Justin Turner Exits Early Monday

Boston Red Sox second/third baseman Justin Turner (unknown) exited Monday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners in the ninth inning after legging out an RBI infield single, per NESN's Tom Caron. Turner, who was designated hitting, went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, and two strikeouts. The 38-year-old has been a great fantasy asset this season, […]

Brandon Lowe Stays Hot, Hits Two-Run Homer

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe continued his strong July at the plate in Monday's 5-1 win over the Yankees. Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout. The first-inning blast was his 14th of the season. While his season numbers are still unimpressive, the 29-year-old has batted .284 with five […]

Anthony Prato Hitting Quite Well At Triple-A

Minnesota Twins minor league infielder Anthony Prato has always been a contact-first hitter, but he has shown some increased power this season, closing in on his career-high single-season home run total. What's interesting is that Prato opened the year with woeful batting numbers at Double-A but has been one of the best hitters in Minor […]

Ha-Seong Kim Back In The Padres Lineup

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Monday against Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. Jake Cronenworth is at the keystone and hitting sixth, while Matthew Batten is at first base and batting eighth in the lineup. Kim returns to the lineup after leaving Sunday's […]

Brendan Rodgers Activated Monday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday prior to the club's series opener against the San Diego Padres. Rodgers has yet to appear in a big-league contest this season due to a shoulder injury suffered in spring training. The ailment was potentially season-ending at the […]

Mariners Acquire Josh Rojas, Dominic Canzone From Arizona

The Seattle Mariners acquired infielder Josh Rojas, outfielder/first baseman Dominic Canzone and infielder Ryan Bliss from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday in exchange for closer Paul Sewald, according to a source. Rojas could probably use a change of scenery after hitting a rough .228/.292/.296 with no homers, 26 RBI, six stolen bases and 23 runs […]

Ha-Seong Kim Exits Game With Jammed Shoulder

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim left Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers after sliding into home and jamming his shoulder. He is considered day-to-day, but manager Bob Melvin said that it is unlikely that Kim plays Monday against Colorado. Although the news isn't great, it could have been a whole lot worse, and both […]

Tucupita Marcano Likely To Undergo Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Tucupita Marcano (knee) was forced to exit early during Monday's game due to a right knee injury. He underwent further testing and the outcome is not favorable for the 23-year-old infielder. Marcano has suffered a significant right knee injury that is likely going to result in surgery. It sounds like there is […]

Braves Acquire Nicky Lopez

Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez has been traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for left-hander Taylor Hearn. This move makes sense considering the Royals have younger infielders that they want to give a chance on their rebuilding roster. Lopez is a skill defender, but has struggled with the bat this season. He's slashing […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Unlike Jake Burger, Jon Berti doesn't hit the ball out of the ballpark, but he gets on base and can occasionally nab you a few stolen bags.
