Miles Mikolas Takes Loss in Quality Start Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas was solid once again on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk in six innings while striking out four batters. Unfortunately, he didn't receive any run support from the offense, and he was assigned his seventh loss of the season against five wins. Mikolas has […]

Marcell Ozuna Homers, Continues Heating Up

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna added another home run Wednesday night, his 17th of the season. Ozuna has now homered three times in his last four games and has a modest five-game hitting streak going. Ozuna's disappointing .708 OPS surely has fantasy managers in fits, but he does have a chance to eclipse his […]

Bills' Offensive Line Depth Could Be A Problem

The Buffalo Bills don't have many holes in their starting lineup, but offensive line depth could become a big problem if they sustain any injuries in 2022. Cody Ford is their top backup guard, but he was benched for poor play after only three games last year. Top backup tackle David Quessenberry signed a one-year […]

Eddie Rosario Hits First Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario hit his first home run of the season Wednesday night, smacking a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning of a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Rosario was 1-for-2 before being removed for a pinch hitter. It appears that Rosario will be used as a platoon […]

Ravens Lacking In Pass-Rush Department

The Baltimore Ravens didn't do anything significant this offseason to immediately upgrade their pass rush off the edge. Second-round rookie David Ojabo could be a factor eventually, but he's also recovering from a mid-March Achilles tear. Tyus Bowser led the team in sacks in 2021, but he's questionable for the start of the season after […]

Hunter Dozier Homers, Drives In Three

Kansas City Royals corner infielder/outfielder Hunter Dozier hit his ninth home run of the year Wednesday night, a two-run shot off Houston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier. He also doubled, walked, and drove in one additional run in four total plate appearances. Dozier has slashed .291/.371/.545 with three homers, one steal, nine runs, and nine […]

Andrew Benintendi Steals A Base, Scores Thrice

Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi continued to build his trade value Wednesday night, going 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, three runs scored, an RBI, and a stolen base in a 7-4 win over the Houston Astros. Benintendi doesn't add much in the power or speed categories, with just three homers and two steals […]

Scott Barlow Locks Down 13th Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow locked down his 13th save Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters in one inning of work against the Houston Astros. Barlow has been successful in all but two of his save opportunities this season, and he has a 2.39 ERA and 1.04 WHIP to his […]

Chase Edmonds Lined Up To Be Lead Back

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds signed a two-year, $12.6 million deal this offseason after spending his first four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, and it seems like he's going to enter the year as Miami's lead back. Edmonds has plenty of versatility and should see the majority of the opportunities, but he'll also be […]

Merrill Kelly Solid In No-Decision Against Giants

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly threw a quality start against the San Francisco Giants Wednesday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out six batters. Kelly has now lasted at least six innings in six consecutive starts, with two earned runs or less in four of […]

Mitch White Allows One Hit In No-Decision

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Mitch White took the mound against the Colorado Rockies Wednesday night and led the club to a 2-1 victory by allowing just one hit in 5 2/3 innings. He did walk four batters, along with his six strikeouts. An elevated pitch count kept White from going deeper into the game, […]

Cody Bellinger Steals A Base, Adds Three Hits

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger led the way offensively in a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored. While Bellinger has largely been disappointing this (and previous) seasons, he has now reached double digits in both homers and steals with 11 long balls and […]

David Moore Arrested On Drug, Weapon Charges

Chicago Bears wide receiver David Moore was arrested in Gainesville, Texas, on drug and weapon charges on Monday. He was released from jail on a $5,000 bond. It comes after receiver Byron Pringle was arrested for reckless driving on a suspended license on April 24, while linebacker Matt Adams was arrested on a misdemeanor gun […]

Justin Herbert Working On His Footwork

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has the most completions (839) and passing yards (9,350) through the first two seasons of his career in league history and is also the first QB to throw 30-plus touchdowns in each of his first two seasons, but he's still looking for ways to improve heading into his third […]

Giants Acquire Tobias Myers From Cleveland

The San Francisco Giants acquired right-hander Tobias Myers from the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations. The Giants have optioned Myers to Triple-A Sacramento and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) has been moved to the 60-day injured list. Myers, who was listed by MLB Pipeline as the Guardians' No. 20 prospect, had really […]

How Every NFL Rookie Wide Receiver Impacts Their Offense for Fantasy Football (Round 2)

Each year we see a handful of incoming rookie WRs finish as a WR2 or better in fantasy football. While the best rookies are typically those who are drafted in the first round (Odell Beckham Jr., Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase), there are also numerous recent examples of Day 2 and 3 picks who also had […]

Jorge Lopez Notches 14th Save Against Texas

Baltimore Orioles closer Jorge Lopez picked up his 14th save of the season on Wednesday when he closed the game out against the Texas Rangers. Lopez allowed one hit while walking none and striking out two in his one inning of work. The 29-year-old right-hander had surrendered runs in each of his last three outings […]

Max Fried Removed Early In Win Over Cards

Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried (glute) was sharp in the team's 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, but he was removed early as a precaution due to tightness in his right glute after allowing no runs on five hits while walking one and striking out four over six innings pitched for his […]

Florio's MLB Bullpen Report: Braves Pen Changing, Stash Candidates

For over a month now I have been highlighting the fact that no position is more influenced by the trade deadline than the reliever position. That closers and other relievers would be traded which would be sure to shake up the fantasy baseball relief pitcher landscape. That we would see new closers emerge and some […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Remains Out Thursday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) remains out of the starting lineup against the Houston Astros on Thursday. Witt was hit on the right hand by a pitch on Tuesday and hasn't played since, but X-rays came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day for now. The 22-year-old is one of the most […]

Kyle Tucker Sitting Against Lefty

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will take a seat on Thursday against Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic. It's a normal day of rest for Tucker against a southpaw, and it will be his first day off since June 1. Fantasy managers need to make sure to remove him from their daily lineups. Tucker got […]

Joey Votto Out For Game 1 Thursday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Votto has been out of action for the last two days due to back tightness, and it remains to be seen if the 38-year-old veteran will return for the second […]

Jonathan India Back In Lineup For Game 1

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (ankle) is back at second base and is batting leadoff on Thursday against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras for Game 1 of a doubleheader. India left the game on Wednesday early after being hit by a pitch in his ankle, but it obviously wasn't serious enough to keep him […]

Gardner Minshew Likely To Stay With Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles could still trade quarterback Gardner Minshew this offseason if another team is desperate for a quarterback and is willing to give up a substantial draft pick, but it would have to be a substantial offer. Minshew is still on the final year of his rookie contract and represents a cheap and solid […]

Kendrick Bourne Could Emerge As Top Threat

Patriots.com's Paul Perillo writes that he could see New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne emerging as the team's top pass-catching threat this year due to his speed and ability to gain yards after the catch. Bourne was pretty consistent over the second half of the season, and he could be second-year quarterback Mac Jones' […]

Garrett Hawkins Delivers Seven Perfect Innings

San Diego Padres pitching prospect Garrett Hawkins is a Canadian right-hander who was selected in the ninth round of last year's MLB Draft. At 6-foot-6, Hawkins works with a simple, smooth delivery that is easy to replicate. He's not afraid to move his fastball around the zone, consistently touching the low-to-mid-90s. He also throws a […]
