James Paxton Serves Up Three Home Runs Wednesday

In their final game before heading to London for the weekend, the New York Yankees didn't get the desired performance out of starter James Paxton Wednesday afternoon.

Howie Kendrick Taking Breather Wednesday

The 35-year-old has proven to be valuable when he does get playing time this season, posting 39 runs, 12 home runs and 43 RBI with a .388 on-base percentage over 182 at-bats, which has been enough to hold value […]

Felipe Vazquez A Target in Trade Talks

It is being reported by Jon Morosi that the Los Angeles Dodgers have interest in Pittsburgh Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez. While he would be a huge help to the backend of the Dodgers bullpen, this move would come at a cost for Vazquez's fantasy value as he would be expected to be used in a […]

Yoan Moncada Exits Early On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada exited Wednesday’s contest in the top of the first inning. Moncada was hit in the knee by Chris Sale and stayed in the game initially.

Jake Lamb Batting Fifth In Return From IL

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jake Lamb (quadriceps) is playing first base and batting fifth in his return from the injured list on Wednesday. Christian Walker sits.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (ankle) is headed to the 10-day injured list with a high right ankle sprain.

Garcia doesn’t […]

Francisco Mejia The Designated Hitter Wednesday

San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia is their designated hitter Wednesday for the second game of a road series against the Baltimore Orioles. He is batting sixth.

Lamet has posted an ugly 6.16 […]

Francisco Mejia's Rising Fantasy Stock

San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia went 2-for-3 with a walk and solo home run in Tuesday’s victory against the Baltimore Orioles.

Of the three, Guerrero […]

Giancarlo Stanton Out Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the team's lineup Wednesday after hurting his knee Tuesday night. Results from a planned MRI are not yet known.

Dee Gordon Busts Slump With A Pair Of Hits

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a run scored in the team's 8-3 win over the Brewers. He's now had back-to-back multi-hit games as he's slowed down his offense considerably since returning from a wrist injury on June 11. The biggest concern is the fact that he has […]

Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier Toss Scoreless Frames

Boston Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes earned his 12th hold Tuesday after a scoreless seventh inning against the White Sox. Barnes struck out two and walked a batter.
