Asdrubal Cabrera Collects Three Hits

Texas Rangers third baseman Asdrubal Cabrera went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored against the A's Thursday night. It was a rare big night for the veteran infielder who has struggled in his first year in Texas. His batting average sits at .234 and he's slugging under .400. Fantasy owners had hoped the […]

Michael Chavis Doubles Twice Off The Bench

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis doubled twice and drove in two runs in Thursday's win. Chavis didn't start the game due to a lingering back issue, but Brock Holt was ejected for arguing balls and strikes so Chavis entered the game in the fourth inning.

Travis Shaw Recalled by Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw has been recalled from the minors, according to Robert Murray. Shaw hit very well in Triple-A, so the Brewers figured it was time to give him another chance at the major league level.
