Kansas City Royals rookie middle infielder Adalberto Mondesi got a couple days off due to a sore shoulder, but he returned to the lineup on Monday and seemed completely back to normal.

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 19 September Call-Up Edition

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 […]

Neil Walker Cranks Long Home Run In Win

The New York Yankees led MLB in home runs at the All-Star break but have significantly slowed since then, ranking near the bottom of the league in the category since then. On Monday night in Chicago, however, the team connected on two runs, both coming in the eighth. The first came from Gleyber Torres, but […]

Gleyber Torres Snaps Hitless Streak In Victory

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres hasn't been in form since returning from injury, a fact that was highlighted over the weekend as he went hitless during his club’s devastating sweep in Boston. Monday night in Chicago, however, he had his best game in days, recording two hits, including a solo home run in […]

Logan Forsythe Runs Hit Streak To Four Games

On Monday, Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe continued his success since joining the team in the Brian Dozier trade at the deadline.

Dee Gordon Back in the Lineup Monday

Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Dee Gordon (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Gordon missed two straight games after leaving Thursday's contest with a right ankle injury. Gordon will lead off and play second base against lefty Martin Perez on Monday. However, Gordon is hitting .208/.240/.208 over the […]

Ketel Marte Sitting Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Marte is hitting .368/.455/.632 over the last week, so this is likely just a routine rest day for him. Daniel Descalso will play second base and bat sixth against righty Jake Arrieta. Descalso is having a […]

Miguel Rojas Sitting Out on Monday

Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. J.T. Riddle will draw the start at shortstop and seventh against righty Luke Weaver. The battle for playing time continues with Rojas and Riddle, so many fantasy owners will want to stay away from this […]

Jonathan Villar Showcases Offensive Skills Sunday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar did a little bit of everything offensively on Sunday against the Rangers, going 3-for-3 with a single, a double, a solo home run, a walk, and a stolen base.

Jose Ramirez Has Been Tearing It Up His Last Six Games

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jose Ramirez has been one of the league's home run leaders this season with 33, and he's not showing any signs of slowing down.

Joey Wendle Homers Sunday Versus Chicago

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Joey Wendle would homer Sunday versus the White Sox. He would go 3-for-3, score twice and drive in two Sunday. One of his hits was a solo HR which was his sixth of the season. He still has only hit eight career HR in 130 games and lags behind in […]

Week 19 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

The injury bug bit hard and often this week, and while the majority of the major maladies affected other positions, middle infield wasn’t spared. Popular waiver add (and featured player in this column last week) Lourdes Gurriel could miss the majority of the games left, and Ian Kinsler only made it a few games into […]

Jose Altuve Ruled Out Through Tuesday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has been rule out through at least Tuesday and is headed back to Houston to see the team doctors.

Dee Gordon Out Again Sunday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon is out of the lineup for the second day in a row on Sunday.
