Jose Altuve Returns to Astros Wednesday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is batting third in his return to the team's lineup on Wednesday. Altuve has been out since May 12 with a left hamstring strain.

Whit Merrifield Smashes Two Homers

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield recorded the second multi-home run game of his career on Tuesday against the Mariners when he went yard in the fourth and eighth innings of KC's rout.

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 12 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, June 17 (unless otherwise noted).

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 12

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 […]

Jedd Gyorko Suffers Setback

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko (back, calf) will remain on the injured list after he felt his left calf tighten up while running the bases on Monday.

Jose Ramirez Hits a Home Run on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez hit his fifth home run of the season on Tuesday, going 1-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored.

Jason Kipnis Drives in Three on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians second baseman (playing as the designated hitter) Jason Kipnis had another solid game on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with two singles, a walk, a run scored, and three RBI. He's hitting just .219/.274/.318, but he looks like he's starting a hot streak and could be a solid source of several categories if he can […]

Jeff McNeil Ignites Mets Offense In Win

Batting leadoff right ahead of rookie phenom Peter Alonso, New York Mets utility player Jeff McNeil recorded three hits as one of the club's leaders in a blowout victory Tuesday night. Starting in left field, the 27-year-old reached base in the third, later coming around to score the game's first run. He would score another […]

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) started his minor league rehab assignment on Monday.

Cincinnati may ease him back in right […]

Cavan Biggio Blasts Two More Homers On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio was 2-for-2 with two home runs, three RBI, and two walks during a 10-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday.

The 28-year-old has been in a deep slump, hitting just .226 with 50 strikeouts and eight stolen bases since May.
