Didi Gregorius Brings .990 OPS With RISP

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius heads into Game 1 of the playoffs hitting only .186 over his last 113 at-bats to finish the regular season. Gregorius got a late start to his season recovering from Tommy John surgery and then suffered a bone bruise in his shoulder in late August. Gregorius has been inconsistent […]

Chris Martin Expected To Miss Rest Of Playoffs

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Chris Martin (oblique) is expected to miss the rest of the postseason after suffering an oblique injury in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals on Thursday. Atlanta can replace Martin on the roster, but it's unclear who the replacement will be. It's a big loss for […]

Mets Won't Be Trading Noah Syndergaard, Edwin Diaz

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said that the team definitely won't be trading starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard or closer Edwin Diaz in the offseason. The Mets plan on contending next year and beyond, so it wouldn't make sense to trade one of their best pitchers and best relievers. Thor posted a career-worst […]

Adalberto Mondesi Undergoes Surgery Wednesday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on Wednesday to repair the labrum in his left shoulder. The 24-year-old aggravated the shoulder injury that caused him to miss six weeks earlier this year when he dove for a ball on Sept. 22. The Royals are hopeful that he'll be ready for Opening […]

Stephen Strasburg To Start Game 2 Against Dodgers

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will start in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Friday.

Alex Verdugo Unlikely To Play In Postseason

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo (oblique) is unlikely to return at any point in the postseason, according to manager Dave Roberts. Verdugo hasn't played an MLB game since Aug. 4, so even if he were to be close to ready if the Dodgers advance to the World Series, he may not be an option […]

Clayton Kershaw To Start On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will make the start in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Nationals on Friday. Kershaw went 16-5 with a 3.03 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 189 strikeouts in 178 1/3 innings over 28 starts and one relief appearance in the regular season. He was better […]

Luis Arraez Could Make ALDS Roster

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez (ankle) has healed enough to put himself in the conversation to make the roster for the American League Division Series against the Yankees, which starts on Friday. The 22-year-old has done nothing but hit in his first taste of the majors this year, slashing .334/.399/.439 with four home runs and […]

Jose Berrios To Start Game 1 Of ALDS

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees on Friday. Berrios was the team's best pitcher this year, so it's a no-brainer decision. He went 14-8 with a 3.68 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 195 K's in 200 1/3 innings over 32 starts. Berrios also […]

A.J. Pollock Leading Off In Game 1 Of NLDS

CC Sabathia Left Off ALDS Roster

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) is being left off the roster for the American League Division Series against the Twins.

Sabathia could be […]

The New York Yankees have set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against the Twins.

The outing will mark Keuchel's 11th appearance in a playoff game, posting a 4-2 record with a 3.31 ERA. It will, however, be his first start in the National League with […]

Marcell Ozuna Looks To Be Difference-Maker

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna will look to regain his power stroke in the playoffs when the team locks horns with the Braves in the NLDS on Thursday. Ozuna posted a .411 slugging percentage in the second half after popping 20 home runs through his first 78 games. Ozuna's production has dipped consistently for […]

Yadier Molina Hitting .286 Lifetime In Playoffs

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina will lead the Cardinals into the playoffs for the 10th time in his career when the team opens up a series against the Braves in the NLDS. The 37-year-old has seen it all and has 315 career playoff plate appearances under his belt. He has hit .286 lifetime in […]

Paul Goldschmidt To Anchor Cardinals Offense

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt will ride a stellar second half of his season into the team's playoff duel against the Braves on Thursday. After posting only a .769 OPS in the first half, Goldschmidt turned it around drastically after the All-Star break. Over his last 73 games, 'Goldy' slashed .267/.349/.538 with 16 […]

Dexter Fowler Heads Into October Cold

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler is hitting only .140 over his last 57 at-bats heading into the team's NLDS battle against the Braves. Most remember Fowler's playoff heroics for the Cubs back in 2016 but this is a different player at a different stage in his career. Fowler did manage to post a .346 […]

Tommy Edman Aims To Stay Hot In October

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman finished his surprisingly successful season with a bang, slashing .410/.486/.738 over his last 61 at-bats. Edman's fantastic play has forced the Cardinals coaching staff to find a spot in the lineup for him on a daily basis and the 24-year-old is ready to play a role in the playoffs. […]

Paul DeJong Brings The Power In Road Games

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong will try and shake loose from a sluggish second half of his season when the team opens up their playoff hunt against the Braves on Thursday. DeJong hit only .202 after the All-Star break and is hitting only .145 over his last 55 at-bats. DeJong, however, could surprise in […]

Harrison Bader Not Fantasy Viable For First Round

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader plays excellent defense in center field but has failed to become a threat offensively this season. Bader enjoyed a fantastic month of August, slashing .313/.450/.531 with seven extra-base hits. But his production plummeted in September, hitting only .191 while striking out 39 times over 94 at-bats. Bader will see […]

Matt Carpenter Hopes To Shine When It Counts

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter will try and put a disappointing regular season behind him when the team travels to Atlanta to take on the Braves in the NLDS. The veteran slugger simply never could get his season off the ground, posting his lowest slugging percentage (.392) since 2014. Carpenter started off slow last […]

Dansby Swanson Hitting .300 Over His Last Seven Games

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is 9-for-30 (.300) over his last seven games played heading into the team's first-round playoff matchup against the Dodgers. Swanson posted only a .748 OPS this season but has made significant strides offensively. He still is far off from the potential that was predicted when he was a highly-touted prospect, […]

Tyler Flowers Heading Into October Cold At The Plate

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers will head into the NLDS slugging only .383 over his last 35 games. Flowers will work as a tandem with veteran Brian McCann throughout the postseason and, despite his leadership, has struggled offensively again this season. Flowers has shown better at home (.460 slugging) than on the road this season […]
