Buster Posey Plates Three Wednesday, Continues To Hit

The veteran backstop is having quite the resurgent season at the plate, slashing an impressive .374/.451/.657 with eight home runs and 15 RBI. It is unlikely that Posey […]

Tyler Rogers Pitches Ninth Inning Wednesday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tyler Rogers took the mound in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Reds. The Giants had a one-run lead going into the ninth inning, so Rogers would have seen a save situation had they not scored three runs in the top of the inning. Rogers allowed a […]

Garrett Richards Earns Fourth Victory

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Richards earned his fourth victory of the season Wednesday, throwing 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball against the Toronto Blue Jays. Richards gave up seven hits and four walks while striking out five. After a difficult two-inning outing to begin his year, Richards has been excellent, and he now […]

Austin Riley Gets Two Knocks On Wednesday

Jake Cronenworth Rounds Bases The Old-Fashioned Way

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Cronenworth laced a ball off the right field wall in the sixth inning and used his wheels to capitalize on a misplay by outfielder Charlie Blackmon to touch them all. The 27-year-old has been on a […]

Christian Vazquez Homers Wednesday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez provided some insurance runs Wednesday, going deep in the eighth inning off Blue Jays relief pitcher Jeremy Beasley. It was Vazquez's third long ball of the year, and came with a man on. Vazquez has struggled of late, posting a .182/.280/.318 slash line over his last seven games, and […]

Hyeon-Jong Yang Pitches Well Versus Yankees

Texas Rangers pitcher Hyeon-Jon Yang did his job during Wednesday's loss to the New York Yankees. He delivered 5 1/3 innings, allowing three hits, two runs, four walks, and two strikeouts. It was actually an extremely solid outing for Yang until the sixth inning when things began to get out of hand. The veteran swingman […]

Jake McGee Pitches Eighth Inning Wednesday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee earned his first hold of the season in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Reds. McGee entered the game to pitch the eighth inning with a one-run lead and pitched a 1-2-3- inning with no strikeouts. The interesting thing here is that manager Gabe Kapler elected to use McGee […]

J.D. Martinez Hits Eleventh Homer

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez went deep for his eleventh home run of the year Wednesday, delivering a solo shot off Blue Jays starter Ross Stripling in the top of the first inning. It was his first home run, and extra base hit, since May 5. Martinez has been excellent all year, slashing […]

Alex Verdugo Homers, Drives In Two

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo had a nice game Wednesday against the Blue Jays, going 2-for-5 with a two-run home run. Verdugo is now slashing .288/.347/.468 for the year with six home runs, 28 runs scored, 19 RBI, and three steals. He's a steady producer across all fantasy categories, and is in great position […]

Kevin Gausman Dominates Again Wednesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman continued to look like the team's ace in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Reds. Gausman pitched six scoreless innings, allowing a single hit and two walks with eight strikeouts. He has built off of the success he found with the Giants in 2020 and is now 4-0 with […]

Kike Hernandez Homers, Scores Twice Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez had a big day at the plate Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, and two runs scored. In just his second game since returning from a hamstring injury, Hernandez led off, played center field, and certainly made his presence felt. He's now slashing .254/.308/.459 for […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Delivers First Career Walkoff Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. delivered his first career walkoff home run in the ninth inning of Wednesday's win over the New York Mets.

Joe Musgrove Fires Gem In Sweep Of Rockies

San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove blanked the Colorado Rockies Wednesday, earning his fourth victory. The right-hander dealt 11 strikeouts over 93 pitches, yielding two harmless hits and walking none. After a couple rocky starts to open May, the 28-year-old has gotten on track with two solid outings. Through nine starts, Musgrove holds a sharp […]

Adam Plutko Turns In Second Straight Poor Outing Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Adam Plutko did not pitch well and was charged with a blown save in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Rays. Plutko came on to pitch in the seventh inning up by three with one out and a runner on second. He gave up an RBI single, allowing the inherited runner to […]

Charlie Morton Getting Back In The Groove

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton finally showed some promising signs during Wednesday's win over the New York Mets. He pitched six innings, two hits allowed, one earned run, and eight strikeouts. This marks Morton's third quality start of the season through nine starts. It's worth noting that the eight strikeouts has tied Morton's season-high, […]
