Max Scherzer Struggles At Marlins Park

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer took the loss on Saturday in a 9-3 defeat at the hands of the Miami Marlins. Scherzer was pulled with one out in the sixth inning, allowing seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits. He allowed a Curtis Granderson solo shot but had no walks with nine strikeouts. A […]

Taylor Rogers, Not Blake Parker, Gets The Save Saturday

Minnesota Twins left-hander Taylor Rogers picked up his second save of the season on Saturday, preserving a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of a doubleheader. Rogers went two innings, allowing one run and striking out five. It comes as a mild surprise as the team had been using veteran right-hander […]

Jose Berrios Allows Three Homers In Win

Minnesota Twins right-hander Jose Berrios wasn't at his best but he managed to improve his record to 3-1 in a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. Berrios allowed four runs in six innings while striking out five and allowing three homers. While it wasn't an exceptional start, Berrios pitched well enough to get […]

Eddie Rosario Doubles, Homers Twice In Win

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario went 3-for-5 with a double and two solo homers in a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of their Saturday doubleheader. Rosario took advantage of a Baltimore pitching staff that came into Saturday's action allowing the most homers per nine innings in all of baseball. Rosario […]

Willians Astudillo Goes Deep

Minnesota Twins first baseman/catcher Willians Astudillo went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday. Astudillo has been excellent in limited playing time this season, putting up a .308 average, two homers, nine runs, and five RBI in 39 at-bats. The […]

Joey Votto Dealing With Back Tightness

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is dealing with back tightness, which is why he wasn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Votto, who is off to a mediocre start, is reportedly available to pinch-hit in the game. That suggests the back issue isn't major and his absence is just […]

Max Moroff Hits a Home Run on Saturday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Max Moroff hit a home run on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI in Game 1 of a double header. Moroff is a career .179/.269/.304 hitter so this was probably one of the best games of his career. With Francisco Lindor back from the injured list, Moroff won't […]

Carlos Santana Has Another Three-Hit Game on Saturday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana recorded three hits on Saturday, finishing 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI. All three of Santana's hits were singles, raising his impressive slash line to .407/.521/.542. He's started the season off hot and while he'll cool down eventually, he's shown that he can be trusted in most […]

Corey Kluber Lasts Seven Innings in Saturday's Win

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber earned a win in Game 1 of Saturday's double header, tossing seven innings. He allowed four runs on five hits and two walks, striking out eight. Kluber allowed individual runs in the first and third innings, then a pair of runs in the seventh. Despite not earning the quality […]

Yadier Molina Has a Two-Hit Game on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina had a two-hit game on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI. Both of his hits were singles as he raised his slash line to .243/.269/.365. After a slow start, Molina is hitting like himself again and is worth putting back into lineups in deeper formats.

Jose Martinez Drives in Three Runs on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez drove in three runs on Saturday, going 3-for-5 with a run scored as well. Martinez has done well when given playing time, slashing .333/.333/.458 in 48 at bats. He's worth starting in most fantasy formats whenever he's in the Cardinals starting lineup, but he might not get as […]

Miles Mikolas Earns a Win With Eight Strong Innings on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas was excellent on Saturday, tossing eight innings while allowing just two runs on four hits and two walks. He struck out four, throwing an even 100 pitches, 73 for strikes. Mikolas threw six shutout innings before allowing the two runs in the seventh, but was then able to […]

Jean Segura Headed to Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The move is retroactive to Wednesday since Segura's last game was on Tuesday. Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the injured list as well, so the Phillies are thin at shortstop. Phil Gosselin will bat seventh and play shortstop against […]

Scott Kingery Lands on Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Kingery suffered a right hamstring strain during Friday's contest. Kingery had an MRI on Saturday, but the results have not been announced yet. He's likely going to miss a few weeks which is a big blow to fantasy owners since Kingery […]

Matt Shoemaker Exits Early on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker (knee) exits early during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Shoemaker needed help getting off the field after injuring his left knee during a rundown. He was off to a fantastic start, so this is frustrating news for fantasy owners. It's unclear if Shoemaker will miss any time, […]

Starling Marte Placed on Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (abdominal) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Marte crashed into shortstop Erik Gonzalez during Friday's game and suffered an abdominal contusion. Marte has struggled at the plate this season, so maybe some time off will help him. It's unclear how long Marte will be out, but this seems […]

Brock Holt Suffers Setback

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) has suffered a setback during his rehab assignment. Holt is suffering from a scratched cornea, but apparently his new contact lens are not effective. The Sox could really use Holt right now with the team banged up, but it appears they will have to wait a little longer.

Jordan Lyles Expected to Make Next Start

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hand) is expected to make his next start following a hand injury he suffered on Friday. Lyles was hit with a comebacker during Friday's contest, but it appears to be a minor contusion. He was able to play catch on Saturday and should be fine for his next start. […]

Aaron Judge Will Undergo MRI

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) will undergo an MRI after injuring himself on a swing during Saturday's game. Judge was pulled from Saturday's contest due to what's being called a left oblique injury. It would be surprising if Judge doesn't land on the injured list for a few weeks. Fantasy owners should stay […]

Brandon Morrow Getting Shut Down For The Foreseeable Future

Chicago Cubs reliever Brandon Morrow (elbow) was progressing well through his injury rehab and throwing off of a mound, but he suffered a setback and will now be shut down until further notice. The 34-year-old has had a history of injury troubles. Morrow was reliable when healthy last season, posting a 1.47 ERA and 22 […]

Joey Votto Gets The Day Off On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is getting a rest day on Saturday as his team faces the San Diego Padres. In his absence, Kyle Farmer will start at first base and bat seventh. Farmer is carrying a .111 average with two home runs and five RBI through 18 at-bats this season. He is an […]

Adam Frazier Remains Sidelined On Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier (back) will miss his second straight game during Saturday's contest against the San Francisco Giants. In his absence, Pablo Reyes will start at second base and bat seventh. Reyes has a .115 average and two RBI through 26 at-bats in 2019, which makes him a fantasy afterthought. Replace Frazier […]

Jacob Faria Recalled By Rays

Tampa Bay Rays reliever Jacob Faria was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Saturday afternoon. Faria sported an unsightly 5.40 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 65 innings with the Rays in 2018. The former top prospect will likely pitch out of the bullpen, although, it is possible that he gets some looks as an opener. At […]

Hanley Ramirez Designated for Assignment on Saturday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Hanley Ramirez has been designated for assignment on Saturday. Shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has activated from the 10-day injured list, so Ramirez was cut to clear up a roster spot. Ramirez saw 57 plate appearances in Cleveland, but managed just a .184/.298/.327, so it's tough to overlook that. He may bounce […]

Brandon Nimmo Back in the Lineup on Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be Nimmo's first game back in action since leaving Tuesday's contest due to a stiff neck. Nimmo will bat first and play center field versus right Miles Mikolas. DFS players should strongly […]

Jacob deGrom Plays Catch on Saturday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) was able to play catch on Saturday and is set for an MRI on Monday. It's a good sign that deGrom was able to play catch, so hopefully his elbow issue isn't too serious. He felt some pain in his elbow on Thursday and has been placed […]

Francisco Lindor Activated on Saturday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Lindor has been battling minor leg injuries, but seems good to go now. The team has designated Hanley Ramirez to clear a roster spot for Lindor. Fantasy owners should go ahead and adjust their lineups now.

Saturday's Game Between Detroit and Chicago Has Been Postponed

The rain continues to come down in Detroit, so Saturday's Tigers versus the Chicago White Sox game has been postponed. Reynaldo Lopez will make his scheduled start for the Sox on Sunday. It sounds like Ervin Santana who was scheduled to start for the White Sox will be skipped in the rotation. DFS players should […]

Gary Sanchez Will Play in Rehab Game on Monday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) has been making steady progress lately and will play in a rehab game on Monday. There is a chance that if everything goes right, that Sanchez could be activated on Wednesday. Sanchez has six home runs and 11 RBI in 11 games this season, so he looks to […]

Nathan Eovaldi Placed on Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Eovaldi had a 6.00 ERA through four starts this season, but maybe the elbow problem was what is holding him back. Left-handed pitcher Bobby Poyner has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Eovaldi on the active roster. It's unclear […]
