

Yadier Molina Cranks Another Home Run on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina hit another home run on Wednesday, finishing the game 1-for-3 with two RBI. Molina's third home run of the season came in the fourth inning. He's hitting .261 with a .932 OPS so far, numbers his fantasy owners will certainly take from the veteran backstop.

Corey Dickerson Notches Two Hits, Steal on Wednesday

After a slow start to his Pittsburgh Pirates career, outfielder Chris Dickerson had his first multi-hit game of the year on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins. Dickerson went 2-for-4 on the night with a run and a steal, which is a nice bonus for a player who had only 14 career stolen bases coming into […]

Carlos Martinez Dominates the Brewers on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez dominated the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday, tossing 8 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing four hits and two walks, striking out 10. Martinez was lifted after 114 pitches. A complete game would have been nice, but fantasy owners were thrilled enough to see him bounce back from a rough […]

Christian Yelich Exits Game With Oblique Stiffness

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich exited the game on Wednesday with oblique stiffness, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell. Yelich was replaced by Hernan Perez in the seventh inning most likely after making a sliding catch in foul ground. However, nothing is certain right now. Yelich is pretty much guaranteed to get the day off […]

Cody Allen Contributes Two Scoreless Innings on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians closer Cody Allen pitched two scoreless innings on Wednesday, allowing two hits and striking out one. There wasn't a save situation for Allen in this one, but he came in and did his job, keeping the game tied. He's a streaky pitcher who will lose the strike zone at times, but he has […]

Corey Kluber Tosses Seven Strong Innings on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber pitched seven strong innings on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. He allowed two runs on three hits and two walks, striking out six. Kluber's ERA moved to 2.40 with the outing. He's been strong out of the gate this season and should continue to be one of the […]

Jose Ramirez Goes Hitless Again on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez finished Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels 0-for-5 with a walk. At least he got on base, right? Ramirez smacked a home run on Tuesday for his first hit of the season, lending some hope that he'd break out of his season-opening slump. It didn't happen on Wednesday, as […]

Ivan Nova Knocked Around in Loss to Twins

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Ivan Nova allowed five runs on five hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday, taking the loss against the Minnesota Twins. He struck out just three.

Francisco Lindor Records Two Hits on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor knocked two singles on Wednesday, finishing up the game 2-for-6 with two runs scored. It's been a slow start for the stellar shortstop, who is hitting just .192 on the young season. He's due for a hot streak soon, and Wednesday was a good start.

Josh Bell Crushes First Home Run of Season

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell belted his first home run of 2018, a two-run shot in a 7-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. While it was his only hit of the game, Bell certainly made it count. The blast traveled 432 feet and came off the bat at 113.7 mph, the hardest […]

Brad Boxberger Picks Up Second Save

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger picked up his second save of the season, shutting down the Dodgers on Wednesday. The outing wasn't without its blemishes as Boxberger walked two of the five batters he faced. Walks have been an issue in the past for Boxberger, and he has yet to make an appearance this season […]

Jhoulys Chacin Pounded By Errors In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin went 5 2/3 innings, giving up six runs (three earned), seven hits, two walks, and earning five strikeouts in the 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Chacin didn't really get much help from his team, as not only did they not score a single run, but Christian Yelich […]

Johnny Cueto Picks Up Win Wednesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto allowed one run over six innings versus the Mariners Wednesday evening. Cueto only recorded one strikeout and allowed eight hits while walking two. The right-hander tweaked his ankle early in the contest trying to field a Dee Gordon bunt, but remained in the game. Cueto has been off […]

Brandon Crawford Hits First Home Run

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford hit his first home run of the season Wednesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Crawford also added a single to go along with a run scored and two RBI. Crawford is best suited for NL-only leagues at the moment.

Patrick Corbin One Hits Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin was masterful on Wednesday, shutting out the Dodgers over seven innings while giving up just one hit, one walk and striking out 12 batters. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp was the only player who could touch Corbin, walking and hitting a double. Corbin's ERA is now at 1.38 and he's looked great […]

Eric Sogard Still Without A Hit In 2018

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Eric Sogard went 0-for-3 in the 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. In 11 at-bats this season so far, Sogard has yet to register a hit and to make matters worse, Jonathan Villar just upped his batting average to .306 to start this year, so Sogard is bound to lose some […]

Brandon Belt Has Big Game Wednesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt hit his first home run of the season Wednesday night. Belt did it all Wednesday as he added two singles to finish 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. He also drew a walk. Belt is off to a strong start and is hitting .353 early on […]

Jonathan Villar Gets Two Hits To Continue Hot April

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 2-for-4 in the 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Villar was easily the best hitter Wednesday as he racked up two of the five hits that the Brewers lineup managed to muster against Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez, who threw 8 1/3 innings in a shutout. These two hits now […]

Free-Agent Brandon Phillips Has "Strong Desire" to Play in 2018

Last season with the Braves and Angels, Phillips had 13 home runs and 11 steals with a .285 average and .735 on-base plus slugging percentage. He's averaged 12 HRs and 16 steals with a […]

Joakim Soria Picks Up Second Save

Chicago White Sox reliever Joakim Soria picked up his second save of the season Wednesday evening versus the White Sox. Soria is now 2-for-2 in save opportunities and it looks like the closer gig is his as long as he continues to perform well. Soria should be owned in all leagues as long as he […]

Jose Abreu Off To Hot Start In 2018

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu continued his strong start to the season with his second home run of the season Wednesday evening. Abreu is now hitting .400 with two home runs and three RBI. He remains one of the best all-around power hitters.

Matt Davidson Hits Fourth Home Run

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson hit his fourth home run of the season on Wednesday. Davidson had cooled off since hitting three home runs on Opening Day and finished the game 1-for-3. Davidson is hitting .263 and has driven in seven runs. He is an option for owners seeking power, but be aware […]

Jose Iglesias Is Off To A Slow Start This Season

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias will never be a hugely productive fantasy shortstop, but he's off to an unusually slow start this season. Iglesias is a career .268 hitter and has topped the .300 mark twice since joining the Tigers in 2013. He's especially good with runners in scoring position, posting a slash line of […]

Hunter Greene Will Focus On Pitching This Season

Cincinnati Reds prospect and No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft, Hunter Greene, will begin the season exclusively as a pitcher, according to senior director of player development Jeff Graupe.

Jake Odorizzi Forced From Game In Fifth Inning

Minnesota Twins right-hander Jake Odorizzi struggled through a snowy, windy day in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Odorizzi lasted just 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits while walking three and striking out two. While it wasn't a disastrous start for the right-hander, he did cough up two leads and failed to work deep enough […]

Wade Miley Is Playing Catch

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley (groin) is currently playing catch with the Double-A affiliate, Biloxi Shuckers. The hope for Miley is that he can get on the mound sometime next week and continue his recovery process. As of right now, he is still on schedule to return in about a month. The Brewers are […]
