Lorenzo Cain Homers Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Athletics, giving him a total of eight homers on the year. It's been a bad year for Cain, in fact, his worst year since 2013. Cain was never a big source of power, but after batting .308 with […]

Josh Hader Picks Up His 24th Save

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader gave up one hit and strangely didn't strike anyone out in his one inning of work Wednesday night against the Athletics. The Brewers made some smaller moves at the trade deadline, but didn't acquire any high level bullpen arms that would cause concern for Hader's closer role. With an elite […]

Jordan Lyles Wins In Milwaukee Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles gave up one run on three hits and two walks through five innings in a win over the Athletics in his Milwaukee debut. It wasn't quite a quality start, but good enough for the win and potentially good enough for fantasy owners to consider picking Lyles up, but I […]

Rangers To Cut Asdrubal Cabrera

The Texas Rangers plan to designate infielder Asdrubal Cabrera and catcher Tim Federowicz for assignment on Friday. The 33-year-old switch-hitting Cabrera is slashing just .235/.318/.393 with 12 home runs, 45 runs, 51 RBI and four stolen bases in 93 games for Texas this year, while Federowicz has a putrid .169/.224/.366 slash line with four homers and […]

Robel Garcia Optioned

The Chicago Cubs have sent infielder Robel Garcia to Triple-A Iowa. Garcia had a nice start to his big league career, but has struggled at the plate lately. Garcia will likely get another shot with the Cubs this season, but won’t hold much fantasy value. Newly acquired outfielder Nicholas Castellanos will take the roster spot […]

Todd Frazier's Big Hit Gives Mets Sixth Straight Win

The New York Mets are the hottest team in baseball after defeating the Chicago White Sox 4-2 Wednesday night for their sixth consecutive win. A deadlock through the eighth, the road team broke through in the ninth after Todd Frazier, serving as DH on the night, recorded a go-ahead single against his former club. Michael […]

Alex Colome Picks Up The Loss On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox closer Alex Colome picked up the loss on Wednesday versus the New York Mets. Colome’s inning started with an error by shortstop Tim Anderson and things unraveled from there. Colome finished with a line of three hits, three run (zero earned), one walk and two strikeouts. Colome should remain owned in all […]

Edwin Diaz Serves Up Home Run But Records Save

The night after blowing his fifth save of the season, New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz returned to the mound in Chicago against the White Sox. With a three-run lead in place, he quickly retired the first two batters before surrendering his ninth home run of the season. The Mets weren't pulling any punches, quickly […]

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas pitched well on Wednesday but took a tough loss. He tossed 5 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and a walk along with just one unearned run. He struck out three but his record dropped to 7-11. His ERA went down to an even 4.00 and he'll look to […]

Ian Happ Drives In A Run

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ went 1-for-3 with an RBI and walk on Wednesday versus the Cardinals. Happ has started every game since being recalled this weekend and despite a .154 batting average, Happ has drawn six walks. Happ could lose playing time with the Cubs acquiring Nicholas Castellanos on Wednesday. Happ is only worth […]

Kyle Hendricks Excels Versus Cardinals

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks allowed seven hits, zero runs, zero walks and struck out seven Cardinals on Wednesday.

Christin Stewart Lands On Injured List

The Detroit Tigers placed outfielder Christin Stewart on the seven-day concussion injured list on Wednesday and called up outfielder Victor Reyes from the minors in a corresponding move. Stewart is hitting .239/.321/.393 with seven home runs, 27 runs and 33 RBI in 285 at-bats this year and is only useful in AL-only leagues. With him […]

Zach Plesac Gets a Win Despite an Unimpressive Wednesday Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac earned a win on Wednesday mostly thanks to his offense putting up 10 runs. He lasted just five innings, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks, striking out just three. Still, a win's a win, and Plesac improved his record to 6-3. He'll take a 3.41 ERA […]

Tim Beckham Suffers From Oblique Tightness Wednesday

Seattle Mariners infielder Tim Beckham (oblique) left the game early on Wednesday with oblique tightness. He's considered day-to-day and will be re-evaluated on Thursday.

Hector Neris Drops Suspension Appeal

Philadelphia Phillies closer Hector Neris has dropped the appeal of his three-game suspension for throwing at Dodgers infielder David Freese on July 16. He will begin serving the three-game suspension on Thursday, so be prepared to be without him until later this weekend. Adam Morgan and Juan Nicasio are the two candidate to potentially see […]

Jacob deGrom Strikes Out 11 In No-Decision

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom delivered another masterful start in Chicago against the White Sox. The defending Cy Young winner went seven strong, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out 11. Opposing him, however, was fellow All-Star pitcher Lucas Giolito, who matched him frame for frame. This puts a close to […]

Dustin May To Debut Friday Against Padres

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Trent Grisham will be in the team's starting lineup on Thursday, according to manager Craig Counsell.

Ryan Braun Should See More Time At First Base

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun should see more time at first base moving forward after the team dealt Jesus Aguilar to the Rays on Wednesday. It's unknown, however, how much time he'll see there alongside Eric Thames and Travis Shaw, and it'll depend on how he performs at the position and how well outfield prospect […]

Felix Hernandez To Make Rehab Start Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (shoulder) will make a rehab start on Friday for Short-Season Everett. King Felix hasn't pitched in a major league game since May 11 and was sporting a hideous 6.52 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings over his eight starts before injury. He's a long shot […]

Daniel Poncedeleon Optioned Back To Minors

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday to make room for pitcher Adalberto Mejia on the active roster.

David Robertson Out For The Year

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson (elbow) will officially miss the rest of the season and is expected to need surgery to fix the flexor tendon in his right elbow.

Trent Grisham Expected To Be Called Up Soon

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Trent Grisham is expected to be called up soon, according to sources.

Dominic Smith To Be In Boot For Three Weeks

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith (foot) will be in a walking boot for three weeks and will then be re-evaluated.

A's Put Josh Phegley On Injured List

The Oakland Athletics placed catcher Josh Phegley (thumb) on the injured list on Wednesday with a left thumb contusion and recalled catcher Beau Taylor from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.
