Gregory Polanco Getting A Breather

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco is taking the day off on Friday. Melky Cabrera is in right field and batting third, while Bryan Reynolds gets the start in left field and is hitting fifth against Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright. Neither Cabrera nor Reynolds have been racking up the counting stats, but both players have […]

Christin Stewart Back In Lineup, Niko Goodrum Leading Off

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart (quadriceps) is back in the starting lineup on Friday, playing left field and hitting second against Twins starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi. Niko Goodrum is hitting leadoff, while slumping third baseman Jeimer Candelario is dropped to the No. 6 spot. Stewart is hitting just .218 this year in his 55 at-bats […]

George Springer Is On Fire Right Now

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer homered again, his 13th of the season, in the Astros 4-2 win over the Rangers on Thursday. Springer now has one double and four home runs over his last six games and leads the team with 33 runs batted in. Over his last nine games, Springer is 14-for-34 (.411) with […]

Yolmer Sanchez Gets A Day Off Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yolmer Sanchez is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Leury Garcia will play second base and hit leadoff against Blue Jays starting pitcher Daniel Hudson as the opener. Garcia missed two games this week with an injury but is back in the fold and is hitting a fine .295/.341/.380 […]

Brian Goodwin's Value Beginning To Crest

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin added a pinch-hit RBI single in the Angels 13-0 win over the Tigers on Thursday. Goodwin has been a surprisingly strong contributor during the early portion of this season, slashing .314/.392/.505 with 11 extra-base hits through his first 105 at-bats. But there are several factors that point to a […]

J.D. Martinez's Power Is Lacking

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez is slashing a healthy .309/.384/.475 this year, but he hasn't been quite as good of a hitter as in years past. Only Jose Ramirez and Matt Carpenter have declined more than Martinez in OPS compared to 2018. Martinez is down .173 points from his 1.031 OPS last season, which […]

Kyle Schwarber Out Against Southpaw

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber is not in the starting lineup against Brewers left-handed starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez on Friday. Kris Bryant is in left field and batting second, David Bote is at third and batting sixth and Addison Russell is at the keystone and hitting eighth. As always, Bryant is a solid DFS option, […]

Mike Zunino On Injured List, Austin Meadows Returns

The Tampa Bay Rays placed catcher Mike Zunino (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with left quadriceps tightness and called up catcher Anthony Bemboom from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Zunino is expected to miss around three weeks. Bemboom, 29, doesn't do much with the bat and will split time with Nick […]

David Peralta Smacks Game-Tying Home Run Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta went 2-for-5 with a game-tying solo home run on Thursday in an eventual 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. Peralta crushed a hanger from Braves closer Luke Jackson into the right field seats with two outs to keep the game alive. The outfielder is hitting .316 on the season and […]

Leury Garcia Goes Hitless in Return

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia went 0-for-2 during the 5-0 loss to the Indians on Thursday. After going for three hits and a run during Monday’s win in the first game of this series, the 28-year-old missed the previous two outings while dealing with a sore thumb. He will look to get back on […]

Albert Almora Jr. Brings In A Run Against Miami

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. went 1-for-4 with a hit during Thursday’s win over the Marlins. The 25-year-old has been semi-productive at the plate as of late, accruing three RBI over the past five games, including going for a pair of doubles against the Cardinals last Sunday. He will likely bat leadoff on Friday […]

Brian Anderson Unproductive Against Chicago

Miami Marlins outfielder Brian Anderson went hitless with a walk in the 4-1 loss to the Cubs on Thursday. Despite reaching base safely in his previous four outings, the 25-year-old has still struggled, striking out in 11 of his 29 plate appearances on the month. He will look to get back on track against Zack […]

Hunter Pence Homers In Third Straight Game

Texas Rangers outfielder/designated hitter Hunter Pence went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-2 road loss against the Houston Astros. It was his third consecutive game with a home run, and he has 10 RBI during the three-game span, and 20 RBI across the past 13 outings. Pence will play regularly with Delino […]

Kole Calhoun Connects For His Ninth Home Run

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored in Thursday's 13-0 whitewashing of the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Calhoun had a five-game hitting streak snapped in Wednesday's game, but he is still hitting an impressive .364 (8-for-22) with two doubles, two homers and […]

Dexter Fowler Brings in Three Runs on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler had a productive game on Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI. He also scored a run of his own. Fowler has been very solid in the early going despite not showing a ton of power, slashing .302/.412/.406. He's worth a spot in most fantasy lineups at […]

Marcell Ozuna Drives in Four Runs on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna had a strong game on Thursday, going 1-for-4 with a double and two walks. He drove in four runs and scored two. The performance gave him 34 RBI on the season to go with a .244/.333/.548 slash line. He's always been a streaky hitter, but he's worth a spot […]

Gregory Polanco Hits a Home Run and Two Doubles on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a home run, and three RBI in Thursday's 17-4 loss to the Cardinals. The homer was Polanco's second of the season, while the three-hit day brought his average up to .315. The right fielder is starting to heat up and has two home runs and […]

Shin-Soo Choo, Hunter Pence To Share Time In Left Field

With Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo shifting to center field with Delino DeShields in the minors, Shin-Soo Choo and Hunter Pence will share time in left field. Choo will get more playing time in left field, but Pence could see at-bats as the designated hitter. Both Choo and Pence have made a case to be […]

Jordan Luplow Homers Twice In Win

Cleveland Indians outfielder Jordan Luplow hit two home runs in a rain-shortened win versus the White Sox on Wednesday. Luplow is now 6-for-18 since being recalled to the majors on April 28. Luplow was tearing up Triple-A pitching to the tune of a 3.53 average with a .618 slugging percentage, backed up by above-average plate […]

Andrew Stevenson Goes On Injured List

The Washington Nationals placed outfielder Andrew Stevenson (back) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with back spasms. In corresponding moves, Gerardo Parra was added to the active roster and relief pitcher Jimmy Cordero was designated for assignment. Stevenson had three hits in his 12 at-bats as a bench option for Washington, and he's unlikely […]

Michael Brantley Won't Play on Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. This appears to be a routine day off, so Brantley will be back next game most likely. Josh Reddick will bat eighth and play left field versus lefty Mike Minor. Reddick won't be a reliable option […]

Aaron Judge Not Doing Baseball Activities

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) still isn't doing any baseball activities, but manager Aaron Boone said he feels that Judge is "making good improvements every day." The slugging outfielder is unlikely to return until sometime in June, so fantasy owners will just have to stay patient. The good news is that the Bombers […]

Aaron Hicks Expected To Return Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) will play three games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this weekend and is expected to be activated from the injured list on Monday. He will be making his season debut after slashing .248/.366/.467 with a career-high 27 home runs, 79 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 137 games for the […]

Jesse Winker Out With Quad Tightness

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (quadriceps) is out of the lineup on Thursday with left quadriceps tightness, but he is available to pinch hit. Manager David Bell and Winker think that he'll be back in the lineup on Friday. It explains why Winker has been out the last few games. The 25-year-old left-handed swinger is […]

Eloy Jimenez Traveling With Team

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) will travel with the team to Toronto, and a decision on a rehab assignment will come after that series this weekend. He could return to the team late next week if everything goes according to plan. The 22-year-old phenom was hitting .241 (19-for-79) with three home runs and […]

Jay Bruce Benched Against Left-Hander

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against Yankees left-handed starting pitcher J.A. Happ. Mitch Haniger is in right field and is batting second, while Braden Bishop is in center field and hitting ninth. Haniger is usually a fine daily pick, and he's hitting .320/.485/.560 with a homer […]

Aaron Hicks Takes BP In Yankee Stadium

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) was seen taking batting practice on Thursday afternoon prior to the Yankees home tilt with Seattle. Hicks has been sidelined since spring training with a lower-back injury. After playing three rehab games with Single-A Tampa, Hicks has returned to New York to be with the big club, presumably being […]
