Rhys Hoskins Continues Hot Start

After taking part in yesterday’s destruction of the Miami Marlins with two hits and three RBI, Rhys Hoskins did more damage today, continuing his red-hot start to the 2018 campaign.

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 1-for-3 with a double in the 3-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

Lorenzo Cain Gets Two Hits In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 2-for-4 in the 3-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. This is an especially impressive stat line as the Brewers only amassed a mere three hits on the night.

Christian Yelich Placed On 10 Day DL With Oblique Strain

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has been placed on the 10 day DL for an oblique strain that he acquired on Wednesday.

The quick return should bring a sigh of relief for […]

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora will be at the top of the Cubs order on Sunday. Outfielder Ian Happ who has struggled will shift to the bench.

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones stole two bases against the White Sox on Saturday, showcasing one of his fantasy tools as the Tigers rolled to victory.

Ryan Braun Can't Get It Going Offensively

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 0-for-3 with a walk in the 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

With Domingo Santana and Eric Thames swinging a […]

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ hit a two-run double to give the Cubs the lead and victory Saturday afternoon. Happ was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts prior to prior to his ninth inning at-bat. Happ is off to a slow start, but should still be rostered as he can be of big help once he gets […]

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant hit his second home run of the season Saturday. It was a rocket off of Zach Davies in the top of the 6th inning. Bryant finished the game 3-for-3 adding a single, triple and also drawing a walk. He remains of the best offensive options in the game.
