Heliot Ramos Slugs Two Homers

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Heliot Ramos flexed his muscles on Sunday with two home runs in a 9-4 win over the Reds. The club has taken a long look at the 21-year-old so far this spring and he's 5-for-12 in five games. Consistent contact has been a challenge for the former 19th-overall draft pick […]

Are We Overlooking Ha Seong Kim?

Earlier this year I, like most of us, was quarantined in my home with limited ability to go outside and no sports on television. I had already binged Tiger King, so I was looking for a new obsession; then ESPN started broadcasting KBO games. Hungry for sports, I started recording the games and writing DFS […]

Michael Raffl Out Sunday With Injury

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Michael Raffl will be out for the Flyers against the Washington Capitals with a hand injury on Sunday. Raffl has contributed just one point in his last five Flyers contests. The Villach, Austria native, has produced three goals and four helpers for Philadelphia this season. He is on zero percent of fantasy […]

Ty France Stays Hot With Another Homer

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France went deep once again in Sunday's Cactus League matchup against the Angels. Through five spring training games, France is batting .545 with two homers, a double, and three RBI. If there was any doubt about France's role as the everyday designated hitter, he is proving that he deserves the […]

Logan Gilbert Flashes Upside Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert had an impressive outing Sunday against the Angels. In his first start of spring training, Gilbert pitched two innings, allowing one run on two hits while striking out four. Gilbert fanned David Fletcher and Mike Trout in the first inning, and simply overpowered Dexter Fowler before finishing off Taylor […]

Alex Colome Much Sharper In Second Outing

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome was much better in his second outing of the spring on Sunday against the Rays. Colome pitched a scoreless inning, allowing one hit while striking out two batters. The 32-year-old reliever had a rough outing his first time out but has still displayed the best tool in his arsenal, […]

Philippe Myers Back In the Lineup for Philadelphia

Philadelphia defenseman Philippe Myers will back playing Sunday against the Washington Capitals. Myers was out of the line for an undisclosed reason and hasn't played since March 4th. He should be paired with Travis Sanheim on the team's second defenseman pairing. This season, Myers has been in the lineup for 14 Flyers contests, recording five […]

Jorge Alfaro Gets Two Hits On Sunday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro got two more hits on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a run scored against the New York Mets. Both of Alfaro's hits were singles. He's hitting a robust .500 in Grapefruit League play so far with a 1.000 OPS. Alfaro reportedly worked extra hard this offseason on both his offense and […]

Robert Hagg Will Be A Healthy Scratch Sunday Afternoon

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Robert Hagg will be out of the lineup on Sunday. The Swedish Native has recorded one goal and one assist through 18 games. He is averaging the lowest amount of average ice time in his career at 15:09. He has blocked 16 shots and holds a minus-1 rating. Robert Hagg is irrelevant […]

Yimi Garcia Coughs Up Three Runs On Sunday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Yimi Garcia struggled in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets.

Pablo Lopez Throws Three Strong Innings On Sunday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez got the start for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets. He pitched the first three innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out three. Lopez has yet to allow a run this spring and should start one of the first three games for […]

Jordan Montgomery Pitches Well On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery pitched well against the Phillies on Sunday, tossing three shutout innings with two hits allowed. Mongomery is still clearly working to get back into mid-season form (as most pitchers are) as he only threw his curveball 7% of the time on Sunday (22% usage rate last season), but […]

Brandon Lowe Delivers First Hit Of Spring On Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Brandon Lowe went 1-for-3 with one hit, a run scored, and a strikeout in Sunday's loss to the Twins. Lowe had gone hitless in his previous seven plate appearances before today's game, so it was nice to see him deliver in the hit column, even though it is just spring training. […]

Brett Gardner Hits A Grand Slam On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 1-for-1 with a walk and a grand slam against the Phillies on Sunday, his first home run of spring training this year. Never much of a power hitter, Gardner has only ever hit four regular-season grand slams, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect another in 2021. Gardner rejoined the […]

Ji-Hwan Bae Gets First Hits of Spring in Pirates' Win

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Ji-Hwan Bae picked up his first hits of the spring on Sunday afternoon, finishing 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in the 13-1 victory over the Orioles. Bae is unlikely to break camp with the Pirates given their depth in the middle infield, but it is good to finally see […]

Tyler O'Neill Launches First Home Run

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill launched his first home run of the spring on Sunday against the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old outfielder is off to a nice start to the spring (4-for-10) with top prospect Dylan Carlson breathing down his neck. O'Neill was also once a promising prospect but he's seen his number dwindle […]

David Bednar Looks Sharp Again Sunday Against Orioles

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher David Bednar recorded his third straight scoreless appearance on Sunday afternoon, allowing one walk while striking out two in one inning of work.

Richard Rodriguez Strikes Out Two in Spring Debut

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Richard Rodriguez made his spring debut on Sunday afternoon, allowing one run on two hits while striking out two in the Pirates' 13-1 victory. After surrendering a leadoff single followed by a wild pitch that advanced the runner to second, Rodriguez got back-to-back swinging strikeouts before a single to left drove […]

Grayson Greiner Hit In The Face

Detroit Tigers catcher Grayson Greiner left Sunday's game under his own power after being hit in the face by Elvis Luciano of the Toronto Blue Jays. With Wilson Ramos expected to start at catcher, Greiner is battling Jake Rogers and Dustin Garneau for playing time in 2021 so the club will hope that this is […]

Josh Donaldson Clobbers Three-Run Homer In Spring Debut

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday. Donaldson's homer to center field was absolutely tagged, as the exit velocity was 110.2 MPH with the ball traveling 417 feet. Even one of his outs was loud, as he put a 106.9 MPH ball […]

James Reimer Tends Twine On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender James Reimer will make his 13th start of the campaign as his team hosts the Florida Panthers on Sunday afternoon. The 32-year-old, who has held down the starter role in Carolina with Petr Mrazek out due to injury, is coming off a sparkling performance in a win versus the Wings on Thursday […]

Duane Underwood Jr. Acquired by Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up hurler Duane Underwood Jr. from the Chicago Cubs on Sunday in exchange for minor league first baseman Shendrik Apostel. The pitcher had recently been designated for assignment by the Cubs. A former second-round pick out of high school, Underwood Jr. never realized his full potential with the Cubs and spent […]

Jake Gardiner Expected To Return For Carolina On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jake Gardiner will make his way back into his team's lineup versus the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The 30-year-old is back to full health after missing the previous five games due to an upper-body injury. Gardiner (1% owned in Yahoo! leagues) isn't exactly lighting it up this season offensively (seven assists in […]

Tuukka Rask Gets The Call For Bruins On Sunday

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask will draw the start on Sunday as his team faces off against the visiting New Jersey Devils. Rask is fresh off three days of rest, having last played in Wednesday's shootout loss to the Capitals in which he stopped 27 of 28 shots fired his way. The 33-year-old should be […]

Jake Oettinger Back In Net On Sunday

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger will take the crease for the second time in two days as his team hosts the Nashville Predators on Sunday night.

Lewis Thorpe Strikes Out The Side On Sunday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Lewis Thorpe continued his strong start to the spring on Sunday against the Rays. Thorpe struck out the side in his lone inning of work, complete with five swings-and-misses and a fastball clocked at 93.7 MPH.
