Los Angeles Angels first baseman/outfielder Jared Walsh went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, triple, double, and two additional RBI during Saturday's 11-6 victory over the New York Mets.

Garrett Cooper Headed To IL

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper was placed on the IL Saturday without designation. We know by now that this usually means it is COVID related. Cooper will be out until he clears league protocols. The timing could not be worse for Cooper, who has been scorching hot at the dish, with a .472/.513/.667 slash […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Suffers Setback

San Francisco Giants outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring, knee) felt tightness in his left hamstring while doing baserunning drills, prompting the Giants to back off on his possible return. The team's medical staff prefers to consider Wade's injury "separate" from his knee. Wade was one of the Giants leading hitters last year with 18 home […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/11/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

There are a couple of leftover aces from last night, but there are a whole lot of mediocre or worse options out there as well. Chopping the slates up doesn't help any. This looks like a day to pay up at pitcher unless you don't mind chugging Pepto while watching baseball. Hey, I'm not judging! […]

Rhys Hoskins Blasts Two Homers

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins had a big day at the plate during Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The young slugger went 3-for-4 with two home runs and two RBI in the 7-5 win. These two blasts puts Hoskins at 11 home runs on the season, but is posting a disappointing .230 batting […]

Pete Alonso In Lineup Friday

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (hand) is in the lineup for his team's game against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Alonso was hit on the hand by a pitch on Tuesday but avoided any damage. The veteran slugger will play first base and bat fourth as the Mets gear up to take […]

White Sox Option Gavin Sheets

The Chicago White Sox optioned infielder/outfielder Gavin Sheets to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and recalled right-hander Jimmy Lambert from Charlotte in a corresponding move. Sheets looked good in 54 games in his rookie season last year, but he's really struggled in his sophomore campaign, hitting .204/.268/.328 with four home runs, 10 RBI, nine runs scored, […]

Christian Walker Starting Against Phillies

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (head) is back at first base and is hitting cleanup on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Kyle Gibson.

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez (shoulder) is starting at first base and is hitting leadoff on Thursday against New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole.
