The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 9

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots.

Josh Naylor Gets the Start in Right Field

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Naylor will draw the start in right field versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Naylor normally plays first base, but he won't get too many chances at first with Eric Hosmer there. Franmil Reyes (rest) will get the day off, but should be back in there on Sunday. […]

Hunter Dozier Gets The Nod at First Base

Kansas City Royals infielder Hunter Dozier will slide over from his normal position at third base and play first base in Saturday's contest against the New York Yankees. Ryan O'Hearn usually gets the start at first base, but he'll sit out against the left-hander J.A. Happ. Dozier will bat fifth versus Happ and is a […]

Chris Davis Expected to Sit on Saturday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is expected to sit out of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Davis sat out on Friday in an NL-park against a right-handed pitcher. The O's face a lefty starter on Saturday in Kyle Freeland, so Davis should be on the bench once again. Trey Mancini should draw […]

Rhys Hoskins Collects Two Hits Friday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Friday at Milwaukee. It was Hoskins' first multi-hit game since May 8, a span in which he's hit a paltry .164. The main issue for Hoskins has been the strikeouts. He's whiffing at a career-high 25.5 percent rate this season. […]

Peter Alonso Hits Another Home Run Friday

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso hit yet another home run on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo shot that was his 17th of the season.

Joey Votto Doubles, Scores Twice

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a 6-5 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Votto also walked once in the win. The veteran first baseman is off to a sluggish start this season, hitting just .215 with a .668 OPS, four homers, eight doubles, 24 […]

Chris Davis Gets Off Day in Colorado

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
