Hunter Renfroe Reaches Base Three Times, Drives In Two

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe reached based in all three of his plate appearances against the New York Yankees Friday, going 1-for-1 with a double, two walks, a run scored, and two RBI. What first seemed like a hot streak has now turned into sustained success for Renfroe, who is thriving with a .308/.392/.519 […]

Xander Bogaerts Drives In Two Friday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a double against the New York Yankees Friday, driving in two runs and scoring another. It's been a relatively tough stretch for Bogaerts, as he's produced only a .675 OPS over his last seven games, and his last home run came on June 15. Still, Bogaerts […]

Michael Chavis Leads Off, Steals A Base

Boston Red Sox utility man Michael Chavis led off for the second time in two games since being recalled on Friday, going 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base against the Yankees. The steal was his first of the season. The Red Sox have gotten little production from the top spot in the […]

Josh Bell Expected To Return To Lineup Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell (oblique) is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday after an MRI on his oblique showed no issues, according to Jessica Camerato of MLB.com. Bell was scratched from Thursday's lineup and then held out of Friday's contest due to an oblique issue. But it sounds like there's no […]

Marcus Semien Drives In A Pair Friday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Marcus Semien knocked in a pair of runs on Friday as his club was defeated by the Orioles 6-5 in extra innings. His double in the seventh that cashed in two was his only hit of the ballgame as he finished the night going 1-for-5 with two strikeouts. Semien has […]

Alek Manoah Sharp In Friday’s No-Decision

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah was sharp during the team's extra-inning loss the Orioles on Friday, giving up just one unearned run over six frames of work. The 23-year-old gave up four hits and two walks while striking out six in the 97-pitch effort before leaving with a 3-1 lead. The Jays tacked […]

George Springer Slugs Third Homer

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer slugged his third home run of the season on Friday as his club fell to the Orioles 6-5. Springer got the scoring started by taking Matt Harvey deep to centerfield for a 417' solo shot as he finished the night going 1-for-3 with a walk. It was just the […]

Zack Britton Exits Friday With Apparent Leg Injury

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (leg) exited Friday's game with an apparent leg injury, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Britton faced one batter and after getting him to fly out, Britton was seen grabbing at the back of his left leg before walking off the mound into the dugout. There's no word […]

Diego Castillo Locks Down 12th Save Friday Night

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Diego Castillo struck out the side in a perfect inning of relief on Friday night to earn his 12th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Angels. He's now converted seven straight save opportunities dating back to April, but he's had a rough month in June where […]

Austin Meadows Has Three Hits Against Angels Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows went 3-for-4 with two RBI in a 4-3 win over the Angels on Friday night. He has been struggling a bit lately, slashing .207/.258/.345 with two homers, six RBI and seven runs scored over his last 15 games. But despite the struggles, he's still had a good performance this […]

Evan Longoria Resuming Baseball Activities

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) resumed baseball activities on Friday. The veteran is anticipated to be out for up to eight weeks as he continues to deal with a left shoulder strain. Longoria was playing well before succumbing to the ailment, batting .280 in addition to 45 hits, 28 RBI, 26 runs, […]

Buster Posey Out Of The Lineup On Friday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (back) is not in the starting lineup on Friday. The veteran is dealing with lower back tightness, although it isn't known precisely how severe it is. Curt Casali will get some work as the temporary backstop against the Athletics, but he doesn't offer much of an upside, so fantasy […]

Logan Webb To Throw In A Sim Inning

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) will toss in a simulated inning this week. The 24-year-old played well before going down because of a strained right shoulder, compiling a record of 4-3 and a 3.86 ERA, with 54 strikeouts, throughout nine starts this year. Though the righty still has a way to go, […]

Enoli Paredes Heading To Sugar Land

Houston Astros starting pitcher Enoli Paredes (shoulder) will report to Sugar Land for a rehab assignment within the next week. The 25-year-old currently resides on the 10-day injured list after he was diagnosed with a strained shoulder following a matchup against Boston a few weeks ago. Paredes is sporting a miserable 6.23 ERA out of […]

Trevor Williams Almost Ready For Rehab

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendix) is nearing a rehab assignment. The right-hander has been out since the beginning of June after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, and he most recently threw a simulated inning off the bump on Tuesday. Alec Mills has been filling in as a member of the rotation and is worth […]

David Bote Could Begin Rehab Stint Soon

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week. The 28-year-old has been out for about a month now after dislocating his left shoulder during a matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. However, it's unlikely he's missed much by anyone, primarily after batting just .201 throughout 161 plate […]

Travis Blankenhorn Called Up From Syracuse

New York Mets second baseman Travis Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A on Friday. The 24-year-old, who was optioned just two weeks ago, will suit up for another stint with the big club after Jonathan Villar (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured reserve. The 24-year-old hasn't done much outside of Syracuse, compiling just one hit […]

Jonathan Villar Placed On 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Jonathan Villar (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22. Villar suffered a right calf strain during Monday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves but likely won't need to spend much time on the shelf. However, with the Mets dealing with a plethora of injuries, the […]

Abdel Nader Cleared For Action

Phoenix Suns guard Abdel Nader (knee) has been cleared to play and is expected to be available for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The 27-year-old has been absent since March after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. While conditioning could be an issue, he may be thrust into a larger role against Los Angeles, primarily […]

Taijuan Walker With Another Solid Start On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker continued his excellent season in his first year with the Mets in the first game of a doubleheader on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Walker picked up a no-decision, but he struck out five and walked only one while allowing just one earned run in his five innings […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Good For Game 2

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available for Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Bogdanovic has been dealing with soreness in his right knee and carried the same designation heading into the series opener on Wednesday, so his availability isn't a surprise by any means. However, he was obviously plagued by the ailment, finishing the Game […]

Brewers Could Be A Landing Spot For Trevor Story

The Milwaukee Brewers could be a potential landing spot for Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story. The two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner is expected to be traded, and the Rockies are listening to offers ahead of next month's trade deadline. The Brewers acquired Willy Adames from the Tampa Bay Rays last month, but they could […]

Cameron Payne Could Miss Saturday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (ankle) could miss the Game 4 matchup against the Clippers. The 26-year-old injured his left ankle during Thursday's loss to Los Angeles and was relegated to just four minutes as a result. Chris Paul (illness) returned for Game 3 after being sidelined due to COVID-19, so Payne probably wouldn't have […]

Danny Coulombe Starting Friday Against Indians

Minnesota Twins left-hander Danny Coulombe will make the start on Friday evening in his Twins debut against the Cleveland Indians. It will be a bullpen game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Coulombe to go deep into this ballgame. The 31-year-old southpaw had a fantastic 1.77 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 27:3 K:BB in 14 relief […]
