Jonathan India Hits Three-Run Shot Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India hit just his second home run of the season Tuesday, a three-run shot off Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Rowan Wick. India went 2-for-5 with the home run and two runs scored. This is India's first multi-hit performance since returning from injury on June 14, and fantasy managers surely hope […]

Jon Gray Picks Up Fourth Win Tuesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray earned his fourth win of the season Tuesday, throwing seven innings of one-run ball on five hits and two walks. He struck out eight batters. While the Kansas City Royals offense isn't the most formidable, this marks the fourth consecutive strong outing for the right-hander. Fantasy managers should take […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Activated From Injured List

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (knee) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and optioned catcher/infielder Yermin Mercedes to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Corey Seager Doubles, Drives In Two

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager drove in two runs Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored against the Kansas City Royals. Seager now has a modest three-game hit streak. After signing a giant contract in the offseason, Seager has been somewhat disappointing for Rangers fans and fantasy managers alike, recording a .731 […]

Aroldis Chapman Likely To Return Friday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) could be activated from the injured list on Thursday, but skipper Aaron Boone said he is "probably leaning more towards Friday" at the Cleveland Guardians.

Max Muncy Swats Sixth Homer

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy hit his sixth homer of the year Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with the solo shot and a double in a 7-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies.

Manny Machado Out Again Wednesday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Machado will miss his ninth straight game after tweaking his ankle on Father's Day on June 19.

Chicago White Sox utility man Josh Harrison offered some production from the ninth spot in the lineup Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, and three RBI in an 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

Luis Robert Homers In Big Game Tuesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert enjoyed a big game Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI, and two runs scored. Robert now has 11 different multi-hit games in June, though this represents just his second long ball in the month. Robert has slashed .295/.324/.434 for the season, and fantasy managers […]

Eno Benjamin Taking Advantage Of Repetitions

Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin has been taking advantage of his repetitions this offseason and has married his quickness, pass protection and receiving abilities into a player who could end up backing up James Conner in 2022. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury has raved about Benjamin this offseason. With Chase Edmonds leaving in free agency, […]

Jorge Alfaro Drives In Three Tuesday

San Diego Padres catcher Jorge Alfaro drove in three more runs Tuesday, going 2-for-5 with a double in a 7-6 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Alfaro is enjoying an excellent June, with a .313/.352/.597 and 14 RBI in 71 plate appearances, which has earned him more starts behind the plate. With seven multi-hit performances in […]

Bryce Thompson Projected To Make The Roster

New Orleans Saints second-year defensive back Bryce Thompson earned his way onto ESPN.com's Mike Triplett's 53-man roster projection based on how often he flashed during organized team activities and minicamp practices, and how the Saints were working him into packages with both the first- and second-string defenses. Thompson had a strong summer as an undrafted […]

Nate Landman Could Make The Roster

Atlanta Falcons undrafted rookie linebacker Nate Landman was active in 7-on-7 drills in the only heavy action during organized team activities and seemed to have a knack for finding the ball. Landman is still probably fighting an uphill battle to make the final roster as an inside linebacker out of training camp, but he might […]

Taylor Rogers Blows Save Tuesday

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Taylor Rogers was charged with his fourth loss and his fourth blown save of the season Tuesday, as he gave up a run on two hits in 1 2/3 innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He struck out three batters. This is only the third time in 10 June appearances that […]

Brian Asamoah Showcases His Speed

Minnesota Vikings rookie third-round linebacker Brian Asamoah's sideline-to-sideline speed was evident in non-contact practices this offseason, as was his confidence. He joked with an assistant coach that he wanted $5 every time he ran past someone. "I'm a rich man now," Asamoah said, "because I keep passing them." The 22-year-old was a two-year starter at […]

Evan Longoria Reaches Three Times, Drives In Two

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria was the standout offensive performer in Tuesday night's game, going 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, and a run scored in a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Tarik Skubal Takes Loss Tuesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal took the loss Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants after allowing three runs on four hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out five batters. Skubal has now amassed a record of 5-6 on the year. After an outstanding start to the year, Skubal has […]

Rashan Gary Looking Lean

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Rashan Gary had as good a spring as anyone in an offseason in which the Packers did almost no full-speed 11-on-11 work. Gary looked lean and muscular and is coming off a career-best season in which he racked up 9.5 sacks and 28 quarterback hits. He was one of the […]

Carlos Rodon Sharp Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (finger) performed very well in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers, throwing six innings of one-run baseball on seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts. He exited having thrown just 86 pitches (56 for strikes) as a result of a split nail. He should make his […]

Trinity Benson Has Productive Offseason

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell praised wide receiver Trinity Benson during minicamp as one of the players who is "having a hell of a spring." Benson has learned the team's playbook and elevated his confidence by adding speed to his skill set. The 25-year-old will still have to fight for a roster spot in […]

Adrian Martinez To Make Second Start Thursday

Oakland Athletics right-handed pitching prospect Adrian Martinez will be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to make his second major league start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, according to manager Mark Kotsay. In his first start against the Detroit Tigers during a May 10 doubleheader, Martinez tossed 5 1/3 scoreless frames while walking none […]

Phillies Calling Up Darick Hall

The Philadelphia Phillies are calling up first baseman Darick Hall from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday after he hit his 20th home run in the minors on Tuesday night. The left-handed slugger isn't among the team's top-30 prospects on MLB Pipeline, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to make an impact in fantasy […]

Michael Chavis Not Playing Against Nationals

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Michael Chavis is out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. It's the second straight game that Chavis has started on the bench against a right-handed pitcher. Instead, Josh VanMeter will get another start at the cold corner and will hit fifth in the batting order against […]

Lane Thomas Sitting Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Thomas had been in the starting lineup each of the last four games for the Nats. Although he's hitting just .231/.294/.406, he has eight home runs, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base through 67 games. […]

Eduardo Escobar Out Against Astros

New York Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Houston Astros. Escobar is hitting just .114 (4-for-35) with a homer and five RBI in 10 games over the last two weeks, so it's a good time for him to take a seat. Overall, he's slashing just .222/.283/.376 […]

Aaron Ashby Throws Bullpen Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby (forearm) threw a bullpen session at Tropicana Field on Wednesday, and everything went well.
