Ronald Guzman Optioned to the Minors

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman has been optioned to the minors on Tuesday. Guzman is hitting .193/.282/.396 with eight home runs and 29 RBI this season with Texas. He's been disappointing, so the Rangers will option him to the minors, so he can get in some extra work. Logan Forsythe will play first base […]

Yonder Alonso Joins Rockies

Colorado Rockies first baseman Yonder Alonso had his contract purchased from Triple-A on Tuesday. Alonso hit .178/.275/.301 with the White Sox before being designated for assignment by the team recently. The Rockies have recalled Alonso after he was crushing the ball in the minors. He'll basically be a bench bat for the team, so he […]

Danny Santana Sits Out on Tuesday

Texas Rangers infielder/outfielder Danny Santana (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Santana has been crushing the ball this season, but went 0-for-5 last game. He'll get a much deserved day off here. Shin-Soo Choo will bat leadoff and play left field versus lefty Tommy Milone. Choo has […]

Mitch Moreland Activated Off Of Injured List

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) has been activated off of the 10-day injured list.

Moreland has mashed right-handers this season, hitting all 13 […]

For the game, Goldschmidt ended up 1-for-4 with a walk, four RBI, and a run scored. He's been struggling lately, but this could be […]

Jose Ramirez Does a Bit of Everything on Monday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez did a little bit of everything on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base.

Josh Naylor Optioned to Minors

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Naylor has been optioned to the minors on Sunday. Naylor hit .236/.287/.358 with three home runs and 16 RBI during his time in the majors. However, there just wasn't enough playing time available for Naylor. It's better if Naylor gets regular playing time in the minors, so he can […]

Mark Reynolds Has Been Designated for Assignment

Colorado Rockies first baseman Mark Reynolds has been designated for assignment by the organization on Sunday. The veteran slugger hit .170/.290/.311 with four home runs and 20 RBI this season. He's only a few homers shy of the 300 mark for his career, so hopefully he'll get another chance elsewhere. Fantasy owners can go ahead […]
