Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said after Sunday's game that catcher Willson Contreras will be monitored over the next couple of days.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried looked sharp against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. He gave up a run early in the first inning, but settled in after that. Fried pitched seven innings, allowing one run, four hits, three walks, and two strikeouts. The young lefty was efficient and only needed 87 pitches during his […]

Austin Riley Launches Two Blasts In Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley appears to be finally turning a corner over his last 150 plate appearances or so. On Sunday, Riley collected two hits, which were both home runs during the win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was a five RBI game for Riley as he continues to hit just about everything thrown […]

Mike Foltynewicz Tosses Seven Scoreless Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz looked sharp against the Houston Astros on Sunday. He pitched seven scoreless innings with three hits allowed, two walks, and two strikeouts. It wasn't the most flashy outing, but he was able to pitch well enough to help get his team the win. The Astros lineup is no joke, […]

Josh Fuentes Smacks A Pair Of Doubles In Sunday's Win

Colorado Rockies third baseman Josh Fuentes went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in a 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday. The 28-year-old smacked an RBI double off of Caleb Smith to score Charlie Blackmon in the bottom of the fifth inning. He hit another double earlier in the contest as well. The […]

Ryan Yarbrough Will Start On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough will make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, according to manager Kevin Cash. The veteran lefty is scheduled to make two starts this week, which could make him an intriguing fantasy pickup. Sadly, Yarbrough has been fairly disappointing on the mound through his first 46 […]

Zach Davies Records A No-Decision

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies picked up another no-decision on Sunday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Davies has looked better of late and went five innings on the evening. He allowed four hits, zero runs, three walks and three strikeouts. Despite the no runs allowed, the walks continue to be concerning and he doesn't […]

Javier Baez Plays Hero In Sunday's Victory

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez came up big in Sunday's victory versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Baez was 1-for-4 with the game winning two-run home run. Baez crushed the home run off of Cardinals closer Alex Reyes and that would be all Craig Kimbrel would need in the bottom of the tenth inning to seal […]

Trevor Story Walks It Off On Sunday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Story played the hero when he walked the game off with a solo home run, his fifth of the year, in the bottom of the ninth inning. He deposited a Stefan Crichton […]

Bill Algeo Unable To Get The Win Saturday Night

Though the striking numbers were there, Bill Algeo (14-6) suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Ricardo Ramos on Saturday's main card. Algeo was able to land 76 significant strikes (90 total strikes) in 15 minutes of action, but his downfall was the eight takedowns landed on him by Ramos. Algeo had no way of stopping the […]

Tanner Houck Resumes Throwing Program

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck (elbow) has resumed his throwing program, according to Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush. It sounds like it won't be long before he's back in the Triple-A starting rotation. Although, the team is going to ease him back to full speed out of caution. It's worth noting that […]

Ricardo Ramos Impresses To Take The Decision Win

Leaving the cage after 15 minutes of action with a hard-fought win, Ricardo Ramos took it to Bill Algeo to earn the unanimous decision on Saturday. Though he was out-struck (53 significant strikes to Algeo's 76), Ramos' ground game was the key factor, as he landed eight takedowns along with over three minutes of control […]

Ty France Could Be Activated Monday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Ty France (wrist) could be activated on Monday, according to manager Scott Servais. The organization is hopeful that France will be able to play at some point during the upcoming series against the Oakland Athletics.

Edmen Shahbazyan Drops Decision In Main-Card Opener

After a great first round of action for Edmen Shahbazyan (11-2) on Saturday, he was unable to finish things, dropping a unanimous decision to opponent Jack Hermansson. Statistically, Shahbazyan was only able to land 40 significant strikes (42 total strikes) in 15 minutes of action. Shahbazyan was taken down three times and was under the […]

Kyle Lewis Has Two Hits, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis stole his second base of the season Sunday against the San Diego Padres. He also went 2-for-3 in the contest with two singles. It's good to see Lewis contributing in the speed department, but he doesn't have an extra-base hit since May 7. There's plenty of potential here, but Lewis […]

Michael Pineda Should Return Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (thigh) is expected to return from the injured list on Wednesday. The veteran right-hander was placed on the injured list last week due to a thigh issue. It appears he'll miss the minimum amount of time here and make the start against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Pineda has […]

Jack Hermansson Battles Back To Take Decision Win

Kicking off the main card on Saturday were two middleweights looking to turn the tide for themselves to return to title talks. With his solid takedown and control game, Jack Hermansson (22-6) took control of the contest to earn the unanimous decision. Statistically, Hermansson landed 55 significant strikes (141 total strikes) to go along with […]

Jon Gray Logs A Quality Start On Sunday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray took a no-decision on Sunday when he allowed three runs on two hits with three strikeouts and two walks over six innings in a 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Justin Dunn Allows One Hit In Five Innings Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn showed off his potential yet again on Sunday against the San Diego Padres, allowing one run on just one hit and three walks while striking out four in five innings.

Victor Reyes Likely To Be Recalled Before Monday's Game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes is expected to be recalled from Triple-A prior to Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians. It sounds like Reyes will return to the big leagues following the demotion of outfielder JaCoby Jones. Reyes was struggling at the plate in early May before being sent to the minors. Since then, he […]

Alex Verdugo Pinch Hits Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (hamstring) pinch-hit in Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies, grouding into a force-out against Archie Bradley in the nith inning. It was Verdugo's first appearance since Friday, when he left the game with a hamstring strain. This appearance is a very good sign that the issue is not a […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Saddled With Third Loss Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez took his third loss of the season Sunday against the Phillies, who blitzed him right from the start for four runs in the first inning. Manager Alex Cora was hoping Rodriguez could get through six innings, but Rodriguez only managed four. He allowed four runs on five hits […]
