Ozzie Albies Collects Three Hits Thursday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies cracked three hits Thursday versus the Phillies. He went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored. With 29 doubles in 2021, the sweet-swinging shortstop should easily pass his career-best of 43 back in 2019. Albies currently has a .263 batting average, 15 dingers, 63 RBI, and 13 stolen […]

Jurickson Profar Drives In Two

San Diego Padres utility man Jurickson Profar made the most of his start Thursday night, going 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in a 3-2 win over the Miami Marlins. Profar doesn't play enough to be an everyday fantasy option, but he's certainly capitalized on opportunity over the last week, slashing .357/.471/.643 with a […]

Kike Hernandez Drives In Three Thursday

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez played the hero Thursday night, going 1-for-4 with a double and a sacrifice fly, driving in three runs. Two of those RBI came on his double in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game against the New York Yankees en route to a 5-4 win […]

Jon Berti Diagnosed With Concussion

Miami Marlins utility player Jon Berti (concussion) was forced to leave Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres after being hit by a pitch in the back of the head. Berti was officially diagnosed with a laceration on the back of his head and a concussion. He required three stitches and will almost certainly be placed […]

Andy Ibanez Collects Three Hits

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez put together one of his better performances on Thursday. He went 3-for-4 with one RBI, and a triple during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Ibanez has not looked sharp at the plate lately, but hopefully this is a sign he's turning it around. Sadly, Ibanez doesn't get enough […]

Sergio Alcantara Optioned, Trevor Megill Recalled

Chicago Cubs infielder Sergio Alcantara has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa ahead of Thursday's contest against the St. Louis Cardinals. The young infielder has struggled during his time at the big league level. Right-hander Trevor Megill will be recalled in a corresponding move. The Cubs bullpen has been used frequently lately and needs another fresh […]

Jazz Chisholm Plans To Be Back On Next Homestand

Miami Marlins infielder Jazz Chisholm (shoulder) expects to appear in a few minor league rehab games before returning on the team's next homestand, which begins on Friday, July 30, against the New York Yankees. Chisholm went on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder bone bruise, but the good news is he doesn't have […]

Nick Solak Continues To Struggle At The Plate

Texas Rangers second baseman/outfielder Nick Solak had a strong first month of the year, but has really struggled at the plate ever since then. July has been particularly rough for him so far. Over 13 games this month, Solak is slashing .167/.205/.214 with just two extra-base hits, both doubles. He has just one home run […]

Jorge Polanco Homers, Steals Base In Wednesday's Victory

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco went 3-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored, three RBI, and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the White Sox. Polanco went yard for the second straight game, sending a ball 389 feet into the seats at 104.6 MPH. The 28-year-old has put his slow start […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets for Week 17

Sometimes fantasy baseball can resemble the stock market. You want the best portfolio of players without having to pay too much for them. Sometimes to achieve the optimal team, you need to make trades. The best way to gain added value is to trade away an over-performing player for one in a rut. This way, […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects for Week 17

It’s hard to believe but the second half of the season is officially here. With the diminished schedule ahead, the Top 50 list has transitioned to ranking the Top 25 redraft prospects for the remainder of 2021. Last week’s list lost some key names as a number of clubs called up top prospects for a […]

Rougned Odor Belts 11th Homer

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor swatted his 11th homer of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Phillies. Odor's round-tripper registered an exit velocity of 103.1 MPH, traveling 363 feet. The former Ranger has now collected a hit in each of his last three contests, two of them homers, raising his July OPS […]

Wilmer Flores Plays Hero With Homer Wednesday

San Francisco Giants second/third baseman made his one hit count in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers, going 1-for-4 with a two-run, go-ahead home run. Down 2-1 in the ninth inning, Flores clobbered a Kenley Jansen fastball into the left-field seats to put the Giants up 3-2. The 29-year-old has done a serviceable job at […]

Daily MLB DFS Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings for 7/22/21 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. After a glorious day of day baseball, we only have an eight-game slate tonight. Finding value will certainly be crucial tonight since there are few aces on the slate which will mean that you'll see countless different lineup builds. Walker Buehler is the only pitcher […]

Whit Merrifield Tallies Two Hits And A Stolen Base

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield helped lead the team to a 6-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. He went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles, a stolen base and a run scored in the game. Merrifield leads the majors with 25 stolen bases. Over 94 games on the year, he's slashing […]

Jean Segura Smacks Leadoff Homer Versus Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday. Segura jumped on a first-pitch fastball from Asher Wojciechowski to give the visitors a quick lead. He wouldn't record another hit in the game, but Segura has been solid in the leadoff role for […]

Ernie Clement Drives In Three Wednesday

Cleveland Indians infielder Ernie Clement went 2-for-3 with a bases-clearing three-run double in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Houston Astros. Clement was filling in for Jose Ramirez (elbow) and performed admirably in this one as his three-run double was the difference in the game. He has just 48 at-bats on the season and is not […]

Cesar Hernandez Homers Wednesday Night

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, and two RBI in Wednesday night's 5-4 win over the Houston Astros. The home run was Hernandez's 16th on the season and he set a new career-high with the blast. He has provided more power than expected this season and should […]

Vidal Brujan Optioned To Triple-A

The Tampa Bay Rays optioned second baseman Vidal Brujan to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday. Brujan, one of the team's top prospects, received his first major league call-up on July 7. He was seeing inconsistent playing time and was struggling at the plate. He appeared in nine games and went just 2-for-21 with a stolen base. […]

Jeff McNeil Leaves Wednesday's Game Due To Fatigue

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds in the eighth inning. After the game, Mets manager Luis Rojas told reporters that McNeil wasn't hurt, but was instead just dealing with fatigue. The removal came after McNeil attempted to run out a ground ball and there was […]

Chris Taylor Remains Hot With Another Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor continued his career year with a 2-for-4 performance in Wednesday's loss versus the San Francisco Giants. Taylor lead off the game with a solo home run and picked up a stolen base. The first time All-Star has been more than just a versatile option for managers this year and […]

Michael Chavis Goes Deep Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Michael Chavis hit a home run Wednesday off of Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray. It was his second of the season. Chavis went 1-for-4 out of the ninth spot of the lineup. Though he's hardly had a strong season, with just a .574 OPS in 65 at-bats, Chavis […]
