Nick Castellanos Homers In Second Straight Game

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos went deep again Monday, giving him home runs in back-to-back games. He was 2-for-4 with the solo shot and a strikeout. He now has a modest five-game hitting streak, giving fantasy managers some hope that his .263/.320/.441 slash line for the season should be improving in short order. With seven […]

Wilmer Flores Homers Monday

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores went deep Monday, knocking a two-run home run in a 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. It was his only hit in five at-bats.

Luis Guillorme Earning More Opportunities

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme has been on a significant hot streak of late, slashing .475/.533/.525 over his last 15 games, and he has even occupied the leadoff spot in the batting order while Brandon Nimmo has been out with injury. Guillorme doesn't offer much in the way of power or speed, with just […]

Chiefs Impressed With George Karlaftis' Energy

The Kansas City Chiefs have been impressed with first-round defensive end George Karlaftis' energy in offseason practices.

The Chiefs are hoping it continues into the regular season as they look to […]
