He struck out four batters and took the loss, dropping his record to 11-6. Entering this contest, Flexen had posted seven straight starts with three runs […]

Cal Raleigh Doubles Twice To Break Hitless Streak

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh showed some signs of life Saturday, going 2-for-4 with two doubles against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Entering the game, Raleigh had gone hitless in seven straight games, with an 0-for-18 line in that time. His .168/.215/.274 slash line for the season makes him unusable in fantasy for now, but he should […]

Jarred Kelenic Knocks Solo Shot Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic hit his ninth homer of the season Saturday, knocking a solo shot off Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Humberto Castellanos in the fourth inning of a 7-3 defeat. It was his only hit in four at-bats. Kelenic now has a hit in seven of his nine September games, with four extra-base […]

Mitch Haniger Hits Two-Run Homer Against D-Backs

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger provided one of the few bright spots for the team Saturday, hitting a two-run home run in the first inning of a 7-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was hit only hit in four at-bats and he struck out twice. Haniger has had a rough go of late, slashing […]

Josh Taylor Earns First Career Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Josh Taylor earned his first career save Saturday, allowing just a single hit while striking out two batters in the 10th inning of a 9-8 extra-inning win over the Chicago White Sox. Taylor has been solid all season with a 3.57 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts in 45 1/3 […]

Garrett Whitlock Earns Relief Win Over White Sox

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock pitched two strong innings against the Chicago White Sox Saturday night, earning him his eighth win of the season. He allowed no runs on one hit and one walk and did not strike out a batter. Whitlock is by far the most effective pitcher in Boston's bullpen at […]

Connor Seabold Goes Three Innings In Debut

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Connor Seabold made his major league debut Saturday, and while he only lasted three innings, he was decently effective. Seabold allowed two runs on three hits and two walks. He did not strike out a batter. Manager Alex Cora didn't ask much of Seabold against the White Sox, but perhaps […]

Christian Vazquez Reaches Three Times Saturday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez reached base three times against the Chicago White Sox Saturday, going 2-for-3 with a walk. Vazquez has been an utter disappointment all season with a .665 OPS, but he's been swinging a better bat in his past seven games to the tune of a .379/.400/.517 slash line. That doesn't […]

Travis Shaw Homers, Drives In Four

Boston Red Sox infielder Travis Shaw delivered the biggest hit of the game Saturday, driving a three-run home run over the fence to knock Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease out of the game. Shaw went 2-for-5, adding a single and an additional RBI to his line. Shaw has taken some excellent at-bats since […]

Alex Verdugo Scores Twice, Drives In Two

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo had just one hit in five at-bats Saturday, but he still managed to score twice and drive in two runs. He also struck out three times. Verdugo has slashed .355/.427/.495 over his last 30 games with 17 runs scored and 15 RBI in that time, though only two home […]

Hunter Renfroe Steals A Base Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe stole a base Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. It was just his first of the season. He also went 1-for-5 in the 9-8 extra-inning victory. Renfroe is not the fleetest of foot, but he does have 13 steals in his career, so he's capable of nabbing one every […]

Rafael Devers Strikes Out Three Times Saturday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers endured a frustrating game Saturday, going 1-for-4 with a walk, a run, and an RBI with three strikeouts. He also made a costly error in the field which led to three unearned runs. Devers has gone six games without an extra-base hit, striking out in eight of his […]

Dietrich Enns Picks Up The Win

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Dietrich Enns (1-0) struck out six over four perfect innings to earn the win during Saturday's 7-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. He entered the game in the fifth inning after Chris Archer (hip) was removed due to left hip discomfort. Enns was flawless on Saturday, striking out six over four […]

Kike Hernandez Gets Back On Track With Two Hits

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a double, a sacrifice fly, a run scored, and an RBI against the Chicago White Sox in a 9-8 extra-inning loss Saturday. It was a strong showing for Hernandez, who had previously gone just 1-for-13 in three games since returning from a COVID-19 diagnosis. If […]

Josiah Gray Roughed Up Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Josiah Gray did not have his best stuff Saturday, allowing five runs on three hits and a whopping six walks in five innings. He struck out four batters. His ERA now sits at an unsightly 6.00, and he remains in search of his first win. Gray has now given up at […]

Ryan Zimmerman Hits Pinch-Hit Homer

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman delivered a pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning of Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's his 13th of the year. Zimmerman has managed 223 at-bats as a part-time player this season, producing a .756 OPS. He's more valuable to the real-life Nationals than any fantasy team, […]

Chris Archer Exits Saturday’s Start Early With Hip Discomfort

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer (hip) exited Saturday's 7-2 win over the Detroit Tigers with left hip discomfort. He allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings before exiting. The 32-year-old did not factor into the decision. The severity of his injury is unknown at […]

Keibert Ruiz Drives In Three Before Exiting

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz hit his first career double Saturday, clearing the bases against Wil Crowe and the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fourth inning of a 10-7 loss. It was Ruiz's only hit in two at-bats before being hit in the face by a pitch and exiting the game. X-rays came back negative, but […]

Juan Soto Has Four-Hit Game

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 4-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored against the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday. He now has a 15-game on-base streak, and he's reached base four times in five of those games. Since the All-Star break, he's slashed .349/.522/.645, and a tough-luck down month of May could be all that's […]

Alcides Escobar Drives In One, Scores Twice

Washington Nationals shortstop Alcides Escobar went 2-for-5 against the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday with an RBI and two runs scored. He's only put together a .709 OPS in 229 at-bats, but he's racked up 41 runs in his 55 games. He doesn't seem like he's going to move out of the two-spot, making him a possible […]

Joey Wendle Triples, Homers On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, and an additional run scored during Saturday's 7-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. He belted a solo shot into the right-center field seats in the fourth inning to extend the Rays lead 4-0. The 31-year-old tripled and beat Tigers' third baseman […]

Saquon Barkley Medically Cleared, Set To Return Week 1

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) has been medically cleared and is expected to play in the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. He logged limited practices throughout the week and is questionable for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old had no setbacks and is expected to return for the first time since tearing his […]

Freddie Freeman Knocks In Two Runs

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is looking like a possible MVP candidate with the way he has been hitting in the second half. On Saturday, he went 2-for-5 with two singles and two RBI in the 6-4 loss to the Miami Marlins. Sadly, the Braves blew this game late and there wasn't enough time […]

Charlie Morton Tosses Quality Start Versus Marlins

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton continued his solid season during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. He went seven innings, six hits allowed, three earned runs, and seven strikeouts in the 6-4 loss. Sadly, the Braves bullpen struggled late in the game and blew it. Despite that, Morton looked sharp and showed he is […]

Jonah Heim Comes In Clutch On Saturday

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is looking like prime Babe Ruth at the plate these days. On Saturday, Heim went 2-for-3 with a go-ahead two-run home run and a double in the 8-6 win over the Oakland Athletics. Heim already has a few clutch hits off the Seattle Mariners this season. He apparently does his […]

Jorge Alfaro Leaves Early Saturday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro exited Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the ninth inning after aggravating something on the base paths. It's unclear what exactly occurred, but it likely has to do with his left leg or knee. Alfaro is hardly fantasy relevant at this point, as he's hitting .240 with just four […]
