Kenta Maeda Fans Seven In Return From Injured List

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda was solid in his first start since being activated off the injured list Monday against the Seattle Mariners. Maeda pitched four innings, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out seven batters. The veteran righty induced 12 swinging strikes, eight of them on his off-speed […]

Collin Morikawa In Search Of Second Major Title

Collin Morikawa heads to this week's U.S. Open in search of his second major-championship title. Morikawa captured last year's PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park. The California kid will attempt to pull of another major victory in his home state this week at Torrey Pines. He's the best iron player on the PGA Tour by […]

Drew Steckenrider Locks Down First Save Sunday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider locked down his first save of the year Sunday, throwing a perfect ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins. He didn't strike out any batters. Steckenrider benefitted from Kendall Graveman's unavailability in this one, as Graveman had thrown in two consecutive games. Steckenrider is not expected to receive many more […]

Jason Castro Activated, Garrett Stubbs Optioned

Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro (Achilles) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He has been sidelined since late May due to left Achilles soreness. He was able to get through his rehab assignment without any issues and will return to the Astros now. Castro won't have great upside in fantasy formats […]

Marco Gonzales Solid In Five Innings Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales made his longest start since returning from the injured list on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, lasting five innings and throwing 91 pitches. He gave up three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five batters. Gonzales is worth rostering for now, but he'll have to […]

Jake Bauers Hits Game-Winning Homer Monday

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers came through in the bottom of the eighth inning Monday, delivering a solo home run that gave Seattle the lead over the Minnesota Twins for good. It was Bauers' third home run of the year, and his only hit in the contest. Bauers has an .807 OPS in five […]

Justin Thomas Looks To Regain Form At Torrey Pines

It has been something of an up-and-down year for the ultra-talented Justin Thomas. He kicked off the year with some off-the-course issues before rebounding to win The Players Championship in March. Thomas has mostly disappointed since that victory at TPC Sawgrass and has failed to log a top-10 result in six subsequent starts. His struggles […]

Dylan Moore Triples Home A Run

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore delivered an RBI triple against the Minnesota Twins in the fifth inning Monday that pulled Seattle into a tie at three. The triple was Moore's only hit in four at-bats. In three games since returning from the injured list, Moore is 4-for-13 with three extra-base hits and one stolen […]

Brandon Crawford Hits 15th Homer Of Season Monday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford was at it again in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks. The veteran went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run (his 15th of the season), three RBI, and a strikeout. Crawford has been a huge fantasy value to this point and now owns a .257/.341/.545 slash line […]

Ty France Reaches Twice, Drives In A Run Monday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and an RBI Sunday against the Minnesota Twins. France now has an excellent .406 OBP over his last seven games, and has looked much better since returning from the injured list on May 24. He is still stuck on three home runs […]

Jon Rahm Set To Return To Action At Torrey Pines

After a gut-wrenching situation at the Memorial two weeks ago, Jon Rahm is set to return to action in this week's U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. Rahm was the 54-hole leader at Memorial but was forced to withdraw - and basically forfeit a win - due to a pair of positive COVID-19 tests. The Spaniard […]

Jake Fraley Gets On Base In All Four PA's Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley led the way to a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins Monday, going 2-for-2 with two walks, a run, and an RBI. Fraley's 14 RBI since June 3 lead the majors in that time, and his .493 OBP, 28.8 percent walk rate, and 14.5 percent chase rate all lead the […]

Tyler Rogers Earns 11th Hold Of Season Monday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tyler Rogers pitched a scoreless eighth inning in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks, earning his 11th hold of the season. Rogers allowed two hits and no walks with no strikeouts. Rogers has seen more of the save opportunities lately, but teammate Jake McGee got this one. Rogers is an […]

Anthony Rendon Exits Early Monday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (triceps) was unable to play all the way through Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears Rendon suffered a triceps injury while diving in the field. He exited the game shortly after that and the team is likely to reveal more information on Tuesday. It wouldn't be […]

Jake McGee Earns 13th Save Of Season Monday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee shut the door in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks, earning his 13th save of the season. McGee entered the game to pitch the ninth inning up by three and pitched a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout to end the game. The veteran is now in the top-10 […]

Zack Littell To Serve As Opener Again

San Francisco Giants pitcher Zack Littell will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He threw a scoreless frame last Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. Sammy Long was impressive during his debut and this formula is likely something the Giants continue to use. Long appears to be an interesting streaming choice […]

Ryan Weathers Comes On In Relief Monday

San Diego Padres pitcher Ryan Weathers tossed three innings of relief Monday against the Colorado Rockies, allowing one earned run on three hits. Weathers earned five consecutive starts prior to this appearance as the Friars moved to a temporary six-man rotation, but reverted to swingman as starter Dinelson Lamet completed just four frames. The 21-year-old […]

Chad Pinder Avoids Concussion After HBP In Head

Oakland Athletics outfielder Chad Pinder (head) is not in concussion protocol after being hit in the head with a pitch on Monday. Pinder was hit with an 82-MPH splitter from Angels reliever Junior Guerra and immediately removed from the game. The 29-year-old has had concussions in the past so the team will be careful with […]

Lance McCullers Jr. To Start On Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (shoulder) will rejoin the rotation versus the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. He allowed one run over four innings of work during his rehab start. McCullers has been sharp this season and should be rostered in most fantasy formats. However, it sounds like the plan is Jake Odorizzi follows […]

Luke Voit Continues Rehab Assignment On Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) will continue his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. The slugging first baseman played his first rehab game on Sunday and will stay with the organization throughout the week. Voit is working his way back from a Grade 2 oblique strain. The hope is that Voit […]

Brock Stassi Signs Minor League Deal With Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Brock Stassi has signed a minor league deal with the organization. He was originally drafted by the Phillies in 2011, but never did much during his time on the major league club. Stassi has bounced around to different organizations, but has never made a significant impact at the MLB level. He'll […]

Alex Wood Back On Track With Monday Win

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Wood had a nice bounce-back start in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks. Wood pitched six innings, allowing two runs on four hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with seven strikeouts. Wood's previous three starts had been relatively poor after a hot start to the season, […]

Lou Trivino Picks Up Save Number 11

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino pitched a clean ninth inning with one strikeout to earn his 11th save of the season Monday against the Angels. Trivino has now earned the last five saves for Oakland as he appears to be the reliever to roster in this bullpen. Jake Diekman, who pitched the eighth inning […]

Sean Manaea Picks Up Sixth Win Of Season Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea allowed just one run across 5 2/3 innings Monday against the Angels to earn his sixth victory of the season. Manaea allowed nine hits and a walk, but was able to escape damage while getting eight runs of support from his offense. The left-hander has been dominant lately as […]

Rhys Hoskins Extends Hitless Streak To 28 Plate Appearances

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday. Hoskins will need a map around the bases next time he gets a hit as the big first baseman is now hitless in his last 28 plate appearances and is batting just .238 this season. The […]

Jorge Soler Reaches Base Four Times On Monday

Kansas City Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler had one of his best offensive games of the year against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. Soler went 3-four-4 with a double, a walk and an RBI in the game. It was just his second multi-hit game since May 11. Soler has had a dreadful year overall, but […]

Whit Merrifield Goes For Three Hits On Monday

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield had a strong day at the plate in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored. Merrifield had a rough go of things at the plate in May, slashing .229/.311/.343 with just one home run. June has […]

Brad Keller Hammered By Tigers On Monday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller was hit hard by the Detroit Tigers on Monday. Keller pitched five innings and allowed eight hits, one walk and seven runs (six earned) while striking out five. He was tagged with the loss and dropped to 6-6 on the year.
