Eric Hosmer Enjoying Current Road Trip

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer has heated up recently, raising his OPS from .516 to .750 since April 19. During the current road trip, Hosmer is 9-for-20 (.450 average) with three home runs and has collected knocks in nine of his last 11 games. After a brutal start, Hosmer has lifted his numbers […]

Jay Bruce Sitting Against Lefty

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce is not in the lineup against Cubs left-handed starter Jon Lester on Wednesday. Edwin Encarnacion is at first base and is hitting third, while Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth. Encarnacion is hitting .273 with a homer and two RBI in 11 career at-bats […]

DJ LeMahieu Remains Out Of Lineup

While the New York Yankees will see infielder Giovanny Urshela return to the starting lineup Wednesday, fellow infielder DJ LeMahieu remains out. The 30-year-old suffered a knee injury Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. LeMahieu was one of New York's stalwarts early on this season as the original members of the starting lineup have nearly […]

No Serious Damage For Mark Canha

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha doesn't have any serious damage in his right wrist. He received a cortisone injection and shouldn't have to miss much time. Canha was placed on the injured list and is hitting only .200 (8-for-40) with two home runs and four RBI on the season. […]

Garrett Cooper Thinks He'll Be Fine

Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Garrett Cooper had just returned from the injured list on Tuesday but had to leave the game early after being hit by a pitch on the outside of his left hand. X-rays came back negative, so Cooper is currently listed as day-to-day. He's having trouble making a fist with his left […]

Josh Bell's Two-RBI Double Sends Pirates To Extras

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell finished 2-for-5 while driving in two runs in the top of the ninth to send the game to extras at 3-3, where the Pirates eventually defeated the Rangers 6-4. Bell also struck out twice in the game, but his two-run double puts his average with runners in scoring position […]

Carlos Santana Has a Fine Day at the Plate on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana had a great day at the plate on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and two singles. He drove in two runs and scored two of his own. Santana is now slashing .316/.430/.463 and carried the Cleveland offense for most of April. His hot streak looks like it […]

Matt Carpenter Strikes Out Four Times on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter struck out four times on Tuesday, dropping his batting average to .202. He did draw a walk, but his slash line of .202/.328/.356 will be hard to keep at the top of the batting order in St. Louis. Carpenter had a slow start last season before blowing up, so […]

Matt Olson to Begin Rehab Assignment on Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A on Wednesday. Olson suffered a fractured hamate bone on March 21 and hasn't played since then. The Athletics aren't going to rush Olson back, so he should get plenty of at-bats in the minors. Olson should be back with […]

Lewis Brinson Optioned, Garrett Cooper Activated

The Miami Marlins optioned outfielder Lewis Brinson to Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday and activated first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (calf) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Brinson was hitting just .197/.247/.263 with five doubles and no home runs in 27 games, and he's fanned 28 times and walked twice in 82 plate appearances. […]

Neil Walker Available To Pinch Hit

Miami Marlins infielder Neil Walker (knee) had an MRI exam on Monday reveal a mild bone bruise in his right knee. He is not starting on Tuesday but is available to pinch hit. The 33-year-old veteran has three homers and four RBI while hitting .260 in 77 at-bats for the Fish so far in 2019. […]

Orioles-White Sox Postponed Tuesday

The game between the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White has been postponed on Tuesday due to inclement weather. It'll be made up as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Orioles starter Andrew Cashner and White Sox starter Ivan Nova will likely be pushed back until Wednesday. Make sure you take any players from either team […]

Yandy Diaz Still Hitting

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz has continued his possible breakout campaign with two more hits on Monday against the Royals. There was concern about how much playing time he would see before the season began until injuries made way for him to claim the starting third base job. He’s currently hitting .298/.395/.596 with […]

Michael Chavis Continues Hot Start

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis finished 2-for-4 with three runs batted in in a win over Oakland on Monday. Chavis' two-RBI single in the third was part of Boston's six-run outburst before another run-scoring single in the fifth gave him his second multi-RBI game of his young career. A top prospect in the Boston […]

No Timetable For Ryan Zimmerman

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) said he's been dealing with plantar fasciitis for "a couple weeks" and doesn't have a timetable for a return. However, he doesn't think it's as serious as his 2015 case when he missed seven weeks. Don't be surprised if the 34-year-old veteran takes a while to come back. […]

Mark Canha Lands On Injured List, Ryan Buchter Recalled

The Oakland Athletics placed first baseman/outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) on the 10-day injured list before Monday's game in Boston due to a sprained right wrist suffered over the weekend. In the corresponding move, the team moved to recall reliever Ryan Buchter from Triple-A Las Vegas. Canha flew to Los Angeles on Monday and he will […]

Two More Hits For Cody Bellinger As He Continues To Mash

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger went 2-for-3 with a walk, RBI and a strikeout in Monday's 3-2 road loss against the San Francisco Giants. It's amazing that fantasy owners and DFS players are likely complaining about the night, that's how hot Bellinger has been. He is slashing a ridiculous .434/.508/.906 and he has […]

Jesus Aguilar Mashes Two Homers

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 3-for-4 with two homers, four RBI and two runs in Monday's win against the Rockies. This game was very big for Aguilar, as these were his first two home runs and only his third and fourth extra-base hits on the season. Still, these three hits only brought up […]

Trey Mancini Feeling Better

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini has been out since Saturday with a bruised right index finger, but he is feeling better and expects to be back in the lineup as soon as Tuesday. However, manager Brandon Hyde said the team is being cautious and will consider the cooler temperatures in Chicago the next few days. […]

Mitch Moreland is Out on Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Moreland, so he should be back in the lineup soon. Michael Chavis will cover first base and bat sixth against righty Frankie Montas. Chavis […]

Justin Bour Ready To Put April Behind Him

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Justin Bour hit his third home run of the season in the Angels 7-3 win over the Royals on Sunday. It has been a miserable start to his Angels career, slashing .179/.272/.333 through 78 at-bats to begin the season. Bour is only two seasons removed from driving in 83 runs […]

Yuli Gurriel Scuffling At The Plate

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Astros 4-1 win over the Indians on Sunday. Gurriel is in the midst of an awful 3-for-28 slump at the plate right now and is slugging only .390 through his first 100 at-bats this season. The hope is his ninth double of […]

Nate Lowe Being Called Up To Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays are calling up first baseman Nate Lowe on Monday to join the team in Kansas City. In 90 plate appearances this year for Triple-A Durham, Lowe slashed .300/.444/.543 with three home runs, 16 runs, 14 RBI and one stolen base. He also won minor league player of the year in 2018, […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

We may be coming to the end of April, but there remains an overwhelming majority of the season left to play. In most cases, you are still advised not to make drastic decisions regarding your fantasy roster. Of course, that isn't to say you should do nothing. There's always room for improvement. Whether you're patching […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 5

We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]
