Wade Miley Has Five Wins In Last Eight Starts

Houston Astros starter Wade Miley won for the fifth time in his last eight starts by shutting down the Orioles on Sunday in the Astros 4-0 win. Miley (6-3) twirled six shutout innings, striking out five hitters and lowered his ERA to 3.14 on the season. Miley has solidified the middle of the rotation for […]

Alex Dickerson Traded To Giants

The San Diego Padres traded outfielder Alex Dickerson to the San Francisco Giants for right-handed pitcher Franklin Van Gurp on Monday. The 29-year-old Dickerson had shuttled between Triple-A and the majors this season and was batting .158 in 19 plate appearances for the Padres. With a crowded outfield in San Diego, Dickerson’s path to playing […]

Wil Myers Can't Find His Groove

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers concluded an awful weekend series against the Washington Nationals, going hitless in 11 at-bats with two walks and five strikeouts. Through 227 plate appearances, Myers is registering career-worsts in average (.221) and strikeouts (37 percent). The notoriously streaky 28-year-old has endured more lows than highs in 2019 with 11 […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Shines In Return

After missing over a month with a hamstring injury, San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. enjoyed a brilliant return to the lineup. Starting three of four games over the weekend against the Washington Nationals, Tatis finished 5-for-11 with a homer, steal and three runs scored. Supplying a noticeable spark to the scuffling Friars offense, […]

Jason Vargas Faces Tough Test Monday

New York Mets left-hander Jason Vargas will look to stay hot on Monday when he faces the New York Yankees on the road. Vargas has been rolling his last few starts and is coming off a complete-game shutout of the San Francisco Giants last week. The Yankees, however, will present a much bigger challenge in […]

Jorge Soler Drills 17th Homer

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler continues to provide souvenirs to the KC fans. Soler blasted a shot out to left-center in the fourth inning of Sunday's loss, giving him 17 home runs on the season. Soler's always been described as having massive power, but this is his first full season to get to show […]

Ketel Marte Homers on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 1-for-5 with a home run on Sunday in his team's win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The homer helped spark an eight-run inning for the D-backs and it was Marte's 15th of the season. The young outfielder has been a huge spark plug for the Arizona offense near the […]

Glenn Sparkman Takes Hard-Luck Loss

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman did his part on Sunday, holding the White Sox to just one earned run (two total runs) over 6 1/3 innings of work, but he was credited with the loss due to the poor performance of his offense and bullpen. Sparkman only struck out two during the outing, […]

Anthony Rendon Blasts Another Home Run Sunday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon left the yard again on Sunday in a win over the San Diego Padres. Rendon went 1-for-4 with a solo shot and two RBI. The homer was the third baseman's 12th of the season. At this stage, Rendon is as consistent as any position player in all of fantasy. […]

Noah Syndergaard Dominates on Sunday

New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard blew past the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon. Syndergaard tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit to go along with seven strikeouts. This was the vintage type of performance that fantasy owners have been expecting from the Mets ace all season. The victory improved his record to 4-4 […]

Nicky Lopez Pulling Out Of Slump

Kansas City Royals rookie second baseman Nicky Lopez singled in Sunday's game against the White Sox to continue to pull himself out of a prolonged slump. The 24-year-old is only hitting .213 since his call-up in mid-May, but a big chunk of that was a 4-for-43 stretch that extended until this weekend. Since Friday, Lopez […]

Marcus Walden Caps Off Rough Week

Boston Red Sox reliever Marcus Walden recorded just one out in four batters faced in the seventh inning of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. Walden served up two solo home runs and a single before being replaced by Colten Brewer. Over the past week, Walden has thrown four complete innings, allowing three earned runs, all […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Takes Loss To Tampa Bay

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez lasted just 5 2/3 innings, surrendering four runs, on seven hits, while striking out seven, and walking two in a 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay Sunday. The southpaw allowed a pair of solo home runs during the outing, increasing his season total to 10 allowed in 13 starts. […]

Transient No More, Kimbrel Lands on the North Side

Our long national nightmare is over. Craig Kimbrel is no longer a closer without a home, as the Chicago Cubs signed him earlier this week to a three-year deal worth $43 Million, with a club option in 2022. With the MLB draft concluding, Kimbrel finally became an unrestricted free-agent - no longer tied to the […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna hit three singles on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a run scored. Ozuna looks like he's getting hot, and as a streaky hitter throughout his career, this could be the beginning of a run for the outfielder. He'll start his next game with a .259/.329/.530 slash line.
