David Peterson Leaves With Trainer Wednesday

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson left his start on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves with head athletic trainer Brian Chicklo in the fourth inning and appeared to be favoring his side. Peterson might've been coming out of the game soon anyway, though, after he allowed six of his final seven batters to reach […]

Jon Gray Notches A Quality Start On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray earned the win on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on two hits with four walks and five strikeouts across six innings in a 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gray did a fine job limiting the Pirates offense, only surrendering two hits on the day, but he did have […]

Trea Turner Jams Finger, Juan Soto Suffers From Cramp

It was a busy day for the Washington Nationals in their 15-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Shortstop Trea Turner (finger) hit for his third career cycle on his 28th birthday, but he also jammed his left middle finger sliding into third base on his triple in the sixth inning to complete […]

Shohei Ohtani Doesn't Last Long Against Yankees

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who had hit three home runs in the first two games of the series in the Bronx against the New York Yankees, walked four and hit a batter while being charged with seven runs before being removed in just two-thirds of an inning on Wednesday. Ohtani had walked […]

Jonathan Taylor Is The Guy In Colts Backfield

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor's late-season surge in his rookie year made it obvious that he is the team's starter heading into 2021, and The Athletic's Zak Keefer expects Taylor to get the bulk of the carries. The team will have some plays scripted for Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines, but the running game […]

Trea Turner Hits For The Cycle On His Birthday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner gave himself a pretty nice birthday gift when he tripled in the sixth inning on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays to complete the cycle. He became the fourth player in the modern era to hit for three career cycles. Turner went 4-for-4 in the ballgame with four runs scored […]

Juan Soto Injures Hamstring On A Swing

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (hamstring) injured his left hamstring after swinging at a pitch on Wednesday and was removed from the game in the ninth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. Before leaving the game late, Soto had three singles in six plate appearances, driving in two, scoring three runs, stealing two bases and […]

Chris Herndon Has Struggled With Playbook

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon not only lost some first-team repetitions at minicamp to Ryan Griffin and Tyler Kroft, but the former fourth-round pick also struggled to pick up the new playbook. The 25-year-old was supposed to be the team's tight end of the future when they drafted him in 2018, but he […]

Stephen Piscotty To Go Through Full Workout

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) will go through a full workout on Wednesday. Piscotty landed on the 10-day injured list two weeks ago with a wrist sprain and has obviously taking it slow in his rehab. Those in mixed fantasy leagues haven't been paying much attention to the 30-year-old this year, as he was […]

Christian Walker Has Three Hits In Loss Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker went 3-for-5 with a run scored in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon.

Mark Canha Receives PRP Injections, Could Return Soon

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha (hips) received platelet-rich plasma injections in both of his hips, according to manager Bob Melvin. Canha doesn't have any structural damage to the surgically repaired part of his hip, though, and he could be back with the team in the next few days. Fantasy managers and the A's alike should […]

Tim Locastro Continues To Struggle At The Plate

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Locastro continued his recent struggles at the plate on Wednesday, as he went 0-for-2 at the plate before being pinch-hit for in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals. He has struggled at the plate for some time now, as he's 0-for-9 over his last eight games, and is slashing .095/.208/.119 with […]

Early Summer ADP Risers at Running Back

Ah, our old friend, ADP. Average Draft Position indicates the mean position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player on your team. A high ADP (that is actually a low-numbered ADP) means that a […]

Mike Williams To Man The X Position In Offense

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will be manning the X receiver position that Michael Thomas played in the New Orleans Saints scheme in new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi's scheme. Lombardi is excited about using Williams' skill set this year and expects big things from him. It should all boil down to a lot […]

Josh Rojas Reaches Base In Ninth Straight Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Josh Rojas went 1-for-5 with a run scored in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon. His performance extended his on-base streak to nine games, as he is now slashing.293/.369/.414 with one homer, one steal, six RBI and nine runs scored over his last 15 games. With a .262/.337/.445 triple-slash […]

Blake Snell Going On Injured List With Illness

The San Diego Padres placed left-hander Blake Snell (illness) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with an undisclosed illness. Relief pitcher Miguel Diaz has been recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. Snell was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds with stomach issues. The 28-year-old southpaw hopefully will […]

Tyler O'Neill Doubles Twice And Steals A Base On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill doubled twice and stole a base in Wednesday's 7-4 series finale win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. O'Neill ended up 3-for-4 with the two doubles and a single, scoring three runs and driving in one. The steal was his sixth of the season and the RBI brought his total up […]

Miguel Rojas Back In Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (illness) returns to the lineup and will bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 32-year-old was day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Rojas is hitting .256/.328/.406 on the season but cooled off a bit in June, registering just six hits and one home run in 36 plate appearances. […]

Paul Goldschmidt Has Three Hits On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had a big game on Wednesday, leading the Cardinals to a 7-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. "Goldy" went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI. He had two doubles and a single, bringing his batting average up to .252 and his OPS to .735. He's still […]

Reds Send Tony Santillan Down

The Cincinnati Reds optioned starting pitcher Tony Santillan to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday and recalled right-hander Ashton Goudeau from Louisville in a corresponding move. Santillan has a decent 3.78 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 20/10 K/BB in his four starts covering 16 2/3 innings this year, but his 5.43 FIP and bloated 5.4 BB/9 were issues. […]

Travis Lakins Sr. Placed On Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed right-hander Travis Lakins Sr. (elbow) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday after he left his start early on Tuesday night with elbow discomfort. In corresponding moves, the team selected the contract of right-hander Spenser Watkins and recalled Isaac Mattson from Triple-A Norfolk. Alexander Wells was optioned to Norfolk and Stevie […]

Dellin Betances To Have Season-Ending Surgery

New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, according to manager Luis Rojas. It comes as Betances was getting closer to a return to New York's bullpen, as he recently threw a scoreless inning in a rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse. The hard-throwing right-hander has been a huge disappointment since […]

Alex Reyes Picks Up Save No. 20 On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Alex Reyes saved his 20th game of the season in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Reyes threw a scoreless ninth inning with a three-run lead, so it was an easy save, but it counts the same on the score sheet. In his one inning, Reyes allowed one hit and […]

Evan Marshall Placed On Injured List

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Evan Marshall (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a strained right flexor, the team announced. Marshall exited Tuesday night's 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins with right forearm soreness, allowing two runs on two hits in two-thirds of an inning before Ryan Burr took over […]

Jeff McNeil Grabs Pine Against The Lefty

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried in his return from the injured list. McNeil hasn't been very good since missing time with a hamstring strain, going 7-for-32 (.219) with no homers, two RBI and 10 strikeouts in 10 games since coming […]

Isaiah McKenzie The Leader For Return Duties

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie is the current leader to be the team's new kick and punt returner this year, but on offense he's likely to serve as the No. 5 receiver as a chess piece for offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. In eight games last year in which all five Bills receivers were healthy, […]
