Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider picked up the save Wednesday, only allowing a single hit in the bottom of the 10th inning while striking out one batter. The automatic runner on second base did come around to score, but the run was not charged to Steckenrider by rule. He now holds a 2.15 ERA […]

Justus Sheffield Fortunate To Allow Only Four Runs

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield had yet another tough start Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks to the Toronto Blue Jays in four innings pitched. He struck out three batters. Sheffield was able to work himself out of several jams in this one, including leaving the bases loaded in the […]

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore was the hero Wednesday, hitting a game-winning three-run home run in the top of the 10th inning to give Seattle a 9-7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 3-for-5 in the contest with three RBI and two runs scored. The home run was his seventh of the […]

Kyle Seager Hits Two-Run Homer Wednesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager hit a two-run homer Wednesday in going 2-for-5 against the Toronto Blue Jays. He singled and struck out in his other four at-bats. It was his 14th home run of the season. After a strong April in which he produced a .250/.307/.471 slash line, Seager has cooled considerably, bringing […]

Mitch Haniger Hits Two-Run Bomb Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk against the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday. It was Haniger's 18th long ball of the season.

Adam Frazier Triples In Loss Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in a 6-2 loss to the Rockies on Wednesday.

Daulton Varsho Continues To Struggle At The Plate

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Daulton Varsho continued his struggles at the plate on Wednesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk and one RBI in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals. If you thought it was hard to do worse than a .145/.243/.194 triple-slash line over 26 games this season, in the last seven games alone he is […]

Nick Ahmed Draws Three Walks In Loss Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run scored in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday. It's looking like he's starting to show better plate discipline now, as five of his 19 walks this season have come over his last seven games. Along with the walks, Ahmed has […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Starting To Heat Up Again

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Asdrubal Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a double and one RBI in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon. Cabrera had been struggling over his last 15 games, where he was slashing .171/.271/.317. But now over his last seven games, he's slashing .263/.318/.368 with two doubles, two walks and two RBI. […]

Patrick Wisdom Dealing With Neck Tightness

Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom (neck) is considered day-to-day. The 29-year-old left Wednesday's matchup against the Brewers after a collision with Milwaukee outfielder Tyrone Taylor. As a result, Wisdom is currently nursing a tight neck and a left eye contusion, and he is in jeopardy of missing some time moving ahead. The Cubs will have […]

Steven Matz Shaky In Return To Mound

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz returned to the mound for the first time since landing on the COVID-19 injured list on June 13, and there was certainly some rust to shake off in Wednesday's tilt versus the Mariners. He started off strong by retiring six of the first seven batters he faced, but […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Swats Ninth Homer Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit his ninth home run of the season on Wednesday as his club went on to lose to the Mariners 9-7 in extra innings. His solo shot in the bottom of the eighth tied the game at six at the time to force it to extras as he […]

Alex Jackson Reports For Rehab Stint

Atlanta Braves catcher Alex Jackson (hamstring, finger) reported for a rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Kole Calhoun Removed From Rehab Appearance

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was removed from Tuesday's contest at Triple-A Reno.

The 33-year-old was playing well before […]

Ian Anderson Has Upside Against The Mets

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson will be on the bump against the Mets on Thursday. While Anderson's efficiency hasn't been captured by his 5-4 record this season, his 3.42 ERA makes him a viable option in nearly all fantasy formats. In June, the righty played relatively well, sporting a 3.71 ERA while averaging over […]

Christian Yelich Disappoints Again On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich didn't play well during Wednesday's win over the Cubs. The 29-year-old went hitless against Chicago, going 0-for-5 while striking out three times. The veteran continues to disappoint and is a shade of what he was just a few seasons ago, currently batting .247 throughout 154 at-bats. While Yelich is playing […]

Jose Ramirez Is Fine, Headed For Further Evaluation

Cleveland Indians' third baseman Jose Ramirez will go to the hospital to have his face evaluated. He will not play in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers. The Indians star third baseman fouled a pitch off his face in Game 1 but stayed in the contest. "Everyone thinks he's fine," said manager Terry […]
