Michael Harris II Goes Off From Ninth Spot

Harris II went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI, and three runs scored. He now has seven homers on the season to go […]

C.J. Cron Not In The Starting Lineup Versus The D-Backs

Colorado Rockies first baseman/designated hitter C.J. Cron (wrist) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Cron was plunked on the wrist by Zac Gallen during Friday's contest so that appears to be the reason for his absence on Saturday. X-rays did come back negative but he's likely dealing with some soreness. […]

Ryan Jeffers Homers During Three-Hit Day

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers has never been a particularly strong offensive player, but he was able to contribute on Friday against the Texas Rangers, going 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-5 loss. Jeffers now has six homers on the year to go with 21 runs scored, and 23 RBI. He's unlikely […]

Aaron Civale Goes Seven Strong

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Aaron Civale through seven strong innings Friday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks to the Kansas City Royals. He struck out six batters and was left with a no-decision in the contest. This is perhaps Civale's best start of the season in what has been a difficult campaign […]

Long-Term Extension Could Happen For Dalton Schultz

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz has a chance to receive a new deal before July 15, the deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign long-term contracts. Still, it's not a foregone conclusion that it will happen, although NFL Network's Mike Garafolo anticipates discussions between both sides to intensify. Schultz, who had 78 grabs for 808 […]

Tyler Stephenson Activated From The 10-Day Injured List

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (thumb) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old, who missed a month of action with a fractured right thumb, is back in the Reds' lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Stephenson was slashing a rock-solid .305/.361/.468 with five home runs and 31 RBI across 141 […]

Franmil Reyes Hits 100th Career Homer

Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes reached a major milestone in Friday night's game, hitting the 100th home run of his career. It's his eighth long ball of this season. Reyes went 1-for-4 with the two-run shot. Fantasy managers certainly expected Reyes to reach this point earlier in the year, but it's been an underwhelming […]

Josh Naylor Back In The Lineup On Saturday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (back) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. The 25-year-old has been dealing with back spasms, which have forced him to miss four of the last five games.

Jeimer Candelario Homers, Drives In Three

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario homered and drove in three runs Friday night, leading the team to a 7-5 victory over Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox.

Eloy Jimenez Sitting Out On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. Jimenez was activated from the injured list earlier this week after missing two and a half months with a torn hamstring so this is just a routine day off for the 25-year-old slugger. He's appeared in three games […]

Mike Gesicki Expected To Play On Tag This Season

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is expected to play on a franchise tag in 2022-23. Both sides have until July 15 to reach a long-term agreement.

Alec Bohm Homers Twice Friday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm provided all the offense for either team Friday night, going 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in a 2-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Adam Wainwright Takes Loss In Complete Game

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright went all the way Friday night, throwing a complete game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while recording three strikeouts. The offense couldn't offer him even a run of support, however, and Wainwright was handed his seventh loss of the […]

Kris Bryant Homers Twice Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant hit two home runs Friday night, leading the team to a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also doubled and walked in five plate appearances. This big night is surely a welcome sight to fantasy managers, who have dealt with significant absences and underperformance to this point in the […]

Josh Rojas Adds Home Run And Stolen Base

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas had a big game Friday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base, three RBI, and a run scored against the Colorado Rockies in a 6-5 loss.

Jose Urquidy Goes Eight Strong Friday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy capitalized on a favorable matchup against the feeble Oakland Athletics Friday, pitching eight strong innings to earn his eighth win of the season. Urquidy allowed three runs on four hits and a walk with two strikeouts. He now has a streak of five consecutive quality starts. With just 65 […]

Brandon Belt Hits Two-Run Shot Off Bench

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt was on the bench again Friday, as the opposing San Diego Padres started left-hander Blake Snell.

This earned Snell his first win of the season, improving his record to 1-5 in 9 nine starts. He now has […]

Nico Hoerner Goes Deep Friday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner hit a home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday, his fifth of the season. He didn't reach base in any of his three other plate appearances. Hoerner has performed admirably this year with a .757 OPS, five homers, and seven steals. He's been even better over his last 15 […]

Andres Munoz Strikes Out Three More

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz recorded three outs Friday, and all three of them were on strikeouts. He also allowed one hit.
