Max Muncy Turning On The Power

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy is beginning to really turn on the power heading into a series with the Marlins beginning Friday. Muncy got off to a slow start this season but is really beginning to square up the baseball. He has home runs in each of his last four games, has four […]

Will Craig Homers For First Major League Hit

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Will Craig picked up his first major league hit on Thursday, as he went 1-for-3 with a home run in a 3-1 loss to the Giants. Craig was recalled to the Pirates after utility man Phillip Evans was placed on the injured list this week, and he got his first start […]

Gavin Lux Hitting .316 In May

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux will head into the weekend swinging a hot bat. The 23-year-old has bounced back from an early season injury and is beginning to flash the potential that has the Dodgers brass so excited for his future.

Odubel Herrera Settling Into Center Field Role

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera has started three straight games in center field as the team continues its search for production at the position.

Kenley Jansen Spotless In May

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen will head into the weekend with five straight appearances without giving up an earned run.

Isaiah Simmons, Zaven Collins Expected To Start

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said it's fair to assume that linebackers Isaiah Simmons (last year's first-round pick) and Zaven Collins (this year's first-rounder) will line up together as starters this season. It means that Jordan Hicks is the odd-man out, and it was reported this week that the organization has given Hicks permission […]

Albert Pujols Receiving Interest From Multiple Teams

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols is receiving interest from three to four teams, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. Pujols was released by the Angels earlier this month after slashing .198/.250/.372 with five home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs scored in 24 games this season. It will depend entirely on the team that […]

Austin Barnes Carries Little Fantasy Appeal

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes will continue to serve as the team's backup as they open up a series against the Marlins beginning Friday. Barnes is not known for his offensive prowess but has done a decent job of getting on base. The veteran backstop is hitting only .212 this season but is posting […]

Justin Fields Taking Part In Rookie Minicamp

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who the team traded up for to select at No. 11 overall in this year's NFL draft, will be taking part in the team's virtual rookie minicamp this weekend. Head coach Matt Nagy, who was present in Kansas City when the team transitioned from Alex Smith to Patrick Mahomes, would […]

Trevor Bauer Scheduled To Start Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Trevor Bauer will start Saturday against the Marlins.

The right-handed starter has struck out 67 hitters through 50 1/3 innings pitched and is holding opponents to a […]

Nate Pearson To Miss Next Start At Triple-A

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson (shoulder) will miss his next start with Triple-A Buffalo due to a mild shoulder impingement, according to Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun. After getting rocked in his start on Sunday against the Astros, Pearson was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, and now with the injury and scratched […]

Jaylen Waddle Signs Four-Year Rookie Deal

Former Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle signed his four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract with the Miami Dolphins on Friday, according to a source. Waddle was the sixth overall pick in this year's NFL draft. He's expected to immediately line up in three-receiver sets alongside DeVante Parker and Will Fuller in his rookie season, and he'll […]

Mookie Betts Posting .658 OPS At Home

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts and Co. will host the Marlins at Dodger Stadium Friday night. It has been a slow start to Betts' season and is slashing only .204/.291/.367 through 49 home at-bats. Fantasy teams looking for silver linings can, however, be slightly encouraged by Betts' production in the month of May. It […]

Antonio Hamilton Visiting With Buccaneers

Kansas City Chiefs free-agent cornerback Antonio Hamilton is visiting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday. Hamilton will try out for the team during their rookie minicamp this weekend. The 28-year-old played 24 snaps on special teams in the Super Bowl against Tampa in February. If signed by the Bucs, he'd be competing for the […]

Clayton Kershaw Holds 2.34 Career ERA Against Marlins

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw will take the mound Friday against the Marlins.

The left-handed starter will go up against a Marlins team […]

Diego Castillo Reinstated From Injured List Friday

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Diego Castillo (groin) was activated from the injured list on Friday, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Castillo has been sidelined with right groin tightness since May 5, but it looks like he only needed a minimal stint on the injured list before he could return to […]

Tyson Jost Nets Two Goals On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche forward Tyson Jost scored two goals on Thursday as his team beat the lifeless Los Angeles Kings 5-1. With the win, Jost and the Avalanche clinched first place in the Honda West Division and will play St Louis in the first round of the divisional playoffs. Jost centered Colorado's first line on Saturday, […]

Bryce Harper Seeing Historically Few RBI Chances

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is off to a hot start with the bat, but his production has been well below what was expected when he was a borderline first-round pick in fantasy. Harper has just 11 RBI this season despite batting third for what should be a good Phillies lineup. Of his 11 RBI, […]

Jacob deGrom Plays Catch Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) played catch on the field Friday. deGrom was placed on the 10-day injured list with tightness in his right side on Tuesday, though he has been able to throw, which seems to indicate that it will be a short stint on the sidelines, a sentiment the Mets […]

Stephen Strasburg Scheduled For One More Outing Before Return

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) is slated to pitch in one more outing before he is deemed ready to return to the big league rotation. Strasburg has pitched in two simulated games already, throwing about 60 pitches in his latest outing, though the Nationals want him to build up his innings and pitch […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: Before going on the injured list with a left forearm strain, Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (forearm) was showing a lot to be excited about. He was called up in mid-April and went on to slash .389/.500/.556 over 11 games, hitting six doubles, […]

Bryan Shaw Earns Save Thursday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Bryan Shaw earned his first save of the season in Thursday night's 4-2 win over the Seattle Mariners.

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (knee) is still experiencing some soreness in his knee, per manager Aaron Boone.
