Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Showing Hints Of Breakout Season

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has reached base in each of his five games so far this year. One of the most promising adjustments he's made at the plate so far has been in his discipline. He's walked three times through five games. Going into this year, he'd only walked 66 times […]

Dominic Smith Belts First Homer Of The Season

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith blasted a two-run home run in the Mets' 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Smith, playing left field and batting fifth, went 1-for-4 on the day, with just the HR, his first of the 2021 campaign. After, almost inexplicably, sitting the first game of the season, […]

Pete Alonso Hits First Home Run Of Season

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, two runs scored, and a walk on Tuesday in the Mets' 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Alonso is coming off a red-hot spring, so this showing in just the second game of the season bodes well for a […]

Jose Abreu Drives In Five

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and five RBI on Tuesday versus the Seattle Mariners. The grand slam would be Abreu's 200th career home run.

Freddie Freeman Smacks Solo Shot On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. It was nice to see a pulse at the plate, as Freeman was 0-for-9 during the Braves opening series. Despite the slow start, the 2020 NL MVP remains one of the best hitters in […]

Matt Olson Out Of Tuesday's Lineup With Bruised Knee

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (knee) is out for Tuesday's game with a bruised knee. Olson sustained the injury from sliding into the wall while trying to catch a foul ball the other day. Manager Bob Melvin said the MRI revealed no structural damage, so it appears as if Olson and the Athletics dodged […]

Rhys Hoskins Sitting Out Tuesday's Game Against Mets

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins will get his first day off of 2021, as he is not in the lineup on Tuesday. Hoskins has looked good at the plate so far, going 5-for-17 with three doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in four games. With Hoskins out, Brad Miller will get the start […]

Ronald Guzman Starting At First Base

Texas Rangers infielder Ronald Guzman is getting a start at first base on Tuesday with Nate Lowe shifting to the designated hitter slot. The club is facing the Toronto Blue Jays and veteran right-handed starter Tanner Roark. Guzman, who bats from the left side, is hitless with two strikeouts through five at-bats this season, while […]

Colin Moran Homers In Second Straight Game Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran hit his second homer in as many days on Monday, as he went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-3 loss to the Reds. Moran is showing off the power early this year, with three of his five hits going for extra-bases while sporting a .857 slugging […]

Ehire Adrianza Placed On Restricted List

Atlanta Braves infielder Ehire Adrianza had to leave the team for a personal reason and has been placed on the restricted list. He can return to the team after he goes through the league's COVID-19 intake protocols. Adrianza made the team's Opening Day roster after he swung a hot bat in spring training, but he's […]

Garrett Cooper Back In The Lineup On Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Garrett Cooper is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Yet another weird thing about baseball in 2020/2021: Cooper was officially placed on the injured list on Monday due to an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine, and he will only spend one day out of […]

The 27-year-old is up to seven knocks on the young season, slashing .412/.545/.647 with an RBI and three runs scored. Cronenworth batted leadoff on Monday and his versatility on both sides of the diamond should […]

Josh Bell, Brad Hand Among Nationals Not On Roster

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell and closer Brad Hand are the biggest names that do not appear on the team's roster as they are set to play their first game of the year Tuesday following a coronavirus outbreak. Nor are Kyle Schwarber or Josh Harrison, or either catcher Yan Gomes or Alex Avila. Starting […]

We have an interesting 8-game slate on tap tonight. There are four elite pitching options with Yu Darvish, Clayton Kershaw, Lucas Giolito, and Tyler Glasnow.

Freddie Freeman Hitless Through Opening Series

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman had a rough opening series against the Philadelphia Phillies. He went 0-for-9 as the Phillies completed a three-game sweep. On the bright side, he walked three times and only struck out once. Freeman is one of the game's best overall hitters and he's locked into the three-spot in one […]

Ryan Mountcastle Strikes Out Two More Times Monday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Ryan Mountcastle continued to strike out at the plate in Monday's 0-7 loss to the Yankees, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The 24-year-old now has seven strikeouts to go with a .125 batting average over the first four games of the season. This is obviously a small sample size, but Mountcastle […]
