Nick Gordon Collects Three Hits, First Career Homer

Minnesota Twins infielder Nick Gordon went 3-for-4 with a home run in Friday's loss to the Kansas City Royals.

Miguel Sano Belts 10th Homer

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano swatted his 10th home run of the season in Friday's 14-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Sano's homer was absolutely crushed, as it traveled 428 feet at an exit velocity of 114.3 MPH, his hardest-hit ball of the season so far. Sano has just two hits in his […]

Matt Shoemaker Doomed By Royals Once Again

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker was shelled for eight earned runs in the first inning of Friday's loss to the Kansas City Royals. Shoemaker mustered just one out in the frame as the Royals hit through their entire order once, tagging the veteran right-hander for six hits and nine total runs. The Royals have […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 11

Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this could mean playing a dead roster […]

Michael Fulmer Held Out Due To Fatigue

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Michael Fulmer was unavailable in Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox due to fatigue.

Hinch told reporters that Fulmer was dealing with fatigue and […]

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop stayed red hot at the plate on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Schoop went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double and five RBI.

Jo Adell May Be Turning Corner At Triple-A

Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Jo Adell went deep twice on Friday and had his second straight three-hit game at Triple-A. The 22-year-old entered June hitting .235 but now has his batting average up to .270. He leads the minor leagues in home runs with 14 but had been striking out at an alarming rate […]

Brett Baty Stays Hot, Homers Twice At High-A

New York Mets prospect Brett Baty went a combined 4-for-7 with two home runs and six runs driven in during a High-A doubleheader on Friday. The 21-year-old third baseman is having a monster season so far in 2021 with a .372 batting average and a 191 wRC+ through 22 games. He also has a 15% […]

Christopher Bell Bit Of An Unknown At Sonoma

Christopher Bell has had road success at NASCAR but has never raced at Sonoma. Blame the pandemic in 2020. Either way, he does start 20th and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has a chance to move up a little. The downforce adjustments could trouble the Bell car a bit. The horsepower package may not be […]

Martin Truex Jr. Among Favorites To Win At Sonoma

Martin Truex Jr. starts a shocking 19th on Sunday at Sonoma. This is a place differential dream for many. Truex Jr. won the race the last time the Carousel was used. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has won three times this year and three times at Sonoma. That includes two in a row. It would […]

Erik Jones Should Move Up At Sonoma

Erik Jones starts from the 18th position on Sunday at the California track. He has six top-ten finishes in 12 road course races. That includes two in three appearances at Sonoma. His place differential improvement is +5, +13, and +24. Even on the lower end, the Richard Petty Motorsports Driver may be one of the […]

Matt DiBenedetto May Surprise At Sonoma

Now, Matt DiBenedetto is one of those drivers that unexpectedly thrived at Sonoma the last time NASCAR came to town in 2019. He finished fourth out of almost nowhere. Could DiBenedetto do it again? At the very least, the Wood Brothers Racing driver should improve track position and nicely. In five appearances, DiBenedetto has moved […]

Daniel Suarez One To Stay Away From At Sonoma

While Daniel Suarez is not the worst idea on Sunday, he is certainly not the best either. In 2019, Suarez got into the top-five qualifying. During the race, he repeatedly had issues on longer runs. That could present itself as the TrackHouse Racing driver may not have the speed or the ability to make good […]

Bubba Wallace Not Recommended At Sonoma

Bubba Wallace has an average finish of 27.5 in two races at Sonoma. The 23XI Racing driver has not had one top-ten result all year. He has won a stage and been at the forefront of more than a few accidents. It has been a learning experience for Wallace in 2021, to say the least. […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Quite Dicey At Sonoma

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has one really good performance this year in 16 races. He has no top-ten results in seven races at Sonoma. Few should expect much of anything from the JTG-Daugherty Racing driver. He finished 21st on the Carousel in 2019 and did not factor much in the race. That is the most likely […]

Joey Logano Being Forgotten About At Sonoma

Joey Logano starts 13th on Sunday at the California track. Logano seems to have been overlooked in some circles but he does have four top-tens and two top-fives at Sonoma. The concern is how much the Team Penske driver fell off two years ago as he plummeted to 23rd. That being said, the No. 22 […]

Chris Buescher May Have Limited Upside At Sonoma

Chris Buescher has been able to stay around the top-15 at the California track. The problem for Buescher may be the downforce. It does not seem he fares that well with that. Combine this with the 750HP package and the JTG-Daugherty Racing driver may have trouble especially at first. Buescher may be able to cope […]

Ryan Blaney Will Have Upside At Sonoma On Sunday

Ryan Blaney starts from the 11th spot on Sunday at Sonoma. The Team Penske driver has had some success on the longer version of the track known as the Carousel. He finished third on the 90-lap version just in 2019. Blaney is one of those road drivers that just finds a way to adapt. Even […]
