Matt Moore Plays Catch On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Matt Moore (oblique) played catch ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Seattle Mariners. The 33-year-old has appeared in 22 games this season, amassing a 1.44 ERA with 21 strikeouts and 12 holds. Unfortunately, he suffered a right oblique strain at the end of May and landed on the 15-day injured […]

Ryan Weber May Need Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees relief pitcher Ryan Weber (elbow) may need Tommy John surgery. The 32-year-old has appeared in 14 1/3 innings in eight games this season, amassing a 3.14 ERA with seven strikeouts. Unfortunately, he landed on the 15-day injured list on June 3 because of right forearm and elbow discomfort, which resulted in a […]

Ben Joyce Placed On 15-Day IL

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Ben Joyce (arm) landed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The 22-year-old was yanked from Friday's meeting with the Mariners after experiencing numbness in his hand and forearm caused by ulnar neuritis, so he'll miss at least a few weeks. Joyce has played sparingly for the big club in 2023, […]

Elite Hitter Splits for Fantasy Baseball Streaming - Platoon Batters to Target

Never has the platoon been more popular than it is in the 2023 season. Sure-fire everyday players are becoming an endangered species as clubs continually attempt to exploit any given matchup at any given time. Advanced analytics certainly plays its part, however, you don't have to dig too deep to find certain players that feast […]

Eric Cross' Dynasty Notes - Fantasy Baseball News for Elly De La Cruz, Andrew Abbott, Jo Adell, Josh Jung, Spencer Steer and more

In the dynasty world, news and notes articles take on a whole new meaning. Not only are we discussing short-term value with these players, but we need to look long-term as well. A good dynasty manager is like Crazy Eyes from the movie Mr. Deeds. You have to have one eye on the present and […]

Harrison Bader Making Progress

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) is progressing after landing on the IL. He's been out with a low-grade hamstring string, but fortunately, he's been running, hitting, and throwing without discomfort, which is certainly a positive sign. The 29-year-old has played well enough this season to land on some fantasy rosters, hitting .267 with […]

Carlos Rodon May Be Nearing Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow, back) faced hitters on June 7, throwing 20 pitches. The left-hander is scheduled for more sessions on June 11 and June 15. Assuming everything goes according to plan, he might begin a rehab assignment shortly after. Fantasy managers continue to wait patiently for Rodon's debut with the […]

Corey Seager Posts First Career Five-Hit Day

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager went 5-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI, and two runs scored in an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. It's hard to believe that this was the 29-year-old shortstop's first career five-hit day but it was. He swatted a double off Taj Bradley in […]

Marcus Semien Collects Two More Hits On Saturday

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout in an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. The Rangers were all over rookie starting pitcher Taj Bradley in this one, chasing him after 3 2/3 innings and five runs (four earned). Semien reached twice with a […]

Freddie Freeman Reaches Twice, Drives In A Run In Blowout Win

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run scored, and a walk in a 9-0 shutout win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Dodgers were all over Aaron Nola in this one, jumping on him for six earned runs. Freeman did his part with an RBI single to […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Reaches Once, Caught Stealing

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a single and was caught stealing in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. There wasn't much offense to go around for the Royals as Cole Irvin and the rock-solid Orioles bullpen only allowed one run. Witt Jr. reached once with a single in the […]

Josh Hader Fires Perfect Ninth Inning

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Josh Hader was tasked with shutting the door versus the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The left-hander seemingly had no issues as he needed only 12 pitches to finish off the Rockies. He struck out Ryan McMahon, got Austin Wynns to ground out and fanned Elehuris Montero to record his 15th […]

Brandon Belt Exits Early On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Brandon Belt (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The left-handed slugger was pulled out of the contest due to left hamstring tightness. Manager John Schneider mentioned that Belt will undergo additional testing to determine the severity of his injury. Honestly, hamstring issues can […]

Andrew Abbott Extends Scoreless Streak

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott took the mound for his second career start on Saturday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. The left-hander looked sharp as he went 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing five hits, and striking out four batters in the 8-4 win. The 24-year-old needed 105 pitches to work into the sixth inning, […]

J.D. Davis Back In The Lineup On Saturday

San Francisco Giants third baseman J.D. Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 30-year-old was a late scratch from Friday's game due to right hip tightness. He did appear as a pinch-hitter in the contest, so it doesn't sound like a major issue. Davis will cover […]

Carlos Correa Hits Go-Ahead Grand Slam

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The slugging infielder was hitless coming into the eighth inning, but came up with the biggest hit of the game. Correa launched a go-ahead grand slam off right-hander Adam Cimber in the eighth inning. The Twins […]

Jarren Duran Sitting Out On Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, but is out of the lineup for the second straight game. It looks like the return of Adam Duvall is going to strip away playing […]

Seiya Suzuki Absent On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki is absent from Saturday's starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 28-year-old outfielder. Suzuki is slashing .278/.367/.450 with six home runs and 19 RBI through his first 50 games of the season. Christopher Morel will bat third and cover right […]

Josh Fleming To Visit Specialist Next Week

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Josh Fleming (elbow) is scheduled to visit Dr. Keith Meister next week. There appears to be additional concern here as the Rays have decided to get Fleming's elbow evaluated in person. The fear is that Fleming could be forced to have season-ending Tommy John surgery. Fantasy managers will have to stay […]

Andres Gimenez Absent On Saturday

Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez is absent from Saturday's starting lineup versus the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for the slumping infielder. Gimenez is slashing .241/.304/.352 with three home runs and 17 RBI across 59 games this season. Tyler Freeman will cover second base and bat seventh versus right-hander […]

Vinnie Pasquantino Placed On Injured List

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The left-handed slugger made an early exit during Friday's game due to a right shoulder issue. The organization is unsure how long Pasquantino is going to be sidelined. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for another […]

Anthony Rizzo Out Of The Lineup On Saturday

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This appears to be a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. It's a much-needed day off as Rizzo is 1-for-27 across his last seven games since returning from injury. DJ LeMahieu will cover […]

Andrew Painter To Throw Bullpen Session On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Andrew Painter (elbow) is scheduled to throw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Saturday. The 20-year-old has been shut down since spring training due to UCL sprain in his right elbow. The Phillies have been extremely cautious about bringing back their top pitching prospect. The right-hander figures to spend a few months […]

James Karinchak Optioned To Minors

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher James Karinchak has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. This is a bit of a surprise considering Karinchak has been pitching fairly well this season. He's posting a 3.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 38/19 K/BB ratio across 32 appearances. The expectation is that the 27-year-old will be back on roster […]

Cedric Mullins Has Resumed Baseball Activities

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (groin) has resumed baseball activities at the team's complex in Sarasota, Florida. The 28-year-old hit the injured list back in late May with a groin strain and currently has no timetable for his return. It's nice to hear that he's resumed baseball activities but fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see […]
