Cabrera is slashing .265/.286/.500 on the year with a home run, three doubles and six […]

Joey Gallo Out Of Lineup On Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Gallo has a sore wrist that he was able to play through on Thursday. It certainly doesn't sound like anything major for Gallo, who is slashing .250/.362/.550 with three home runs and eight RBI on […]

Robert Gsellman Activated Off The IL

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Gsellman (triceps) was activated off the injured list on Friday. Gsellman missed, roughly, the first two weeks of the 2020 season.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]

Kyle Tucker May Be Arriving

Coming into this season, Kyle Tucker was widely viewed as an intriguing outfielder due to his prospect pedigree and power-speed profile while hitting in a stacked Astros' lineup. Tucker slashed .266/.354/.555 with 34 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 536 plate appearances at Triple-A last season, leaving fantasy players drooling over his upside. Tucker […]
