Jackie Bradley Jr. Homers In Second Consecutive Game

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. finished 2-for-4 on Tuesday, including an eighth-inning, solo home run, his second in as many days. His first four-bagger didn't come until May 20, but in just the following day he has two on the year. There is definitely some power potential in Bradley's bat, after hitting 13, […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 8 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 20th (unless otherwise noted). It's that time of year when in-season trends become apparent and full-season numbers may not tell the best story. (They may be most accurate, but they may not tell the best story.) Fortunately, the […]

Steve Wilkerson Lines Three-Run Home Run Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/outfielder Steve Wilkerson provided most of his team's runs with one swing in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Yankees, going 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts. Wilkerson lined a fifth-inning Domingo German fastball over the right-field wall for his fifth HR of the season. Wilkerson has been productive at […]

David Peralta Day-To-Day With Shoulder Soreness

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) was removed from the game early on Tuesday with right shoulder soreness. He is listed as day-to-day. Peralta struck out in both his plate appearances but is still hitting a nice .309/.357/.524 with seven home runs and 30 RBI on the season. This injury could […]

David Peralta Leaves Game With Apparent Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta departed Tuesday night's game against the Padres with an apparent injury. He was struggling with a trapezius muscle issue last week, but there is no word yet if this was the issue again. He was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts when he was replaced in the field in the bottom of […]

Brandon Nimmo To Undergo MRI

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck), who was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday, will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday. He said he hasn't recovered from the neck injury that cost him two games in April, and it has bothered him ever since. Nimmo hasn't really been good all year and is hitting […]

Kris Bryant Continues To Get On Base

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant went 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored Tuesday. Bryant continues to get on base and looks to be fully healthy after a rough 2018 campaign. The former MVP is now hitting .275 with 11 home runs and 32 RBI.

J.D. Davis Comes Up Big In Pinch-Hit Moment

Stepping up to the plate as a pinch-hitter for Zack Wheeler in the seventh inning, J.D. Davis had a huge moment. The 26-year-old drilled a three-run home run that put his club up a run. Davis is currently on pace for the best season of his young career, batting .283 through 39 games. This was […]

Willie Calhoun Leaves Early With Quad Tightness

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun (quadriceps) left the game early on Tuesday after six innings with tightness in his left quadriceps. He'll be re-evaluated on Wednesday. Calhoun was 0-for-2 before leaving on Tuesday and is 10-for-23 (.435) and has reached base six times in 12 plate appearances since being called up last week. Danny Santana […]

Giancarlo Stanton Scratched From Rehab Game Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf, knee) was scratched from the lineup for High-A Tampa on Tuesday with tightness in his calf/knee, according to manager Aaron Boone. However, Boone said that Stanton might be able to play on Wednesday, so it doesn't seem to be a serious setback after the slugger was hit by […]

Clint Frazier Breaks Out With Two Home Runs

Entering Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier had been struggling. While he was batting .324 with six home runs and 17 RBI through his first 18 games of the season, an ankle injury sidelined him. Since he returned from injury, he was batting a measly .105 entering Tuesday, but […]

Khris Davis Will Go On Injured List

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that outfielder Khris Davis (hip) will go on the injured list with a hip contusion. Davis has been in and out of the lineup ever since his hip injury on May 5, although he's hit .346 (9-for-26) with two homers and three RBI since then. While it's bad news […]

Ender Inciarte Yet To Begin Baseball Activities

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte hasn't begun any baseball activities yet as he sits on the IL with a lumbar strain. The 28-year-old is expected to be out of the Braves lineup for about another month, and he may be relegated to a bench role upon arrival. With Austin Riley crushing it at the big […]

Wil Myers On The Bench Tuesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is taking a seat Tuesday as the team squares off against Zack Greinke and the Diamondbacks. To say Myers is having a disappointing season would be an understatement as he's slashing .228/.296/.414 with seven homers in 46 games for the Friars. He's struck out at an alarming 37.7% of […]

Gregory Polanco Scratched With Finger Discomfort

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (finger) was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday with "finger discomfort" that he suffered after jamming a finger in his left hand on Sunday. Make sure to remove Polanco from your daily lineups on Tuesday and consider him day-to-day moving forward. The left-handed hitter got a […]

Rehab Updates On Lonnie Chisenhall, Corey Dickerson

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf, finger) is away from his minor league rehab assignment for non-injury reasons, according to manager Clint Hurdle. Outfielder Corey Dickerson (shoulder) is scheduled to throw to the bases on Tuesday. Chisenhall hasn't played since May 15, so it's obviously a concern as he tries to work his way back […]

Khris Davis Leaves Early Again Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis (hip) left the game early on Tuesday with what the A's are calling lingering effects from his hip contusion. The 31-year-old just can't seem to shake his hip injury, so there's an increasing likelihood that he'll need to go on the injured list. Davis grounded out meagerly in his only […]

J.D. Martinez Out Sick Tuesday

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (illness) is out of the lineup on Tuesday because he's sick. It helps explain why he hasn't played in the last two games, so his fantasy owners can relax a little bit. The 31-year-old continues to mash this year, hitting .308/.390/.521 with nine home runs, […]

Jon Berti Lands On Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed infielder/outfielder Jon Berti (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left oblique strain and called up outfielder Austin Dean from Triple-A New Orleans in a corresponding move. Berti was shaken up after crashing into the outfield wall trying to make a catch on Sunday. The earliest he can […]

Gregory Polanco is Out on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Polanco was in the lineup, but he was scratched for an unknown reason. Melky Cabrera will play right field and bat fifth versus righty German Marquez. Cabrera doesn't have much upside for DFS contests. Hopefully there […]

Odubel Herrera Not Starting Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Infielder Scott Kingery will get the nod in center field and hit seventh against Cubs starting pitcher Jose Quintana. It's partly because there is a lefty on the mound, but Herrera is also hitting just .225 (25-for-111) with a homer, 15 RBI […]

Scott Kingery is in Center Field on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Kingery recently returned to the active roster after suffering a hamstring injury. Jean Segura has been crushing the ball at shortstop, so the Phillies will need to find different places for Kingery to play. He'll bat seventh […]

George Springer Won't Play Tuesday

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that outfielder George Springer (back) will not play on Tuesday. "We feel like the weekend is very probable," Hinch said. Springer has missed the last two games due to lower back stiffness, but it appears he won't need to go on the injured list. That's great news for his […]

Brandon Nimmo is Scratched on Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Nimmo is dealing with a stiff neck, so this seems like just a day-to-day type of issue. Juan Lagares will play center field and bat eighth versus righty Erick Fedde. Lagares has little fantasy appeal and can be avoided […]

Christian Yelich is Scratched on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) has been scratched from Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Yelich missed a week earlier in the season due to back discomfort. Hopefully this isn't something that lingers with Yelich throughout the season. Ben Gamel will take over in right field and bat seventh versus righty Sonny Gray. Gamel […]

Mark Trumbo Getting Close To Rehab Assignment

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) will play in the field "soon" in extended spring training games, and he is getting close to a rehab assignment. The 33-year-old has yet to play in 2019, but he can offer decent power numbers in a hitter-friendly environment in deeper leagues when he's […]

Derek Dietrich (1B/2B/OF, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Life outside Miami sure has been nice so far for the left-handed Derek Dietrich. He’s hitting home runs at a rate unlike any we’ve seen before from him, 11 HR in 96 at-bats, compared with 16 HR in 499 AB last year, his most […]
