Overall, he's got a .289/.335/.404 batting line to go along with five home runs, […]

James Harden Unlikely For Game 4

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is likely out on Sunday against Milwaukee.

Adam Engel Homers Friday Night

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday night's 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers.

Jose Alvarado's Control Makes Him Hard To Trust

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado is one of the best relievers in baseball when he's on, but bouts with wildness make the flame-thrower difficult to rely on in fantasy. Alvarado is among the hardest throwers in the game. His 100-plus MPH sinker is elite and almost always induces weak contact and ground balls when […]

Bobby Bradley Homers Again Friday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Bobby Bradley went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two walks in Friday night's 7-0 win over the Seattle Mariners. Bradley was batting fifth in this one for the second consecutive game and did not disappoint as he is now 5-for-13 with two home runs and six RBI since […]
