Mitch Haniger Held Without A Hit
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger didn't look like himself during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Competitive Receiving Corps to Avoid in 2021 Drafts
We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a wide receiver or tight end in a stacked offense (one featuring […]
