Miguel Cabrera Not Starting Against Guardians

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. Fantasy managers need to make sure to remove Cabrera from their lineups for the final game of the first half of the season.

Carlos Santana Back From Restricted List

The Seattle Mariners reinstated first baseman Carlos Santana from the restricted list due to a family emergency on Saturday and optioned infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Trey Mancini Mashes Ninth Home Run Friday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/designated hitter Trey Mancini tallied a three-hit game on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays, which included his ninth home run of the season. The 30-year-old slugger's power and counting stats decline (35 runs, 37 RBI) should've been expected after Camden Yards drastically moved back the left field wall, but he is […]

The Seattle Mariners placed first baseman Carlos Santana on the restricted list on Friday due to a family emergency and recalled infielder Kevin Padlo from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (knee) is starting at first base and hitting second on Friday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Kyle Gibson.

Josh Bell Hits 13th Homer Thursday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell went deep Thursday, bringing his season home run total to 13. He was 2-for-5 at the plate in a 5-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 14

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Frank Schwindel Activated, Andrelton Simmons To IL

The Chicago Cubs activated first baseman Frank Schwindel (back) from the injured list on Thursday and placed shortstop Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain in a corresponding move.

Jesus Aguilar Reaches Base Twice Thursday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar singled and walked in four at-bats on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He also scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning. Besides his stellar 2018, Aguilar has been a pretty mediocre fantasy player, and that's continued in 2022. Over 80 games, he's hitting .248 with […]
