Hunter Pence's Injury Is Minor

Texas Rangers outfielder Hunter Pence (groin) said his injury is "very minor" and is hoping for a quick return from the injured list with a strained right groin. He's eligible to come off the injured list a week from this Thursday. The veteran outfielder has been excellent in a bounce-back season, hitting .294 with 15 […]

Mike Clevinger Expected To Be Ready For Next Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (ankle) had a discolored and swollen left ankle on Tuesday after he took a tumble off the mound on Monday in his first start back from the injured list since April 7. However, the team is cautiously optimistic that he'll make his next start on Saturday against the Tigers. […]

Gary Sanchez Stars As Yankees Sweep Tampa

CC Sabathia Picks Up 250th Career Victory

The New York Yankees swept Tampa Bay out of the Bronx Wednesday afternoon as veteran left-hander CC Sabathia recorded his 250th career victory.

Jon Gray Has Risky Matchup Wednesday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray will be one of the more volatile pitching options on Wednesday on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Besides being one of the better offenses in baseball, the D-backs have crushed Gray in the past three seasons to a 2-3 record with a 5.18 ERA. Arizona was stymied last night […]

Zack Greinke Has Good Matchup Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Greinke has one of the safest floors on Wednesday in a start against the Colorado Rockies. Greinke has been very effective against Colorado in the last three seasons, going 5-3 with a 3.84 ERA despite some of those starts being in the hitters paradise of Coors Field. Wednesday's start will be […]

Jay Bruce Back In Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (hamstring) is batting fifth and playing left field in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Washington. Bruce had missed four games including the first half of the twin bill Wednesday, but his bat in the lineup is a welcome sight as he's been very good after being traded. Since […]

Blake Snell Pulled In First Inning

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell was rocked by the Yankees on Wednesday, giving up six runs while only recording one out before being pulled from the game. This is now back-to-back bad starts for the reigning Cy Young award winner. Snell dug his own grave in this one by walking four batters which […]

Jesse Winker Has Three-Hit Day, Hits Walk-Off Single

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker had a nice afternoon for his team in a 3-2 win over the Houston Astros. Winker went 3-for-4 with an RBI in the win. He emerged as the hero of the day as his walk-off single gave Cincinnati the comeback win in the ninth inning. Winker is now hitting .251 […]

Trey Mancini Leaves Game Wednesday

Zach Eflin Pitches Well In Loss

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin gave up three runs (two earned) in six innings but was saddled with the loss Wednesday at the Nationals. Eflin struck out seven batters and walked three in his third straight quality start. Eflin is not quite as good as his 2.83 ERA, his FIP and xFIP are both […]

Patrick Corbin Gets Back On Track Against Phillies

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin pitched seven innings of one-run ball Wednesday afternoon in a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Corbin, who entered the game with an 11.37 ERA in his past three starts, allowed a solo home run to Scott Kingery in the first inning, but settled down from then on. Corbin […]

Juan Soto Has Big Day Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, an RBI, a walk, and a stolen base in Washington's 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of a doubleheader Wednesday. He is now hitting .294/.393/.502 on the year. The steal was Soto's fourth of the season (in four attempts) in 62 […]

Brian Dozier, Gerardo Parra Lead Charge Wednesday Afternoon

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier and outfielder Gerardo Parra drove in five of the team's six runs in a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader. Both had an RBI double, Parra in the fourth inning and Dozer in the seventh, before they hit back-to-back home runs […]

Roberto Osuna Blows Save Versus Reds

Houston Astros relief pitcher Roberto Osuna blew his third save of the season Wednesday in Cincinnati. Osuna hadn't pitched in seven days and the first pitch he threw was ripped for a double. Osuna almost pitched around it by striking out the next two batters before giving up back-to-back singles to Nick Senzel and Jesse […]

Adalberto Mondesi Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (groin) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners. Mondesi was injured in the first inning of last night's game and left the game a few innings later. The Royals said the exit from the game was precautionary and hopefully the league leader in stolen bases will avoid […]

Cavan Biggio (2B, TOR) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: The ownership of Toronto second baseman, Cavan Biggio may be at only 11% now but after Monday night's two-homer game, it's sure to continue it's ascent a bit more rapidly.

Paul Goldschmidt Sitting Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is not in the lineup Wednesday against starter Trevor Richards and the Marlins. Goldschmidt is in the midst of a 1-for-23 slump and is hitting a measly .179 in June so the star first baseman could probably use a night off. The good news for fantasy owners is Goldschmidt […]

Mitch Keller Sent Down To Triple-A

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller has been sent back to Triple-A following the reinstatement of starter Trevor Williams. Keller struggled through the first three starts of his big league career, allowing 14 earned runs through just 12 innings. His 10.50 ERA doesn't paint the entire picture, though, as the 23-year-old did have some bad […]

Aaron Judge Homers In Rehab Appearance

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) hit his first homer in four rehab games Tuesday night in Triple-A. Judge smacked an opposite-field line drive and looks just about ready to rejoin an absolutely lethal lineup that has been feasting on opposing pitchers lately, and in the unlikely event you missed it, they just added […]

Jordan Lyles Nearing Return

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hamstring) is nearing a return to the lineup after completing a four-inning simulated game Tuesday. Lyles did not experience any setbacks and could be in line to start as early as Sunday against the Padres, which would be a more than welcome sight to a depleted Pirates team. Lyles […]

Atlanta Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb was placed on the seven-day injured list on Wednesday. Newcomb was hit in the head by a line drive back on June 15 and while it was unclear for a while how much time he'd miss, the Braves will clearly be without him for at least a few days now. […]
