Jeremy Jeffress Gets Final Four Outs

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress picked up his third victory of the season on Tuesday against the Pirates.

With Rowan Wick struggling of late and Craig Kimbrel struggling in high leverage situations, […]

In a 6-5 extra-innings win over the Houston Astros, Texas Rangers reliever Rafael Montero entered the game of the bottom of the tenth to earn his seventh save of the season. His team scored two runs in the top of the 10th to give him a 6-4 cushion. Montero allowed a Michael Brantley single to […]

Elvis Andrus Clears The Fences For First Time In 2020

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus hit a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth off Ryan Pressly to spark a comeback win over the Houston Astros. Andrus was 1-for-4 on the night but made his only hit count. It was the first home run of the season for Andrus during a miserable campaign. […]

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson picked up three more hits in four at-bats Tuesday against the Twins.

Dallas Keuchel Lowers ERA To 2.42

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel continued his strong season on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins. The left-hander allowed seven hits, one run (zero earned), two walks and struck out four. It wasn’t his most dominant start, but he continues to be a big part of the White Sox rotation. He now owns a […]

Aroldis Chapman Gets His First Save Of The Season

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman finally picked up his first save of the season on Tuesday, striking out one over a clean inning against the Rays. An errant 101 mph fastball that wound up behind the head of Rays third baseman Mike Brosseau sparked some postgame animosity between the two teams, but Chapman looked […]

DJ LeMahieu Clubs Two Home Runs

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu hit a pair of home runs against the Rays on Tuesday, giving him four home runs over 24 games this season. LeMahieu missed nine games between August 15 and August 29 with a thumb injury, but he hasn’t missed a beat since rejoining to the lineup with at […]

Masahiro Tanaka Strikes Out Seven On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka looked good on Wednesday, striking out seven batters over six innings with two runs allowed. Tanaka’s slider was fantastic with 11 whiffs over 42 pitches (26% swinging-strike rate), and a home run off the bat of outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was the only real damage against the 31-year-old. Encouragingly, […]

Zelim Imadaev In Need Of Victory Saturday Night

Zelim Imadaev (8-2) is in major need of a victory Saturday night, with both of his professional losses coming in the UFC. The Russian has yet to taste victory inside the Octagon. Imadaev has devastating power in his hands, with all eight of his professional wins coming by knockout -- five of those in the […]

Courtland Sutton Sees Value Crescendo As Top-15 WR

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is a top-15 wide receiver entering the 2020 year, likely to serve as Drew Lock’s primary wideout target. Sutton had a massive breakout campaign last season, hauling in 72 receptions for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns, all during a year in which he had multiple signal callers looking his […]

Cody Bellinger Out With Sore Lat

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (lat) was held out of Tuesday’s lineup with a sore lat and is day-to-day. Bellinger reportedly suffered the injury while hitting in the batting cage, and it seems unlikely to cost him more than one or two games going forward. Bellinger had fallen back down to earth after his […]

Jose Urena Could Start Against The Braves Next Monday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena could make his season debut next Monday against the Braves with starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez (hamstring) likely to miss his scheduled start that day.

Michel Pereira Making His 35th Appearance

Veteran Michel Pereira (23-11) will make his 35th professional appearance in a cage and fourth UFC appearance on Saturday. He's coming off of a tough outing against Diego Sanchez, where Pereira took the loss on a disqualification for an illegal kick that Sanchez was unable to recover from to continue. The Brazilian typically finishes his […]

Kerryon Johnson Opens 2020 As A Late-Round Upside Pick

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson enjoyed a productive eight-game stint as a rookie last year, but he very quickly finds himself usurped as the full-time back in 2020. Johnson will cede way to D'Andre Swift, while also having to worry about the presence of Bo Scarbrough, which figures to limit his weekly fantasy appeal. […]

Elieser Hernandez Slated For MRI On Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez (hamstring) was pulled from Tuesday’s start after only 39 pitches with a sore right lat, and the 25-year-old is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday to get a better understanding of the severity of his injury.

Miguel Rojas Day-to-Day With Sore Abdomen

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (abdomen) left Tuesday’s game after three at-bats with a sore abdomen and is day-to-day for now. Rojas missed most of the first month of the season with a positive coronavirus test but had been hot since rejoining the team on July 24, posting a 1.010 OPS over his first 14 […]

Jalin Turner Hunting Second Win Of 2020

Jalin Turner (9-5) will arguably face his biggest task to date when he meets Thiago Moises to open up the main card of Saturday's event. Eight of his nine wins have come by knockout. Turner is also a live-by-the-sword, die-by-the-sword fighter, with several of his losses also coming by knockout. That is a recipe for […]

James White Sees Value Dip Amid Quarterback Battle

New England Patriots running back James White had been a favored target of Tom Brady over the past six seasons, but with Cam Newton now the leader to be the team’s signal caller Week 1, White’s fantasy outlook remains much more up in the air. Sony Michel will be the likely lead rusher for the […]

Sonny Gray Rocked By St. Louis Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray was ripped by the St. Louis Cardinals in his Tuesday start. Gray failed to make it out of the first inning, registering just two outs and allowing six runs to score.

Tim Locastro Leading Off On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Locastro is starting in left field and batting leadoff against the Dodgers on Tuesday. Locastro bounced all over the lineup, but he’s now played in 11 of Arizona’s last 13 games, posting an uncharacteristically high .855 OPS over that time. Locastro is fast -- his sprint speed this season ranks in […]

Gavin Lux Starting On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux is starting on Tuesday for the fourth time since being called up last week. Lux is batting ninth for the third time this season (the other start came with Lux batting eighth), and although batting late in the order hurts his RBI chances and plate appearances, hitting in […]

Josh Allen Represents High Upside QB1 Selection

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters the 2020 campaign as a borderline QB1 in most season-long drafts. Despite just a 58.8% completion percentage last year, Allen’s use of his legs to add 510 yards and nine touchdowns pops him up draft boards. Allen made the Bills’ offense go last year without many household names at […]

Thiago Moises Opening Up Saturday's Main Card

Since earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series, Thiago Moises (13-4) has flip flopped wins and losses in the UFC and currently sits at 2-2 in the organization. He is most recently coming off of a second-round victory over veteran Michael Johnson earlier this year in May. Nine of the Brazilian's 13 career wins […]

Edwin Rios Starting On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Edwin Rios is starting at third base in place of the injured Justin Turner (hamstring) on Tuesday. Rios was activated on Tuesday after a stint on the injured list that kept him out since August 16, but the 26-year-old had been red-hot with a 1.012 OPS over his first 14 games […]

Elieser Hernandez Diagnosed With Sore Lat

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez (hamstring) was diagnosed with a sore right lat following an early exit from Tuesday’s start. Hernandez managed to get through only two innings (39 pitches) against the Blue Jays before leaving with the hamstring injury.

Ian Thomas Sustains Toe Injury, Return Murky

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is hampered by a toe injury that he sustained during practice Monday, one that came back negative after X-rays. Head coach Matt Rhule didn’t sound overly concerned about the ailment, but with Week 1’s matchup against Las Vegas less than two weeks away, Thomas’ DFS upside remains unclear. With […]

Walker Lockett Joins Mariners After Waivers Claim

Right-handed pitcher Walker Lockett was claimed off of waivers by the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday after having been designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday. Lockett has made two appearances (one start) this season, yielding five runs in eight IP with eight strikeouts to his credit. Having been utilized as a swingman for much […]

Ryan McMahon Presents A Home-Only Asset

Colorado Rockies first/second baseman Ryan McMahon has the backing of Coors Field for half of his games, yet he has been unable to become a consistent season-long asset in 2020. His home/road splits this year have been drastic, slashing .271/.386/.576 at his friendly confines, while slashing .140/.228/.240 away from the hitter’s haven. Coors has been […]
