Sonny Gray Excellent In Monday Start

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray was excellent in a no-decision against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. Gray hurled six innings of one-run ball while striking out seven and walking two. The veteran right-hander's bounceback season with the Reds has been impressive after no one wanted him in fantasy heading into the season. Gray now has […]

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 17

As we enter the second half of the season you may have already found a dependable catcher that you roll with week-in and week-out, but as we know, backstops are the most volatile position in fantasy baseball.

Martin Perez Chased After Four Innings

Minnesota Twins left-hander Martin Perez struggled against the New York Yankees on Monday. Perez lasted just four innings, giving up five runs on seven hits while striking out four and walking four.

J.P. Crawford Busts Slump With Pair Of Hits

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 2-for-4 in Monday’s win over the Texas Rangers after struggling mightily at the plate recently. Coming into this contest, he was hitting an abysmal .102 in July with no homers and just three doubles and six RBI. The 24-year-old was showing some offensive prowess before this slump, but is […]

Seattle Mariners starter Marco Gonzales earned his 11th victory of the season Monday as the team bested the Texas Rangers 7-3.

Paul Goldschmidt Hits a 10th Inning Grand Slam on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit a grand slam in the 10th inning of Monday's game that proved to be just enough to deliver the Cardinals a 6-5 win. For the game, Goldschmidt ended up 1-for-4 with a walk, four RBI, and a run scored. He's been struggling lately, but this could be […]

Carlos Martinez Escapes With His Ninth Save on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez wasn't great on Monday, but he escaped his outing with his ninth save of the season. Martinez allowed a run on three hits, including a home run, but ended up wrapping up the game for a 6-5 Cardinals win in 10 innings. He's been a bit shaky of late, […]

Starling Marte Collects Three Hits Against Cardinals

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in the Pirates' 6-5 loss to the Cardinals on Monday. Marte has now collected a hit in five of his last six games. Although Marte has begun to hit the ball more often, he has not contributed the speed that he […]

Trevor Williams Bounces Back, Allows One Run In No Decision

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams (3-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks, while striking out seven over five solid innings on Monday night. It was a good rebound performance for Williams, who was knocked around for eight runs in his last outing. The start brought his ERA back under five. […]

Gary Sanchez's Slump Continues To Alarm

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went hitless in five plate appearances Monday night against the Minnesota Twins, striking out twice. It was the latest in a mounting number of disappointing performances for the All-Star. Across his last 30 games, Sanchez is batting just .193 and has connected on just one home run in the […]

Jung Ho Kang Hits 10th Home Run Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Pirates' 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Cardinals. Kang did not start the game but pinch hit for Colin Moran in the eighth. Kang's home run came in the 10th inning, closing the deficit to one run. Despite flashes of […]

CC Sabathia Gets Walloped in Minnesota

For only the second time in his lengthy career, New York Yankees veteran CC Sabathia served up four home runs in Monday night's defeat against the Twins.

Daniel Poncedeleon Lasts Just Three Innings on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon only lasted three innings on Monday, running his pitch count all the way up to 86 despite only getting nine outs. He allowed just one run on three hits, but he did walk four and struck out three. Poncedeleon has been hard to hit for the most part, […]

Jose Ramirez Does a Bit of Everything on Monday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez did a little bit of everything on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base. He's been a totally different hitter lately and looks more and more like the Jose Ramirez from last season. He still has a long road ahead of him […]

Oscar Mercado Hits a Triple and a Homer on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado got the two hardest parts of the cycle done on Monday, hitting a home run and a triple. He went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI, raising his slash line to .297/.350/.488. The triple was his second of the year and the home run was his eighth. He's […]

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger pitched seven strong innings on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks. He struck out seven while allowing two home runs, ending up with a win and a quality start. Clevinger had a rough start when he first came back from the injured list, but he's […]

Carl Edwards Jr. Optioned to Minors

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. has been optioned to the minors on Monday. He holds a 5.87 ERA through 20 appearances this season. He was roughed up on Sunday, so the Cubs decided to let him get some extra work in the minors. Roman Wick has been recalled to take his spot on […]

Nick Senzel Will Return on Monday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Senzel was sidelined a majority of last week due to lingering hamstring issues. He will bat leadoff and play center field versus righty Chase Anderson. Fantasy owners can feel safe about putting Senzel back in their […]

Trent Thornton Lands on Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trent Thornton (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Thornton has struggled over his last four starts, so right elbow inflammation could explain some of the problems. Ryan Borucki (elbow) has been activated off the injured list in a corresponding move. He'll make the start against the Cleveland […]

Ryan Borucki Activated, Starting Monday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ryan Borucki (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. He will make his season debut against the Cleveland Indians. Borucki missed the first three months of the season due to lingering elbow issues. He's been a reliable option in the past, so he could have some […]

Aledmys Diaz Activated on Monday

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Diaz missed two months of action due to a left hamstring strain. He was hitting well before the issue, but who knows if he'll continue that pace. Diaz will have some decent fantasy value until Carlos Correa returns later […]

Max Scherzer Throws Bullpen Session

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) threw a successful bullpen session on Monday. Afterwards, Scherzer said he felt good and is ready to return to the starting rotation. He should be back either Thursday or Friday, so fantasy owners should stay tuned for more information later in the week.

C.J. Cron Back on the Injured List

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (thumb) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. He just returned from the injured list about a week ago. He's dealing with right thumb inflammation that is more serious than the team first thought. Miguel Sano will cover first base and bat fifth versus lefty CC […]

Ryan Zimmerman Lands on Injured List Again

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Zimmerman is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. This is the same injury that sidelined him earlier in the season. Matt Adams is expected to fill in at first base while Zimmerman is sidelined. Adams is batting fifth […]
