Logan Gilbert Shuts Down San Diego For Fourth Victory

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert earned the win on Tuesday when he allowed one run on three hits with two walks and six strikeouts over seven innings in a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald earned the save on Tuesday when he allowed a single and a walk to go along with a strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning in a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres. Per usual, whenever he has a decent lead, Sewald pounded the strike zone when he came […]

Andres Munoz Secures A Hold On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz picked up a hold on Tuesday when he allowed no hits and struck out two over a scoreless eighth inning in a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres. Appearing in his first game since April 7 due to a shoulder strain and facing his former club, the Padres, […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Reaches Once In Win

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. went 1-for-4 with a single and a strikeout in a 6-4 win over the New York Mets on Tuesday. The 25-year-old had a rather quiet night at the dish, only picking up one hit and failing to score a run. However, he did extend his modest hitting streak to […]

Justin Crawford Enjoys Productive Stretch At The Plate

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford, a Bishop Gorman product, became a first-round pick mere months after he turned 18 years old last year. The son of Carl Crawford dominated the prep circuit and has wasted no time making his presence felt within the Philadelphia organization. Crawford is an incredibly well-rounded athlete with enough high-level […]

Drew Thorpe Bounces Back Sunday

New York Yankees pitching prospect Drew Thorpe, a Cal Poly product, was a second-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. He delivered fantastic results in his final season of Division I action and was considered a great pick for the Yankees at the time of his selection. Less than 12 months later, New York still […]

Jace Jung Has Great Week At The Plate

Detroit Tigers minor league second baseman Jace Jung, 22, found his way to the club with the 12th pick in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft. The Texas Tech product produced enough in college to hear his name called alongside some of the best up-and-coming prospects in baseball. Jung is already viewed as […]

Yu-Min Lin Strikes Out 13 In Dominant Outing

Arizona Diamondbacks pitching prospect Yu-Min Lin, now 19, signed with the club out of Taiwan in December 2021. He wasted no time transitioning to baseball in America, quickly emerging as one of the top prospects in Arizona's system. When facing batters, Lin sets the tone with a low-90s fastball. However, he really leaves his mark […]

Imanol Vargas Producing Solid Results

Los Angeles Dodgers minor-league first baseman Imanol Vargas signed with the club out of Venezuela in 2017. He has slowly progressed through the minor leagues and could still be in Double-A when his 25th birthday comes around at the end of June. Although Vargas is primarily a first baseman, he has spent more than two […]

Cody Bellinger Will Need A Rehab Assignment

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (knee) will need a rehab assignment before returning to the club, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports, but nothing is scheduled yet. The former MVP hasn't played since May 15 after suffering a left knee injury during a play in center. Bellinger was enjoying a solid bounce back after two awful […]

Justin Steele Playing Catch Daily

Chicago Cubs left-hander Justin Steele (forearm) is playing catch every day and progressing well, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. Manager David Ross told reporters on Tuesday that his target date to return is June 17. Steele landed on the injured list after suffering forearm tightness during his last start on May 5. Before the […]

Hunter Renfroe Sitting On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Hayden Wesneski and the Chicago Cubs. The eight-year veteran is still slugging in his first season in L.A., batting .252 with 11 bombs, 32 runs, 30 RBI, and no steals over 58 games. Mickey Moniak will get an opportunity […]

Christopher Morel Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Christopher Morel is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Angels. The 23-year-old came on strong this year and is slashing .256/.318/.641 over 22 games, but hasn't recorded a hit since April 26 and is losing playing time. Instead, it will be catcher Miguel Amaya […]

Anthony Rendon Activated From Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels activated third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned infielder Livan Soto to Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move. Rendon has been out since May 15 due to a left-groin strain, but he's now back with the Halos and should be back at third […]

Joc Pederson, Thairo Estrada Back From IL And Starting

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder Joc Pederson (hand) and infielder Thairo Estrada (wrist) from the injured list on Tuesday, and both players are starting against right-hander Dinelson Lamet and the Colorado Rockies. Pederson is serving as the designated hitter and batting third, while Estrada is at the keystone and hitting in the two-hole. In […]

Gavin Williams - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Williams, SP, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: Unfortunately, I'm not sure we see him this month unless there's another injury in Cleveland's rotation. Even Cal Quantrill and Peyton Battenfield on the IL, Cleveland still has a full rotation with Aaron Civale and Triston McKenzie recently returning from the IL, and all five arms are pitching well right now. However, there are some rumblings […]

Andres Munoz Activated On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since early April due to a right shoulder strain. He only pitched in three contests before going down, but is healthy now and available for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Munoz […]

Owen Miller Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Owen Miller is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This appears to be a routine rest day for Miller, which will likely be happening more frequently now. The Brewers have Luis Urias back in the fold and Willy Adames returning soon. That means, Miller is likely […]

Byron Buxton Placed On Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (ribs) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. This doesn't come as a huge shock after Buxton missed the last three games due to a left rib contusion. The organization tried to avoid using the injured list, but ultimately Buxton needs time to rest and recover. In […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. To Miss Another Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (groin) is being held out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday. The 29-year-old will miss Tuesday's contest versus the Washington Nationals due to tightness in his groin. He's expected to be available off the bench, which means this is probably a minor injury. Fantasy […]

Gunnar Henderson Remains Out Once Again

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The rookie infielder was removed from Saturday's contest due to lower back discomfort. He sat out on Sunday and it appears he's still dealing with the issue. Henderson did mention he is feeling better and […]

Matt Chapman Not Starting On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (toe) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. He is being held out after having an infected ingrown toenail removed. Manager John Schneider said this should be a one-game absence, so fantasy managers should expect Chapman back on Wednesday. In the meantime, […]

Francisco Alvarez Absent On Tuesday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The rookie backup appears to be getting a routine rest day here. He's slashing .237/.291/.492 with eight home runs and 19 RBI in 34 games this season. Omar Narvaez will cover behind the plate and bat […]

Red Sox Call Up Chris Murphy

The Boston Red Sox recalled left-handed pitching prospect Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday and optioned pitcher Kaleb Ort to the minors in a corresponding move. Murphy, who is listed by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 14 prospect, will initially work out of Boston's bullpen, which won't make him attractive to fantasy managers […]
