Seattle Mariners outfielder Dee Gordon continues to hit from the leadoff spot this season and is hitting .345 during the month of May. Gordon already has 54 hits this season with 15 stolen bases and 24 runs scored. The rub with Gordon will always be his reluctance to take a walk. Over his last 58 […]

Joey Gallo Would Prefer Not To Play Third Base

Texas Rangers outfielder/first baseman Joey Gallo would prefer not to return to playing third base. Gallo believes that third base is the hardest of the positions he has played. This season in 178 plate appearances, Gallo is hitting .200 with 13 home runs and a league-leading 61 strikeouts. Gaining third base eligibility would be a […]

Kyle Schwarber Out Of Thursday’s Lineup Versus Braves

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will sit Thursday versus the Braves. The Braves will have left-hander Max Fried on the hill Thursday and manager Joe Maddon still does not have confidence playing Schwarber versus lefties. Ian Happ will take over for Schwarber and bat in the No. 8 spot.

Ryan Braun Likely To Head To DL

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (back) is "more likely than not" to head to the disabled list. Braun has been dealing with back tightness and it looks like it could warrant a spot on the disabled list after originally being thought as day-to-day. Keep an eye on what happens to Braun and owners should prepare […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna had an excellent Wednesday night. He went 2-for-4 and scored a run. He also broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth with an RBI-single to help the Braves win, 4-1. He scored later that inning on a bases-loaded walk. While he's not hitting his lofty .300+, he's still quite an […]

Brandon Belt Homers In Third Straight Game

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt has been on fire as of late and homered in his third straight game on Wednesday against the Reds. He also singled giving him three mutli-hit games in his last four. Belt has been the steal of the draft so far as he is currently the second ranked […]

Cincinnati Reds left fielder Adam Duvall went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run on Wednesday against the Giants. The shot capped off a four-run first inning for the Reds, who went on to win 6-3.

Brandon Nimmo Provides Only Mets Offense

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo may not be in the best situation playing-time wise, but at least on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, he made the most of his one appearance. Pinch hitting in the bottom of the ninth in what finished as a 12-1 route, Nimmo was the lone bright spot for […]

Solid Outing From Curtis Granderson Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson hasn’t been quite as productive as he was earlier this season, but at least for the last two days he’s gotten back on the right foot.

Cody Bellinger Playing Centerfield Wednesday, Matt Kemp Sits

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman and outfielder Cody Bellinger is playing centerfield on Wednesday versus the Marlins and batting fifth. Bellinger is shifting Joc Pederson over to left and Chris Taylor, who sometimes plays center, is firmly entrenched as the Dodgers' everyday shortstop. Matt Kemp is inexplicably sitting. He's dominated lefties and the Dodgers are […]

Josh Reddick Hitting .360 Lifetime Against Angels Garrett Richards

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick will have a favorable matchup when the team takes on Garrett Richards and the Angels Wednesday night.
