Jon Berti Goes Yard On Saturday

Miami Marlins utility player Jon Berti had a strong game on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double. He ended up with a run scored and an RBI. His home run was a no-doubter the opposite way in the fifth inning, his fourth blast of the season. Berti was off to […]

Ketel Marte Exits Saturday’s Matchup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) exited Saturday's contest against the Padres. The 27-year-old has been dealing with hamstring tightness, and he missed a few games during the week already as a result. Marte is batting .366 this season, and with the ailment not improving, fantasy managers unfortunately may be without him for a while […]

Andrew McCutchen Swipes Two Bags Saturday Afternoon

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-2 with an RBI, two runs scored, and two stolen bases versus the Mets on Saturday. The Phillies were aggressive on the basepaths facing Mets ace Jacob deGrom; Philadelphia stole five bases on six attempts and McCutchen led the way swiping his fourth and fifth bags of the season. […]

Randal Grichuk Drives In Four Versus Orioles

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk went 3-for-4 on Saturday with four RBI as his club went on to defeat the Orioles 12-4. His 14th homer of the year was a three-run bomb in the fifth that blew the game open as he later added an RBI single to push his total to 52 on […]

Bryce Harper May Not Play On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (leg) may not be available for the series finale against the Mets. Harper was nailed in the left leg on Saturday by a 91.6 mph Jacob deGrom changeup, which resulted in his premature exit. Although there is still a chance that Harper could be in the lineup on Sunday, skipper […]

Teoscar Hernandez Hits 11th Homer

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez hit his 11th home run of the season on Saturday during the team's 12-4 trouncing of the Orioles. His solo shot off Keegan Akin in the third was one of two hits as he added a two-run single in the sixth to finish the game going 2-for-5 with three […]

Gregory Polanco Homers In Loss Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-1 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday. He accounted for the only run of the day for Pittsburgh, as he now has eight homers in 63 games this season. Polanco has struggled at the plate all year long, as he is […]

Brett Phillips Drives In Three In Win Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Brett Phillips went 2-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in a 13-3 victory over the Angels on Saturday afternoon. That snapped an 0-for-14 skid for Phillips, as he is now slashing .203/.315/.322 with three homers, 11 steals, 18 RBI and 22 runs scored over 60 games. At […]

Manuel Margot Homers In Win Over Angels

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot went 1-for-4 with a home run, one walk, two RBI and two runs scored in a 13-3 win over the Angels on Saturday. It was his eighth homer of the season and his third in his last 15 games, as he's now slashing .273/.344/.473 with two steals, nine RBI […]

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and three runs scored in a 13-3 win over the Angels on Saturday.

Wil Myers Not In Lineup Saturday Night

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is not in the starting lineup on Saturday night. This looks to just be a night off for Myers, who has played in nine straight and 19 of the team's last 21 games. Myers has been hitting well over his last 15 games, slashing .260/.309/.460 with two homers, one […]

Jesse Winker Dealing With Hip Contusion

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (hip) left Saturday's game with a right hip contusion, according to C. Trent Rosencrans of The Athletic. Winker had grounded out in the bottom of the fifth inning before being replaced on defense in the top of the sixth. Winker said after the game that he felt fine and was […]

Bryce Harper Exits Game After Being Hit By Pitch

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (leg) exited Saturday's contest against the New York Mets after being hit by a pitch. Harper went to bunt but was hit on the left leg by a Jacob deGrom offering down and in. He was replaced by fellow outfielder Travis Jankowski. Fantasy managers will obviously be hoping this doesn't […]

Jesse Winker Exits Early On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker has exited Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the top of the sixth inning. He grounded out in the bottom of the fifth inning and was replaced in the field by Shogo Akiyama in the top of the sixth. He was 1-for-3 with a solo home run prior to […]

Willie Calhoun Exits Early On Saturday After HBP

Texas Rangers designated hitter Willie Calhoun left Saturday's game vs. the Kansas City Royals early after being hit by a pitch in the bottom of the second inning.

Joc Pederson Left Off Saturday's Lineup Card

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson will be off on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pederson doesn't start often versus lefties and the Cubs face left-hander Julio Urias this evening. Pederson has been in a slump with just two hits over his last 21 at-bats. For the season, Pederson is hitting .235 with 11 home […]

Cody Bellinger Has Scheduled Day Off On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger will get a day off on Saturday versus the Chicago Cubs.

In 69 at-bats, Bellinger is […]

Omar Narvaez, Jackie Bradley Jr. On The Bench

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez is on the bench Saturday against the Colorado Rockies with right-hander Antonio Senzatela on the mound. Narvaez, who has an .857 OPS and is off to one of his best years offensively, is getting rest after Friday night's contest. Manny Pina is catching and hitting eighth, but the defensive standout […]

Anthony Santander Back In Lineup Against Toronto

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is back in the starting lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays after being used as a pinch-hitter in Friday's game. The switch-hitting outfielder will bat cleanup against lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu. Still, we'd keep him on the fantasy bench outside of deeper leagues, considering the tougher-than-average matchup and Santander's recent slump. […]

Austin Hays Plates Two Friday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays made his one hit count in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays, going 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. The 25-year-old has not been able to find the success he had the past several seasons and is now slashing .225/.292./.396 with six home […]

Tommy Pham Smacks Leadoff Homer

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and three runs scored Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pham led off the contest with his seventh blast of the season to ignite a four-run first inning. The 33-year-old veteran now sports a sturdy .250/.373/.399 slash with 11 steals and 61 runs-plus-RBI […]

Alex Kirilloff Heads To Bench For Saturday's Contest

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff is on the bench for the third game of the series against the Cleveland Indians Saturday.

Max Kepler Not In Saturday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Cleveland Indians. Kepler is 1-for-13 with a home run, two RBI, and seven strikeouts over his last three contests. Perhaps a game on the bench will allow him to rediscover his timing at the plate. Trevor Larnach will start in […]

Alex Kirilloff Belts Sixth Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff ended a seven-game stretch without a homer Friday in an 8-7 win over the Cleveland Indians.

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez went 3-for-4 with two triples, a double, three RBI, and a pair of runs scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Cleveland Indians. Arraez was busy from the beginning of the game, tripling and scoring in the first inning, driving in a run with another triple and scoring again in […]

The Bigger Picture - It Isn't Really a Marathon

"It's a marathon, not a sprint." This axiom is one of the most tired expressions in all of baseball and is often used to prevent us from ascribing significance to a slump. The baseball season is the longest among all professional sports, spanning 162 games and six months, not including spring training and postseason action. […]
