Anthony Alford Drives In Four For Triple-A Buffalo

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Anthony Alford went 2-for-4 with a home run and four runs batted in for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday. Alford went 0-for-3 in an extremely brief MLB stint from April 2-4 (bringing his career line to 3-for-30) but has been at Triple-A the rest of the year. Despite the home run, […]

Franchy Cordero Injures Leg In Rehab Game

San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero (leg, elbow) exited Wednesday’s rehab game in Triple-A with a leg injury. Cordero was amidst his 11th game recovering from an elbow ailment and was slated to return to the big leagues relatively soon.

Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sano Out Thursday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario is getting his second game off in the last five on Thursday. Utility man Marwin Gonzalez will instead take both the cleanup spot and left field position. Third baseman Miguel Sano is also out, replaced by Ehire Adrianza who bats seventh. Perhaps most notably among players in the lineup, first […]

Bryan Reynolds Returns to Lineup Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who did not start but came off the bench in each of the past two games, returns to his second spot in the batting order on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. None of the four starting pitchers across the tiny two-game early slate should scare many DFS players, so the […]

Andrew Benintendi Delivers Three Extra-Base Hits

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi finished 3-for-4 with two runs batted in, and a run scored during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. All three hits were of the extra-base type, including two doubles, and a triple. Benintendi tripled in Boston's first run in the third inning, before doubling in another in the fifth. […]

Austin Riley Gets Breather Thursday

Atlanta Braves left fielder Austin Riley is not in Thursday's lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Matt Joyce will play left field instead and bat eighth, bumping second baseman Ozzie Albies and catcher Brian McCann up a spot in the order. After struggling in 2018, Joyce is on small-sample fire this year, hitting .295/.394/.508 in 71 […]

Starling Marte Homers In Loss

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte went 2-for-6 with a solo home run in am 11-inning loss to the Braves on Wednesday.

Austin Riley Hits 10th Home Run Of The Season

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley was 3-for-5 with a solo home run, three runs scored, and three RBI during Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

If you've been following baseball news at all, you probably know that free agents Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel have finally signed with teams (the Braves and Cubs, respectively).

Curtis Granderson Picks Up Three RBI On Wednesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Curtis Granderson went 1-for-4 with a walk during Wednesday's win over the Cardinals, drilling a three-run shot off of St. Louis reliever John Brebbia in the seventh inning.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run, a walk, and a strikeout in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl was the only member of the offense to have a good day against the Cubbies on Wednesday when he smacked three hits while his teammates scuffled.

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Myers is having a rough year at the plate and will take a seat here.

Kyle Schwarber Stays Hot

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber continued his hot streak with a three-run home run on Wednesday. The slugger finished 1-for-4 with four RBI.

Jason Heyward Knocks In A Pair Of Runs

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 2-for-4 with a walk, run scored and two RBI. Heyward started the season, but cooled off and is now heating up again. The outfielder is now ten for his last 29, but only has one home run and five RBI over that span. Heyward doesn’t warrant much attention outside […]

Jarrod Dyson is Out on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The speedy outfielder will get a routine day off here. Ketel Marte will bat leadoff and cover center field versus righty Zach Eflin. Marte is a strong DFS option and will likely be popular in many […]

Bryce Harper Gets Day Off on Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This will be the first off day of the season for Harper, but with the Phillies off on Thursday, Harper gets two days to rest. Nick Williams will draw the start in right field and bat […]

Lewis Brinson Showing Signs Of Life In Triple-A

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson is giving team management a reason to take notice. Since he was sent down, the 25-year-old former top-20 prospect has hit .277/.369/.454 with five home runs, 19 runs, 26 RBI and six stolen bases across 36 games with Triple-A New Orleans. This is a welcome sight after Brinson managed to […]

Hunter Renfroe A "Popular" Trade Candidate

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is garnering trade interest, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. While speculation is nothing unordinary for the 27-year-old slugger, Renfroe’s value has arguably never been higher. Previously projected as a platoon player against left-handed pitching with subpar defense, Renfroe has emerged this season with 18 homers and an .879 […]

Willie Calhoun to Begin Rehab Assignment Thursday

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. Calhoun has been out with a left quad strain since May 22. After struggling last season, Calhoun was red-hot to start his 2019 campaign, hitting .435/.458/.739 in 24 plate appearances after his May 15 call-up. Calhoun should have been stashed […]

Kris Bryant Gets A Breather

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant will sit Wednesday versus the Colorado Rockies. It’s just a routine day off for the slugger and David Bote will replace him. Bote will bat second versus Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela. Bote is an intriguing option for DFS on Wednesday. Bryant should be back in the lineup on Thursday […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Back in Lineup Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. returns to the team's lineup on Wednesday after a day off Tuesday. Bradley will bat eighth, his usual spot this season, as Marco Hernandez returns to the bench and the Red Sox return to their current standard lineup.
