Esteury Ruiz Up To 80 Stolen Bases

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Esteury Ruiz is up to 80 stolen bases on the season.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/23/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

After watching my Steelers lose to their division rival Cleveland Browns last night, I'm ready to focus on baseball and forget about football until Sunday. They didn't just lose, they were handled in the second half and the Browns are not even a very good football team, it looks like it's going to be a […]

Jarred Kelenic Productive In Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic drew the start in his first game back from the minor leagues Thursday, and he delivered, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored. Kelenic had been very hot of late at Triple-A Tacoma, and while this performance only lifts his season […]

Mariners Concerned About Julio Rodriguez's Injury

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) will undergo an MRI exam on Friday in Kansas City, according to manager Scott Servais, who called the injury "concerning."

Brendan Donovan Hits Grand Slam

St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan played hero Thursday, hitting a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning of a 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres. Donovan also walked in five plate appearances. He now has five homers on the season. Donovan doesn't add much power or speed, as he's stolen just two […]

Giancarlo Stanton Homers In Three-Hit Game

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton went deep again Thursday night, hitting a two-run homer as part of a 3-for-4 day at the plate. Stanton has largely struggled in September, with a .692 OPS in 64 plate appearances, but he's now hit home runs in two of his last three games. That gives Stanton 28 […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Iffy To Start Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Phillies and the club is "unsure" about his availability for Friday's matchup. The 24-year-old felt some mid-back tightness following batting practice, and manager Brian Snitker stated that something "banged on him" after hitting in the cage afterwards. It's a situation […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Back Tightness Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies with mid-back tightness. Until we know more about Acuna's condition, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Robbie Grossman is moving to right field and will bat ninth, while Marcell Ozuna is now starting in left field […]

Luis Robert Out Again Thursday Against Guardians

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians.

Seiya Suzuki Not Expected Back This Weekend

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, who is on the paternity list, isn't expected back for the team's four-game weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates since his wife has not yet delivered their baby.

Andrew Benintendi Unlikely To Return Before Playoffs

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (hand, wrist) said "it's pretty safe to say the regular season is out" for his return to the team. Benintendi is hoping to be part of the team's postseason roster, but he's not sure yet when he'll resume swinging a bat. The 28-year-old suffered a broken hamate bone and […]

Brandon Marsh Out On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. It shouldn't come as a big surprise after Marsh bruised his left knee attempting to make a catch at the wall on Wednesday. The Phillies are also facing tough left-hander Max Fried in Thursday's tilt, so it […]

Julio Rodriguez Leaves Early With Lower Back Tightness

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) left the game early on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics with lower back tightness in the first inning. It's not a good sign for the 21-year-old All-Star, as he also missed three games over the weekend with the same issue. Seattle will be hoping to have Rodriguez for […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Back In The Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) is back in left field and is hitting leadoff on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jose Urena. Wade will be right back in the lineup after leaving early on Wednesday with hamstring tightness. It obviously wasn't a very serious injury for the 28-year-old left-handed hitter. […]

Ramon Laureano Expected To Miss Rest Of The Year

Oakland Athletics center fielder Ramon Laureano (hamstring) is expected to miss the rest of the season after being placed on the 10-day injured list last Saturday with a right hamstring strain.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 24

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

Brandon Nimmo To Undergo MRI On Thursday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (quad) will undergo an MRI on Thursday. The left-handed outfielder was pulled from Wednesday's game due to a quad issue.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Collects Two Hits Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. recorded two hits in five at-bats on Wednesday when his team lost to the Washington Nationals 3-2. He singled twice, scored once, and had an RBI.

Brandon Marsh Out With Bruised Knee

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a bruised left knee.

Will Brennan Making MLB Debut Wednesday

The Cleveland Guardians selected the contract of outfielder Will Brennan from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, and he will make his big-league debut against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Lance Lynn.

Brandon Nimmo Hoping He Won't Miss Much Time

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (quadriceps) said he thinks he caught his quadriceps injury on Wednesday early enough to avoid a major issue.

Mariners Recall Jarred Kelenic

The Seattle Mariners are recalling outfielder Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
