Didi Gregorius Hits Eighth Homer Sunday Versus Marlins

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius launched a solo homer on Sunday in a win versus the Marlins. It was his only hit in four at-bats as the veteran shortstop is batting just .221 on the season. He does have eight homers and a .405 slugging percentage, but Statcast paints a different picture as his xSLG […]

Michael Conforto Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto came through in a big way in the ninth inning of Sunday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates, blasting a go-ahead two-run home run off Pirates closer Richard Rodriguez. He also walked in five plate appearances. This follows up a two-double performance Saturday. Conforto has struggled mightily this season, but […]

Dominic Smith Adds Three Hits Against Pittsburgh

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith went 3-for-5 with a double against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday. He scored once and drove in a run. Despite an underwhelming .713 OPS on the season, there have been some signs of life for the lefty swinger. Smith has posted a .300/.345/.560 slash line over his last 15 games […]

Brandon Nimmo Walks Three More Times Sunday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo picked up three more walks Sunday. He also went 0-for-2 and scored a run. In just three games since the all-star break, Nimmo has already walked eight times.

Travis Blankenhorn Hits First Major-League Homer

New York Mets utility man Travis Blankenhorn played a key role in the comeback win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday, hitting a pinch-hit three-run home run off of Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker in the fourth inning. It was his first major-league home run. Blankenhorn has enjoyed some success in his limited action this year, going […]

Jonathan Davis Heading To Buffalo

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jonathan Davis is heading back down to Triple-A Buffalo. Davis was recalled a few weeks ago, so his most recent tenure with the big club was short-lived. The 29-year-old hasn't done much this season, batting only .143 throughout 48 games in the majors, so it's unlikely any fantasy managers will miss […]

Taijuan Walker Records Just One Out Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker recorded just one out against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday, allowing six runs (five earned) on four hits and four walks. He also made an inexplicable mental error when he swatted what he thought was a foul dribbler towards the third-base dugout. The umpire ruled the ball fair, and […]

Mitch Haniger Scores Three Times Against Sngels

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went just 1-for-3 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch against the Los Angeles Angels Sunday, but he did manage to come around to score all three times on base. He's now scored 65 runs on the year to go with his 22 home runs and 58 RBI. Batting second in […]

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens hit his 10th home run of the year Sunday, giving him the third-most on the team in just 161 at-bats. He also walked in four plate appearances against the Los Angeles Angels. With Evan White on the shelf for the year, Torrens stands to receive playing time at first base […]

Trey Amburgey Day-To-Day

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. Amburgey exited Sunday's matchup against the Red Sox after injuring his right hamstring. Although it looked bad when it happened, it now appears that he was dealing with a cramp, which is good news for a club that is sorely lacking depth in the outfield. […]

Ty France Homers, Drives In Three Sunday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France had three hits in four at-bats Sunday, including his ninth home run of the season, a three-run shot off of Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval. He also singled twice, scored another run, and was hit in the ear flap by a pitch. He stayed in the game, […]

Zach Davies Can't Get Through Five Innings

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies only lasted 4 2/3 innings in Sunday's no-decision versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Davies allowed six hits, two runs, four walks and struck out three on the afternoon. Davies hasn't shown much longevity in his starts with the Cubs this season and now owns an undesirable 4.35 on the year. […]

Jake Fraley Diagnosed With COVID-19

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Fraley hasn't been in the lineup because of Flu-like issues. Although it was originally reported his symptoms weren't linked to the Coronavirus, it appears now that he will miss some time moving ahead. It isn't known whether other players for the M's will have […]

David Price Pitches Well In Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher David Price went four innings in Sunday's start versus the Colorado Rockies. Price allowed two hits, one run, one walk and struck out four on the afternoon.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert had another outstanding start Sunday, allowing just two runs on four hits and two walks against the Los Angeles Angels while setting a new career high with nine strikeouts. He was credited with the win, improving his record to 4-2. Gilbert has steadily improved over the course of his […]

Will Smith Has Big Game In Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith put together a nice all-around performance in Sunday's loss versus the Colorado Rockies. Smith went 3-for-4 at the plate with a walk, three RBI and a stolen base. Smith continues to be one of the more productive options behind the dish and is now hitting .265 with 11 homers […]

Josh Harrison Posts Three-Hit Game Sunday

Washington Nationals utility man Josh Harrison had three hits Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run, and an RBI. It's his second game in the row with three hits. Harrison is in position to bat in the middle of the lineup every day for the Nats, playing all over the diamond. He has a […]

Justin Turner Hits 16th Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 2-for-5 with a double and two-run home run in Sunday's loss versus the Colorado Rockies. Turner is fresh off of an All-Star appearance and he has started his second half on a high note. Turner continues to have an impressive season and is now hitting .304 with […]

Juan Soto Homers Again Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was outstanding yet again Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored against the San Diego Padres. The home run derby may indeed have helped Soto's swing as he suggested beforehand, as he's now 7-for-13 with two walks and three home […]

Trey Amburgey Suffers Leg Injury On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (leg) exited Sunday's outing against the visiting Red Sox. The 26-year-old appeared to injure his hamstring while attempting to reach first base during a double play. This is unfortunate news, primarily since Amburgey just had his contract purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was expected to fill the void caused […]

Alcides Escobar Hits First Homer Of Season

Washington Nationals infielder Alcides Escobar hit his first home run of the season Sunday off of Emilio Pagan, going 2-for-5 with a walk and two RBI against the San Diego Padres. Escobar has been leading off and playing every day at second base since joining the team, giving him some value for fantasy managers in […]

Kenley Jansen Blows Third Save

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen blew his third save of the season on Sunday versus the Colorado Rockies. Jansen allowed two hits, one run, zero walks and failed to record a strikeout in his one inning of work. Jansen's run would tie the game 4-4 and send it to extra innings. Despite the blown […]

Brad Hand Blows Save, Earns Cheap Win Sunday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Brad Hand couldn't find the strike zone Sunday against the San Diego Padres, allowing one run on a hit and three walks en route to a blown save. He did record all three outs via strikeout, and was fortunate to earn the win when the Nats pushed another run across in […]

Max Scherzer Allows Four Runs Across Seven Innings Sunday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer lasted seven innings against the San Diego Padres Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight batters. He took a no-decision. It's a strong bounce-back for the all-star, who allowed seven runs in 3 2/3 innings his last outing before the break. Scherzer […]

Christian Arroyo Injured On Sunday Night

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo (hamstring) exited the Sunday Night Baseball matchup against the Yankees. Arroyo suffered a hamstring strain while stretching to make a grab, an unfortunate development considering he was making his first career start at first base.

Christian Arroyo Exits With Injury

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo exited Sunday night's game against the Yankees with what appeared to be a groin stretch after attempting to make a play in his first start at first base. He was replaced at first by Bobby Dalbec. It's a disappointing result for Arroyo, who had been off to an […]

Sonny Gray Strikes Out Six In Return From IL

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed five runs over 4 2/3 innings in an 8-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Gray struck out six and walked four in the outing, which saw him struggle with his control. The veteran right-hander was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier in the day after missing […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Doubles In Blowout Loss

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was one of the few bright spots for this offense on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a double off lefty Steven Matz during the 10-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. This game was over in the second inning and the Rangers didn't put up much of a fight. Kiner-Falefa […]

Mike Foltynewicz Has Laughable Outing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz had possibly one of the worst outings by any pitcher this season. On Sunday, Foltynewicz allowed 10 earned runs, eight hits, two walks, and zero strikeouts through 1 2/3 innings. During that time span, Foltynewicz allowed four home runs to the Blue Jays. Fantasy managers are certainly wishing they […]

Chris Bassitt Pitches Well Despite Loss To Cleveland

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt allowed three runs across seven innings pitched, but took the loss on Sunday against the Indians. Bassitt scattered six hits and didn't walk a batter while racking up eight strikeouts. The right-hander completed seven innings for the fourth time in his last five starts as he's been outstanding for […]
