Paul Sewald Blows Save, Gets Gift Win

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald did not get the job done Saturday, giving up back-to-back walks before yielding a three-run home run to Jared Walsh in a disastrous eighth inning.

Andrew Stevenson Homers, Drives In Two

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson got the start in left field Saturday against the Boston Red Sox, and he went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run. Stevenson has just a .632 OPS with five homers and one steal in 192 at-bats this season, but he's slashed .289/.373/.444 in 45 at-bats over his last 30 games. […]

Rafael Devers Hits Solo Shot Saturday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers got the scoring started with a solo home run Saturday, and at first it appeared that would be the only run the Red Sox would require, but they eventually won 5-3 over the Washington Nationals. Devers was 1-for-5 in the game. He now has a modest four-game hitting […]

Xander Bogaerts Reaches Four Times Saturday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts reached base four times Saturday, going 1-for-2 with three walks in a 5-3 victory over the Washington Nationals. Bogaerts has now walked three times in two consecutive games after failing to reach three walks in any other single game this season. He hasn't helped fantasy managers much over his […]

Enrique Hernandez Homers, Drives In Two Saturday

Boston Red Sox utility man Enrique Hernandez homered again Saturday, going 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, and a run scored. This two-runs hot helps Hernandez reach the 20-homer plateau for just the second time in his career. He's thrived atop the Red Sox lineup, and he has set a new career-high by far with […]

Hansel Robles Saves Second Straight Game

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles got the save again Saturday, and he's now saved consecutive games against the Washington Nationals. He allowed one walk and struck out one batter in an inning of work to notch his 14th of the year. Robles appears to have taken over the closer role as the playoffs […]

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo wrapped up his season with a strong start on Saturday, striking out 11 Phillies hitters in 5 1/3 innings of work. He allowed just one run on six hits without allowing a walk or a home run. While the 11 strikeouts, a career high, were certainly encouraging, perhaps […]

Buddy Howell Makes Active Roster For Week 4

Los Angeles Rams running back Buddy Howell was added to the active roster ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the visiting Cardinals. The 25-year-old also got the call-up and was in uniform in Week 3 against the defending champs. However, as expected, he didn't do much. He probably won't be involved against Arizona, at […]

Le'Veon Bell Officially Promoted To Active Roster

Baltimore Ravens running back Le'Veon Bell has officially been added to the active roster. Bell was signed after J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) were both lost for the year, and he has been a member of the practice squad since. The 29-year-old last played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020, finishing with […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Out Against Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder, hand) did not travel to New England and will not play during the Sunday Night Football clash against the Patriots. Paul sat out in Week 3 as well, although he did practice fully on Friday, which would suggest he could make it back for the Week 5 contest […]

N'Keal Harry Activated Off Injured Reserve

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) was activated from the Injured Reserve list on Saturday. The move makes him eligible to play for the Sunday Night Football matchup against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it will be his first appearance since sustaining a shoulder injury during the preseason. The 23-year-old […]

Mark Andrews Has Limited Upside Against Denver

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews will be entering the Week 4 contest in Denver fresh off his best showing of the season, finishing with five catches for 109 yards against the Detroit Lions. Still, while that type of production is encouraging, primarily since Andrews was virtually non-existent during his first two games of the […]

Sammy Watkins Draws Tough Matchup In Week 4

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins has been a frequent option for signal-caller Lamar Jackson, currently sitting on 22 targets on the year. However, the veteran will have a tough task ahead against a capable Broncos defense in Week 4, so fantasy managers may want to consider other options in nearly all formats. Nonetheless, with […]

Marquise Brown Hoping To Forget Week 3 Performance

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown will look to put his previous outing behind him against the Broncos in Week 4. Hollywood struggled with drops in Week 3 against the Lions, and he finished by catching just three of his seven targets for 53 yards. Still, the 24-year-old has upside in deeper fantasy leagues and […]

Tanner Houck Pitches Five Perfect Innings On Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck was perfect through five innings in his start against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. He retired each of the 15 batters he faced, striking out eight of them. He was pulled after throwing 53 pitches. Unfortunately, he got minimal run support and wound up with a no decision. […]

Walker Buehler To Start Dodgers Season Finale

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler will take the mound for the team's final game of the year against the Milwaukee Brewers. How deep he goes in the game may depend on whether the game is still relevant. If the Dodgers lose on Saturday, then the San Francisco Giants clinch the NL West. However, […]

Reiss Knehr To Start Padres Final Game

San Diego Padres pitcher Reiss Knehr has been named the team's starting pitcher for their final game of the year against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

Willson Contreras Leaves With Hip Tightness On Saturday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (hip) was removed in the third inning of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals due to hip tightness. He was pulled from the game after drawing a walk.
