Christian Yelich Scores Twice Friday Versus Pittsburgh

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich would provide early offensive support Friday versus the Pirates.

He would also score the second Brewers run, which was the beginning of a seven-run sixth inning. As of […]

Mike Moustakas With Homer Versus The Pirates

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas supplied some power Friday versus Pittsburgh. Moustakas would supply a two-run homer that extended the lead from 4-3 to 6-3 which gave the bullpen some breathing room. The HR was his seventh with the Brewers and 27th of the season. Moustakas occasionally gets the day off when the manager […]

Travis Shaw Homers In Comeback Win Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw provided some power while reaching a milestone Friday versus Pittsburgh.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham continued a torrid hot streak Friday versus the Blue Jays. For the third straight game, he drove in two runs.

Austin Meadows With Big Game Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows showed the potential that had people raving about him Friday versus Toronto. He came in as a pinch-hitter and would go 3-for-3 with two runs scored and three driven in. Meadows would even steal his first base with the Rays. Meadows was a key piece in the trade that […]

Billy Hamilton Goes Hitless Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Marlins. The speedy 28-year-old has been a disappointment all season, hitting .234 with 32 steals out of 42 opportunities. Hamilton has been fantasy relevant the past three seasons because of his steal prowess; he averaged 58 stolen bases with […]

Luis Castillo Tosses Gem Friday But Takes No-Decision

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo turned in another great start in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Marlins. Castillo pitched 8 1/3 innings, allowing no runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts. Unfortunately, his offense could not back him up for a win opportunity. The 25-year-old has had a much better second […]

Francisco Cervelli Leaves With Stomach Pain

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (stomach) left the game early on Friday with gastrointestinal discomfort. Cervelli had a hit and run scored in two plate appearances before leaving. The backstop has missed time with concussions this year, so thankfully this is something that should have him back in the lineup soon. Cervelli is batting .256/.376/.419 […]

Cramping Ends Kolten Wong's Night Early

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong left the game early on Friday due to cramping. Wong had two singles and two RBI in three plate appearances before departing.

Austin Voth To Start Saturday, Tanner Roark To Go Wednesday

Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth will make the start on Saturday against the Mets instead of starter Tanner Roark, according to manager Dave Martinez. Roark has been on paternity leave all week, so they don't want to rush him back. He is likely to make his next start on Wednesday against the Marlins. Voth has […]

Ji-Man Choi Injured Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (knee) left the game early on Friday with left knee soreness. Choi was productive before leaving, posting two hits (one double) and two runs scored in three plate appearances. The left-handed slugger is a part-time player for Tampa and is hitting .267/.350/.513 with 10 home runs and 32 […]

Trevor Story Could Be Back In 2-3 More Days

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) remained out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Diamondbacks, but the good news is that manager Bud Black said the superstar might only be out two or three more games. The All-Star shortstop missed two games in Los Angeles after hurting his right elbow while diving and […]

Logan Forsythe Dealing With Knee Issue

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe (knee) was out of the starting lineup on Friday after he woke up and his left knee "was not functioning correctly," according to manager Paul Molitor. It doesn't sound particularly encouraging, but we'll have to wait and see how much time he might miss. Forsythe did very little with […]

Eddie Rosario Unlikely To Play Again This Year

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps), whose MRI exam showed inflammation, is "fairly unlikely" to play again this season, according to manager Paul Molitor. Rosario limped to the finish line but had a great season overall, hitting .288/.323/.479 with 24 home runs, 77 RBI, 87 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 138 games. You […]

Jose Peraza Was Scratched Friday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday due to illness. Dilson Herrera hit second, while Blake Trahan filled in at shortstop and hit eighth. Peraza has been great for fantasy owners this year, hitting .290/.328/.419 with 13 home runs, 56 RBI, 84 runs scored and 23 stolen bases. […]

Eugenio Suarez Picks Up One Hit Friday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-4 with a single in his team's 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday. Suarez has been slumping at the plate lately as that goes down as just his third hit in his past seven contests. Overall, it has been a fantastic season for Suarez, who is […]

Jacob deGrom Posts Another Great Outing

New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom had another great outing on Friday against the Washington Nationals. DeGrom went seven innings, allowing just one run on three hits to go along with eight strikeouts. The ace lowered his ERA to 1.77 and should easily finish the year with a sub-2.00 ERA. He remains one of the […]

Cody Bellinger is Sitting Out on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Bellinger will join teammates Max Muncy and Joc Pederson on the bench for this one. David Freese will play first base and bat cleanup versus lefty Eric Lauer. Freese should be a decent […]

Miguel Sano Will Miss Weekend Series

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (leg) will sit out the entire weekend series versus the Oakland Athletics. Sano has returned to Minnesota to undergo more testing on his left leg. There is a good chance that Sano has already played his last game of the season. It sounds safe for fantasy owners to go […]

Ryan LaMarre Picks Up Three Hits

Chicago White Sox outfielder Ryan LaMarre went 3-for-3 with three RBI on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs. Despite the strong effort from LaMarre, he doesn’t get enough playing time to be worthy of a pickup in any format. LaMarre is now hitting .286 with two home runs, 18 RBI and two stolen bases over 161 […]

Kevan Smith Drives In Three Runs

Chicago White Sox catcher/designated hitter Kevan Smith drove in three runs on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs. Smith finished the game 2-for-2 with a pair of runs scored. Smith doesn’t get enough at-bats to make an impact in fantasy leagues, but is now hitting .297 with 19 RBI.

Welington Castillo Picks Up Three Hits Versus Cubs

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo picked up three hits on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs in five at-bats. Castillo had a nice day versus his former club and also scored a pair of runs. Castillo is now hitting .255 on the season with six home runs and 15 RBI.

Yoan Moncada Remains Hot

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada went 3-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs. Moncada has really been hitting the ball lately and it comes at a good time for fantasy owners. Moncada is now hitting .235 with 17 home runs, 61 RBI and 11 stolen bases.

Daniel Murphy Goes Yard Versus White Sox

Chicago Cubs second baseman Daniel Murphy hit his first career leadoff home run on Friday versus the Chicago White Sox. Murphy finished the game 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a RBI. Murphy has now hit safely in four of his last six games and appears to be back on track after a mini slump.

Daniel Palka Hits 27th Home Run

Chicago White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka hit a pinch-hit home run on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs. The slugger has been a nice source of power for the rebuilding White Sox and now has 27 home runs to go along with 64 RBI and a .242 batting average. Palka remains a cheap power source in […]
