Pearce, the World Series MVP from […]

Jean Segura In The Lineup For Sunday's Game

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (head) is in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Miami Marlins after being hit in the helmet by a fastball on Saturday. He will bat second against Marlins' right-hander Pablo Lopez. It is relieving news for fantasy owners, as Segura had just returned from a hamstring injury that cost […]

Travis D'Arnaud DFA'd

The New York Mets announced Sunday morning that catcher Travis D'Arnaud has been designated for assignment, likely meaning he's played his last game in a Mets uniform. The 30-year-old has played each of his first seven seasons with the New York club, being the starting catcher on a NL Pennant-winning team in 2015. D'Arnaud has […]

Jorge Lopez Chased Early By Angels

Though he was spotted a seven-run lead, Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jorge Lopez struggled and was removed from the game before finishing the fourth inning on Saturday. Lopez's start fell apart in the fourth when he suddenly lost his touch and walked the bases loaded with one out after a lead off single. A […]

Kelvin Gutierrez Shows Off Defense In MLB Debut

Kansas City Royals rookie third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez is getting a taste of the majors as regular starter Hunter Dozier takes some time to let his back fully recover, and he put up quite a performance in the first game of his career. Gutierrez had made a name for himself in the minors with his […]

Joe Musgrove Loses Saturday Despite Quality Start

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Joe Musgrove (1-2) took the loss on Saturday night, giving up three runs on seven hits while striking out five over 6.2 innings. Musgrove was cruising through six innings but feel apart in the seventh, allowing four hits and all three runs before being pulled. The former Astro, who now has an […]

Hunter Dozier Hammers Two Triples

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier looks to be back at full strength after drilling a pair of triples in the first four-hit game of his career on Saturday against the Angels. Dozier was sidelined a little earlier in the week with back spasms, but he was right back on the horse this weekend […]

Nolan Arenado Doubles, Homers Again

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado liked his line so much on Friday night that he decided to try to recreate it on Saturday too. Following a 2-for-4 performance on Friday that included and double and a homer, Arenado repeated the feat by going 2-for-5 on Saturday with another double and another homer. Arenado's homer […]

David Dahl Starts Colorado Comeback

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl began the process of digging his team out of a three-run hole on Saturday when he led off the seventh inning with a triple. The extra-base hit would begin the push of the dominoes that led to starter Mike Foltynewicz being pulled from the game, and it was the catalyst […]

Trevor Story Continues To Hit, Stretches Streak To 15

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story pushed his hitting streak to 15 games on Saturday by launching a meatball to the second story of Atlanta's left-field seats in the ninth inning. Story's three-run shot put the icing on top of a late comeback win for the Rockies, and it was Story's second-straight game with a home […]

Charlie Blackmon Comes Up Big

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon was tasked with the critical job on Saturday. With the team trailing by one run, Blackmon approached the plate in the top of the ninth with the bases loaded and two outs. Atlanta's closer, AJ Minter, was laboring after just walking two straight hitters, but Blackmon was the one who […]

Daniel Murphy Hits First Homer Of 2019

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy drilled a solo shot in the fourth inning on Saturday to give him his first round-tripper of the season. Murphy began the year on the injured list with a thumb injury, but since returning earlier this week, he's hit well. Murphy's rolling into Sunday on the back of a […]

Tyler Anderson Should Be Avoided Sunday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson is poised to face off against the Atlanta Braves in Georgia on Sunday, but he shouldn't be seeing the light of day in any fantasy lineups yet. Anderson returned from a stint on the injured list last week with an ugly start against the Nationals, and he's yet to […]

Jon Gray Hit Hard In No-Decision

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray was fortunate to escape Saturday's game with a no-decision after his team's big bats came through in a ninth-inning comeback victory. Following three straight quality starts, Gray was matched up against a young and powerful Atlanta team that quickly went to work as Freddie Freeman deposited a first-inning pitch […]

James Pazos Traded To Rockies

The Colorado Rockies acquired relief pitcher James Pazos in exchange for minor league infielder Hunter Stovall on Friday. Pazos has spent the entirety of this season in the Philly minor leagues due to control issues, but if he can get them ironed out with Colorado's Triple-A pitching staff, he could get some big league time […]

Bryan Shaw Picks Up Late Win Over Braves

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Bryan Shaw was on the fortunate end of a blown save by the Braves on Saturday as Colorado posted a five-run ninth inning to win in a comeback. Shaw threw two flawless innings when the team was trailing by one run, and a big showing by the big bats landed him […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

"It's April" is a common response to many questions at this juncture of the season. This is the last week we can say that, of course, but patience remains a virtue even as we cross the calendar into May. That doesn't mean you can't tinker on the edges, which is precisely what this column is […]

Eric Thames Continues To Hit

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a walk in Saturday's win against the Mets. Thames is now batting .294 with a .981 OPS this season and seems to be taking the first base job from Jesus Aguilar. Thames is a very strong play in daily leagues while he is […]

Travis Shaw Goes Hitless Again

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 0-for-4 again on Saturday with a walk and two strikeouts. Shaw is now batting .194 and has 10 walks to 35 strikeouts. The strikeouts were a big problem in spring training and seemed to have followed him into the 2019 season. Shaw also doesn't have very good counting […]

Yasmani Grandal Steals Another Base Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win against the Mets. Grandal has now already tied his career high in stolen bases at three and it's still April. That being said, you shouldn't expect any steals from Grandal, but if he does steal five […]

Mike Moustakas Steals A Base Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run while recording his first steal in Saturday's win against the Mets. Moustakas has had back to back two hit games since returning from his injury so he looks to be healthy enough. The Brewers seem to have confidence in him as […]

Christian Yelich Homers And Steals A Base Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder and baseball God Christian Yelich went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win against the Mets. That is now 14 home runs for Yelich and six steals. Yelich has been an absolute monster this season and is an obvious front runner […]

Lorenzo Cain Collects Three More Hits Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 3-for-5 with two runs in Saturday's win against the Mets. After a three game stretch without a hit, Cain now has two multi-hit games in a row bringing his average back up to .284. The fact that Cain only has three steals and 10 extra base hits so far […]

Josh Hader Records Two Inning Save

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader recorded a perfect two inning save while striking out five batters in Saturday's win against the Mets. This was a great rebound for Hader as he had been bad in his previous three appearances. Also, Jeremy Jeffress allowed three base runners and a run to score without recording an out, […]

Jeremy Jeffress Doesn't Record An Out

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress came into the eighth inning with a three run lead and allowed two hits, a walk and a run before being pulled for Josh Hader without recording an out. This was the first time that Jeffress had given up a run this season and it was a bad time for […]

Brandon Woodruff Solid Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff gave up one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six in five innings during Saturday's win against the Mets. This was one of the better starts for Woodruff this season, however it was still not a quality start. Woodruff has yet to earn a quality […]
