Welcome, RotoBallers, to my Week 14 edition of the top prospect performers. In this week's piece, we will look at two prospects who earned a brief taste of the major leagues earlier this season. On the pitching side, we will look at a rising arm in the Pittsburgh system, and no, it's not who you […]

Mike Trout Leaves the Yard in Win

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in his team's 8-2 win against the visiting Washington Nationals. He also drew a walk and struck out.

San Diego Padres outfielder Gavin Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in his team's 6-4 victory over the hosting Cincinnati Reds. He added two doubles. Sheets is up to seven two-baggers in the month and has chipped in two dingers and a triple for good measure. Despite racking up the extra-base hits, the […]

Kyle Tucker Posts Massive Line Vs. Former Team

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-3 win against the Houston Astros. He also singled twice, doubled, stole a base, and scored four times. The fantasy superstar put up an enormous box score against his former team, mashing homer No. 17, and bringing his theft total to […]

Brent Rooker Goes Yard in Win

Athletics designated hitter/outfielder Brent Rooker mashed his 17th home run of the season in the club's 7-0 blowout of the New York Yankees on Saturday. Rooker's fourth-inning solo blast off right-hander Clarke Schmidt was his lone hit in a 1-for-4 day. He also reached base on a walk. The 30-year-old slugger is batting a productive […]

Roman Anthony Registers Three Hits

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony came ready to swing the bat during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Anthony recorded a single in the second inning, but the fun didn't stop there. He would double in the fifth and eighth inning, which resulted in a 3-for-6 day at the plate for Anthony. It […]

Michael Harris II Sitting Against Lefty

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II is not in the lineup for the team's game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Eli White will man center field in Harris' place and bat seventh in a matchup with Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo. The lefty-swinging Harris could also sit Sunday against Phillies southpaw Ranger Suarez. per Mark […]

Hyeseong Kim Could Get More Playing Time

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie infielder/outfielder Hyeseong Kim has turned heads in limited playing time this season. The 26-year-old has only amassed 83 plate appearances in 35 games, but he has slashed a robust .372/.410/.538 with two homers, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored, and six stolen bases. Tommy Edman (ankle) has been the Dodgers' primary choice […]

Garrett Mitchell to Undergo Shoulder Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) will undergo surgery on his ailing left shoulder on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. His timeline to return is unclear, but Brewers manager Pat Murphy is hopeful that Mitchell will be able to play again this season. The 26-year-old originally landed on the 10-day injured list on April […]

Will Wagner Recalled, Alan Roden Optioned

The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled infielder Will Wagner from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned outfielder Alan Roden, the team announced. The 26-year-old Wagner is returning to the majors after spending two months in the minors. The Blue Jays demoted him April 29 after he batted a non-threatening .186/.284/.220 with no home runs in 68 plate […]

Luis Robert Jr. Remains Out on Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) is not in Saturday's lineup against San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray. Robert hasn't played since leaving early in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks with tightness in his hamstring. It's unknown whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. For now, the White Sox […]

Jake Fraley Might Avoid Surgery

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that the team is talking about going the non-surgical route with outfielder Jake Fraley's shoulder. Fraley was diagnosed with a partial tear in the labrum of his shoulder and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. It's good news for the 30-year-old veteran, but he's still likely […]

Emmanuel Rivera Recalled, Dylan Carlson Optioned

The Baltimore Orioles have recalled third baseman Emmanuel Rivera from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Saturday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. In a corresponding move, the Orioles have optioned outfielder Dylan Carlson to Triple-A. Rivera will provide some depth in the infield as third baseman Jordan Westburg (hand) was lifted from Friday's contest with an […]

Parker Meadows Heads to the Bench

Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Meadows will get a day off after playing in each of the last eight games. He has struggled since returning from the injured list, so maybe some time on the bench will help him. Matt Vierling […]

Matt Vierling Activated and Playing on Saturday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (shoulder) has been activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Vierling is back in the mix after missing most of the season due to right shoulder inflammation. Vierling was a valuable bat last season, so hopefully he can pick up where he left […]
