Wil Myers Rolls On With Two Knocks And Three RBI

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers pounded two doubles, recorded three RBI and scored two runs in Saturday's victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old is slashing .400/.538/.900 through three games and looking like a steal at his OF3 draft value. As long as he keeps the strikeouts down, Myers should continue providing plenty of […]

Byron Buxton Homers For Second Consecutive Game

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 1-for-4 with a home run and a strikeout in Saturday's 2-0 win over Milwaukee. Buxton belted his second home run in as many games, another Statcast darling of a blast, which traveled 411 feet at an exit velocity of 105.3 MPH. Both of the 27-year-old's home runs this season […]

Garrett Cooper Blasts A Home Run On Saturday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper had a big game on Saturday. He went 3-for-5 with a run and three RBI. He hit a home run, a double, and a single. Cooper is one of the best hitters on the Marlins roster, but with the designated hitter in the National League this season, his playing […]

Lewis Brinson Struggles In His Start On Saturday

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson got the start in left field in Saturday's game against the Rays but did not do much with the opportunity. Despite being in a lineup that scored 12 runs, Brinson went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. He was the only member of the starting lineup not to reach base. Don Mattingly […]

Starling Marte Stays Hot With Four More Hits On Saturday

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte stayed hot in Saturday's game against the Rays. He went 4-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored. Marte's hits were three singles and a triple. After an awful Opening Day performance in which he struck out four times, Marte has been on fire for the next two games. After […]

Nick Senzel Gets An At-Bat In Saturday Win

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (shoulder) replaced Jesse Winker (illness) in his team's 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. He grounded out to third base in his only at-bat. Winker departed late in the game because he "wasn't feeling great" according to manager David Bell. Senzel's ability to enter the game is […]

Jesse Winker Leaves Saturday's Game With Illness

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker left Saturday's 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals with an illness. Winker went 1-for-4 with a run scored before leaving the game. According to manager David Bell, Winker "wasn't feeling great" and was replaced in the game by Nick Senzel. Winker should be able to return in the near […]

Sam Haggerty To Get A Start Against The White Sox

Seattle Mariners utility man Sam Haggerty has not yet started a game through the first series of the season, but that will change. The Mariners are slated to face two left-handed starters in their upcoming series against the White Sox, and the switch-hitting Haggerty will start at least one of those games. Haggerty had a […]

Joey Gallo Homers, Walks Twice In Loss

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo slugged his first home run of the season on Saturday during an 11-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals. The left-handed hitter went deep in the first inning against southpaw Mike Minor. He later walked twice and struck out once. Through his first two games, Gallo now has an impressive […]

Shogo Akiyama Making Progress

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama (hamstring) is reportedly making progress as he rehabilitates his left hamstring strain. Akiyama injured the hamstring about three weeks ago during a Cactus League game and opened the season on the injured list. He is being assigned to the team's alternate training site in Louisville as he works his way […]

Nick Castellanos Ejected Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos was ejected during the fourth inning of his team's Saturday game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Castellanos was hit by a pitch during the inning and was visibly displeased with pitcher Jake Woodford afterward. He wound up coming around to score from third on a wild pitch and flexed over […]

Andrew Benintendi Leaves Game With Sore Lower Body

Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi left Saturday's game late after feeling "soreness in his lower half." It's not exactly clear when Benintendi got a bit banged up, though he did lay out for a nice catch in the outfield, so perhaps he came out of the play feeling sore. At any rate, it doesn't […]

Michael Brantley Considered Day-To-Day

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (wrist) was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Athletics early after getting hit by a pitch on his right wrist. Brantley initially remained in the game but was pulled before his next at-bat in the contest. Fortunately, the postgame X-rays came back negative- and the veteran outfielder is considered […]

Mookie Betts, Will Smith, Justin Turner Sitting Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, catcher Will Smith and third baseman Justin Turner are all sitting for Saturday's game against the Rockies. Betts will rest for the first time this season- something that probably won't happen too often, given his skill with both the bat and the glove. Turner, like Betts, will get the […]

Jason Heyward Hits First Home Run Of 2021

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Saturday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Heyward quietly had a solid 2020 campaign, but even so is in the lineup more for his defense. Manager David Ross is going to deploy Heyward as the everyday right fielder, but managers would be best served […]

Kris Bryant Hits First Home Run Of 2021

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a solo home run in Saturday's victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was Bryant's first dinger of the season. The former National League MVP is coming off of a tough 2020 campaign and enters this season with high expectations with his contract […]

Brent Rooker Recalled From Alternate Site

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Brent Rooker was recalled from the team's alternate site on Saturday in a corresponding move with teammate Josh Donaldson (hamstring) heading to the Injured list. Rooker's call-up indicates that Miguel Sano will likely make some starts at third in Donaldson's absence, with Rooker playing first- though the latter could also shift […]

Ramon Laureano Is Day-To-Day With Wrist Injury

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (wrist) is day-to-day after jamming his wrist in Friday's game against the Astros, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Laureano exited Friday's game shortly after jamming his wrist while sliding into first base trying to beat the throw. Managers should prepare for Laureano to miss a game or two, but for […]

Randy Arozarena Not In Lineup Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the lineup for Saturday's finale with the Marlins. It's a day off for Arozarena, who is 2-for-8 with two strikeouts to start the year. Austin Meadows will slide over to right to replace Arozarena, as Kevin Kiermaier will start in center and Manuel Margot will start […]

Byron Buxton Batting Third On Saturday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton will bat third against Brewers' right-hander Corbin Burnes on Saturday. Buxton was slotted into the sixth spot in the Twins' order on Opening Day- as he collected a home run, a stolen base, and a pair of walks. Manager Rocco Baldelli said that he wants to move the 27-year-old around […]

Franchy Cordero Makes Red Sox Debut On Saturday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora has given a clue on how he will use new outfielder Franchy Cordero, sitting him on Opening Day against Baltimore Orioles left-hander John Means and starting him against right-hander Matt Harvey on Saturday. This decision speaks to the extreme splits Cordero has had over his career, as he has a career .786 […]

Victor Reyes Out Of Saturday's Lineup

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Indians. Reyes struck out twice and scored a run on Opening Day- but finds himself on the bench in favor of right-fielder Nomar Mazara in the second game of the season. Miguel Cabrera will slot into the designated hitter role, […]

Teoscar Hernandez Hitting Cleanup Again

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is in the cleanup slot again for the second game of the season. Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a home run on Thursday. He drove in just one run against the Yankees' pitching staff in part because the No. 1-3 hitters went 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts. The 2020 season was […]

Hunter Renfroe Sitting On Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe will be on the bench on Saturday against the Orioles. Renfroe was in the lineup for Friday's game against southpaw John Means, but is taking a seat against right-hander Matt Harvey, so this seems to be a platoon with Franchy Cordero. It's certainly not ideal for fantasy managers- though […]

Ian Happ Not In Saturday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is not in the lineup Saturday against the Pirates. Happ went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout on Opening Day and will get his first rest day of the season, with Jake Marisnick entering the lineup in his place. Catcher Willson Contreras is slated to bat leadoff with Happ […]
