Javier Baez And Joe Maddon Ejected On Saturday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez and manager Joe Maddon were ejected on Saturday after arguing a check-swing call.

Ben Zobrist took over for Baez […]

The Seattle Mariners are reportedly showing interest in New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera. Cabrera has hit .282 with 17 home runs, 53 RBI and 46 runs scored over 93 games in 2018.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop continued to swing a hot bat in July on Friday against the Blue Jays, going 1-for-5 with a solo home run.

Lourdes Gurriel Expected to be Back on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Lourdes Gurriel (concussion) is expected to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles.

Los Angeles super utility man Kike Hernandez played a big part in Friday's 6-4 win over the Brewers, going 1-for-3 with a three-run home run.

Prospects Stat Scouting - Deep-League Hitters to Target at the Deadline

Imagine this scenario: you are an owner who plays in a dynasty league, but all the known prospects have been already taken.  No Francisco Mejia, no Brendan Rodgers, and no Bo Bichette.  Your team sits in the rebuild section of the standings and now is an excellent time to start flipping those assets for the […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 17

We've been wheeling and dealing all season (at least hypothetically), but now's the time when the real moves are made. One of the biggest risk-reward propositions a fantasy owner can undertake is to buy or sell a player based purely on speculation of a real-life trade. We know many of the higher profile names who […]

DJ LeMahieu Leaves Game With Back Injury

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu was forced from the team's game on Friday after re-injuring his back. He was forced to miss last Saturday's game with a similar injury so perhaps this has been nagging for a while. There's no word on how severe the injury is at the moment or if a stint […]

Scott Kingery Continues Torrid Stretch

Not even the All-Star break could slow down Philadelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery. The 24-year-old, who entered the break hitting .357 over his previous seven games, picked up two more hits Friday night, scoring a run and driving in a run. Kingery hit just .220 through the first two months of the season but has […]

Charlie Culberson Hits Homer To Help Braves Win

Atlanta Braves utility player Charlie Culberson was pressed into service on Friday night after Ozzie Albies left the game with hamstring tightness. Culberson went deep for his fifth homer of the season - and while that might not seem impressive (fantasy fans aren't paying attention, with like 2% owning him), he'd have a LOT more […]

Ozzie Albies Left Game With Hamstring Tightness

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) was pulled from the team's game on Friday due to hamstring tightness.

Joe Panik Able To Take Grounders And Hit On Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (groin) took batting practice on the field and was able to take grounders on Friday.

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) remained out of the team's lineup on Friday.

There's no word on when he might return, although not playing after a long period off […]

Matt Carpenter Has a Game for the Ages on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter had an unbelievable game on Friday, going 5-for-5 with three home runs, two doubles, seven RBI, and four runs scored. He became only the second player in baseball history to hit three homers and two doubles in a game. After a laughably bad start to the season, Carpenter has […]

Sean Rodriguez Activated Off DL, Starting Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Sean Rodriguez (quadriceps) has been activated off the 10-day disabled list and has been plugged into the starting lineup on Friday. Rodriguez will bat seventh and play second base against righty Tyler Mahle. Josh Harrison (hamstring) is not starting in this game, but could be back this weekend. Rodriguez is not worth […]

Jose Pirela Sitting Out on Friday

San Diego Padres infielder/outfielder Jose Pirela (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Carlos Asuaje will bat second and play second base against righty Jake Arrieta. Asuaje is not worth owning in fantasy leagues, but is hitting .275/.350/.392 off right-handed pitching this season. He could be worth a […]

Gleyber Torres To Start Rehab Assignment Saturday

New York Yankees infield prospect Gleyber Torres (hip) will begin his rehab assignment on Saturday, according to manager Aaron Boone. The team is expecting Torres to return for the last game of their series with the Rays next Wednesday.
