Statcast Hitter Risers, Fallers - xwOBA Rolling Windows

After an insane trade deadline that saw pretty much everybody in the league changes teams (hyperbole intended), we must collect ourselves and focus on the numbers again. The intent of this series is to identify the top risers and fallers for various Statcast metrics each week, not focus on the players who are in the […]

Max Scherzer to the Dodgers - Fantasy Impact

Max Scherzer made it to southern California by the trade deadline — but it wasn't to the team everyone had expected. After early reports said he was heading to the Padres, hours later suddenly the story flipped to Scherzer going to Los Angeles, and next thing you know not only was Scherzer joining the Dodgers, […]

Emmanuel Clase Earns 14th Save Monday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase earned his 14th save of the season in Monday's 5-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays by throwing a perfect 10th inning. Clase did not strike anyone out but still nailed down the save and will carry a 1.81 ERA with 47 strikeouts in 44 2/3 innings pitched. He […]

Freddie Freeman Slashing .289/.393/.501 After Strong July

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was lagging in the batting average department in the early going this year. He was hitting just .235 by the end of May and he had a .261/.368/.474 slash line when the calendar turned to July. However, he went on to have his best all-around month at the plate […]

Eli Morgan Strikes Out Nine Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan pitched six innings of two-run ball while allowing five hits, one walk, and striking out nine. It was the second time this season Morgan was able to strike out nine opposing hitters, however, he has still been inconsistent at the Major League level as he now has a 6.75 […]

Chris Archer Removed From Sunday’s Rehab Start

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer (forearm) was removed from Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Durham due to hip soreness. The 32-year-old allowed three unearned runs on two hits and no walks across one inning before exiting after 31 pitches. He was expected to throw around 75 pitches on Sunday but was removed from the […]

Shed Long Jr. Placed On Injured List With Shin Injury

The Seattle Mariners placed second baseman/outfielder Shed Long Jr. (shin) on the 10-day injured list on Monday. Outfielder Jake Fraley was activated from the COVID list in a corresponding move. Long is dealing with a right shin stress reaction, the same injury that brought his 2020 season to an end and required offseason surgery. The […]

Luis Severino Sent To Double-A For Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (groin) is being sent out on a rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. The plan is for Severino to throw between 40 and 50 pitches in his first rehab outing. Severino is recovering from a Grade 2 right groin strain, which he suffered while working his way […]

John Axford Leaves Monday's Game With An Elbow Injury

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher John Axford (elbow) was removed in the ninth inning of Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with an elbow injury. Axford, who was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, was making his first MLB appearance since 2018 in the game. He struggled immensely in the outing, allowing two hits, […]

Gio Urshela Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

The New York Yankees placed third baseman Gio Urshela (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Monday night due to a hamstring strain. The move is retroactive to Sunday, August 1. Urshela was held out of the lineup for each of the team's last four games, so it's not very surprising that he was moved to […]

Randy Arozarena Goes Yard On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 8-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners. He took Chris Flexen deep in the fourth inning for his 15th long ball of the season. The 26-year-old has been an offensive force recently and has now logged eight multi-hit efforts in each […]

Jazz Chisholm Scores A Run On Monday

Miami Marlins rookie infielder Jazz Chisholm got two hits and scored a run in Monday's 6-3 win over the New York Mets. Jazz led off for the Marlins and went 2-for-4 with two singles and a run scored, improving his batting average to .254 and his OPS to .747. It seems like Chisholm will hit […]

Alex Jackson Gets His First Start As A Marlin

Miami Marlins catcher Alex Jackson got his first start as a Marlin on Monday against the New York Mets. Jackson was acquired from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Adam Duvall before the trade deadline. Jackson has posted solid numbers in the minor leagues throughout his career, but it has yet to transfer even slightly […]

Lewis Brinson Drives In Five Runs On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson had a huge game on Monday, driving in five runs. The Marlins showed their faith in Brinson by having him bat fourth, and he delivered right away, hitting a grand slam in the first inning. He added a single and another RBI later, scoring two runs on the night. Brinson's […]

Dylan Floro Earns A Save On Monday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro earned his third save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the New York Mets. Floro becomes the first Marlins pitcher to record a save since the team traded closer Yimi Garcia to the Houston Astros before the trade deadline. Floro got four outs, pitching the final 1 […]

Jesus Luzardo Earns A Win In His First Marlins Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo earned a win in his first start as a Marlin on Monday. Facing the New York Mets, Luzardo pitched five innings, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five. Luzardo struggled a little with his control, throwing 47 of his 84 pitches for […]

Jesus Luzardo Earns Win In Marlins Debut

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo earned his third win of the season after going five innings against the New York Mets on Monday in his debut start for the club. The 23-year-old managed to strike out five and get through five innings, despite giving up four hits, walking three, and recording only 47 strikes […]

Pete Alonso Hits Another Homer Monday

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso continued his hot second half Monday, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run against the Miami Marlins. The solo shot came off of newly acquired Marlins starter Jesus Luzardo. Alonso now has 24 homers on the season, with seven of those coming in his last 15 games. He's […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returning To South Beach

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon will remain in South Beach after agreeing to a one-year deal on Monday evening. Dedmon will stay behind Bam Adebayo on the depth chart, so he doesn't have much fantasy value, even in deeper formats. The 31-year-old averaged 7.1 points and 5.4 rebounds throughout 16 games last season and should […]

Cedric Mullins Homers, Swipes Two Bags Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins played a big part in Monday's 7-1 win over the Yankees. Mullins went 2-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, a strikeout, and two stolen bases. The 26-year-old All-Star has done it all this season, slashing .322/.385/.549 with 18 HR, 37 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. He has been […]

Tylor Megill Endures First Career Loss

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill looked nearly invincible in July, but the Miami Marlins managed to touch him up for four runs in the first inning of his first start in August. All in all, Megill allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out […]

Josiah Gray Goes Five Strong In Nationals Debut

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Josiah Gray gave up one earned run over five innings and took a no-decision in Washington's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. The 23-year-old gave up four hits and walked two while striking out two over 71 pitches in his debut start for the Nationals. The newly acquired National was […]

Andrew Stevenson Homers As A Pinch-Hitter

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson appeared as a pinch-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies Monday and smacked a game-tying home run in his only at-bat. Stevenson has supplied an unimpressive .612 OPS with three homers and one steal in 128 at-bats as a bench bat this year, and it appears that even the recent trade deadline […]

Richaun Holmes Remaining With The Kings

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes has agreed to a four-year deal worth $55 million to remain with the team. Although he was looking for more, it was apparently enough to keep him from going elsewhere. The 27-year-old averaged 14.2 points, 8.3 boards, and 1.6 blocks throughout 61 games last season. Fantasy managers should be concerned […]
