Willy Adames Drives In Two

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames had a three-hit game against the New York Mets Wednesday, adding a double, two RBI, and two runs scored in five at-bats during a 10-2 victory. This is just his third multi-hit performance since the beginning of May but his second in the last three games, so fantasy managers should […]

Jeff McNeil Smacks Fourth Homer

New York Mets utility man Jeff McNeil provided one of the only bright spots in the team's 10-2 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday, mashing a solo home run over the right-field fence. It was one of just five hits the Mets could muster against Corbin Burnes et al. McNeil himself went 2-for-4 with two […]

Bryan Reynolds Homers, Triples Wednesday

Brendan Donovan Has Three Hits, Drives In Two

St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan batted second in the lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday and performed well, going 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored.

Jack Flaherty Lasts Three Innings In First Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty made his season debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday, and he lasted three innings. It was expected to be an abbreviated start for the righty. Flaherty allowed four runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts. While he was not as sharp as fantasy […]

Gabriel Davis' Stock On The Rise

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis continued to be a consistent target for quarterback Josh Allen at mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday, and he is stepping back into a starting role as the No. 2 wideout after spending most of last year backing up veteran Emmanuel Sanders. Davis has caught 35 passes each of the […]

Christopher Morel Homers, Drives In Three

Chicago Cubs utility man Christopher Morel provided most of the offense for the club Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run and three RBI. It was his fourth homer of the year, but not nearly enough to save the Cubs from a 19-5 defeat at the hands of the San Diego Padres. It's looking […]

Amed Rosario Adds A Homer And A Steal

Curtis Samuel Limited At Minicamp

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel was limited at mandatory minicamp this week because head coach Ron Rivera and the training staff felt like he was in a "good spot" after what he did at organized team activities and last Tuesday's minicamp practice. The Commanders don't want to push Samuel anymore, but Rivera said it […]

Trey Mancini Still Out Against Blue Jays

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini (hand) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Jorge Alfaro Sitting Thursday

Pete Crow-Armstrong To Miss A Week Or Two

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong (hand) suffered a hand injury in the minor leagues and is expected to miss a week or two, according to a source.

Matt Barnes Playing Catch

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes (shoulder) has graduated to playing catch at the team's spring training facilities, and the next step for him will be to throw a bullpen session.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (back) is still "sore," according to manager Alex Cora, but he's also doing "better" after being put on the injured list last Sunday with lower-back inflammation. The Red Sox are hoping that Eovaldi will miss the minimum amount of time on the injured list and be activated as soon […]

Chris Sale Will Return As Starter

There has been some back and forth as to whether Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale (ribs) will return to the team as a starter or a reliever once he's activated from the injured list, but skipper Alex Cora put any confusion to rest. "Chris Sale is a starter. Every five days, he not only […]

Dansby Swanson Stays Hot Wednesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson kept his hot streak alive on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, a run, and a walk. After a miserable April in which he hit .216, he's brought his line to .295/.362/.470. Swanson also has nine home runs, 37 RBI, 39 runs, and nine stolen bases. The 28-year-old […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 10

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

O.J. Howard Hasn't Looked Dynamic

Buffalo Bills backup tight end O.J. Howard hasn't looked like the dynamic pass-catcher he was when he was a first-round pick in 2017. The 6-foot-6, 250-pounder has still been consistent in his opportunities this offseason and he could be an excellent blocker for 12 personnel while being a pass-catching threat, but his movement skills are […]

Texas Heat: Rangers Bats Finally Heating Up for Fantasy Baseball

The Texas Rangers made some massive investments in the team’s offense this past offseason, signing free agent infielders Corey Seager and Marcus Semien to long-term contracts worth a combined $500 million.

Khalil Shakir May Struggle To Make An Impact

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakir failed to reel in either of his two targets at mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday, but he remains a solid route-runner who still needs some seasoning. It remains to be seen how Buffalo will use Shakir in his rookie season, but with how well Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, […]

What's Going On With Trevor Rogers? Fantasy Baseball Outlook

In baseball, it is easy to take its immense difficulty for granted. After all, these are the best athletes in the world, and at the end of the day, we are comparing them to each other as opposed to the average person. This comes with the job, though being able to stay at the top […]

Isaiah McKenzie Could Become Primary Slot Weapon

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie was quarterback Josh Allen's favorite weapon at mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday. Allen targeted McKenzie on four of his 12 pass attempts, connecting on three, all short passes that the defense was allowing. McKenzie looked quick and shifty all day and was one of only three receivers that Allen […]

Khalil Mack Will Be Ready For Training Camp

Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Khalil Mack (foot), who is coming off a foot injury that limited him to seven games last year with the Chicago Bears, will be ready for training camp next month, according to head coach Brandon Staley.
