Twins Call Up Kyle Garlick From Minors

The Minnesota Twins called up outfielder Kyle Garlick from Triple-A St. Paul to take shortstop Kyle Farmer's (jaw) spot on the roster. The Twins also moved outfielder Gilberto Celestino (thumb) to the 60-day injured list. Garlick, a right-handed hitter, could see some playing time in Minnesota's outfield against left-handed pitchers, but he shouldn't be on […]

Sam Hilliard Picks Up Second Stolen Base Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Sam Hilliard went 0-for-2 with a run scored, his second stolen base of the season, a walk and a strikeout in the team's 5-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.

Taylor Trammell Close To Rehab Assignment

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell (hand) is getting close to going on a minor-league rehab assignment and is "probably looking at a few more days," according to manager Scott Servais. Trammell has picked up his baseball activity in Arizona and has been hitting off a pitching machine. He suffered a broken hamate bone in his […]

Dylan Moore Starting Rehab Assignment Soon

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais estimates that utilityman Dylan Moore (core, oblique) will join Triple-A Tacoma for a minor-league rehab assignment on April 18, and he will likely need at least five games before he's activated from the injured list. Moore hasn't aggravated his injury, but he's not quite ready for game action and the […]

Seiya Suzuki, Brandon Hughes Could Return This Weekend

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (oblique) and relief pitcher Brandon Hughes (knee) could come off the injured list to make their season debuts this weekend. Suzuki began a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa last weekend and played in back-to-back games last Saturday and Sunday. He hit a home run on Wednesday and could return […]

Masataka Yoshida Remains Out Thursday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (hamstring) remains out of Boston's starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays and left-hander Jeffrey Springs on Thursday. Yoshida is dealing with right hamstring tightness and will miss his second straight game, but he's expected to be ready to go again on Friday when the team begins a series […]

Anthony Santander Still Out Thursday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics. However, he has been feeling better and will be available off the bench. It's a good sign that the 28-year-old will be back in the starting lineup on Friday. Santander has gotten off to a slow start […]

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (calf) exited Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to left calf tightness. He went 0-for-2 with a run scored before leaving in the fourth inning.

Breakout Hitters for Fantasy Baseball - MLB Batters Rising for Week 3

I started this post series early last season and it ran weekly throughout the year, and it was a pretty big success for us - so we're back with more in 2023! This is an introduction you should read, at least this very first time. The title of the post is called "breakout hitters", but […]

Cody Bellinger Goes Yard In Cubs Defeat

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger hit a single, knocked in a run, and added a solo shot in the ninth frame despite the 5-2 loss to Seattle.

Alek Thomas Registers Two Doubles Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas was 2-for-4 Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Thomas had two doubles in the 7-3 win. The 22-year-old has only three hits in the first 12 games with the Diamondbacks. Fantasy managers will need more from Thomas as the season progresses, as he is carrying a low batting average of .200. […]

George Springer Delivers Game-Winner On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles, an RBI, and two strikeouts in a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Springer played the hero in the bottom of the 10th inning when he slapped an RBI single up the middle to score Danny Jansen and win the […]

Bryce Harper Preparing To Play First Base

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) is several months into his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The All-Star has recently begun taking reps at first base in hopes to return to playing the field sooner. This will not speed Harper's return to the lineup as he will be cleared to hit sooner than doctors will […]

Juan Soto Hits Third Homer Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, and two RBI in a 5-2 loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday. Soto took New York starter Tylor Megill deep for a two-run shot in the first inning. He absolutely destroyed the baseball on the homer as the ball traveled […]

Fantasy Baseball Buyer Beware: Week 3 Waiver Wire Edition

Week 3 of the MLB season is here, and if you’re not as excited as you were on Opening Day, you’re doing it wrong. We’ve entered the early stages of the season where you start to get a grasp on just how good (or bad) of a season some players are going to have. Rookies […]

Mike Trout Reaches Base Once On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was 0-for-3 with a walk in a 3-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Trout reached base just one time in the tight contest and fanned once.

Byron Buxton Injured In Wednesday's Win

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that outfielder Byron Buxton (head, leg) will be on the team's flight on Wednesday night to New York and that "we're going to see how he wakes up (feeling) tomorrow" after a hard collision at second base in the 3-1 win over the White Sox. "His leg got hit […]

Spencer Jones Off To Hot Start

Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones is off to a blisteringly hot start in High-A, slashing .500/.550/1.167 with three home runs and seven RBI through four games. His large 6'7" frame draws comparisons to Yankees superstar Aaron Judge, and with the potential for power production already exhibited, it is not an asinine comparison. A string of […]

Anthony Santander Not Playing Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the team's starting lineup against left-hander Ken Waldichuk and the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday because he's dealing with a sore back, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The skipper said it's "not a huge deal," though, so Santander should be available off the bench and treated as day-to-day […]

Jackson Chourio Clubs Two Home Runs

Brewers top prospect Jackson Chourio hit his first two home runs of the 2023 Double-A season in a game for the Biloxi Shuckers. The right-handed hitter's first home run was an opposite-field line-drive home run in the fifth. His second was a walk-off two-run homer hit to left-center. The 19-year-old continues his meteoric rise from […]

Masataka Yoshida Scratched From Wednesday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (hamstring) was scratched from the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the undefeated Tampa Bay Rays due to right hamstring soreness. The Red Sox are taking a cautious approach with the 29-year-old rookie early in the season, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. He's off to […]

German Marquez Goes On IL, Rockies Recall Nolan Jones

The Colorado Rockies placed starting pitcher German Marquez (forearm) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a right forearm injury and recalled infielder/outfielder Nolan Jones from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Marquez doesn't have any structural damage in his arm, so he should come off the IL when eligible. Colorado's ace has made […]

Rangers Place Corey Seager On IL, Activate Leody Taveras

The Texas Rangers placed shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left hamstring strain and activated outfielder Leody Taveras (oblique) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Seager has a Grade 2 hammy strain, so he's expected to miss a minimum of four weeks. The 28-year-old injured himself […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Re-Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is back in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Gurriel got the night off last night with Corbin Burnes on the mound for Milwaukee but also because he's scuffled out of the gate with his new club. Acquired from the Blue Jays in an off-season blockbuster, […]
