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 […]

Cole Irvin Allows Three Runs In Loss To Mariners

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin allowed three runs across five innings to take the loss on Wednesday versus Seattle. Irvin was not effective in this one as he allowed seven hits and three walks while only picking up three strikeouts. The left-hander has his moments this season, but he's not much of a fantasy […]

Joe Ryan Strikes Out Career-High 11 Batters In Win

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan put together one of the most impressive performances of his young career in Wednesday's win over the Cubs. Ryan pitched five innings, allowing just two runs on three hits with one walk issued. The right-hander struck out a career-high 11 batters, generating 13 whiffs, with 10 of them coming […]

Janson Junk Struggles In Four Innings

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Janson Junk (0-1) wasn't a factor in the decision Wednesday night during the 12-inning affair with the Houston Astros. He did struggle, though, pitching four innings, allowing three runs, one walk, two home runs, and he added a strikeout in the eventual 9-5 loss. Junk has only made three starts […]
