St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill had an excellent game on Wednesday in an 8-2 win over Cleveland. O'Neill went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI. He hit two home runs and a single. Unfortunately for O'Neill and his fantasy managers, only one runner was on base for his two home runs. Still, […]

Tyler Naquin Should Be Back Soon

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) isn't expected to need an IL stint. The veteran injured his left hamstring during Sunday's outing against the Cardinals, and he hasn't been back in the lineup since. However, skipper David Bell didn't seem too overly concerned, so it appears as if Naquin could be back at some point […]

Clint Frazier Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is absent from Wednesday's lineup for the contest against the Minnesota Twins. Frazier has ceded the left-field duties to Miguel Andujar for the second straight game, as the latter is swinging a hotter bat lately.

Luis Arraez Taking Batting Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Twins utility Luis Arraez (shoulder) is taking batting practice on the field Wednesday ahead of his team's contest against the New York Yankees.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas will make his first career start Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers, having been called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) said he's feeling "100 percent" healthy following his first rehab game Tuesday night.

Regardless […]

Gilberto Celestino Rejoining Big Club

Minnesota Twins outfielder Gilberto Celestino was recalled from Triple-A ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Celestino was just sent down Tuesday when Rob Refsnyder was activated, though the young outfielder is needed once again with Kyle Garlick (hernia) headed to the 10-day injured list.

Kyle Garlick Headed To Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick (hernia) is headed to the injured list with a sports hernia.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (back) was placed on the injured list before Wednesday's game with a lumbar strain. In a corresponding move, the Marlins called up first baseman Lewin Diaz from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Alex Verdugo Sits For Second Straight Day

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) is out of the lineup for the second straight day, and manager Alex Cora says that is the result of some minor back tightness.

Connor Joe Recalled From Triple-A

Colorado Rockies' first baseman Connor Joe has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque after Matt Adams (elbow) was placed on the injured list on Tuesday. Joe will serve as a reserve first baseman and provide some depth in the outfield for Colorado. He slashed .233/.365/.279 with four RBI across 43 at-bats earlier this season. He doesn't […]

Rangers Designate Khris Davis For Assignment

The Texas Rangers designated outfielder/designated hitter Khris Davis for assignment on Tuesday after he hit .157 with two home runs and five RBI in 22 games in his first season with the team.

Chicago Cubs corner infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant will get a day of rest on Wednesday versus the San Diego Padres.

Amed Rosario Collects Three More Hits Tuesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop and outfielder Amed Rosario went 3-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored, and one RBI in Tuesday night's 10-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Rob Refsnyder Collects Two Hits In Return

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder went 2-for-3 with an RBI double in Tuesday's loss to the New York Yankees. It was Refsnyder's first game back since returning from a concussion- he wasted no time in picking up right where he left off at the plate. The 30-year-old is slashing .340/.379/.528 with two homers and 10 […]

Mike Tauchman Hits Grand Slam Tuesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Tauchman made his lone hit count in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers, going 1-for-4 with a grand slam.

Miguel Andujar Belts Fourth Homer

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar belted his fourth home run of the season in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Joey Gallo Exited Early On Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (groin) was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was removed due to groin tightness during the eighth inning.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge didn't record a hit but drove in a pair of runs in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Minnesota Twins.

How to Approach Hitters With Offseason Mechanical Adjustments

Fantasy baseball is inherently reactive. As proactive as fantasy managers try to be in terms of projecting player performance, there is always an information gap between what MLB players are doing (and plan to do in the future) and the publicly available information that fantasy managers leverage. In no aspect of the game is the […]
