Mitch Haniger Held Without A Hit

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger didn't look like himself during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts at the plate during Thursday's 4-1 defeat. It was a frustrating day for the Mariners who managed just four total hits in this one. Despite a rough day at the plate, Haniger is […]

Kris Bryant Gets Pitch Hit Appearance On Thursday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) got back onto the field during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, but this was a positive sign. He came off the bench and recorded a walk in a pinch hit appearance versus lefty T.J. McFarland. Sadly, it […]

Dodgers Intrigued With Ian Kennedy

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy could be on the move within the next week or so. The veteran closer is one of the few trade pieces that Texas has to offer right now. The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly shown interest in acquiring Kennedy. This season, Kennedy has a 2.59 ERA and 33/7 K/BB […]

Joc Pederson Struggles On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson was unable to get much going at the plate during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. In fact, Pederson went 0-for-5 at the plate versus lefty Matt Moore. To be fair, Pederson does not hit left pitching well, so this wasn't an ideal matchup for him. He has already shown […]

Orlando Arcia Smacks Solo Blast In Victory

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia has struggled during a majority of his time with the big league club. However, he finally had something go his way during Thursday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Matt Moore in the fourth inning. It was Arcia's second home run […]

Max Muncy To Be Placed On Paternity Leave List

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy will be placed on the paternity leave list ahead of Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. His wife is due to give birth to his first child, so he'll leave to go be with her. Muncy won't be available for the weekend series, so fantasy managers can take him […]

Ronald Torreyes Reaches Four Times In Loss To Braves

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Ronald Torreyes had a perfect day at the plate on Thursday, going 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in a loss to Atlanta. Torreyes has filled in admirably at the hot corner, but his days as a starter are numbered as Alec Bohm (COVID) is starting a rehab assignment […]

Matt Moore Allows Six Runs To Braves

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Matt Moore allowed six runs in six innings in a loss to the Braves on Thursday. Moore actually wasn't terrible in this one aside from one inning that culminated with a grand slam off the bat of Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson. All the runs count, however, and Moore's ERA rose to […]

Andrew Heaney Looks Sharp Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (6-7) pitched well in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Minnesota Twins. He threw seven innings while giving up two runs, two walks, no home runs and striking out seven while securing the victory. His biggest issue this year has been the long ball, so it's a good sign […]

Mark Canha Reaches Base Four Times Versus Mariners Thursday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha went 2-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Mariners on Thursday. The A's look like a completely different lineup with Canha back in the leadoff spot after he missed a little over a month with a hip injury. The veteran outfielder has a strong […]

Michael Thomas To Miss The Start Of The 2021 Season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) underwent surgery to repair the ligaments in his ankle last month. Four months of recovery are recommended after the surgery, which means Thomas is likely to be sidelined for several weeks at the start of the 2021 season. This news will certainly make Thomas's ADP drop significantly. […]

Adam Eaton Collects A Hit Thursday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Adam Eaton went 1-for-3 with a single and a run scored during Thursday night's victory against the Minnesota Twins. He's now gone 6-for-18 with a double and two runs since joining the Angels on July 14. Nonetheless, it's been a difficult year for Eaton at the plate. He's slashing .213/.300/.348 with […]

Sean Murphy Collects RBI In Win Over Mariners Thursday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in a win over the Mariners on Thursday. Murphy is batting a measly .217 this season, but has contributed in the RBI department with 45 on the season which ranks second among catchers. Murphy is making hard contact 35.8 percent of the time and […]

Zac Gallen Has Nice Matchup With Cubs Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen will have a nice matchup with the Chicago Cubs when he takes the mound in the series opener on Friday afternoon. The Cubs have struggled at the plate recently, as they are slashing .216/.307/.334 and averaging 3.7 runs per game over their last 10 games. On top of this, […]

Luis Patino Yields Four Runs In No-Decision

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Luis Patino allowed four earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision versus Cleveland on Thursday. He wasn't sharp on Thursday, and most of the damage off Patino came from a three-run blast by Franmil Reyes in the third inning. […]

Josh Rojas Not In Starting Lineup Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Josh Rojas (finger) is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener with the Cubs after dislocating his pinkie on a slide into second base on Wednesday. Rojas is still being evaluated and has not been placed on the injured list, but that may be coming. He's been a solid play in […]

Kenta Maeda Pitches Season-High Seven Innings In Loss

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda registered a quality start in Thursday's loss to the Angels. Maeda went a season-high seven innings, surrendering three runs on seven hits with no walks.
