Luis Robert In Midst Of 17-Game Homer Drought

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert has been getting on base with a good amount of regularity lately, batting .279 with a .323 OBP in June. However, he hasn't been providing much power from the plate for nearly a month now. Over his last 17 games, Robert hasn't hit a single home run and has […]

New York Mets outfielder Mark Canha displayed some power and speed by hitting a homer and stealing a base during his club's 5-4 win over the Brewers on Thursday.

Sam Hilliard Optioned To Triple-A On Thursday

This season, he struggled at the plate, slashing .161/.238/.268 with two home runs, 12 RBI, and 13 runs scored across 41 games.

Juan Soto Playing Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (knee) is starting in right field and is batting third against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler on Thursday. Soto was taken out of Monday's game early due to right knee soreness after he bumped it on the dugout bench, but he's back in the lineup and needs to be returned […]

Starling Marte Not Starting Against Milwaukee

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (forearm) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers after he was hit by a pitch on the forearm on Wednesday. Marte is dealing with a bruised right forearm after X-rays came back negative, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. There's a […]

Kevin Kiermaier Out Of Lineup Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (Achilles) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Kiermaier left the contest early on Wednesday with left Achilles inflammation, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that he's resting the day after. It remains to be seen how much time he'll miss, but […]

Orlando Arcia Homers, Adds Four Hits

Atlanta Braves utility man Orlando Arcia stands to take over at second base with Ozzie Albies (foot) expected to miss much of the rest of the season, and he has already made his presence felt. Batting eighth against the Washington Nationals Wednesday, Arcia went 4-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a walk. He […]

Jesse Winker Agrees To Two-Year Deal To Avoid Arbitration

The Seattle Mariners and outfielder Jesse Winker avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by agreeing to a two-year, $14.5 million deal. He'll receive $6.25 million this year and $8.25 million in 2023 with a chance to earn an extra $400,000 in bonuses next season. Winker was acquired in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds in March, […]

Enrique Hernandez Getting Close To Rehab Assignment

Boston Red Sox second baseman Enrique Hernandez (hip) took two simulated at-bats against left-hander Chris Sale (ribs) on Thursday, and he's getting close to what the team expects to be a short minor league rehab assignment.

Kris Bryant Close To A Rehab Assignment

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) is close to going on a minor league rehab assignment and will hit on the field again on Thursday.

Ryan Mountcastle Homers Twice Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Ryan Mountcastle continued his offensive tear against the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday, slugging two home runs and driving in three runs in four at-bats during a 7-6 defeat. Mountcastle now has four home runs in his last four games, and six in the month of June. He carries an impressive .286/.345/.776 […]

George Springer, Matt Chapman Out Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer and third baseman Matt Chapman (wrist) are not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Springer has a scheduled day off, while Chapman is out because his right wrist is bothering him again, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Raimel Tapia is in center field and batting […]

Teoscar Hernandez Homers, Swipes A Bag Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez provided a home run and a steal in a 7-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday. Hernandez went 2-for-4 with the two-run shot. With just four home runs on the season, Hernandez's power output has been a major disappointment, but he's slashing .383/.431/.633 with 10 runs scored and 12 […]

Alex Verdugo Homers, Drives In Four

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo had a big game Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics, going 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in a 10-1 victory. This is Verdugo's fourth home run of the season, but just his first since April 16. He's put up a strong .340/.404/.489 slash line in June, but […]

Jeff McNeil Smacks Fourth Homer

New York Mets utility man Jeff McNeil provided one of the only bright spots in the team's 10-2 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday, mashing a solo home run over the right-field fence. It was one of just five hits the Mets could muster against Corbin Burnes et al. McNeil himself went 2-for-4 with two […]

Bryan Reynolds Homers, Triples Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds continued his hot streak against the St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a triple, two RBI, and two runs scored. He now has 11 long balls on the season, and has eight multi-hit performances in the month of June. He's slashed .404/.439/.692 since the calendar turned, […]

Brendan Donovan Has Three Hits, Drives In Two

St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan batted second in the lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday and performed well, going 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored. While Donovan is no counting stats maven with just one homer and two steals this season, he's been an excellent fantasy add nonetheless with […]

Christopher Morel Homers, Drives In Three

Chicago Cubs utility man Christopher Morel provided most of the offense for the club Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run and three RBI. It was his fourth homer of the year, but not nearly enough to save the Cubs from a 19-5 defeat at the hands of the San Diego Padres. It's looking […]

Trey Mancini Still Out Against Blue Jays

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini (hand) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Mancini was hit on his right hand by a pitch on Monday and hasn't played since, and he said on Wednesday that he's still two to three days away from returning to action. Hopefully the […]

Pete Crow-Armstrong To Miss A Week Or Two

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong (hand) suffered a hand injury in the minor leagues and is expected to miss a week or two, according to a source. The injury isn't too serious, but the Cubs' No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will have to sit out a bit at High-A South Bend. The 20-year-old […]

Jarren Duran Leading Off Again Thursday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is starting in center field and hitting leadoff again on Thursday against Oakland Athletics right-hander Paul Blackburn. Duran was called up for the second time this year on Wednesday and was inserted into the leadoff spot, going 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. With Enrique Hernandez (hip) […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 10

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Texas Heat: Rangers Bats Finally Heating Up for Fantasy Baseball

The Texas Rangers made some massive investments in the team’s offense this past offseason, signing free agent infielders Corey Seager and Marcus Semien to long-term contracts worth a combined $500 million. Those marquee moves put the Rangers back on the map in the AL West. Unfortunately, the newly-signed duo struggled immensely out of the gate […]

The Nats Aren't Trading Juan Soto, But Should You?

It’s sometimes easy to forget Juan Soto is just 23 years old. It wasn’t crazy to call him the best hitter in baseball heading into 2022, and he was getting drafted in the top-three in just about every fantasy league. He also reportedly rejected a $350 million dollar offer from the Nationals and has since […]
