Frank Schwindel Hits Seventh Home Run

Chicago Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Minnesota Twins.

Zach Davies Files Away Another Outing Under Five Innings

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies once again failed to get through five innings in Tuesday's no-decision versus the Minnesota Twins. The veteran allowed six hits, one run, zero walks and struck out three over 4 1/3 innings. Although his outing wasn't that bad, he continues to be unreliable with limited innings. For the season, […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps for 2021

Since offensive linemen don’t generate fantasy points, a lot of fantasy gamers overlook their impact when it comes to drafts. However, knowing the talent at the offensive line can be crucial when you start making decisions between players at a certain tier or in a certain round. While talent on the offensive line is important, […]

Andrew McCutchen Posts Big Game Versus Nats On Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two walks in a win over the Nationals on Wednesday.

Justin Jackson Returns To Practice Tuesday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has missed most of training camp with a groin injury.

Alex Collins Makes The Final Cut

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins was one of the team's five running backs to survive the final cut down to 53 players. Collins ran well during the team's preseason games, and he's also the most suitable replacement in the event that starter Chris Carson misses any time as they have very similar playstyles. Collins […]

Bobby Bradley Homers Tuesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Bobby Bradley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. Bradley started his season hot by smashing eight home runs in the month of June but has struggled since by posting just a .630 OPS in July. He just came off the IL […]

Jacob Harris Makes The Roster

Los Angeles Rams tight end Jacob Harris has been one of the more interesting stories during the preseason across the league. He doesn't have the speed to be a wide receiver, and he's not quite big enough to be a pure tight end. However, he has shown the flashes to be a mismatch creator for […]

Jake Funk Survives Final Roster Cuts

Los Angeles Rams running back Jake Funk was in a hotly contested battle for the team's third running back spot behind Darrell Henderson Jr. and Sony Michel with former teammate Xavier Jones. Funk had been the better of the two runners in the preseason, but it was still not a guarantee that he was going […]

Zach Plesac Fans Seven Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac struck out seven Kansas City Royals over seven innings of work while allowing two hits and no earned runs in a 7-2 victory Tuesday night.
