Tyler Naquin Records Three Hits on Sunday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin went 3-for-3 on Sunday with an RBI. Naquin knocked a double and two singles, raising his line to .304/.304/.391. The batting average looks nice, but it's an empty line and Naquin doesn't have much upside. He's a deep-league bench option only.

Cody Bellinger Whacks League-High Seventh Homer

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger finished 3-for-4 with a double, his league-leading seventh home run, a walk and four runs scored in Sunday's 12-6 road win against the Colorado Rockies. Bellinger's homer was a screamer to right field, traveling a distance of 428 feet with an exit velocity of 107 mph with a launch […]

Justin Upton Still Wearing A Walking Boot

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (toe) said Sunday that he was surprised to hear his turf toe injury would keep him sidelined two to three months. He suffered the injury trying to track down a fly ball in an exhibition game March 24 at Angel Stadium. "I've never dealt with this before. So I […]

Kevin Kiermaier Likely To Sit In Monday's Series Opener

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is expected to take a seat for Monday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox with a left-handed starting pitcher on the mound for the home side. Entering the season, Kiermaier hit .234 (75-for-320) with 12 doubles, five triples, seven homers and 41 RBI with 94 strikeouts and a […]

Tommy Pham Halfway To The Splendid Splinter

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham singled in Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants to extend his team-record streak of reaching base to 42 games. He is now halfway to the Major League Record of 84 straight games set by Hall of Famer Ted Williams back in 1949. Pham is slashing .270/.378/.270 with six […]

Avisail Garcia Readies For Return To South Chicago

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia said he was surprised he was released by the Chicago White Sox in late November, and is uncertain why he was cut loose. Garcia will return to Guaranteed Rate Field on Monday, facing the Chicago White Sox as a visitor. "I'm happy where I am right now," he said. […]

Chad Pinder Drives In Three Runs Out Of Five Hole

Oakland Athletics infielder Chad Pinder made the start in Sunday's 9-8 road loss against the Houston Astros, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and three RBI batting out of the fifth spot of manager Bob Melvin's batting order. He was batting behind DH Kendrys Morales (0-for-5) with All-Star Khris Davis getting a routine day […]

Robbie Grossman Belts First Home Run In Road Loss

Oakland Athletics outfielder Robbie Grossman led off Sunday's series finale against the Houston Astros and he finished 3-for-5 with a double, two-run home run, two runs scored and three RBI in the 9-8 slugfest loss. Grossman set the table nicely, collecting his first multi-hit game since March 28 against the Los Angeles Angels. He is […]

David Fletcher Makes First Start In Left Field

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher made his first career start in left field on Sunday afternoon against the Texas Rangers. His start in the outfielder actually didn't last long, as he moved to third base for the injured Zack Cozart (forearm) to start the top of the third inning while Peter Bourjos took over […]

Kole Calhoun Available Heading Into New Week

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun (knee) banged his right knee into the right field wall while pursuing a foul ball on Saturday. He said before Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers that he felt fine and he was available, if needed. He didn't get into the game, but he appears to be fine to […]

Brian Goodwin Continues To Swing A Hot Bat

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-2 victory against the Texas Rangers. The no-doubter traveled 453 feet with a launch angle of 26.91 and an exit velocity of 108 mph against reliever Shawn Kelley in the bottom of the seventh […]

Mike Trout Dials Long Distance Again In Series Finale

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and three walks in Sunday's 7-2 victory against the Texas Rangers. Remember when he didn't have a homer across his first six games and fantasy owners were wringing their hands? He has now homered in four straight, posting five home runs with […]

David Dahl Leaves Sunday's Game Against Dodgers

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (side) was replaced in the top of the third inning on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers by Raimel Tapia. Dahl appeared to injure himself on a swinging miss against Dodgers lefty Julio Urias in the bottom of the second inning. He grabbed his side almost immediately, although ESPN announcer Alex […]

Michael Brantley Chips In Two Hits In Win

Houston Astros left fielder Michael Brantley went 2-for-4 with an RBI and one run scored in the Astros 9-8 win over the A's on Sunday. The newly-acquired slugger snapped an 0-for-16 streak by posting two straight multiple-hit games over the weekend and appears to be a fantastic fit in the middle of the Astros order […]

Michael Conforto's Late Heroics Not Enough

The New York Mets found themselves down by 11 runs in the seventh inning Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. From that point on, however, they mounted a furious comeback, scoring eight unanswered runs before ultimately falling short, 12-9. In the ninth inning, outfielder Michael Conforto recorded his second hit of the day when he connected […]

Clint Frazier Goes For Two Home Runs In Victory

After recording the game-winning home run Saturday night at Camden Yards, New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier had an even better performance Sunday afternoon. With the Yankees seeking a sweep, the 24-year-old connected on a pair of home runs, driving in four of his club's 15 runs on the day. Frazier joined Gary Sanchez in […]

Scott Schebler Hits First Homer

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in his team's 7-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Schebler's long ball came off of Pittsburgh ace Chris Archer in the third inning. Schebler, like much of the Reds lineup, is off to a slow start this season. He is hitting just […]

Max Kepler Stays Hot At The Plate

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler continued his hot hitting in a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. Kepler went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, his third home run in as many games. While it wasn't enough to power his team to the win, Kepler's early-season hitting has been an encouraging sign. Kepler is […]

Ian Desmond Floundering So Far

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond has been dreadful so far, and that continued on Saturday as he went 0-for-4 with another pair of strikeouts. Desmond is 3-for-30 to open the season, and he's already struck out 14 times. That ties him for fourth-worst in the league to this point, and he has the second-worst batting […]

Ryan Braun Slugs Third Homer Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Cubs. Braun has been playing close to every day for the Brewers so far this season and has been solid. The Brewers are expected to give him more days off than most players, but if Braun […]

David Dahl Continues To Shine

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl launched his second home run of the season on Saturday, continuing his pounding of the Dodgers pitching staff. Colorado would go on to lose the game, and Dahl's jack in the fourth inning was their only big hit of the night. He would also go on to single in their […]

Brandon Nimmo, Juan Lagares Out Of Sunday's Lineup

New York Mets outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Juan Lagares will be on the bench for Sunday's game against the Nationals. Jeff McNeil will start in left for Nimmo and bat leadoff, while Keon Broxton will be in center field and bat eighth for the Mets. McNeil has been forcing the Mets to find him a […]
