Jason Kipnis Goes Yard Two Times on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis hit two home runs on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. It could have been a much bigger game, but Kipnis hit his jacks with the bases empty both times. Still, his owners are happy with two home runs. Kipnis has been hot lately, but […]

Max Muncy Injured Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (wrist) left the game early on Wednesday after taking a 94 mph fastball off his right wrist. Muncy struck out twice in three appearances before he hit the showers. Losing Muncy for an extended period of time would be a huge loss for both the Dodgers and fantasy owners, […]

Tommy La Stella To Take BP Friday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella (leg) said that he will take batting practice on the field on Friday.

Giovanny Urshela Leaves Game Early

New York Yankees infielder Giovanny Urshela (groin) left the game early on Wednesday with left groin tightness. Urshela had a single and a strikeout in his two plate appearances before his early exit.

Kolten Wong Returns Against Brewers

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (toe) is back in the starting lineup and is at second base and hitting second against Brewers starter Jordan Lyles.

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 22 - Buy or Sell?

Today's magic numbers: 5/14. Each riser has exactly five home runs in the past two weeks (August 13-26). The names are a little more interesting on the whole than the ones with six or seven (and have been less explored around here). As for falling power outputs, four of today's five have been risers in […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 22

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the injured 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 […]

Addison Russell Hits Home Run

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday versus the Mets. Russell had been 2-for-14 since being recalled recently, but enjoyed facing the Mets Tuesday.

Miami Marlins infielder Starlin Castro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The veteran infielder will get a rare off day here to rest.

Scooter Gennett Released by Giants

San Francisco Giants second baseman Scooter Gennett has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Gennett is hitting .226/.245/.323 this season and hasn't shown much promise with the bat. He was sidelined by injuries to begin the season and then just never seemed right once he came back. Mauricio Dubon has been recalled and is […]

Niko Goodrum Out 10-14 Days

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) was diagnosed with an adductor strain after visiting with core muscle specialist Dr. William Meyers, and he's expected to be out 10 to 14 days, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. That pretty much guarantees that Goodrum will no longer be of use in single-year fantasy formats the rest of […]

The Toronto Blue Jays expect infielder Lourdes Gurriel (quadriceps) to play in rehab games by early next week. The talented 25-year-old has been out since Aug. 10 and should be able to return early next month.

Giants Calling Up Mauricio Dubon

The San Francisco Giants are calling up infield prospect Mauricio Dubon from the minors on Tuesday, according to sources. San Fran's No. 8 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, came over from the Brewers in the trade that involved pitcher Drew Pomeranz in July. The 25-year-old from Honduras has hit an impressive .302/.345/.477 with 20 home runs, […]

Mets Hoping To Have Robinson Cano Back This Year
