Matt Barnes Records 19th Save Sunday
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes picked up yet another save Sunday, his 19th of the year and his third in the last week. He allowed no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Barnes has been used quite a lot this season, with 37 appearances already, and he's […]

Garrett Whitlock Records Eighth Hold Sunday
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock recorded his eighth hold of the year Sunday, allowing just one hit in a clean inning of work. He lowered his ERA to 1.54 in the process. The right-hander had a solid case to be an All-Star, but he'll have to settle for just being a very important […]

Nick Pivetta Strikes Out Ten In Gem Sunday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta pitched perhaps his best game of the year Sunday, throwing seven innings of shutout ball. He allowed just two hits and two walks to the Oakland Athletics while striking out ten batters. This comes on the heels of a no-hit outing over 6 2/3 innings just two starts […]

Alex Verdugo Doubles Twice In Win Sunday
Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo was the offensive standout Sunday, doubling twice in a tight 1-0 win over the Oakland Athletics. Verdugo went 2-for-3 with a walk and scored the game's only run. Entering Sunday's game, Verdugo had only collected eight extra-base hits since the start of June, so fantasy managers have to be […]

Kendall Graveman Earns Eighth Save In Perfect Frame
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman earned his eighth save of the season Sunday, throwing a perfect inning against the Texas Rangers. He struck out one batter. In a season as strong as Graveman's, it's somewhat shocking for him to have just eight saves. If he were used as a traditional closer his fantasy value […]

Chris Flexen Earns Seventh Win Sunday
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen earned a win on Sunday, increasing his record to 7-3 by throwing six innings and only allowing one run on four hits and no walks. He also struck out five batters. It was his seventh quality start of the year, and he's been especially good over his last seven […]

Shed Long Jr. Hits Moonshot Homer Sunday
Seattle Mariners utility man Shed Long Jr. went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Sunday, a long shot to right field off Texas Rangers starter Mike Foltynewicz. It was his fourth homer of the year. Long Jr. has been starting most games since returning from the injured list on June 8, and spending most of […]

Luis Torrens Hits Ninth Homer Sunday
Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens hit his ninth home run of the season Sunday, a three-run shot off Texas Rangers starter Mike Foltynewicz in the fourth inning. It was his only hit in two at-bats, and he also walked. Torrens has been on quite the power binge, with seven homers in his last 15 games, […]

James Kaprielian Whiffs 10 In Loss To Red Sox
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian allowed one run in seven innings with 10 strikeouts in a home start against the Red Sox on Sunday. The outing matched his longest of the season, but Kaprielian was still saddled with the loss as he was out-dueled by Nick Pivetta. The right-hander induced a whopping 20 swinging […]

Dansby Swanson Collects Two Doubles In Win
Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has not produced the prettiest stat line, but appears to be coming around at the plate. He went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI, and one walk during Sunday's win over the Miami Marlins. The 2021 season has not been kind to Swanson, but at least he's finally improved his […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Hits Homer In Victory
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a key contributor to the win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI during Sunday's close battle with Miami. Acuna hit a two-run home run off Zach Thompson in the third inning. Then he tied the game in the […]

Charlie Morton Gets No-Decision Versus Marlins
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton was cruising through five innings versus the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Sadly, he ran into the red-hot Adam Duvall who took Morton deep to give the Marlins the lead. Morton tossed 5 1/3 innings, five hits allowed, four earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts. He ended up getting […]

Denny Hamlin Still Winless But Finishes Fifth at Road America
A victory in 2021 is just something that is extremely elusive to Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started sixth on Sunday but improved by just one position. That was good enough for another top-five result. However, it was not the result the No. 11 expected. Frustration was very evident Hamlin had to pit […]

Nate Lowe Records Two Hits In Loss
Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe was one of the few bright spots for this offense on Sunday. He went 2-for-4, which was solid for a team that collectively finished with five hits. The Seattle Mariners pitching staff held Texas in check, but at least Lowe put together a decent game. Lowe is hitting .258 […]

Kurt Busch Nabs Fourth Place on Sunday at Road America
Kurt Busch kept fighting the course all afternoon at Road America. He was rewarded for his persistence with a fourth-place result. The No. 1 Chevy took advantage of the Hendricks Racing misfortune and a favorable long run at the end of the race. The elder Busch surged to ninth after Stage 1 and just kept […]

Mike Foltynewicz Allows Two Homers In Loss
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz had trouble keeping the ball in the ballpark during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went seven innings, allowing four hits, four earned runs with five strikeouts. At first glance, Foltynewicz didn't have a horrible outing, but the long ball cost him the game. He gave up two […]

Kyle Tucker Sits Again For Series Finale
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) was missing from Sunday's starting lineup against Cleveland. Tucker is currently dealing with back spasms, an ailment that has now forced him to miss the last three outings. The club will fly home and rest on Monday before hosting the Athletics on Tuesday. With Tucker officially labeled as day-to-day, […]

Kyle Busch Fades Late and Settles for Third Place at Road America
Kyle Busch probably had one of the fastest race cars on Sunday at Road America but his car just could muster much late in the race. He faded considerably over the final 16 laps. First, he was passed by eventual winner Chase Elliott. Then, Christopher Bell passed him as well. In the end, he still […]

Christopher Bell Springs Up for Second Place at Road America
It was believed that Christopher Bell could do well at Road America. He had a winning pedigree with different racing cars on the track. He did not disappoint as the Joe Gibbs Racing driver surged into second place late after an impressive passing of Kyle Busch. The top four finishers at Road America on Sunday […]

Chase Elliott Wins at Road America on July 4th
Chase Elliott found himself in a familiar place during a road race. He was at the front. Once the No. 9 car passed Kyle Busch on Lap 46, it was pretty much over. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver won his seventh road race in the last three seasons in a dominating performance. He won by […]

Alex Bregman Won’t Return Before Break
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) has recently been doing some light running. However, he isn't expected back before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old right-handed hitter has been out since June 16 because of a strained left quad, but it appears as if he is inching closer toward a return. Bregman is batting .275, […]

Christian Arroyo Likely To Be Activated On Monday
Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (knee) is expected to be activated on Monday. Arroyo is currently with the team and is likely to be ready to roll for the series opener against the Angels. The 26-year-old has played well enough to justify his presence on fantasy rosters, currently owning a .264 batting average, […]

Yanks Send Tyler Wade Back To Triple-A
New York Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade was demoted back to Triple-A on Sunday. The 26-year-old hasn't done much this season, currently sitting on a .224 average to go along with 14 runs, 11 hits, and two RBI, with 14 strikeouts, throughout 49 at-bats for the big club. The move makes room for Wandy Peralta, […]

Kole Calhoun To Run Bases On Monday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) will run the bases on Monday. The 33-year-old had recently reported to Triple-A Reno to prepare for a return to the big club. However, he was removed from a contest on Tuesday after his hamstring ailment flared up, although it may not keep him out much longer. Calhoun is […]

Eduardo Escobar Missing Again On Sunday
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar (quadriceps) wasn't in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Giants. Escobar was listed as out because of a quadriceps injury. However, with trade rumors running wild, fantasy managers may have seen the last of him in Arizona. The 32-year-old is batting .249 to go along […]

Maikel Franco Absent Against On Sunday
Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco (ankle) wasn't in the lineup once again on Sunday for the series finale against the Angels. Franco tweaked his ankle on Wednesday against the Houston Astros and hasn't made an appearance since. The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day, and with the birds getting the day off on Monday, there is […]
