Trevor Story Goes Deep In Win Over The Cards

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in a 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday. This game was a pitcher's duel through the first six innings on Saturday as neither team was able to get on the scoreboard. The Rockies drew first blood when Story swatted a clutch three-run homer […]

Daniel Bard Gets The Save On Saturday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Daniel Bard earned the save on Saturday when he allowed one hit and one walk with two strikeouts over a scoreless ninth inning in a 3-2 win over the Cardinals. Bard was able to notch his 12th save of the season but it wasn't without drama. He walked Paul DeJong to start […]

Kyle Freeland Doesn't Allow A Run In No-Decision

Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland took a no-decision on Saturday when he allowed three hits and three walks with three strikeouts over six innings in a 3-2 win over the Cardinals. Freeland put up his best start of the season on Saturday against the Cards, scattering three hits and three walks over his six innings […]

James Karinchak Posts Fifth Straight Scoreless Outing

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher James Karinchak allowed two walks while striking out three in 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief against the Astros on Saturday. It was his fifth straight scoreless outing, as he has allowed one hit and six walks while striking out seven over 5 2/3 innings of work. His 14.2 percent walk […]

Teoscar Hernandez Continues Recent Hot Streak On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his recent hot streak on Saturday, as he went 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 6-3 win over the Rays on Saturday. His performance in the win now has him slashing .313/.328/.469 with one home run, one steal, seven RBI and eight runs scored over his last […]

Mitch Moreland Leaves Game Early On Saturday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Mitch Moreland left Saturday's game without making a plate appearance due to a non-baseball issue, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Manager Bob Melvin said he would not expand further on what that means, other than to say that Moreland will not be available to play on Sunday. Moreland should be […]

Clayton Kershaw Picks Up No-Decision

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw picked up a no-decision on Saturday versus the Washington Nationals. Kershaw's start was cut short with a rain delay after the fourth inning. The lefty would finish with a line of three hits, three runs, one walk and three strikeouts in four innings. Kershaw was cruising for most […]

Luis Severino Throws Off Pen Mound Saturday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow, groin) threw off a bullpen mound on Saturday. More progress is being made by the 27-year-old, who last appeared for the big club in 2019 due to Tommy John surgery and a strained groin suffered during rehab. Severino has a 3.46 ERA and a 42-26 record throughout […]

Josh Naylor Has Successful Surgery

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor (ankle) underwent successful surgery on Friday. The procedure involved repairing multiple fractures and torn ligaments in his right ankle, and it comes after the 24-year-old collided with teammate Ernie Clement during a loss to the Twins a week ago. Naylor has played well enough this season. However, fantasy managers without […]

Yasmani Grandal “Feeling Fine”

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (calf) reported that he is "feeling fine" while also indicating that he sat out on Saturday "just to be safe." The 32-year-old veteran exited Friday's series opener against the Tigers because of right calf tightness, and while he is considered day-to-day, there is a chance he may be available […]

Nico Hoerner Could Return On Sunday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (hamstring) could be reinstated ahead of the series finale against the Reds. The 24-year-old has been out for nearly five weeks after suffering a left hamstring strain. He is now with the team in Cincinnati after spending time at Triple-A Iowa, so things are looking promising regarding his availability on […]

Logan Webb To Throw 45 Pitches On Sunday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) is scheduled to throw 45 pitches during a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. Webb continues to increase his activity level after he most recently logged a 30-pitch session on Thursday. The 24-year-old has battled shoulder issues throughout the year and has landed on the injured […]

Rhys Hoskins Busts Out Of Slump Versus Padres

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a homer, a double, and two RBI in a win over the Padres on Saturday. Hoskins and Bryce Harper launched back-to-back homers against Padres' ace Yu Darvish to get the home team on the board in the second inning. Hoskins wasn't done there, as he drove […]

Kevin Plawecki Ramping Up Activities

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (hamstring) has recently resumed running while also performing baseball activities. The 30-year-old has been out of commission for a few weeks now because of a left hamstring strain. However, Plawecki doesn't have much value, primarily since he has split time with Christian Vazquez this season. While that could change […]

Bryce Harper Launches Another Solo Home Run

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and two strikeouts in a win over the Padres on Saturday. Harper deposited a Yu Darvish fastball into the second deck at Citizens Bank Park that Statcast measured at a healthy 113.5 MPH off the bat. Harper also drove in a run […]

Maikel Franco Doesn’t Start On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco (ankle) didn't start on Saturday night against the Angels. Franco didn't play on Friday either, and he is currently considered day-to-day after rolling his ankle during Wednesday's affair against the Houston Astros. Domingo Leyba should continue to fill the void until he returns. However, with a .098 average this […]

Zach Eflin Tosses Six Strong Innings Versus Friars

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin allowed two runs on three hits across six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday. Eflin had a rough first inning as he needed 28 pitches to complete the frame and served up a towering home run to Manny Machado. The 27-year-old righty settled down after that, […]

Cesar Valdez Could Be Activated On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Cesar Valdez (back) could be activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Although it also could be sometime after that, the veteran is nearing a return after spending time on the IL with a lower back strain. However, Valdez isn't worth much from a fantasy standpoint, primarily after his role […]

Archie Bradley Tosses Clean Inning To Earn Hold

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Archie Bradley pitched a scoreless eighth inning versus the Padres to earn a hold on Saturday. Bradley needed just 13 pitches in an efficient outing that has been rare for Philadelphia this season. The Phillies have blown 22 saves this season, six more than the next-closest team. Bradley has closing experience […]

Ketel Marte Takes At-Bats

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) took at-bats during a practice session on Friday. Although he hasn't been running, it appears as if he is moving in the right direction after being diagnosed with a left hamstring strain nearly a week ago. The 27-year-old is batting .370 this season, so fantasy managers are certainly eagerly […]

Ranger Suarez Earns First Save For Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ranger Suarez pitched a clean ninth inning to earn his first save of the season. Suarez faced the heart of the Padres' batting order with a two-run lead and got through the outing without issue while picking up a strikeout. The right-hander hadn't earned a save at any level since rookie-ball […]

Bruce Zimmermann Has Timetable Pushed Back

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Bruce Zimmermann (biceps) will have his recovery timetable pushed back at least a week or two. Zimmermann has been on the shelf after being diagnosed with biceps tendinitis a few weeks ago. The 26-year-old has struggled this season, so it's likely fantasy managers aren't missing him much anyway, currently owning a […]

Evan Longoria Expected To Return Right After The All-Star Break

San Francisco Giants' third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) could return around the third week of July. He's been sidelined since June 5 with a left shoulder sprain. The 35-year-old took dry swings and played catch on Friday. The player known as "Longo" was impressive before landing on the 10-day injured list, slashing .280/.376/.516 with nine […]

Tommy La Stella Could Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

San Francisco Giants' second baseman Tommy La Stella (hand/hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment during the All-Star break. He's been sidelined since the beginning of May with a left hamstring strain. The 32-year-old also sustained a small fracture in his throwing hand during a rehab assignment in late June. Barring any setbacks, La Stella could […]
