Dakota Hudson Puts Up A Quality Start On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson contributed a quality start on Wednesday, tossing six good innings. He allowed two runs on three hits and three walks, striking out three. Hudson hasn't been going as deep into games as the Cardinals would certainly like, so it was nice to see him complete six innings in […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/27/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

One man stands above the rest entering play Thursday: Nationals ace Max Scherzer. His performance will likely largely determine how the slate plays out, for better or worse. As the only true high-priced elite arm, Scherzer’s exposure is likely to be sky high, so owners will need to decide if they want to stay chalk […]

Elieser Hernandez Goes Just Four Innings On Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eliser Hernandez lasted just four innings in Wednesday's start. In his four innings, he allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk. He did strike out seven, but it took him 96 pitches to get just 12 outs. Hernandez has excellent swing-and-miss stuff, but he throws a lot […]

Craig Kimbrel Throws Another Scoreless Inning

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel threw another scoreless inning on Wednesday versus the Tigers. Kimbrel did allow a walk, but struck out two on the evening. Kimbrel has now gone five straight outings without allowing a run and has struck out 11 batters and walked four without allowing a hit over 4 2/3 innings. […]

Nico Hoerner Picks Up Three Hits

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner went 3-for-3 with two runs, one RBI and a walk on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Hoerner is beginning to heat up again and has six hits over his last 14 at-bats with four runs, three RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Hoerner has been splitting time with […]

Ian Happ Breaks Out Of Slump With Three Hits

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ went 3-for-4 with a run scored and walk on Wednesday versus the Tigers. Happ has been one of the long bright spots offensively for the Cubs, but has been in a slump with just five hits over his last 24 at-bats. The outfielder has also been leading off with Kris […]

Jon Lester Returns To Form In Loss

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester bounced back from a couple of rough starts on Wednesday against the Tigers. The lefty allowed eight hits, but only one run, one walk and struck out five in five innings. It’s nice to see Lester return to form, even against a weak Tigers lineup. The veteran still owns […]

Texans Working Out Cody Kessler, C.J. Prosise, Ryan Grant

The Houston Texans worked out free-agent quarterback Cody Kessler, running back C.J. Prosise and wide receiver Ryan Grant on Wednesday. Kessler was most recently released by the Patriots. The 27-year-old out of USC was a third-round pick of the Browns in 2016, but he lasted just two seasons there before a quick stop in Jacksonville […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Extends Hitting Streak To Nine Games

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a pair of doubles in Wednesday's 9-1 victory over the Red Sox Wednesday to extend his hitting streak to nine games. He collected three RBI and a pair of runs in the rout, upping his batting average to .255 on the season. Despite the week-plus hitting […]

49ers Expected To Sign River Cracraft

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to sign former Broncos wide receiver River Cracraft after working him out on Wednesday, according to a source. Cracraft impressed during his workout and knows the system. The Niners haven't ruled out signing another player, given the season-ending injury to Jalen Hurd (knee) and with Deebo Samuel (foot) a […]

Randal Grichuk Slugs Eighth Big Fly

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk slugged his eighth homer of the season during the team's 9-1 victory over the Red Sox on Wednesday. His shot in the first inning was of the solo variety as he finished the evening going 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI. Grichuk is up to a .307/.346/.594 slash line […]

Rowdy Tellez Blasts Two Homers

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez belted a pair of homers during the team's 9-1 win over the Red Sox Wednesday, upping his season total to six. He finished the contest going 3-for-4 with four RBI as he's now slashing a respectable .286/.340/.653 in August. The recent signing of Daniel Vogelbach may pose a […]

Browns Claim Damion Willis Off Waivers

The Cleveland Browns claimed wide receiver Damion Willis off waivers from the Bengals on Wednesday. Willis played in 10 games (two starts) for Cincinnati in his rookie season in 2019, catching nine passes on 16 targets for 82 yards and no touchdowns. The Troy product went undrafted and will just be providing depth at the […]

Tim Anderson Continues Elite Production To Begin 2020

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has proven so far this season that his emergence as a top-tier fantasy asset has been no fluke. Through his first 21 games, the majors’ batting average leader from last year has only improved to the tune of a .345 average and 1.031 OPS. Anderson has particularly demolished left-handed […]

Denzel Mims Does Some Light Running

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) missed practice again on Wednesday, but he was seen doing some light running on the side. The Jets are hoping to have Mims back at practice soon, and the 59th overall pick needs all the development he can in this unusual offseason before the regular season […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Kenyan Drake Continue To Sit Out

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) and running back Kenyan Drake (foot) continue to sit out of practice, and head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that he doesn't want either player to practice until they're 100 percent healthy. Neither player's injury is considered serious, but the Cardinals aren't taking any chances early in training camp […]

Zack Greinke Eschews Yielding Homers Early On In 2020

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Zack Greinke has returned to Cy Young form during the shortened 2020 season, largely on the back of not allowing batters to take him deep. Through his first six starts and 35 ⅓ innings, Greinke has not allowed a home run, having amassed a 2.29 ERA. His success has been largely […]
