Yadiel Hernandez Knocks Ninth Homer

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez knocked his ninth home run of the year Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with the solo shot, a double, two RBI, and a run scored. Hernandez has played nearly every day since the trade deadline, and he's in a valuable lineup spot for RBI batting fifth behind Juan Soto and Josh Bell […]

Tyrell Williams Lands On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and placed kicker Austin Seibert on the COVID-19 list. They also officially signed inside linebacker Josh Woods from the Chicago Bears practice squad. Williams suffered a head injury in the season-opener and did not play in the Week 2 loss to […]

DeVante Parker A Low-End Flex Option For Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has seen 16 targets over the first two games of the season. He has been significantly involved in the gameplan, but that could change in Week 3. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will be under center for this game against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's also worth noting that Will […]

Will Fuller Back To Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (personal) was back on the practice field on Wednesday. This was expected after Fuller returned to the team facility on Monday. It looks very likely that Fuller is going to make his team debut in Week 3 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Sadly, he'll face backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett […]

Jarred Kelenic Walks Twice, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic went 0-for-2 with two walks against the Oakland Athletics Wednesday, adding a stolen base. He now has six for the season. Though he still has a .606 OPS in 302 at-bats, he's started to turn his year around in a big way with a .269/.367/.673 slash line, five homers, and […]

Kyle Seager Homers, Reaches 100 RBI

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a big day Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double. He now has 35 homers and 100 RBI this season, making him one of just five players to reach those marks thus far this year. He's slashing .379/.419/.655 over his […]

Malcolm Brown Unlikely To Be Trustworthy

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown was expected to have a significant role in this offense coming into the season. Thus far, Brown has disappointed and Myles Gaskin has been the clear No. 1 back in this offense. In Week 2, Brown saw just five touches in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. Possibly, […]

Ty France Homers, Scores Twice Wednesday

Seattle Mariners infielder Ty France hit his 17th home run of the season in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Oakland Athletics. He went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. France is slashing .423/.516/.615 in 26 at-bats over his last seven games. He's clearly been the best hitter in the Seattle lineup, if not the biggest run-producer […]

Myles Gaskin A Risky Flex Play

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has been a fine flex option in PPR formats through two weeks. However, things could get more difficult for him against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. Last season, the Raiders allowed the third-most rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs. However, the Dolphins will be operating with backup […]

Drew Steckenrider Saves 11th Game

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider saved his 11th game of the season Wednesday, throwing a scoreless inning with one hit allowed and one strikeout against the Oakland Athletics. Steckenrider was filling in for Paul Sewald, who had thrown in three straight games, but Steckenrider now has the upper hand in total saves. There's no […]

Jacoby Brissett Not On Streaming Radar

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett will draw the start against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. Second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) will miss at least this game and possibly more time. In the meantime, Brissett will be asked to run the Dolphins offense that just got shutout by the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. […]

Chris Flexen Earns 13th Win Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen earned his 13th win of the season Wednesday night, going seven innings and allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out eight batters against the Oakland Athletics in a 4-1 victory. Flexen has a 2.93 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 43 innings over his last […]

Jack Eichel To Begin Season On Injured Reserve

Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel (neck) has been placed on Injured Reserve as his team opened training camp on Thursday. The 24-year-old was also stripped of his captain label after failing his training camp physical, an expected outcome given his publicized disagreement with Sabres management on how to deal with the herniated disc in his […]

Gary Sanchez Belts Two-Run Homer Wednesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez delivered a key home run in Wednesday's victory over the Rangers. Sanchez entered the game as a defensive replacement in the top of the eighth inning and stepped up to the plate in the bottom half, launching a two-run blast to break the game open for New York. The […]

Nicklas Backstrom To Miss Start Of Camp For Capitals

Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom (hip) will not take the ice for his team as training camp opens on Thursday. The 33-year-old has been listed as "week-to-week" while rehabilitating from a hip issue that bothered him last season. The injury news is tough to hear, as Backstrom was arguably the Caps' most effective player last […]

Evgeni Malkin Out At Least Two Months With Injury

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin (knee) will miss at least the first two months of the 2021-2022 season due to injury. The 35-year-old underwent knee surgery back in June and is still recovering. Malkin only played 33 games last season, posting 28 points (eight goals, 20 assists) a minus-four rating, nine power-play points and 72 […]

Derrick Henry Set Up To Lead All RBs In Week 3

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will look to build on his impressive Week 2 performance in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. He rushed for 182 yards with three touchdowns and caught all six targets for 55 yards during Sunday's Week 2 33-30 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. Henry has now […]

Corey Kluber Fails To Make It To Fifth Inning

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber didn't have his best stuff in Wednesday's no-decision against the Rangers. Kluber pitched just 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on a whopping eight hits. The veteran did exhibit solid control, striking out four batters with no walks issued. Most of Kluber's hits were allowed on two-strike counts, […]

Elvis Andrus Posts Another Hitless Game In Loss To Mariners

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. Andrus had a six-game hit streak recently to raise his batting average to .241, but that's the extent of the positives for the veteran shortstop. Andrus' on-base percentage is an anemic .289 as he's found himself buried at the bottom […]

Nick Gordon Doubles, Steals Base Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon collected a double, a stolen base, and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. Gordon ripped a 97.9 MPH double, stole second base, and then scored on a sacrifice fly. The 25-year-old hasn't seen everyday playing time, but perhaps he should, as he's batting .326 with four runs […]

Ozzie Albies Sets New Career High

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies made history for himself during Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went 1-for-4 with a home run and 3 RBI in the 9-2 on Wednesday. That home run marked his 30th of the season, while he also knocked in 100 runs on the campaign. The 24-year-old has now […]

Sean Murphy Collects Hit In Rare Start

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy went 1-for-3 in a start versus the Mariners on Wednesday. The sophomore backstop came into the season as the A's starter, but Oakland traded for Yan Gomes at the trade deadline and Murphy has seen his playing time evaporate. For most of August, Gomes and Murphy were splitting catcher reps […]

Freddie Freeman Make An Impact On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is red-hot at the plate right now, which is good with the playoffs right around the corner. On Wednesday, Freeman went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, and two RBI in the 9-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Braves offense had no issues here and made easy […]

Ian Anderson Throws Gem Versus Diamondbacks

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was locked in during Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went seven innings, two hits allowed, one earned run, one walk, and eight strikeouts in the 9-2 win. To be fair, the Diamondbacks don't have much firepower on offense, but Anderson made easy work of them. Anderson will […]

Max Kepler Belts A Pair Of Homers Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, two homers, a double, and three RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. Kepler's fingerprints were all over this game, as he got the scoring started with a two-run shot in the first inning, then broke a 2-2 tie with another homer in the […]

Alex Colome Struggles But Picks Up 15th Save

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome barely managed to pick up his 15th save of the season Wednesday against the Cubs. Colome allowed a leadoff double, induced a strikeout, then surrendered an RBI single. The veteran reliever yielded a walk, RBI groundout, and another single before bearing down to get the third out via a […]

Jose Alvarado Throws Two Pitches, Earns Win Versus O's

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado only faced one batter on Wednesday versus the Orioles, but he still earned the victory despite throwing just two pitches. Fellow reliever Sam Coonrod was summoned to protect a one-run lead in the seventh inning, but he struggled and Alvarado was called on to escape the jam. He did […]

Ryan Tannehill A Borderline QB1 Against The Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a borderline starter in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. This season, Tannehill has been a bit of a disappointment and will look to bounce back against the Colts this Sunday. The Titans quarterback has thrown for 559 yards with a 1:1 TD: INT ratio and rushed […]
