Superflex Strategy: How to Attack Draft Day

Draft season is here, and you're preparing to get to work defeating your opponents. Leagues aren't won on draft day, but they can certainly be lost on them. In Superflex, the strategy is vastly different than that of redraft. The importance of quarterback is greatly amplified because of the ability to start two quarterbacks every […]

Robbie Grossman Homers Again Monday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Robbie Grossman launched his fourth homer of the season Monday in a loss to the Diamondbacks. Grossman got the A's on the board in the seventh inning with a solo shot to account for the only offense against Arizona starter Zac Gallen. Grossman has been tearing the cover off the ball lately […]

Chris Bassitt Limits The Damage Vs Arizona

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt wasn't sharp Monday vs the Diamondbacks, but managed to allow just three runs in 5 1/3 innings. Bassitt had traffic on the bases all night as he allowed five hits and three walks and was helped when Yusmeiro Petit came on in the sixth inning and stranded runners Bassitt […]

Salvador Perez Leaves Mondays Game With Eye Issue

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (eye) got the day off on Sunday as he was dealing with blurry vision in his left eye.

Jordan Lyles Is Tagged For Six Earned Runs

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles gave up seven runs, six earned, on Monday night in a 14-4 loss to the San Diego Padres. In four innings of work, Lyles allowed seven hits and one walk while only striking out two batters. The right-hander saw his ERA rise to 7.52, and you have to wonder […]

Evan White Homers Twice Monday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White went 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and two runs in Monday's loss to the Dodgers. White has been off to a rocky start to his rookie season with a triple slash of .139/.216/.329 but hopefully the two-homer game can get him on track. In the minors, White had […]

Daniel Vogelbach Continues To Struggle

Seattle Mariners first baseman and DH Daniel Vogelbach went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Monday's loss to the Dodgers. Vogelbach has just five hits on the season in 62 plate appearances and is batting .098 on the season. If Vogelbach is to continue his struggles, he will see his playing time continue to decline as […]

Tom Murphy Not Close To Returning

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy reportedly isn't close to returning to the Mariners anytime soon. The broken bone in his foot has been progressing slowly and while manager Scott Servais says catching is what is bothering Murphy the most, the Mariners currently don't have plans to bring him back even as a DH. Unfortunately, there […]

Austin Nola Collects Two Hits Monday

Seattle Mariners catcher Austin Nola went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run in Monday's loss to the Dodgers. Nola has been a consistent source of production at the catcher position this season and with the news that Tom Murphy isn't close to returning, Nola could be the primary catcher for a while. Nola has […]

Kyle Seager Crushes Fourth Homer Monday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Dodgers. Seager has been a beast at third base this season and his 21 RBI are tied for the 5th in the majors among all hitters. He also […]

J.P. Crawford Goes Hitless Again Monday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Monday's loss to the Dodgers. After a hot start to the season, Crawford has cooled off bringing his batting average down to .253 and hasn't stolen a base since Aug. 5. Crawford still has potential upside to be a startable player as the everyday […]

Justin Dunn Gets Shelled By Dodgers

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn gave up six runs on five hits and a walk through two innings against the Dodgers on Monday. It seems that after starting this season with some good luck and a high strand rate, reality came back to Dunn as all of his baserunners scored tonight. Dunn also only […]

Jason Verrett Earning Starter Snaps

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett has shown up looking frisky in training camp and is earning some starter repetitions. Verrett was a Pro Bowler for the Chargers in his only healthy season in 2015, and he could emerge as a legitimate option in the team's secondary opposite Richard Sherman if he can just stay […]

Brandon Aiyuk Further Ahead Than Most Rookies

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is beginning to separate himself from the pack after just one training camp practice, and the 49ers are hoping that he can be an immediate contributor to the offense with Deebo Samuel (foot) in question to begin the season due to a fracture in his foot. Head […]

Hanser Alberto Goes Hitless Monday

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays. The 27-year-old has been great for the O's all season long and still has impressive numbers (.313 batting average, .490 slugging percentage), but he has hit just .258 over the last seven days. He has two […]

Alex Cobb Hit Hard Monday, Takes Loss

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb fell to 1-2 in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Cobb pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on eight hits (including a three-run home run) and a walk with four strikeouts. The veteran now owns a 3.76 ERA with 21 strikeouts and nine walks over 26 1/3 […]

Edwin Encarnacion Finally Gets A Hit

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk on Monday against the Detroit Tigers. Encarnacion has really struggled with his new team, but it was nice to see him get a hit Monday. The slugger has traditionally been a slow starter, but also can turn it on quickly. […]

Luis Robert Hits A Pair Of Bombs

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went yard twice on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers. It was the rookie’s only hits and he also had three RBI. Robert has lived up to all the expectations so far and is now hitting .286 with five bombs, 13 RBI and four stolen bases. Robert has about as […]

Gio Gonzalez Records 10 K’s

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez put together his strongest start of the season on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers. Over 4 2/3 innings, Gonzalez allowed six hits, two runs, two walks and struck out 10 batters. It was easily the veteran’s strongest start of the season, but he still owns a 6.00 ERA […]

Tim Anderson Stays Red-Hot

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson stayed red-hot on Monday versus the Tigers. Anderson started the game off with a home run and hit another later in the game. He finished 2-for-5 with a pair of runs and two RBI. Anderson has been on fire since returning from the injured list and is now hitting […]

Yoan Moncada Goes Yard

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 2-for-5 with a solo home run on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers. Moncada was in a bit of a funk before picking a hit and four RBI on Sunday, but it looks like he’s back normal with a pair of hits. Moncada can do it all and […]

Aroldis Chapman Makes His First Appearance Of The Season

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman allowed one run over one inning with two strikeouts against the Red Sox on Monday. Chapman rejoined the major league team earlier on Monday after a coronavirus related absence kept him sidelined for the team’s first 21 games, and the Yankees wasted no time in getting him game action […]

Luke Voit Clubs Two Home Runs On Monday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit hit two home runs against the Red Sox on Monday. Voit came into Monday’s game with a strong .867 OPS despite a higher than usual 33.3% strikeout rate for the season, and it’s come with a more aggressive plate approach. Voit is swinging at nearly everything inside of […]
