Giannis Antetokounmpo Not On The Injury Report

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Freak hyperextended his left knee during the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. However, after he was initially listed as doubtful for Game 1 against Phoenix, he managed to suit up, finishing […]

Whit Merrifield Goes Hitless In Defeat

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in a 5-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Merrifield and the Royals couldn't get much done against Reds starter Sonny Gray as they mustered just two runs on eight hits as a team. Merrifield has been slumping over his last seven […]

Dario Saric Out Indefinitely

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (knee) is out indefinitely. Saric suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. His status for the regular season, which begins in October, is currently up in the air, although it wouldn't be surprising if he weren't available. Throughout 50 games of 2020-21 […]

Anthony Bender Earns His First Win

Miami Marlins rookie relief pitcher Anthony Bender picked up his first major league win in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. More important than the win was the fact that Bender was used as the closer, coming into a one-run lead in the ninth inning. Yimi Garcia has been closing for the Marlins for […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Smacks Homer In Blowout Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has been overshadowed due to how well some of the young stars in the game are playing right now. However, Acuna should not be overlooked and continues to show his excellence. He went 3-for-5 with a home run, one RBI, and one walk in the win over the Pittsburgh […]

J.T. Realmuto Picks Up A Pair Of Hits In Loss

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a run scored in an 8-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.

J.D. Martinez Triples And Scores A Run

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez hit a triple Wednesday, a rare feat for the slugger who is not generally regarded as being fleet of foot. It was his only hit in three at-bats, though he also walked and scored a run in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez now has three […]

Drew Smyly Escapes Trouble In Victory

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly was not sharp on Wednesday but pitched well enough to help get the win for his team. He tossed five innings, allowing nine hits, three earned runs, three walks and four strikeouts. Smyly was able to limit the damage, but this was obviously a below-average outing for him. He'll […]

Ryan Mountcastle Plates Run Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Ryan Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a single, an RBI, and two strikeouts in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Blue Jays. The 24-year-old got off to an extremely slow start to the season but has turned things around nicely and is now slashing .257/.301/.453 with 14 home runs and 48 RBI. Fantasy […]

Justin Turner Remains Hot With Three More Hits

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner continued his impressive first half with a 3-for-4 performance in Wednesday's loss. Turner hit the third of three home runs in the top of the third inning and it was a big one with two men on base. Turner has been on fire to start July and is […]

Christian Arroyo Has Two More Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo recorded two more hits Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Arroyo has shown no rust in his two games back from the injured list, and would appear to have the starting second base job locked up for the time being. He has a .258/.319/.439 […]

Jordan Holloway Shines Out Of The Bullpen On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie pitcher Jordan Holloway was excellent out of the bullpen in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. In a Don Mattingly managed bullpen game, Holloway followed opener Ross Detwiler after Detwiler was left in to give up five runs in just 2 2/3 innings. Holloway settled everything down immediately though, and provided […]

Trey Mancini Doubles Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a strikeout in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Mancini got off to a very hot start to the season, but is batting just .217 with four home runs and 11 RBI since June. That being said, he has 15 […]

AJ Pollock Goes Yard In Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss versus the Miami Marlins. Pollock's home run was the first of three hit by the Dodgers in the top of the third inning. Health has always been the biggest issue for Pollock, but he is capable of helping across […]

Cody Bellinger Continues To Struggle

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in a 9-6 loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Bellinger has really been struggling at the dish since his return from the injured list. He is just 2-for-23 (.087/.185/.087) with one RBI over the last seven games. For the season, […]

Matt Harvey's Season Struggles Continue Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Matt Harvey fell to 3-10 in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Harvey pitched 3 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on nine hits and a walk with three strikeouts.

Xander Bogaerts With Three Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had three of Boston's nine hits Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. Bogaerts is in the midst of a minor power outage, as he hasn't homered since June 15, but he has doubled 10 times since then and was robbed of a home […]

Alec Mills Snags Fourth Victory

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Alec Mills recorded his fourth victory of the season on Wednesday versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Mills went 5 2/3 innings and allowed five hits, three runs, one walk and struck out five. Mills started the season out of the bullpen and was expected to lose his spot in the rotation when […]

Jesus Aguilar Walks It Off On Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar had a big day at the dish, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI, and a strikeout in a 9-6 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday. He picked up his first hit, an RBI double, in the bottom of the third inning. He would have plated […]

Mookie Betts Hits 11th Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts went 1-for-5 with a solo homer run in Wednesday's loss versus the Miami Marlins. Betts dealt with injuries earlier in the season and he hasn't been putting up the superstar numbers that managers expected coming into the season. The talented outfielder is now hitting .246 with 11 home runs, […]

Joey Gallo Hits A Pair Of Homers

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo has been unbelievable at the plate over the last few weeks. On Wednesday, Gallo smacked a pair of home runs in the loss to the Detroit Tigers. He went 2-for-3 in the game and drew a bases loaded walk as well. Gallo has hit 23 home runs on the season, […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Undone By Bloops And Blasts Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez closed out his first half Wednesday, and it did not go as well as he would have liked. He allowed four runs on nine hits and no walks to the Los Angeles Angels in five innings while striking out five. Much of the damage early came on bloop […]

Kyle Gibson Has Mediocre Outing On Wednesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson did not have much success against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. He tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing eight hits, five earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts. To be fair, three of the runs charged to Gibson were after he exited the game. It wasn't the best way to […]

Leury Garcia Comes Up Big In Victory

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia put together a big performance in Wednesday's win versus the Minnesota Twins. Garcia went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, three RBI, a triple and two-run home run. Garcia has been playing all over the diamond for the White Sox and he has become a staple in the lineup. Garcia […]

Kris Bryant Dealing With Hamstring Issue

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) was removed from Wednesday's contest against the Phillies. The veteran was dealing with tightness in his right hamstring, and Patrick Wisdom subsequently replaced him in the top of the fourth inning as a result. With the All-Streak break up ahead, it wouldn't be unreasonable […]

Cavan Biggio Doubles Twice In Win

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Cavan Biggio hit a pair of doubles on Wednesday as his club went on to defeat the Orioles 10-2. The 26-year-old also chipped in with a sacrifice fly to finish his day going 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. It's been a disappointing season for Biggio who thrived […]

Bo Bichette Drives In Three On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette had a terrific day at the plate on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 as his club went on to a 10-2 rout over the Orioles. The 23-year-old scored two runs and drove in three with an RBI single in the fourth and a two-run homer in the sixth to bring his […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Notches Eighth Win

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed one run over five innings of work on Wednesday as his club went on to defeat the Orioles 10-2.

Justus Sheffield Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday night. The move comes after the southpaw was routed by the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing six runs and five hits while walking three batters. The 25-year-old is currently sitting on an unimpressive 6.48 ERA and an equally hideous 5-8 […]
