Kevin Plawecki May Be Heading To The IL

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (hamstring) may require a trip to the injured list, according to manager Alex Cora. The 30-year-old veteran exited Sunday's matchup against Kansas City because of tightness in his left hamstring, and while there is still hope he won't need to take a trip to the IL, things aren't looking […]

X-rays Negative For Christian Arroyo

Boston Red Sox third baseman Christian Arroyo (leg) left Sunday's matchup against the Royals. The 26-year-old collided with Kike Hernandez in the bottom of the fifth, resulting in a bruised shin. Fortunately, X-rays revealed no structural damage, so it appears as if he will avoid taking a trip to the injured list. Nonetheless, fantasy managers […]

Wander Franco Will Join Rays On Tuesday

Shortstop Wander Franco has been called up and will join Tampa Bay on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. The 20-year-old is one of the most eagerly anticipated prospects in baseball, batting .323, with five stolen bases this season while at Triple-A Durham. He also had 51 hits, 35 RBI, and 30 runs throughout 158 […]

Carson Kelly Officially Sent To The IL

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (wrist) was officially sent to the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 26-year-old exited Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers after getting hit by a Walker Buehler pitch. It's horrible timing, considering the veteran is having the best season of his career by batting .260 throughout 50 games. He […]

Spencer Dinwiddie To Decline Player Option

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) is expected to decline his player option and take his chances in free agency this offseason. The 28-year-old is due to make $12.3 million but will likely draw interest from a multitude of teams throughout the league in need of a point guard of his caliber. Dinwiddie missed nearly […]

Luis Arraez Extends Hitting Streak To Five Games

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez had a three-hit day in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Texas Rangers. Arraez ripped a trio of base hits, scoring on a Byron Buxton homer in the first inning. The 24-year-old is riding a five-game hitting streak and has seen his batting average rise to .286. Arraez seems like he's […]

Max Kepler Drives In A Run Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's defeat of the Texas Rangers. Kepler singled with two runners on in the third, scoring one on an error. The 28-year-old has gone 1-for-11 with two RBI and a stolen base since returning from the injured list. Kepler is batting […]

Byron Buxton Homers Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's victory over the Texas Rangers. Buxton homered in his first at-bat of the game, launching a 1-2 slider 426 feet into the center-field seats at 107 MPH. He later doubled to cap off a strong day at the plate. […]

Adolis Garcia Collects Two Hits

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia was one of the few bright spots for this team during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Garcia went 2-for-2 with a home run and a double as Texas lost their sixth game in a row. On Friday, Garcia snapped his 17-game home run drought and now is back to […]

Joey Gallo Smacks Homer On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo has not put together the type of stat line that fantasy managers were hopeful to get from him. However, he continues hitting absolute moon shots, which is something positive to write about. On Sunday, Gallo went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and a one strikeout in the loss […]

Hansel Robles Shuts The Door For Sixth Save

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Hansel Robles worked an easy ninth to record his sixth save of the season Sunday against the Texas Rangers. Robles was called upon to protect a two-run lead and did so on 13 pitches, making it his third consecutive scoreless inning. The righty had a strong series against the Rangers, picking […]

Elvis Andrus Continues To Struggle At The Plate

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 0-for-3 on Sunday as he continues to struggle in his first season away from Texas. Andrus is batting just .224 this season and is yet to homer in green and gold. He's not getting on base either, as his OBP sits at an anemic .272. He provides good defense […]

Dane Dunning Hit Around By Twins

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning did not look like himself during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Dunning went four innings, allowing a career-high 10 hits, while surrendering three earned runs. It's also worth noting that he walked two batters and struck out five over the course of his outing on Sunday. Despite this […]

Kenta Maeda Earns Third Win Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda earned his first win since returning from the injured list Sunday against the Texas Rangers. Maeda pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits with one walk issued. The veteran righty struck out four and induced 12 whiffs on 84 pitches. Maeda is still building up his […]

Matt Olson Launches Solo Homer In Loss To Yankees

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a 2-1 loss to the Yankees on Sunday. Olson took left-hander Jordan Montgomery deep in the first inning with a moonshot homer to center field. The lefty-slugger just missed another homer later in the game, but still had a big series in […]

Aaron Sanchez Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (bicep) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. This clears room on the 40-man roster for John Brebbia to return from injury. Sanchez has been sidelined since early May due to bicep tendinitis. Despite being transferred, Sanchez is eligible to return in early July. It's […]

Chris Gittens Optioned To Triple-A

New York Yankees first baseman Chris Gittens was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's win over the Oakland Athletics. Gittens appeared in 10 games for the Yankees, going 2-for-18 with a home run and four RBI. By sending down Gittens, it seems like New York is making room on the roster for Luke Voit (oblique), […]

Sean Manaea Whiffs 11 Yankees In Loss

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea was the tough-luck loser on Sunday in Yankee Stadium, despite a season-high 11 strikeouts. Manaea cruised through five innings in a Father's Day pitcher's duel versus fellow lefty Jordan Montgomery, but he served up a two-run double in the sixth which would be the difference in the game. Despite […]

John Brebbia Activated Sunday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher John Brebbia (elbow) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Sunday. He has been sidelined since last June after he underwent Tommy John surgery. Last offseason, the Cardinals non-tendered Brebbia, but the Giants were willing to take a chance on him. Since 2017, Brebbia has a 3.14 ERA […]

Zack Britton Dealing With Soreness

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (soreness) was unavailable Sunday due to some general soreness he was feeling. Manager Aaron Boone described the condition as similar to what pitchers feel when building up their arms in spring training, so it doesn't sound as if it's anything serious. The southpaw has shown decreased velocity on […]

Gary Sanchez Collects Two-Run Double

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and RBI in Sunday's win over the Oakland Athletics. Sanchez was stranded after a double in the first inning but left his mark on the game with a double in the sixth inning, scoring a pair of runners. Sanchez continues to hit […]

Austin Gomber Lands On Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He exited early during Saturday's start due to left forearm tightness. Unsurprisingly, Gomber will head to the injured list and does not have a timetable attached. Hopefully, Gomber won't miss more than the minimal 10 days, but fantasy managers are […]

George Springer Likely To Drop In Batting Order

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quad) is nearing a return and is currently rehabbing in Triple-A Buffalo. Springer has been banged up all season long and has taken just 17 plate appearances with Toronto. On Sunday, manager Charlie Montoyo mentioned that Springer is likely going to bat fifth or sixth when he does return. […]

Aroldis Chapman Aided By Defense In 16th Save

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman got into a bit of trouble but was bailed out by his defense in his 16th save of the season Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. Chapman walked the first two batters he faced on nine pitches, then induced a groundball, which the Yankee defense used to turn their […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Goes Seven Strong In Win

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was superb in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Orioles, firing seven innings of one-run ball. His only blemish was a home run in the first inning off the bat of Trey Mancini as he struck out four and walked one in the 100-pitch effort. It was a welcomed […]

Reese McGuire Has Four-Hit Afternoon

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire had his best day at the plate so far this season on Sunday, going 4-for-5 in the team's 7-4 win over the Orioles. Three of his four knocks went for doubles as he scored twice and drove in another pair to help pace the offense to a series victory. […]

Tyler Chatwood Collects First Save

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Tyler Chatwood notched his first save of the season on Sunday by protecting the team's 7-4 lead over the Orioles in the series finale. The right-hander worked around a leadoff walk by inducing the Baltimore hitters into three consecutive groundouts as Jordan Romano got the day off after throwing 28 […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Records Seventh Victory

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga recorded his seventh win of the season in Sunday's defeat of the Oakland Athletics. Loaisiga came on in relief of Jordan Montgomery with two runners on base and quickly got a pair of groundball outs to put out the fire. He then pitched another scoreless frame and was […]

Jordan Montgomery Allows One Run In No-Decision

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery authored a strong effort despite not factoring into the decision in Sunday's win over the Oakland Athletics. Montgomery allowed one run on three hits with two walks issued over 5 1/3 innings pitched. The southpaw struck out six batters and generated an impressive 17 whiffs on 85 pitches. […]

Michael Pineda Scheduled For Bullpen Session Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (forearm) was playing catch on Sunday and is scheduled for a bullpen session on Friday, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Pineda has been out since the beginning of June due to forearm tightness, but before then he was having a decent season as he is 3-4 with […]
