Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (6-2) gave up two runs on five hits and struck out six over seven innings, but he took the loss Wednesday against Cincinnati. Two of the five hits Peralta allowed were RBI doubles, which accounted for the runs he gave up. The young right-hander hasn't allowed more than two […]

Hey RotoBallers! Hope all is well in your world. Unfortunately it's the same old song and dance over here after Week 11. Six out of the seven days last week were what I would call "productive" in that I either profited some or broke even on a play or two that could've swung either way. […]

Greetings RotoBallers! We have two early games and then eight games on top for the nightly slate. If you are playing the afternoon games, I'd load up on Orioles. They have been a sneaky offense all year. I'm also tempted to go back to the Giants as they helped me win nearly 10x my investment […]

Ty France Has Three-Game Double Streak

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France doubled for the third consecutive game Wednesday night, going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored. France is finally showing signs of the player who tore up the Cactus League this spring, slashing .360/.433/.600 over his last seven games. He's locked into the middle of the Seattle lineup, […]

Mitch Haniger Scores A Run In Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger returned to the lineup Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins after missing two consecutive games. He batted in the third spot and went 1-for-4 with a run scored. Fantasy managers were surely pleased to see Haniger back so quickly, and he'll look to pick up where he left off before […]

Justus Sheffield Allows Seven Runs Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield had a difficult time Wednesday night, allowing seven runs on ten hits and two walks to the Minnesota Twins. He struck out four batters and took the loss, dropping his season record to 5-6. Sheffield has a 5.51 ERA and 1.65 WHIP for the season. There really aren't any […]

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez scored two runs Wednesday night, going 2-for-5 with a double against the Atlanta Braves. Martinez has posted a relatively disappointing .740 OPS over his past 30 games, but he has not put together a seven-game hit streak, and has reached base in 11 of his past 12 contests. […]

Xander Bogaerts Records Three Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had yet another big game Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with three doubles, two runs, and an RBI. Bogaerts has produced an outstanding .360/.452/.880 slash line with three home runs over his last seven games. He now has 33 extra-base hits on the season, and is making a case that he […]

Rafael Devers Gets On Base Three Times Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers reached base three times Wednesday night, going 1-for-3 with two walks, a run, and an RBI. Devers has been seeing the ball very well of late, slashing .379/.419/.621 over his past seven games. There's simply no way fantasy managers could justify taking Devers out of the lineup, even […]

Hunter Renfroe Drives In Two Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe drove in two runs Wednesday, going 2-for-5 against the Atlanta Braves with a double and a run scored. Renfroe now has had two hits in back-to-back games, and has produced an .891 OPS over his last seven games after an equally torrid June. Though known as a power-only fantasy […]

Christian Arroyo Hits Pinch-Hit Grand Slam

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo played the hero once again Wednesday night, pinch-hitting with the bases loaded and producing a go-ahead grand slam. The home run, Arroyo's fourth of the season, put the Red Sox ahead for good. Arroyo is slugging .619 over his last seven games, and has home runs in three […]

Christian Vazquez Exits With Stomach Illness

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez (illness) left Wednesday night's game early, and was replaced by fellow backstop Kevin Plawecki. It was later reported that this was not the result of any injury, but that he had been experiencing a "stomach illness." He was 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored before exiting. Fantasy […]

Adam Ottavino Collects Fourth Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino collected his fourth save of the year Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits to the Atlanta Braves in a 10-8 victory.

Cristian Javier Strikes Out Two In Two Innings Of Relief

Houston Astros relief pitcher Cristian Javier allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over two innings of work in an 8-4 win over the Rangers on Wednesday night. He's now posted a 2.77 ERA over 13 innings of work since being bumped to the bullpen, and has recorded a […]

Garrett Richards Knocked Out After Four Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Richards allowed six runs Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves, four of which were earned. He lasted just four innings and gave up seven hits and a walk in four innings in an outing where his spin rates were noticeably down. He did strike out three batters. With a 1.61 […]

Victor Robles Continues To Struggle, Goes Hitless In Win

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles continued his recent struggles on Wednesday, going 0-for-4 at the plate in a 3-1 victory over the Pirates. It's been a rough go of things as of late for Robles, as he is now slashing .186/.327/.302 with three steals, two RBI and seven runs scored over his last 15 games. […]

Ozzie Albies Goes Hitless In Loss Wednesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in a 10-8 loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday. It marked the third time in his last six games he has gone hitless, but that hasn't stopped him from putting up solid numbers recently, as he is slashing .295/.358/.443 with three steals, 12 […]

Andrelton Simmons Exits With Ankle Tightness

Minnesota Twins shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) exited Wednesday night's game due to left ankle tightness, according to Phil Miller of the Star Tribune. There's no word yet on the severity or how long it may cost him, but managers aren't in a huge rush for his return as he's been scuffling along this season with […]

Josh Donaldson Exits Wednesday With Calf Tightness

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) exited Wednesday night's game due to tightness in his right calf, according to Phil Miller of the Star Tribune. The move was described as precautionary, as it was a right calf issue that cost him several games last season. Donaldson has been pretty solid at the plate this […]

Alex Bregman Could Be Out A While With Quad Strain

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (quad) could be facing a lengthy absence with a left quad strain, according to Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle. Manager Dusty Baker said that the severity of Bregman's injury is not yet known, but he added that, "it looks like we've lost Bregman for a while". He will […]

Keegan Akin Gets Rocked In Wednesday Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Keegan Akin fell to 0-2 in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Indians. Akin pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing all eight runs on eight hits (including a solo home run) and three walks with seven strikeouts.

Jake Cronenworth Pops Pinch-Hit Homer

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth stung a pinch-hit solo home run Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Cronenworth interrupted his off day by rounding the bases in the sixth frame, staying in the contest to finish 1-for-2. The 27-year-old's numbers have dipped of late, hitting just .216 in June (11-for-51) with three extra-base hits. […]

Anthony Santander Pinch Hits Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander went 0-for-1 with a strikeout in a pinch-hit appearance in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Indians. Santander has not performed as well as fantasy managers have probably hoped for, slashing .250/.278/.412 with a 3.2% walk rate and a 25.8% strikeout rate. His walk rate and slugging percentage are the lowest […]
