Daniel Poncedeleon Has Another Inefficient Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon had another inefficient start in Tuesday's game, lasting just 3 1/3 innings after throwing 79 pitches. He allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven. Poncedeleon showed his ability to miss plenty of bats, but deep counts knocked him out of the game […]

Mike Minor Sees Dip In Velocity During Loss

In a 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor had a less than ideal performance. In 3 2/3 innings of work, Minor gave up nine hits, six earned runs, one walk, and struck out six batters on 86 pitches. Today was another disappointing outing for the 2019 breakout as […]

Rowan Wick Snags Save Number Four

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Rowan Wick recorded four outs to pick up his fourth save of the season on Tuesday against the Cardinals. Wick seems to be the preferred option to collect saves, but manager David Ross has yet to officially give him the title of closer. Craig Kimbrel entered the year as the closer […]

Jason Heyward Picks Up Two More Hits

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 2-for-3 with a RBI and run scored against the Cardinals on Tuesday. The Cubs offense as a whole has underperformed, but Heyward is quietly hitting .291 with a pair of home runs and 12 RBI. Heyward is a fine addition in deeper mixed leagues for now, but owners should […]

Mike Yastrzemski Hits Sixth Home Run Of Season Tuesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks, and a strikeout in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Angels. Yastrzemski took Dylan Bundy deep in the first inning for his sixth long ball of the season. The 29-year-old has been solid for the Giants all season and now owns […]

Ian Happ Hits Second Homer In As Many Days

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ stayed hot on Tuesday against the Cardinals. The outfielder was moved to the leadoff spot with Kris Bryant (wrist) sidelined. Happ went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a pair of walks. It’s his second homer in two days for Happ and he remains one of the bright spots […]

Kyle Schwarber Crushes Fourth Home Run

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Cardinals. The good news is that his only hit was crushed to the bleachers for his fourth home run of the season. The bad news is that Schwarber struck out three times. The slugger has been off […]

Brandon Crawford Plates Two Tuesday, Heating Up

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Angels. The veteran hasn't been fantasy relevant this season but has been hot lately, hitting .381 with four RBI over his last seven games. Unfortunately, the Giants' next two matchups are against left-handed […]

Yu Darvish Enjoys Another Victory

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish received his fourth victory on Tuesday against the Cardinals. Darvish got of some jams early on and finished with a line of eight hits, one run, one walk and seven strikeouts over six innings. Darvish has been in a groove since the second half of 2019 and now owns […]

Dane Dunning To Make Debut Wednesday

The Chicago White Sox will start pitching prospect Dane Dunning on Wednesday against the Tigers. Dunning is returning from Tommy John surgery, but was one of the better ranked pitching prospects prior to his injury. Dunning owns a 2.74 ERA in 266 innings and will make his debut in a favorable matchup. Owners should be […]

Trevor Cahill Pitches Well In Start Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Trevor Cahill pitched four solid innings in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Angels. Cahill allowed a single run on four hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with four strikeouts in his second start of the season. He now has a 1.59 ERA with six strikeouts and five […]

Stephen Tarpley Gets Lit Up On Tuesday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Stephen Tarpley didn't pitch well on Tuesday, coughing up four runs on one hit, two walks, and a hit by pitch. Tarpley was all over the place, tossing 13 pitches, six for strikes, while getting just two outs. The lefty hasn't been great this season, sporting a 6.75 ERA, and could […]

Nate Pearson Bit By The Long Ball Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson was touched up for five earned runs over four innings in the team’s 8-7 win over the Orioles. The right-hander served up a trio of homers while striking out three and walking three in the no-decision. After a dominant major-league debut, Pearson has now put together three consecutive […]

Randal Grichuk Homers In Third Straight

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk launched his fourth homer of the season during the team’s 8-7 extra-inning win over the Orioles on Tuesday. He now has homered in three-straight games as he finished the night going 2-for-5 with four RBI. Grichuk has planted himself in the two-hole since Bo Bichette hit the IL, and […]

Travis Shaw Connects For Three-Run Bomb

Toronto Blue Jays corner infielder Travis Shaw cranked a three-run tater during the team’s 8-7 extra-inning win over the Orioles on Tuesday. It was his third long ball of the season as he finished the night going 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored. Shaw has held down the third spot in the batting order […]

Nomar Mazara Picks Up A Pair Of Hits

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nomar Mazara connected for two hits in four at-bats on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. The outfielder also scored twice and knocked in a run. Mazara has really struggled after coming over from the Texas Rangers in the offseason and is hitting a sluggish .222 with no home runs and two […]

Jose Abreu Connects For Three Hits

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 3-for-5 with three RBI on Tuesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Abreu has been overshadowed by teammates Tim Anderson and Luis Robert, but remains one of the more consistent options at first base. The slugger is now hitting .268 with four home runs and 16 RBI. Abreu is […]

Tim Anderson Refuses To Cool Off

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson had another huge night on Tuesday against the Tigers. Anderson started the game off with another home run and finished the game 4-for-5 with three runs and three RBI. Anderson’s groin injury is clearly in the past and the shortstop is currently one of the hottest hitters in the […]

Dylan Cease Picks Up Fourth Victory

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease picked up his fourth victory of the season on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Cease allowed five hits, two runs, three walks and struck out three batters in 6 1/3 innings. It was the youngsters longest outing of the season. Cease now owns a 4-1 record with a […]

Luis Robert Exits With Sore Hand

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) exited Tuesday’s contest against the Tigers early with right hand soreness. Robert injured his hand after diving for a ball in the top of the seventh inning. The prospect finished the game 0-for-3 and was replaced by Luis Gonzalez. The outfielder is considered day-to-day. It’s a sigh of […]

Tom Brady Throwing Deep Passes In Training Camp

It seems age is just a number for Tom Brady. Per ESPN, the 43-year-old quarterback was seemingly heaving 50-60-yard passes in practice on Monday, according to head coach Bruce Arians. In addition, Brady is continuing to develop more chemistry with his wide receivers and tight ends, including Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller. The former […]

Masahiro Tanaka Roughed Up On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka pitched poorly on Tuesday, allowing the Rays to pick up six runs (five earned) over four innings. The 14.1% hard-hit rate that Tanaka allowed was the worst mark he’s posted in a single game over his MLB career, and it wasn’t particularly surprising given that the 31-year-old left […]

Antonio Senzatela Tosses Eight Scoreless Innings Tuesday

Colorado Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela scattered three hits across eight scoreless innings during Tuesday's 2-1 extra-innings loss to the Houston Astros. He struck out six batters without issuing a walk. The 25-year-old deserved a better fate in this one, but his offense could not solve Zack Greinke. Regardless, Senzatela has had a productive start to […]

Luis Castillo, Trevor Bauer To Start In Wednesday Doubleheader

The Cincinnati Reds are expected to return to action in a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals that begins at 5:05 PM EST on Wednesday. The Reds have been idle since one of their players tested positive for COVID-19 this past Friday. No further positive tests have surfaced since and the team is ready to […]
