Fantasy Baseball Winners and Losers from the MLB Trade Deadline

The trade deadline has come and gone, leaving fantasy managers wondering how some of their rostered players' values have changed.

Nico Hoerner Starting On The Bench Against Marlins

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Nico Hoerner is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Miami Marlins.

Jon Berti, Brian Anderson Beginning Rehab Assignments

Miami Marlins infielders Jon Berti (groin) and Brian Anderson (shoulder) will both begin minor league rehab assignments with Triple-A Jacksonville this weekend.

Ozzie Albies Plays Catch

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (foot) played catch on Wednesday, according to skipper Brian Snitker, and he will soon ramp up other baseball activities. In a best-case scenario, Albies could return in early to mid-September. The 25-year-old is no longer using a walking boot and will continue to ramp up his rehab in the […]

The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated second baseman Jean Segura (finger) from the 60-day injured list.

Miami Marlins utility man Luke Williams stole three bases against the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday, going 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the 3-0 victory.

Jake Cronenworth Homers, Drives In Three

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth may no longer be among the top names in his own lineup anymore, but on Wednesday night he showed why he was an All-Star selection this year, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a hit-by-pitch, three RBI, and two runs scored. Cronenworth should be in great position for even […]

San Diego Padres infielder Brandon Drury made his team debut on Wednesday, and he started out with a bang, launching a first-inning grand slam off Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Kuhl in a 9-1 victory.
