Max Muncy Smacks Two-Run Home Run Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy ended his 2018 regular season on a high note in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rockies. Muncy went 2-for-4 with a single and a two-run home run.

Jefry Marte a Solid DFS Option

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jefry Marte is starting on Sunday, batting cleanup. He is taking the spot of Jose Fernandez, who is sitting against the left-handed Brett Anderson. Marte has not been particularly good this year, but he has shown power against left-handers and is hitting behind Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. He's not […]

C.J. Cron Reaches 30 Homer Season

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron reached a milestone Saturday versus Toronto. He would homer to get the Rays on the board. The HR would be his 30th of the season, which is a meaningful milestone for many people. His previous high in a season was 16, which he achieved multiple times. He is […]

Eric Hosmer Goes Yard In Loss

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer went deep for his 18th homer Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Friars free-agent splash of 2018 has endured a disappointing year, slashing .252/.320/.398 with seven steals and 140 R+RBI. Hosmer’s strikeouts were way up this year and his OPS has dipped over 160 points compared to last […]

Ryan Rua Will Start at First Base on Saturday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ryan Rua will draw the start at first base and bat sixth versus lefty James Paxton on Saturday. Rua has been used as a part-time player since being recalled by the Rangers. He's been slumping at the plate, so that has not helped him find more playing time. He's usually a […]

Ryon Healy is Out on Saturday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Ryan Zimmerman Remains Out of the Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Justin Bour is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Bour will play first base and bat second versus righty Mike Foltynewicz.

C.J. Cron Offers Lone Offensive Versus Yankees Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron offered the one moment of offensive progress Thursday versus New York. He would drive a ball 429 feet for a solo homer. The Rays would lose 12-1 but Cron moved a step closer to a milestone. He is batting .255 with 29 HR and 72 RBI in 2018. […]
