Kyle Lewis Goes Deep In Rehab Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, one run scored and a strikeout in his minor league rehab game with Triple-A Tacoma on Friday night. Lewis played five innings in left field before leaving the game, and he's now gone deep five times in his last six games in […]

Andrew McCutchen Drives In Three Runs In Friday's Loss

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen had three of the club's four RBI in Friday's 8-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants. He was 1-for-5 with a run, but his lone hit was a double with the bases loaded. At 35 years old, McCutchen is arguably having his worst offensive campaign, slashing .258/.318/.391 with nine […]

Mike Yastrzemski Walks Off Friday's Game With Grand Slam

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski played hero in Friday's 8-5 win against the Milwaukee Brewers after he hit a walk-off grand slam with one out in the ninth inning. Overall, he was 2-for-4 with four RBI, a run, and a walk. Yastrzemski is having his worst fantasy year since he debuted in 2019, slashing […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Swipes His 20th Bag Of The Year

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. went 1-for-5 with a single, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Washington Nationals. He has now stolen a base in three consecutive games and he has 20 steals on the year. Apart from his elite base-running, Acuna has been a bit underwhelming […]

Angels Hopeful Mike Trout Will Return Saturday

Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin stated on Friday night that he is planning for star outfielder Mike Trout (back) to be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, he also added that the team will have to see how Trout's back is feeling when he wakes up on Saturday. […]

Leody Taveras Homers To Continue Hot Streak

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run off of Robbie Ray and the Seattle Mariners Friday. Taveras has been enjoying perhaps the bes stretch of his career lately, with a .409/.413/.750 slash line over his past 15 games. He has three homers and four steals in that span. Taveras also […]

Julio Rodriguez Drives In Five Against Rangers

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez drove in a whopping five RBI in Friday's game against the Texas Rangers, going 2-for-5 with a grand slam. He now has 16 home runs this year and a modest four-game hit streak to his name. Rodriguez struggled to start the season, but ever since the calendar turned to May […]

Giancarlo Stanton Hits Three-Run Shot

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run home run Friday, but it wasn't enough to secure the victory, as the Boston Red Sox won the game 5-4 in 11 innings. Stanton was 2-for-5 in the contest. He now has 24 home runs on the season to go with an .828 OPS, 37 runs […]

Riley Greene Drives In Three Runs

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene put together a solid performance during Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The rookie outfielder went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in what ended up being a loss for Detroit. He's hitting .252/.357/.369 with two homers, 11 RBI through 26 games. The 21-year-old is the top prospect […]

Luis Robert Leaves Friday's Game Early

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert was removed from Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins after he was feeling light-headed. Robert drew a walk and came around to score in his lone plate appearance in the contest before Adam Engel replaced him as a pinch-hitter in the second inning. All indications are that Robert will […]

Christian Yelich Returns To Lineup Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is back in the lineup on Friday after a three-game absence. Yelich will hit leadoff and play left field against San Francisco Giants left-hander Alex Wood. The veteran outfielder had been dealing with mid-back tightness, which caused him to be scratched from Tuesday's lineup, but he's apparently feeling good […]

Jack Suwinski, Michael Perez Optioned To Minors

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski and catcher Michael Perez were optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. Interestingly enough, both Suwinski and Perez had three-homer games in June, yet here they are less than a month later. Unfortunately, both have been unable to maintain success this season. Suwinski does have 14 homers, but it comes with […]

Jurickson Profar Returns Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (concussion) will make his return to the lineup on Friday, playing left field and leading off against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Profar missed seven games after colliding with teammate C.J. Abrams on July 7th and sustaining a concussion. It is nice to see Profar back so quickly, as it was […]

Eloy Jimenez Unlikely To Play This Weekend

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) is doubtful to play this weekend against the Minnesota Twins, according to manager Tony La Russa. The young slugger left Wednesday's game with right leg tightness and said today that he felt the same pain he had during his rehab assignment that caused a setback. He was, however, […]

Mike Trout Remains Out Of Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) will not be in the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trout was initially expected back today, but the lineup card says otherwise. It sounds like he is still dealing with upper back spasms, although he is once again listed on the lineup card and […]

Juan Yepez Lands On Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right forearm strain. The severity of the injury is unknown currently, but an update should be available within a few days. After a solid first few months at the plate, Yepez has had a disastrous July, with […]

Aaron Hicks On The Bench Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (shin) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. Hicks has been sidelined since he fouled a ball off his right shin on Tuesday. He was able to take batting practice on the field before Friday's contest, though, so there's a chance he'll […]

Enrique Hernandez Receives Injection

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) received a platelet-rich plasma injection on Friday to help speed up the healing in his injured hip. His diagnosis of a flexor strain remains the same, and he will ramp up activity after the All-Star break. Hernandez had a visit with a hip specialist on Thursday after having […]

Garrett Cooper Back In Action Against Phillies

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (knee) is starting at first base and hitting second on Friday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Kyle Gibson. Cooper will be available again for fantasy managers after missing the last two games due to a bruised left knee. The 31-year-old All-Star has been in a recent cold stretch at the […]

Jesus Sanchez Out Again Friday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez remains out of the starting lineup again on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Sanchez was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday with a personal issue, and it remains to be seen if he'll return before the All-Star break, which begins on Monday. The 24-year-old is hitting just .205/.262/.386, but […]

Jon Berti Lands On IL, Jorge Soler Reinstated

The Miami Marlins placed infielder Jon Berti (groin) on the injured list with a left groin strain on Friday and reinstated outfielder Jorge Soler (pelvis) from the injured list in a corresponding move. The Marlins also optioned Daniel Castano to the minors and recalled pitcher Cody Poteet. Berti suffered a mild groin strain in Thursday's […]

Enrique Hernandez Visits With Specialist

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) visited with a hip specialist in New York on Thursday and will consult with that doctor if there's anything more serious going on in his hip after the Red Sox shut down his minor league rehab assignment after just one game due to continued discomfort. The 30-year-old doesn't […]

Harrison Bader Won't Return Until After All-Star Break

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (foot) said he's unlikely to return until after next week's All-Star break. Bader is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, which is bad news for a player that makes his living on his speed. The 28-year-old has resumed a running program, but there just isn't enough time […]

Tyrone Taylor Beginning Rehab Assignment

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (concussion) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday. Taylor went on the seven-day concussion injured list on July 3 and had a bit of a setback that caused his rehab assignment to be delayed. With the All-Star break beginning on Monday, it's unlikely that he'll […]

Elier Hernandez Gets Two Hits In MLB Debut

Texas Rangers outfielder Elier Hernandez put together a nice performance during his MLB debut on Thursday. The 27-year-old outfielder was called up after putting together solid numbers in the minors this season. On Thursday, Hernandez went 2-for-3 as the designated hitter in the loss to the Seattle Mariners. The expectation is that Hernandez will get […]

Byron Buxton Tallies Two Hits In Loss To White Sox

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 2-for-4 with a triple in the team's 12-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. July hasn't been kind to the 28-year-old thus far. This was his first multi-hit outing of the month. He's carried an ugly .128/.196/.383 slash line across 11 July games while striking out 18 […]

George Springer Will Skip All-Star Game To Rest Elbow

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) has chosen not to play in this year's All-Star game. Instead, he is going to use the break to rest his sore right elbow. Springer made this announcement on Thursday, stating "Our team comes first." The 32-year-old first injured his elbow back on June 21. He missed three […]
