Kyle Seager Should Return Saturday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (hand) went 2-for-4 with a walk and three RBI for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday and is hitting .281 on his rehab assignment. He should come off the injured list on Saturday and make his season debut. It's actually perfect timing for the M's, as Ryon Healy just landed on […]

Yadier Molina is Out of the Lineup on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Molina will sit against Royals right-hander Brad Keller in the first game of today's double header, as Matt Wieters will start at catcher and bat eight. The 36-year-old remains one of the quality backstops in fantasy […]

Joey Gallo is Out of the Lineup on Wednesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Gallo will sit against Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales, as Danny Santana will play center field and bat second. The 25-year-old is off to a monster start at the plate in 2019 and should be started in all […]

Christian Yelich Out Again on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 27-year-old was scratched yesterday with back spasms and wasn't expected to be in the lineup for today's matinee after a quick turnaround. Yelich is considered day-to-day and it should not be too long until the reigning […]

Eric Hosmer Pops Game-Clinching Homer

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer went 1-for-3 on Tuesday, cranking his seventh home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Hosmer’s two-run blast capped off a sixth inning comeback rally the Padres needed to secure the victory. After troughing with a .516 OPS in mid-April, Hosmer has methodically raised his batting profile to a current […]

Kirby Yates Extends Saves Lead

San Diego Padres closer Kirby Yates struck out the side to collect his 19th save Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yates made short work of the Snakes, fanning the side in order to extend his major league leading saves tally. The 32-year-old veteran holds a 1.17 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 23 appearances with a […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 8

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Miguel Cabrera Is Hot At The Dish Despite Lack Of Power

Detroit Tigers first baseman and designated hitter Miguel Cabrera has been hot for the last week, slashing .438/.500/.563 with two doubles and three RBI in 16 at-bats. Miggy has just one home run on the season, which he has attributed to lack of lineup protection, but despite his lack of power he's still finding ways […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Homers In Second Consecutive Game

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. finished 2-for-4 on Tuesday, including an eighth-inning, solo home run, his second in as many days. His first four-bagger didn't come until May 20, but in just the following day he has two on the year. There is definitely some power potential in Bradley's bat, after hitting 13, […]

Jordy Mercer Expected To Begin Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jordy Mercer (quad) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday or Thursday, according to the team's injury update on May 21st. Mercer did running drills on Tuesday, and apparently felt comfortable enough that he's ready for game action. The glove-first shortstop has been a liability at the plate, batting just .210/.265/.371 […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Gets Shelled Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was able to last just five innings after allowing six runs, on six hits, while fanning five, and walking three in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to Toronto. It was relatively smooth sailing for Rodriguez, through the first three innings, allowing just one hit, and one walk. Along came the […]

Raisel Iglesias Picks Up 10th Save

Cincinnati Reds closer Raisel Iglesias pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday to preserve a 3-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Iglesias worked around one hit to pick up his 10th save in 12 chances. The fireballer got off to a rough start this season but has turned it around of late, having allowed just […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 8 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 20th (unless otherwise noted). It's that time of year when in-season trends become apparent and full-season numbers may not tell the best story. (They may be most accurate, but they may not tell the best story.) Fortunately, the […]

Sonny Gray Wins First Game Of The Season

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray pitched well in his Thursday start against the Milwaukee Brewers. Gray spun six shutout innings, striking out nine and walking four. He picked up his first win of the season in the contest, improving his record to 1-4 with a 3.78 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts in 50 innings […]

Michael Pineda Picks Up Fourth Win

Minnesota Twins right-hander Michael Pineda turned in a quality start against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Pineda allowed three runs in six innings of work, striking out three and walking two. He improved his record to 4-4 with a 5.43 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 44 strikeouts in 53 innings of work. Pineda has struggled […]

Marwin Gonzalez Stays Hots

Minnesota Twins utility man Marwin Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, two runs, and three RBI in an 8-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Gonzalez has been red-hot at the plate lately, hitting .367 with three homers, 13 runs, and nine RBI over his past 15 games. His hot hitting […]

Hot Prospects To Watch - Alvarez, Tucker, Gallen, White And More

Unlike last week, we haven't had the pleasure of seeing several high-profile prospects called up to make their big league debuts. At least not yet... Who else on the farm might be worth stashing in deeper fantasy formats in hopes that they'll be called up this year? Let's take a look at some hot prospects […]

Kevan Smith In Concussion Protocol

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels catcher Kevan Smith (head) is in the concussion protocol after leaving the game early on Tuesday with a foul tip to his mask, according to manager Brad Ausmus. There's a chance he'll need to go on the seven-day concussion injured list as a result. The 30-year-old is hitting […]

Gio Gonzalez Takes Loss Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez gave up three runs on three hits and three walks over five innings in Tuesday's loss to the Reds. Gonzalez pitched decent enough to win, but the Brewers failed to score a run and thus, he took the loss. Though he has yet to post a quality start, Gonzalez […]

Hanser Alberto Picks Up Two Hits, RBI Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto continued to be productive at the plate in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Yankees, going 2-for-3 with two singles and an RBI. The 26-year-old has been solid at the plate for the O's this season, hitting .297 with three home runs, 12 RBI, and two stolen bases in 123 […]

David Hess Gets Knocked Around In Tuesday's Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher David Hess turned in an ugly outing in Tuesday's 11-4 blowout to the Yankees. Hess pitched five innings, allowing nine earned runs on eight hits (including three home runs) and four walks with five strikeouts. The 25-year-old started the season strong but has gone downhill since and now owns a bloated […]

Steve Wilkerson Lines Three-Run Home Run Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/outfielder Steve Wilkerson provided most of his team's runs with one swing in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Yankees, going 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts. Wilkerson lined a fifth-inning Domingo German fastball over the right-field wall for his fifth HR of the season. Wilkerson has been productive at […]

David Peralta Day-To-Day With Shoulder Soreness

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) was removed from the game early on Tuesday with right shoulder soreness. He is listed as day-to-day. Peralta struck out in both his plate appearances but is still hitting a nice .309/.357/.524 with seven home runs and 30 RBI on the season. This injury could […]
