Justin Smoak Smashes Another Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Justin Smoak went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Reds. Smoak got the Brewers out to a 1-0 lead in the first with a single that drove in teammate Christian Yelich. He later extended Milwaukee's lead with a two-run homer in the […]

Aaron Civale Strikes Out Eight In Loss

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Aaron Civale (3-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out eight and taking the loss against Minnesota. Civale was cursed by the long ball Monday with all three runs coming from dingers. He had allowed just three home runs in 34 innings before […]

Cesar Hernandez Leads Off With Home Run

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Twins. Hernandez didn't wait long to make an impact with his leadoff blast in the bottom of the first inning. After going 26 games to start the season without a homer, the 30-year-old […]

Carlos Santana Singles Three Times Monday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Monday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota. Santana singled three times, including his RBI single in the seventh inning. For the season, he still owns a pedestrian .208./389/.323 slash line. He's performing below fantasy owners expectations thus far, and could be a potential buy-low trade […]

Christian Yelich Swipes Bag Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Monday's victory over the Reds. Yelich's batting average on the season is still below the Mendoza Line, but that's still mainly a product of his extremely slow start. Over his last 20 games Yelich reached base at a […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Washington's passing situation is obviously not great.

Rory McIlroy Still Struggling With His Game

It is strange to describe Rory McIlroy as slumping, but even McIlroy would agree with that characterization of his current form. After starting the 2019-20 season in blazing fashion, the 31-year-old has struggled mightily since play resumed following the layoff for COVID-19. McIlroy has failed to post a top-10 finish since the restart and has […]
