We have a busy Saturday in the works with most of it during the day. Are they letting the college boys have their fun in Omaha, or was this just MLB wanting to get people out in the summer sun? Whatever the case, we're here for it! Well...except for the Cubs and Cardinals in London. […]

Potential Hitter Breakouts for Fantasy Baseball - Samulski Custom Leaderboard

When the summer months hit, it can sometimes be hard to think of where to look to find fantasy diamonds in the rough. Should we still be looking at year-to-year changes? Should we be using the last month's surface-level stats? Should we use Statcast x-stat leaderboards or the rolling windows? Instead of doing any of […]

Mookie Betts Blasts 18th Home Run Of The Year

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and a strikeout in a 3-2 win over the Houston Astros on Friday. Betts put the Dodgers on the board early with a solo home run, his 18th of the season, off J.P. France in the bottom of the first inning. […]

Mike Yastrzemski Lands On The Injured List

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday night.

Yastrzemski has been on a roll, batting .313 with four home runs, 11 RBI, and nine […]

Cedric Mullins Considered Day-To-Day

According to Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, outfielder Cedric Mullins (groin) is considered "day-to-day." The 28-year-old has been on the shelf since late May with a groin strain.

Will Brennan Expects To Return By Sunday

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan (shoulder) expects to return to the lineup by Sunday against Milwaukee, at the latest.

Harrison Bader To Miss Friday's Game

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 29-year-old recently returned from the injured list, so it appears the Yankees are going to be cautious with him. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine rest day for […]

Jarren Duran Sitting Out On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This marks the second time in the last four games that Duran has sat out against a right-handed starter. It's a bit concerning that the Red Sox continue to bench Duran. He has a decent […]

Esteury Ruiz Getting A Breather Against Blue Jays

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz is taking the day off on Friday as the team takes on the Toronto Blue Jays. Ruiz will get a normal day of rest to start the weekend after snapping a seven-game hitting streak on Thursday.

Will Benson Gets Rest Day On Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for the left-handed slugger. Benson has been hot at the plate since the start of June. He's slashing .333/.492/.533 with two homers and five RBI in […]

Riley Greene Plays Catch On Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) was spotted playing catch on Friday without an air cast. That is good news as Greene works his way back from a stress reaction in his left fibula. The left-handed slugger has been sidelined since the end of May, but hopefully won't miss too much more time. It sounds […]

Wil Myers Officially Released

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Wil Myers has been officially released by the organization on Friday. The 32-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week, but will now become a free agent. Originally, the Reds signed Myers to a one-year. $7.5 million deal this past offseason. Sadly, Myers struggled hitting only .189 with three home runs and […]

Zac Veen Out For Rest Of Season

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen (wrist) underwent left wrist surgery Thursday and will be out for the rest of the season. It was an up-and-down 2023 season for the 21-year-old.
