Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run scored in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Patrick Wisdom Dealing With Neck Tightness

Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom (neck) is considered day-to-day. The 29-year-old left Wednesday's matchup against the Brewers after a collision with Milwaukee outfielder Tyrone Taylor.

Steven Matz Shaky In Return To Mound

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz returned to the mound for the first time since landing on the COVID-19 injured list on June 13, and there was certainly some rust to shake off in Wednesday's tilt versus the Mariners.

Kole Calhoun Removed From Rehab Appearance

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was removed from Tuesday's contest at Triple-A Reno.

The 33-year-old was playing well before […]

Ian Anderson Has Upside Against The Mets

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson will be on the bump against the Mets on Thursday. While Anderson's efficiency hasn't been captured by his 5-4 record this season, his 3.42 ERA makes him a viable option in nearly all fantasy formats. In June, the righty played relatively well, sporting a 3.71 ERA while averaging over […]

Christian Yelich Disappoints Again On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich didn't play well during Wednesday's win over the Cubs. The 29-year-old went hitless against Chicago, going 0-for-5 while striking out three times.

Garrett Hampson Collects Four Hits On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Garrett Hampson went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in a 6-2 win over the Pirates on Wednesday. Hampson had himself a day at the dish, collecting four hits for the second time this season. He picked up an RBI double in the fifth inning and notched an RBI single […]

David Peterson Leaves With Trainer Wednesday

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson left his start on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves with head athletic trainer Brian Chicklo in the fourth inning and appeared to be favoring his side. Peterson might've been coming out of the game soon anyway, though, after he allowed six of his final seven batters to reach […]

Jon Gray Notches A Quality Start On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray earned the win on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on two hits with four walks and five strikeouts across six innings in a 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It was a busy day for the Washington Nationals in their 15-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.

Jonathan Taylor Is The Guy In Colts Backfield

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor's late-season surge in his rookie year made it obvious that he is the team's starter heading into 2021, and The Athletic's Zak Keefer expects Taylor to get the bulk of the carries. The team will have some plays scripted for Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines, but the running game […]

Trea Turner Hits For The Cycle On His Birthday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner gave himself a pretty nice birthday gift when he tripled in the sixth inning on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays to complete the cycle.
