Wil Myers On A Mission For Redemption

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and double in Monday’s victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Myers crushed a fourth-inning mistake by Dodgers starter Walker Buehler into the opposite field seats for his third dinger before collecting a two-bagger later in the contest. The 29-year-old has rebounded commendably from […]

Chris Paddack Navigates Through Trouble To Collect Victory

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack gathered his second victory Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, pitching six frames of three-run ball. Paddack wasn’t his sharpest, yielding five hits including a leadoff home run by Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, but the Friars offense bailed him out. He fanned five and walked none. Through three starts, […]

Tyler Mahle Vying To Keep Starting Gig

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle took over a rotation spot with Wade Miley landing on the injured list, and he'll look to prove he belongs there in Tuesday's matchup versus the Indians. The Tribe has gotten off to a slow start offensively this season as they sit second-last in both BA (.181) and OPS […]

Kirby Yates Finally Gets A Save

San Diego Padres closer Kirby Yates notched his first save in Monday’s victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Spotted a two-run lead, Yates promptly served a moonshot to Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger to make things interesting. He then struck out the side to secure the Friars win. Through four outings, Yates possesses a grotesque 13.50 […]

Alex Dickerson Hits Solo Home Run Monday, Stays Hot

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson went 2-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, and a strikeout in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies. Dickerson pulled a Phillip Diehl curveball to right field for his second long ball of the season. Fantasy players are likely more focused on Dickerson's teammate Mike Yastrzemski, who has […]

Justus Sheffield Takes Loss Monday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield gave up four runs on four hits and two walks through 4 2/3 innings in Monday's loss to the Athletics. Considering Oakland's bats seem to have heated up as they put up 11 runs against the Mariners, the damage could have been worse but this is still not an […]

Mookie Betts Participates In Modified Hitting Drill

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (finger) took part in a hitting drill on Monday, using only his right hand on the bat after injuring his left middle finger on Sunday. Betts was pulled from the contest Sunday after experiencing swelling in his finger, and also sat out Monday's game versus the Padres. Manager Dave […]

Johnny Cueto Takes No-Decision Monday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto did not factor in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies. He navigated Coors Field fairly well, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits (including a two-run home run) and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings. The veteran now owns a 4.97 ERA with 11 strikeouts […]

Reds To Challenge Shane Bieber's Hot Start Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber is off to one of the hottest starts in the league's history with 27 punchouts in his first two games. The Reds offense will prove a more difficult task on Tuesday since they own a top-five OPS (.806) and wRC+ (123) versus right-handers while holding the fifth-lowest K-rate in […]

Rich Hill Placed On Injured List

The Minnesota Twins have placed starting pitcher Rich Hill on the injured list with shoulder fatigue. He was originally just pushed back in the rotation, but with roster cuts upcoming from 30 down to 28, the Twins are trying to keep another arm on the roster. The 40-year-old was sharp in his only outing of […]

J.P. Crawford Lifted Early During Monday's Game

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford was lifted in the eighth inning during the team's game versus the Athletics on Monday. Crawford fouled a ball off his knee the night previous, and with the score at 10-1, he was removed as a precaution. The minor ailment doesn't seem anywhere near significant, and he should be available […]

Leury Garcia Stays Hot

Chicago White Sox shortstop Leury Garcia stayed hot on Monday by going 3-for-5 with a run scored against the Brewers. Garcia has been on fire with seven singles in his last nine at-bats. With Tim Anderson (groin) on the injured list, Garcia will remain in the lineup at shortstop. Garcia will look to keep it […]

Alex Colome Picks Up Second Save

Chicago White Sox closer Alex Colome picked up his second save of the season on Monday versus the Brewers. Colome has now thrown four scoreless innings. The White Sox have a talented roster and Colome should be able to get his fair share of saves for the club. He should be owned in all formats.
