DJ LeMahieu Slumping Into All-Star Break

Colorado Rockies leadoff man DJ LeMahieu has had a surprising first half of the season. Coming into the year, he was known as a light contact hitter who specialized in batting average (having won a batting title in 2016 and hitting over .300 for three straight years) and basically nothing else. Instead, he's thrown everyone […]

Daniel Murphy Out of Lineup on Wednesday

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy is out of the lineup on Wednesday for a routine day of rest. He's replaced by Wilmer Difo, who is batting seventh. Difo is not a recommended streamer at this time. As for Murphy, he had a slow start to the season but is coming off of a four-for-four […]

Ji-Man Choi Starting, Daniel Robertson Sitting Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi will make his first start at designated hitter for the Rays on Wednesday. Choi's presence in the lineup means that Daniel Robertson receives a day off, with Joey Wendle at second, C.J. Cron at first and Jake Bauers in left field. Choi does have a history of power […]

Jonathan Schoop On Fire In July

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop continued his excellent July in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Yankees. Schoop went 2-for-5 with a double, a walk-off single, and an RBI.

Wilmer Flores Stays Hot With A Double

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has had quite a few days. First, he broke the Mets franchise record for walk-off hits when he beat the Philadelphia Phillies with a home run on Monday. Since then, Flores has stayed hot with two doubles in each of his last two games. While this is apt to […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Leaves Early Tuesday

New York Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (elbow) left the game early after aggravating his hyperextended left elbow. However, it's not a serious injury and manager Mickey Callaway said Cabrera should be fine for Wednesday. Cabrera has been a fine fantasy and real-life contributor in 2018, as he came into Tuesday with a .282/.329/.489 slash line […]

Marwin Gonzalez Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez (elbow, wrist) is day-to-day with a bruised left wrist and left elbow, according to the team. Gonzalez may miss a day or two, but this doesn't sound like a serious injury. He's been filling in at shortstop mostly with Carlos Correa injured. Last year was a […]

Dustin Pedroia To Rehab In Arizona

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) will return to his home in Arizona and work with his offseason personal trainer on an adjusted rehab plan. Manager Alex Cora still believes Pedroia will play at some point this season. That might be wishful thinking by Cora. The veteran second baseman has played in a […]

Joe Panik Could Be Sidelined for Three Weeks

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said there is a chance that second baseman Joe Panik is out for three weeks. Panik suffered a groin injury while rounding the bases earlier last week. With Panik out, it is expected that Allen Hanson will get the majority of starts at second base. Hanson is hitting .276 […]

Gleyber Torres Hits Off Tee Tuesday

New York Yankees infield prospect Gleyber Torres (hip) hit off a tee and did some work in the weight room on Tuesday. Head athletic trainer Steve Donohue will travel with Torres to the All-Star game next week so he can continue his rehab. Torres has been a beast at the plate for the Yankees in […]

Tyler Saladino Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting the day off Monday. Saladino will bat fifth against Marlins' rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez. Saladino is in a favorable part of the batting order and facing a struggling rookie pitcher, but he does not have much upside in fantasy leagues […]

Brock Holt Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Brock Holt is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting two days off. He'll bat sixth and play second base against righty Yovani Gallardo. Eduardo Nunez will get the night off with Holt back in the starting lineup. Holt has been hitting for a solid average this season, but […]

Angels Promote Jahmai Jones to Double-A

The Los Angeles Angels have promoted their No. 3 prospect, Jahmai Jones, to Double-A Mobile. Jones only has a .235 batting average at High-A, but he has an excellent 12.4% walk rate and has eight home runs and 13 stolen bases in 75 games. He is also undergoing a position change, from the outfield to […]

Dilson Herrera Gets Start at Second Base

Cincinnati Reds infielder Dilson Herrera will start at second base and bat second against the Indians on Tuesday. With the Reds playing in an AL ballpark, Scooter Gennett will DH. Herrera has yet to take an at-bat in 2018, and while he holds potential, facing off against All-Star Trevor Bauer is no easy task. He […]

Clint Frazier Sitting On Tuesday Against Orioles

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier will sit against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. It's worth noting that he struck out five times in Monday's doubleheader. Aaron Hicks will take his place, while Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge round out the rest of the outfield. Giancarlo Stanton — who has been swinging a hot bat […]

Jurickson Profar Sitting, Ronald Guzman Starting Tuesday

Texas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar will receive a day off on Tuesday. His absence will allow first baseman Ronald Guzman to return to the lineup. Despite being a left-handed hitter Guzman has actually been better this season when facing left-handed pitchers. Guzman has not been terrible when facing right-handed pitchers, with a .167 ISO […]

Josh Harrison Out of Lineup on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison is sitting on Tuesday for rest. He'll be replaced by Max Moroff who is batting eighth. Moroff is not a recommended streamer and Harrison will be back in the team's lineup for their next game.

Sean Rodriguez Close to Returning

Pittsburgh Pirates utility man Sean Rodriguez is reportedly close to returning after being sidelined since June 24 with a quad injury. Rodriguez has struggled in 2018, hitting just .145 with three home runs and 13 RBI. However, he's a favorite of manager Clint Hurdle as he has appeared in 53 games. He currently holds no […]

Whit Merrifield Unlikely To Be Traded

Reports are coming in from all over that Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield is on the block but is unlikely to be moved before the trade deadline. With three more years of control, reporters from Jayson Stark to Jeffrey Flanagan are all saying that the feeling across baseball is that he's unlikely to be […]

Niko Goodrum Contributes Two Hits, Three RBI

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum did his part as the Tigers rallied back multiple times against the Rays before eventually falling in extras. The rookie middle-infielder had two doubles and three RBI on the night, raising his season average to .253 and his RBI total to 30. Goodrum has been a nice surprise after […]

Starlin Castro Has Big Game on Monday

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro put together a strong game on Monday, going 2-for-5 with a double and a home run. He's now hitting .299 on the year with seven home runs and 34 RBI. Castro has been great at second for the Marlins in 2018, however, like most veterans in Miami there's a […]

Teams Showing Interest in Marlins' Derek Dietrich

Teams have begun to show interest in trading for Miami Marlins utility man Derek Dietrich. Dietrich has positional flexibility that could appeal to a contender. In 2018 he has played both first and second base as well as the outfield. He also has experience at third. On the season he has hit .287 with 11 […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 15

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 […]

Wilmer Flores Picks Up Yet Another Walk-Off Hit

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has a knack for getting the big hit in walk-off victories, and on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies he did it again to become the franchise’s all-time leader in base knocks of that variety. Mired in a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the 10th inning, Flores drilled a […]
