Mike Trout Is Absolutely On Fire

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-3 in the team's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday. It was a quiet kind for an otherwise white-hot hitter, who now has 14 hits over his last 27 at-bats (.519) spanning seven games. He has four home runs and 12 runs batted in during that span […]

Justin Upton Hits Third Home Run In Loss

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton popped his third home run of the season but it wasn't enough in the Angels 4-2 loss to the Cardinals. Upton has made an instant impact since being activated from the 60-day injured list, going 6-for-22 (.273) with one double, three home runs and four runs batted in through […]

Domingo Santana Homers, Scores Thrice In Loss

Seattle Mariners outfielder Domingo Santana was the primary source of offense in the team's 8-4 loss to the Orioles Saturday. He finished the afternoon going 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored while also collecting his 17th home run of the season. Santana now has four dingers and nine RBI in his last four […]

Victor Robles Departs Game Early Saturday With Dehydration

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles left Saturday's game in the top of the second after experiencing symptoms of dehydration. Robles dropped to a knee, and after a visit from the training staff, he walked off the field under his own power. Robles is riding a six-game hit streak and has homered in two of his […]

Marcell Ozuna Goes Yard Again on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna stayed hot on Saturday, hitting his 20th home run of the season. He ended up going 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and two RBI. Ozuna has been a frustratingly streaky hitter throughout his career, but he's been able to put together huge hot streaks in the past. […]

Ketel Marte Out With Groin Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/second baseman Ketel Marte is resting in Saturday's matchup versus Tyler Beede and the San Francisco Giants. Marte was pulled in Friday's contest after experiencing a groin cramp, but the team stated it was a precautionary move and are likely playing it safe with his absence Saturday. The 25-year-old is having a breakout […]

Trey Mancini Returns To Lineup Saturday

After missing two straight games, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini (elbow) is back in the lineup Saturday, hitting second and playing first base. Mancini had missed the two previous games due to a left elbow contusion. Mancini is on a career-best pace this year, slashing .304/.361/.558 with 16 home runs, 35 RBI and 50 runs […]

George Springer Pops Two Home Runs In Rehab Stint

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer went 2-for-4 on Friday, crushing two home runs for Double-A Corpus Christi. The plan is for Springer (hamstring) to start and play the outfield on Saturday and then DH on Sunday. If there isn't a setback, Springer is expected to be activated and would be eligible to play Tuesday after […]

Bryce Harper Looking To Break Slump

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper has, thus far, not lived up to the lofty expectations placed on him coming into this season. Harper is hitting .242/.355/.448 on the year, adding 12 home runs, 50 RBI, 41 runs scored, and four steals. He holds a 28.7% strikeout rate (8th highest among qualified hitters) and a subpar […]

Aaron Hicks Back In Starting Lineup Saturday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (shoulder) will return to the lineup on Saturday, hitting sixth and playing centerfield. Hicks was out of the starting lineup the past two games for the Yankees with shoulder inflammation. However, he did enter Friday's contest in the fourth inning as a substitution for Cameron Maybin, who strained his […]

Michael Brantley Hitting .360 Over Last Six Games

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is 9-for-25 (.360) over his last six games with two doubles and one home run heading into Saturday. Brantley is having his least productive month of the season but fantasy owners will be hard-pressed to find a more consistent offensive player this season than the 32-year-old. Brantley is hitting .355 […]

Leonys Martin Designated For Assignment

Cleveland Indians outfielder Leonys Martin was designated for assignment on Saturday and will now either be traded or cut by the team in the next week. The move isn't much of a surprise as the 31-year-old has slashed just .199/.276/.343 on the year. Pitcher Aaron Civale was called up to replace Martin on the roster […]

Charlie Blackmon Continues To Destroy Baseballs

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is on a tear unlike many ever seen before. Over the last 12 days, Blackmon is hitting .500 over the course of 56 at-bats, and his OPS of 1.554 is just ridiculous. He's got an 11-game hitting streak that includes eight home runs, 17 RBI, 16 runs scored, and six […]

Smith recorded a double, four runs, two steals, and an RBI boosting his batting average to .230 on the year with 21 thefts. The speedster has hit much better of […]

So we're two and a half months into the season, and a lot of pictures are becoming more clear. Some players have been lost to injury time, plenty are underperforming, and there are of course new faces rising. No matter the situation, it could be time for a roster refresh--but not just the hum-drum obvious […]

Garrett Cooper (1B/OF, MIA) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Garrett Cooper has a straight-up weird lineup of peripherals, but fortunately, it has culminated in an absolutely fantastic offensive showing by the 28-year old Auburn alumni. This year, the emergent outfielder and first baseman has hit for six home runs and a well-rounded slash of […]

Marcell Ozuna Has a Huge Game on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna had a big game on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.

Adam Eaton is Absent on Friday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This is normal for Eaton to get the day off against the left-handed starter. Michael A. Taylor will cover center field and bat seventh versus lefty Dallas Keuchel. Taylor does not have enough fantasy value to […]

Aaron Judge Activated, Starting Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Judge sat out roughly two months due to a strained left oblique. Judge will bat leadoff and play right field versus righty Brad Peacock on Friday. Judge was hitting fairly well before the injury, so hopefully he can […]

Aaron Hicks is Dealing with Shoulder Injury

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Houston Astros. Hicks revealed that he's been playing through shoulder soreness over the last week or so. He'll miss his second straight game on Friday, but he did receive a cortisone shot. There is a good chance […]

Ryan Braun is Absent on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. Ben Gamel will bat leadoff and play left field versus righty Sonny Gray. Gamel is not dangerous with the bat and can be avoided […]

Dexter Fowler is Sitting on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This is the second game in a row that Fowler has sat out. Jose Martinez will play left field and bat fifth versus righty Griffin Canning. Martinez has been hot with the bat lately, […]
