Nate Pearson To Begin Rehab Assignment At Low-A This Week

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Nate Pearson (illness) will be sent out on a rehab assignment at Low-A Dunedin this week, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. The 25-year-old threw a bullpen session on Monday and it seems as if the session was completed without any hitches. Pearson came down with mononucleosis this spring and he […]

Hitter Advanced Metrics Risers and Fallers - xBA for Week 7

Last week, we dove into xwOBA (expected weighted on-base average) to see who is really maximizing their time at the plate. It's time we look at xBA (expected batting average) but with a twist. Some players are experiencing better batted-ball fortunes than others and it's bound to turn around at some point. Rather than examining […]

Are You For Real? Surprising Pitcher Starts from Week 7

Welcome back to "Are You For Real?", a weekly column where we take starting pitchers who had surprisingly good starts over the past week and put them under the microscope to determine whether they're legit or just smoke and mirrors. We're about a quarter of the way through the fantasy season, which means standings are […]

Kris Bryant To Be Reevaluated On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (back) was a late scratch from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to back soreness. After the game, Rockies manager Bud Black stated that Bryant's back flared up on him and added that the veteran would be reevaluated on Tuesday. Bryant is off to a […]

Hunter Renfroe Exits With Hamstring Discomfort

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) was removed from Monday's game against the San Diego Padres due to right hamstring discomfort. Lorenzo Cain came on as a pinch-hitter for him in the fourth inning and remained in the game the rest of the way. Renfroe ran from first to home while scoring a run on […]

Pavel Buchnevich Enjoying Life On Top Line

St. Louis Blues winger Pavel Buchnevich picked up two points in Monday's 6-3 loss to Colorado, setting up David Perron for the opening goal 5:07 into the game and adding a power-play goal late in the second period. The 27-year-old Russian was paired with Perron and Ryan O'Reilly on the first line ahead of Game […]

Mikko Rantanen Finally Gets His First Postseason Goal

Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen finally netted his first postseason goal of the year on Monday, wrapping up a 6-3 win over St. Louis with an empty-netter two seconds before the buzzer. This was his eighth playoff game of the season and he needed 19 shots on goal to light the lamp for the first […]

Nazem Kadri Produces His First Playoff Hat Trick

Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri came up with his first career playoff hat trick and added an assist as the team rolled to a 3-1 series lead against St. Louis with a 6-3 victory in Game 4. He scored twice in the second period to help turn a 1-0 deficit into a comfortable lead and […]

Andrei Vasilevskiy Posts Another Shutout In Series-Clincher

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy kept up his amazing record of shutouts in series-clinching games, stopping 49 shots in a 2-0 victory over Florida Monday night. He now has six shutouts in series-clinching games, the most in league history. Patrick Roy is the only goalie with more saves in a series-clinching game since 1955-56, […]

Treylon Burks NFL Rookie Profile - Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Outlook

On the opening night of the NFL Draft, pins could be heard dropping all across the NFL landscape as the Tennessee Titans traded A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles for the rights to the 18th and 101st overall selections. Moments later, wide receiver Treylon Burks was chosen as his replacement. While it did come as […]

Fantasy Football Running Back ADP Risers: NFL Draft Reaction

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with. Just in case you're not, Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you […]

Patrick Wisdom Homers In Fourth Consecutive Game

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer off of Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Vladimir Gutierrez on Monday. The streaky slugger will strike out a ton and won't help out your batting average, but when he gets hot, he can put up monster numbers in a short period of time. He […]

Triston McKenzie Dazzles in Win

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie spun seven quality innings against a strong Houston Astros lineup on Monday. The lanky righty allowed only three hits and one walk while striking out three batters. That makes four impressive outings in a row for McKenzie, who has picked up three wins over that span while posting a […]

Kolten Wong Continues Tough Stretch, Goes Hitless Monday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong went 0-for-5 Monday and is now hitting .107 over his last seven games. Wong's Baseball Savant page is a disaster as well, as he's posted the lowest xBA and xWOBA of his career. Unless Wong can start hitting the ball with more authority, it is unlikely that his current […]

Anthony Rizzo Comes Back Down To Earth In May

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo has just one home run and a .587 OPS in May. This comes after a scorching-hot April that saw him lead baseball with nine home runs. The good news for Rizzo is that the Yankees seem to like him hitting in the third spot between righties Giancarlo Stanton […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Continues To Slump Monday

New York Yankees shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been in a rut recently, which didn't change on Monday when he took an 0-for-4 while striking out once. Over his last 15 games, the former catcher is batting .204. The slump has brought down his season slash line to .256/.308/.302, and he has no home runs with […]

AJ Pollock Is Heating Up

Chicago White Sox outfielder AJ Pollock reached base twice on Monday, going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run in the 7-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals. It kept his hot streak alive, as he's slashing .288/.333/.500 over his last 15 games with a pair of homers. On the year, Pollock's batting .245 with […]

Marquise Goodwin Joins Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms on a deal with wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. The former third round pick should be an interesting addition to this roster. He nearly totaled an 1,000 receiving yard season in 2017. Since then, Goodwin hasn't made a huge impact on the football field. He most likely won't be […]

Matthew Stafford Will Wait To Throw

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (arm) will wait to throw until closer to training camp, according to head coach Sean McVay. He was there for the first day of OTAs, but didn't do any throwing drills. He received an injection in his elbow after the Rams Super Bowl victory. This shouldn't be an issue […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Doubles, Steals A Base Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes went 3-for-3 with a double, a run, an RBI, a walk, and a steal in a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday. Hayes provided almost all of the Pittsburgh offense in the low-scoring contest, ripping an RBI double in the first inning. He then singled, stole second, […]

Rashaad Penny Nursing Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is currently nursing an injury, according to head coach Pete Carroll. The season is three months away, but this is not a good sign for a player with a long injury history. The former first round pick has played in 37 games through four seasons. However, Penny finished […]

JT Brubaker Allows One Run Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander JT Brubaker pitched well in a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday. Brubaker allowed one unearned run over 6 2/3 innings of work while striking out four and walking two, but he had to settle for a no-decision in the outing. The solid performance leaves Brubaker with a 0-4 record, […]

Dylan Carlson Could Miss Two Weeks

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday after he was diagnosed with a grade 1/2 hamstring strain. The team is reportedly hopeful that Carlson will be able to return to action in two weeks, according to team manager Oliver Marmol. Carlson is struggling through his 2022 […]
