Giancarlo Stanton Headed To Tampa For Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (biceps) has been placed in Tampa on a rehab assignment beginning on Monday. The slugger has not played since March 31 after straining his left biceps muscle. Last season, his first in the Bronx, Stanton clubbed 38 home runs and drove in 100 runs while playing in 158 games. […]

Charlie Blackmon Blasts Leadoff Home Run

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon got the scoring started as early as possible on Sunday as he hammered a leadoff home run to start the game against the Phillies. The Rockies would eventually fall for the fourth straight time, but Blackmon's certainly been holding up his end of the bargain this season. The jack was […]

Whit Merrifield Walks Twice Against LAA

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield was held hitless in Sunday's game, but he still walked twice and scored a run. Considering Merrifield is a leadoff hitter known for his on-base skills and tendency to steal, it would make sense that he'd walk regularly, but Merrifield hasn't been doing that much recently. In fact, […]

Jorge Soler Didn't Strike Out On Sunday

In what's likely more of a shot at the Angels pitching staff than a moment of hope for his batting eye, Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler didn't strike out a single time on Sunday. As a testament to his patience, Soler's strikeout-free day allowed Bryce Harper and Joey Gallo to surpass Soler and take […]

Mitch Haniger Unloads Home Run In Victory

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was all over the stat sheet Sunday finishing the game 1-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and a walk. He swatted a two-run homer off of Twins starter Kyle Gibson in the fifth to tie the game before Daniel Vogelbach followed that up to go back-to-back. Haniger now has a […]

Victor Robles Returns To Lineup Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles is back in the lineup after missing Saturday's game as a precautionary measure. He was hit by a pitch in Friday night's game, but after X-rays on his wrist came back negative, he's good to go against Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Robles will slide into his accustomed ninth spot in […]

Yasiel Puig Lifted After Apparent Arm Injury

The Cincinnati Reds were forced to pull outfielder Yasiel Puig early from their game on Sunday after he made an outstanding catch down the right field line. He crashed hard into the wall and was favoring his arm afterwards resulting in his removal from the game. Puig was 0-for-3 on the afternoon against Dodgers starter […]

Kyle Schwarber Leading Off In Fourth Consecutive Game

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber is batting leadoff in Sunday night's game versus Nationals right-hander Jeremy Hellickson. It's the fourth-straight game Schwarber is batting out of the leadoff spot despite hitting just 2-for-11 in the last three games. The left-handed swinger is surprisingly hitting southpaws better this year with a .273 average compared to .210 […]

George Springer Departs Early In Visible Pain

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer left Sunday's game versus the Red Sox after five innings with what appears to be a back injury. Chris Sale struck him out in all three plate appearances as he was grimacing and favoring his back throughout the game. It's not a good sign for the Astros or fantasy owners […]

Starling Marte Riding The Pine Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte is sitting on Sunday against Padres starter Cal Quantrill. It's a routine day of rest for the 30-year-old who's hitting .314 over his last seven games and .252 on the season. Marte remains a candidate to have a 20/20 season as he's sitting at four homers and seven steals so […]

Eloy Jimenez Likely To Return To Chicago Lineup Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) is not in the Triple-A Charlotte Knights lineup on Sunday, likely meaning his rehab assignment has come to an end and he will rejoin the White Sox on Monday. Jimenez has been out since April 26 after injuring his ankle in a collision with the left field wall. […]

Jon Berti Scratched on Sunday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Jon Berti (oblique) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday. Berti is suffering from a left oblique strain, so it's unclear if he'll land on the injured list. Rosell Herrera will replace him in center field and bat eighth versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Herrera is not a fantasy option, even […]

Tommy Pham Production Not Concerning

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham has been struggling over the past few weeks. He’s only hitting .231 with one home run and no stolen bases in the past two weeks but has a .362 on-base percentage. Pham owners shouldn’t panic at this point and is a potential buy-low candidate. His walk rate of 15.5 […]

Ryan Braun Gets the Day Off

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The veteran slugger will get the day off to rest, but should be back in there soon. Ben Gamel will cover left field and bat seventh versus righty Mike Foltynewicz. Gamel doesn't have much fantasy value, […]

Andrew Benintendi is Absent on Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. The team has decided to give Benintendi the day off versus the left-handed starter. J.D. Martinez will slide over to left field and bat cleanup, while Eduardo Nunez bats eighth and serves as the designated […]

Willie Calhoun is Resting on Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Since his promotion, Calhoun had started four straight games. It appears the Rangers want to give Calhoun a day off to rest. Shin-Soo Choo will leadoff and play left field, while Hunter Pence serves as […]

Austin Meadows Hits Game-Winning Homer

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows hit a solo home run in the 11th inning Saturday night to lift the Rays over the Yankees in a 2-1 victory. Since his return from his thumb injury, Meadows is hitting .333 with three homers and a steal. It’s safe to say that he’s back and healthy and […]

Trey Mancini Hits 10th Home Run Of Season

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder provided the team's only run in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Indians, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run. Mancini took Adam Plutko deep for his 10th long ball of the season. Mancini has been the O's best offensive producer and fantasy option and now has a .310/.357/.571 slash line with […]

David Dahl Is Poised For A Crash

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl is currently hitting .296 after he went 1-for-4 on Saturday against Philly. He's living on borrowed time though. Dahl is sporting a strikeout rate of more than 33%, and he's being buoyed by a ridiculous .437 BABIP. He's hitting the ball softer than he ever has in the majors, he's […]

Raimel Tapia Keeps Hitting

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia was the only member of the team to record more than one hit on Saturday against the Phillies. Tapia wasn't able to turn either single into a run scored as the Rockies lost, but he pulled his batting average up to .302 on the season and hit safely for the […]

Yasiel Puig Drives In Two

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig went 2-for-4 with two RBI in a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Puig ripped a two-run single off of Los Angeles starter Walker Buehler in the third inning. The veteran outfielder is now hitting .210 with seven homers, 17 runs, 25 RBI, and seven steals. He […]
