Yonder Alonso Gets on Base Four Times on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso finished 3-for-3 with a walk on Tuesday, scoring a run and driving one in as well. Alonso's hits were all singles, but it was still a good enough showing to lift his batting average to .261 and his OPS to .779. Alonso has always been a streaky hitter, and […]

Josh Bell Back In Lineup Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against Clayton Kershaw. In the past week, Bell has an .888 OPS with six hits and three walks. He is a better hitter against left-handed pitchers in his career than righties with an .801 OPS against southpaws versus a .723 OPS against […]

Derek Dietrich is Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cameron Maybin will slide over to left field and bat fifth against lefty Ryan Yarbrough. Dietrich is getting the night off against a left-handed starter, but is normally the starting left fielder in Miami. Dietrich […]

Jose Abreu Expected To Return Wednesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (ankle) is expected to return on Wednesday. Abreu is out of Tuesday’s lineup, but it’s a good sign that he should only miss one game. Designated hitter Matt Davidson is at first base Tuesday and will bat seventh.

Ronald Guzman Activated From DL, Starting Tuesday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (head) was activated from the seven-day concussion disabled list on Tuesday and is starting at first base and batting eighth against Astros starter Dallas Keuchel. Guzman is hitting just .227 with seven home runs and 30 RBI in 185 at-bats on the season, so he's really only an option […]

Ryan Zimmerman Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Weekend

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (oblique) could begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend. Zimmerman's recovery has been extra slow, but he's resuming baseball activities and could return from the disabled list in a week or two. After a bounce-back 2017 season, Zimm has struggled so far in 2017, hitting just .217/.280/.409 with […]

Astros Option A.J. Reed To Minors

Houston Astros first baseman A.J. Reed has been optioned to the minors to make room for backup catcher Tim Federowicz. Reed's cup of coffee lasted only three at-bats to this point in the season, as he is the odd man out with the news that catcher Brian McCann will undergo knee surgery. The 6-foot-4, 2014 […]

C.J. Cron, Willy Adames Sitting Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron and shortstop Willy Adames are not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Jake Bauers is starting at first base and hitting third, while infielder Daniel Robertson is at second base and batting sixth against Marlins starter Trevor Richards. Bauers has hit .253 with just two homers and seven […]

Yuli Gurriel Coming Off .330/.357/.500 Month Of June

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel will look to stretch an impressive month of June into July when the Astros open up a series with the Rangers on Tuesday night. Gurriel had a fantastic June, slashing .330/.357/.500 with three home runs, seven doubles and 21 runs batted in. Gurriel got off to a slow start […]

Brandon Drury In, Greg Bird And Gleyber Torres Out

New York Yankees versatile infielder Brandon Drury is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. Drury will play first base for the slumping Greg Bird, who will sit the game out. Also sitting is the spectacular rookie second baseman Gleyber Torres. Fantasy owners will undoubtedly be frustrated with the news since the youngster […]

Jose Abreu Not Playing Tuesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (ankle) will rest Tuesday with a bruised left ankle. Abreu left Monday’s contest early and is expected to be day-to-day. Designated hitter Matt Davidson will bat seventh and play first base Tuesday. Davidson’s power is a good play in the Reds ballpark and he will face off versus […]

Jose Abreu Has A Brusied Left Ankle

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu suffered a bruised left ankle on Monday and remains day-to-day. Abreu suffered the injury off of a foul ball and was replaced by Matt Davidson. The White Sox are in a National League park and don’t have the ability to plug Abreu in as the designated hitter and […]

John Hicks Sitting on Tuesday

Detroit Tigers first baseman John Hicks is sitting on Tuesday for a routine day of rest. He'll be replaced by Jim Adduci, who is making his 2018 debut and batting fifth. While Adduci looked strong in Triple-A, hitting .309 with seven home runs and 44 RBI, facing Kyle Hendricks in your first start is no […]

Willians Astudillo Continues To Hit

Minnesota Twins catcher Willians Astudillo has only been in the majors for three games, but since being called up on June 29 the 26-year-old has done nothing but hit. The struggling Twins called up the versatile player after he’d spent nine years in the minors and so far, so good. In those three games, he’s […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 14

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 14

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

C.J. Cron With Three Hits Monday Versus The Marlins

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron recorded three hits Monday versus Miami. The biggest hit came in the ninth inning when he doubled with two outs to drive in the tying run. Miami would still win but it was still a clutch at-bat by Cron. He has tied his career high in homers at […]

Greg Bird Comes Up Short In Major Spot

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird once again disappointed Monday night for the club as they lost to the Atlanta Braves in extra innings. In four plate appearances, the 25-year-old managed one hit, walking once and striking out twice. His key moment of the game, however, came in the 10th inning, as he stepped […]

Jose Abreu Exits Early On Monday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (foot) left Monday’s game early. Abreu took a foul ball off of his foot and was limping. Abreu stayed in for another inning but was pinch hit for. Designated hitter Matt Davidson replaced Abreu. The White Sox are playing in a National League park and are without the designated […]

Jose Osuna Optioned; Enny Romero Cut For Nick Kingham

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jose Osuna was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday. Osuna only had 16 plate appearances in the month of June. He managed two hits and had four strikeouts. Enny Romero was also designated for assignment on Monday in order to make room for Nick Kingham. Kingham will start Monday against the Dodgers […]

Josh Bell is Out on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. David Freese will bat sixth and play first base against lefty Alex Wood. Bell does not hit quite as well against left-handed pitching, so the Pirates will go with Freese at first for Monday's […]

Matt Adams Will Begin Rehab Assignment on Tuesday

Washington Nationals first baseman/outfielder Matt Adams (finger) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday. Adams was able to hit in a simulated game without any issues on Monday. There is a chance that Adams is activated and back with the Nats on Wednesday. He's been out since mid-June but is very close […]

Ryan Zimmerman Nearing Rehab Assignment

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (oblique) hit in a simulated game on Monday. Matt Adams (finger) and Matt Wieters (hamstring) were also able to get in some swings during Monday's sim game.

Tigers Recall Jim Adduci from Triple-A

The Detroit Tigers have recalled first baseman Jim Adduci from Triple-A. Adduci was hitting .309 with seven home runs, 44 RBI and eight stolen bases over 70 minor league games. Adduci will be a part of the mix at first base in Detroit and is a player to monitor if he can earn enough starts.

Jake Bauers Sitting Monday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers is not in the starting lineup in a National League park on Monday. C.J. Cron is at first base and will hit sixth against Marlins starter Wei-Yen Chen. Cron is an interesting DFS flier today against a lefty, as he's hitting .264 with five of his 16 home […]
