Zach Davies Lowers ERA To 1.38

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies allowed one unearned run on three hits and three walks and struck out two over 5 1/3 innings in Monday's win against the Rockies. Davies has been a confusing pitcher so far this season. He has had one great start where we went seven innings and gave up one […]

Patrick Corbin Rocked by Cardinals

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin had his worst start of the season in Monday's 6-3 home loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Corbin threw four scoreless innings to start the game but then had a horrendous fifth inning, when he allowed all six runs, and exited the game thereafter. Corbin walked four and struck […]

Erick Fedde Could Move to Nats Bullpen

Washington Nationals pitcher Erick Fedde was called up for an emergency appearance on Sunday and was fantastic out of the bullpen. Fedde was once a top prospect not too long ago, but hasn't experienced much success in the MLB. He's scheduled to start for Double-A on Friday, but the Nationals may want to convert him […]

Derek Holland Lands on Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Derek Holland (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Holland suffered a left index finger bone bruise in spring training and has been lingering ever since then. Tyler Beede is expected to take Holland's turn in the rotation against the Reds on Friday. Beede has been fantastic in […]

A.J. Pollock is Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Pollock has been cold to start the season, so the Dodgers will elect to go with the hot bat here. Alex Verdugo will play center field and bat seventh versus righty Jeff Samardzija. Verdugo […]

Lucas Giolito Throws Bullpen Session on Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) was able to throw a bullpen session on Monday. Giolito has been sidelined almost two weeks after he tweaked his hamstring. However, Giolito could avoid going on a rehab assignment if he comes away from this bullpen session without any issues.

Luke Gregerson Likely to Be Activated on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (shoulder) has joined the team on Monday and could be activated on Tuesday. Gregerson was pitching elite during his rehab appearances, so it sounds like he's ready to return to the Red Birds bullpen. Gregerson won't have a bunch of fantasy value, but could be helpful if he's […]

Christian Yelich Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Yelich exited early on Sunday after tweaking his back while running the bases. The good news is, Yelich is considered day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the 10-day injured list. Ben Gamel will cover right field […]

Nelson Cruz Gets Night Off

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. The veteran slugger is getting the night off, but should be back on Tuesday. Eddie Rosario will bat third and serve as the designated hitter against righty Justin Verlander. Rosario is in a great spot […]

Wil Myers Resting on Monday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It appears the Padres are just giving Myers a normal day off. Hunter Renfroe will bat fifth and play left field versus righty Mike Soroka. DFS players can avoid most of the Padres hitters because […]

Robinson Cano is Not Playing on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Cano was hit in the wrist by a pitch on Sunday, so it's not surprising to see him sitting out here. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Cano should only miss a few […]

Mitch Moreland is Out on Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Moreland, so he should be back in the lineup soon. Michael Chavis will cover first base and bat sixth against righty Frankie Montas. Chavis […]

Dexter Fowler is Sitting Out on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The Cardinals have too many outfielders and not enough spots, so someone has to sit out. Harrison Bader will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Bader won't have much fantasy upside […]

Anthony Rendon MRI Shows Contusion

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon had an MRI, manager Davey Martinez announced on Monday, which came back as showing a contusion on his left elbow, confirming the earlier diagnosis on an injury that goes back to April 20th. Rendon continues to avoid the injured list but is once again missing from the lineup for […]

Kole Calhoun Has Three Home Runs In Last Five Games

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is beginning to hit the ball with more authority, posting four extra-base hits over his last five games. Three of those hits have left the yard as Calhoun tries to make up for lost time after a dismal start to his season. The Angels have deployed Calhoun in the […]

David Fletcher's Fantasy Arrow Pointing Up

Los Angeles Angels third baseman David Fletcher picked up a pinch-hit single in the team's 7-3 win over the Royals on Sunday. Fletcher has been one of the biggest, most pleasant surprises for the Angels in the first month of the season and is earning more at-bats by the day. Fletcher has a hit in […]

Mike Trout Beginning To Snap Out Of Slump

Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with two runs scored against the Royals on Sunday. Trout has not been himself at the plate since returning from a groin injury but is 5-for-16 (.312) over his last four games heading into this week. A lot is expected of Trout from a fantasy perspective but, thus […]

Justin Bour Ready To Put April Behind Him

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Justin Bour hit his third home run of the season in the Angels 7-3 win over the Royals on Sunday. It has been a miserable start to his Angels career, slashing .179/.272/.333 through 78 at-bats to begin the season. Bour is only two seasons removed from driving in 83 runs […]

Andrelton Simmons Now Has Hits In Last Six Games

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons continues to have a resurgent finish to the month of April and now has a six-game hit streak heading into an off-day on Monday. Simmons is slashing .333/.353/.545 over his last 66 at-bats and is hitting .375 during his hitting streak. The 29-year-old enjoyed a career season in 2018 […]

Matt Harvey Has Best Outing Of Season

Los Angeles Angels starter Matt Harvey tossed seven innings of two-hit, one-run baseball as the Angels beat the Royals 7-3. Harvey struck out five hitters in, by far, his best performance in an Angels uniform. The outing lowered his ERA to only 6.54 but much more is expected of the veteran right-hander moving forward. He […]

Alex Bregman Has One Hit In Last 13 At-Bats

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has only one hit over his last four games spanning 13 at-bats heading into the week. This is merely a small bump in the road of a long season and has only one extra-base hit over his last seven games. Fantasy owners just need to ride out the mini-slump […]

Justin Verlander Goes For Fifth Win Monday Night

Houston Astros starter Justin Verlander will try and win his fifth game of the season when the team opens up a series against the Twins Monday night. Verlander (4-0) is off to another stellar start to his season, striking out 46 hitters through his first 38 innings with a 2.61 ERA. Verlander was absolutely dominant […]

Jose Altuve Mired In Slump

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has only three hits over his last 24 at-bats (.125) as the team begins a series with the Twins Monday night. In fact, ever since Altuve homered in five straight games in early April, he is only 7-for-45 (.155) with only two home runs. Altuve is far too talented […]

Robinson Chirinos Off To Great Start

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos smacked a three-run home run to pace the Astros to a 4-1 win on Sunday against the Indians. The veteran back-stop is off to a great start this season and is slashing .326/.411/.630 over his last 46 at-bats. Chirinos is a career .235 hitter but is taking advantage of his […]

Yuli Gurriel Scuffling At The Plate

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Astros 4-1 win over the Indians on Sunday. Gurriel is in the midst of an awful 3-for-28 slump at the plate right now and is slugging only .390 through his first 100 at-bats this season. The hope is his ninth double of […]

Brad Peacock Gets Back On Track Against Indians

Houston Astros starter Brad Peacock allowed only one run on four hits while striking out seven against the Indians on Saturday. Peacock has been mediocre out of the gate to begin the season but it was nice to see his swing-and-miss stuff back on display against Cleveland. When given the chance to start, Peacock can […]

Carlos Correa Slugging .679 Over Last Seven Games

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa smacked his sixth home run of the season as the Astros beat the Indians 4-3 in 10 innings on Saturday. Correa unlocked a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning with the blast and is wrapping up a solid first month of the season. Fantasy owners came into the season with […]

Closer Situation Murky In Tampa

The Tampa Bay Rays closer situation has been a tough one to predict lately. Reliever Jose Alvarado had been excellent to start the year and looked like he would keep the ninth-inning duties, but three saves from Emilio Pagan in the last week have brought up questions. On Sunday, Alvarado was called on in the eighth […]

Tyler Glasnow Continues to Dominate

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow threw a gem on Sunday against the Red Sox. He finished the day after 102 pitches with nine strikeouts, one walk, six hits and two earned runs over 6 2/3 innings. He got into a bit of trouble in his last frame and was pulled before reaching seven […]

Nate Lowe Being Called Up To Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays are calling up first baseman Nate Lowe on Monday to join the team in Kansas City. In 90 plate appearances this year for Triple-A Durham, Lowe slashed .300/.444/.543 with three home runs, 16 runs, 14 RBI and one stolen base. He also won minor league player of the year in 2018, […]
