Red Hot Aristides Aquino Hits Three More Home Runs

Since being called up on August 1, Reds rookie Aristides Aquino has been on fire, but after hitting three more home runs in a 10-1 victory over the Cubs on Saturdays, Aquino has transformed into liquid magma, having hit seven home runs in his first 10 games. Aquino's ownership in all Yahoo leagues is now […]

Sam Travis Hits Third Home Run in Four Games

Boston first baseman Sam Travis hit his third home run in four games on Saturday in a 12-4 losing effort against the visiting Angels. Travis doesn't usually start versus right-handers, thereby not making him viable in weekly leagues, but the 25-year-old has been a lefty masher of late and can be a useful stream in […]

Corey Dickerson Homers Again Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run at San Francisco on Saturday. The first-inning homer was the only scoring the Phillies could muster against Giants starter Jeff Samardzija. Dickerson seems comfortable with his new team as he's gotten at least one hit in all five games started with Philadelphia including […]

Joc Pederson Sits Versus Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson is sitting versus Diamondbacks left-hander Alex Young Saturday while Kristopher Negron takes his place in the lineup. The 27-year-old is batting a paltry .176 off southpaws this season, and likely won't get many starts versus these hurlers down the stretch run with Negron hitting well lately. Pederson has impressed […]

Christian Yelich Still Sidelined Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is out of the lineup once again Saturday with an ailing back that has kept him out of action since August 5. Yelich has been dealing with this issue all season long, but his results thankfully haven't suffered due to sitting out the odd game throughout the campaign. He remains […]

Teoscar Hernadez Stays White Hot

After hitting two home runs last night against the New York Yankees, Toronto outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued the barrage on Saturday, smashing a Chance Adams curveball 411-feet for his 18th home run of the year.

Jay Bruce Returns To IL After One Day Absence

Sidelined since July 17 with a left oblique strain, Philadelphia Phillie Jay Bruce returned for Thursday's game against the Giants only to promptly injure his arm making a throw in the third inning.

Jason Heyward Will Sit Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward will get a day of rest on Saturday versus the Reds. Heyward has cooled off lately and has just five hits over his last 26 at-bats. Albert Almora Jr. will replace Heyward and bat first for the Cubs Saturday. Almora is a dart throw in DFS Saturday versus Reds starter […]

Mitch Haniger Nears Rehab Assignment

Out since June 6 after being hit by his own foul tip, Mitch Haniger (ruptured testicle) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment early next week. Manager Scott Servais believes that Haniger will need 25-30 plate appearances in order to get his timing back, which means a week or more of games. With Braden […]

Andrew Benintendi Won't Play Versus Lefty

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Benintendi will get a routine day off here at the plate versus the left-handed starter. Sam Travis will cover left field and bat cleanup versus lefty Andrew Heaney. Travis is in a favorable part […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Officially Placed on IL

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The Jays announced on Friday that Gurriel would likely be sidelined due to a Grade 1 quad strain. Luckily, it's only a Grade 1, so Gurriel should only be out for a few weeks. He's having a […]

Aaron Judge is Back in the Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rest) did not start in Friday's game due to rest, but is back in the lineup for this one. Judge will bat second and play right field versus righty Jacob Waguespack on Saturday. Judge is hitting below .200 over the last two weeks, but has a favorable matchup here. […]

Randal Grichuk Homers for Second Time in Three Games

Randall Grichuk started the scoring off early for the Blue Jays on Friday night against the Yankees, hitting a two-run home run off of New York starter J.A. Happ in the bottom of the first inning. Grichuk now has 20 home runs on the year and has hit four home runs since July 29, heating […]

Teoscar Hernandez Homers Twice Again

Toronto outfielder Teoscar Hernandez cranked up the power on Friday night, hitting two home runs and driving in three as the Blue Jays beat the Yankees 8-2 at home. Hernandez hit his 16th home run in the second inning, taking starter JA Happ deep for a 447-foot solo shot, before capping off the Blue Jays […]

Ian Desmond Is 1-For-20 In Last Five Starts

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond is in the midst of quite a slide. Desmond is hitting just .050 over his last five starts, last knocking a single a week ago. He did get a tiny moment of relief on Friday when he grounded out to bring the team's only run home, but it wasn't exactly […]

Mookie Betts Homers On Friday

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in during Friday's 16-4 win over the Angels. Betts entered the stands in the fifth inning, marking his 20th homer of the season. August hasn't been so kind to the 26-year-old, as he's batting just .211 with two home runs and five […]

Trent Grisham (OF, MIL) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Trent Grisham was once ranked among baseball's top prospects, but after back-to-back-to-back seasons of mediocrity in the Brewers farm system, his stock appropriately plummeted. Put that all in the past, because it's certainly in Grisham's rear-view mirror: in 370 AB through 2019 for Double-A […]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
