Jorge Soler Hits His Seventh Home Run

He went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in the game, his seventh of the year. The rest of the Royals combined for just two hits. Cardinals ace Jack Flaherty shut the […]

Matt Joyce Puts Together A Three-Hit Game On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Matt Joyce had a three-hit game on Monday, helping to lead the Marlins to an 11-8 win over the Washington Nationals. Joyce went 3-for-6 with three singles, a run scored, and two RBI. After a bit of a slow start, Joyce has been one of the most consistent and productive Marlins batters […]

Jon Berti Hits His First Home Run On Monday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Jon Berti hit his first home run of the season on Monday, helping the Marlins to an 11-8 win over the Washington Nationals. Berti started in the leadoff spot, playing centerfield. He went 2-for-5 with a walk, a run scored, and two RBI. Berti has played all over the field for the […]

Charlie Blackmon Scratched Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon was a late scratch for Monday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to left quad tightness. In his absence, Garrett Hampson will start in center field and bat eighth. It is unclear how severe the injury is for Blackmon, but fantasy managers should be crossing their fingers. The 34-year-old has […]

Randal Grichuk Leaves Early On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk left Monday's game in the eighth inning with lower back tightness. He was 2-for-4 with a three-run home run prior to his exit. The team said the decision was precautionary, so it is not a long-term concern for the 29-year-old. If anything, expect Grichuk to be day-to-day going forward […]

David Dahl Scheduled For Simulated Game Tuesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (back) will take part in a simulated game on Tuesday afternoon as he attempts to work his way back into the lineup. Right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez (biceps), who is rehabbing through an injury of his own, will serve as the pitcher in the simulated contest. Both players should be able […]

Kevin Kiermaier's X-Rays Come Back Negative

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier's (foot) X-rays have come back negative following Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 30-year-old left the game early after fouling a ball off of his foot. Thankfully, it appears that the three-time Gold Glove winner has avoided a serious injury. He will likely be out of the […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Slugs Fourth Homer

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. launched his fourth homer of the season during the team’s 6-4 win over the Rays on Monday. His solo shot of Blake Snell in the fifth went for his only knock of the game as he finished the contest going 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. Gurriel has heated up […]

Kevin Kiermaier Departs Monday’s Contest Early

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was forced to exit from Monday’s contest against the Blue Jays due to discomfort in his right foot after he was hit by a pitch. Kiermaier looked to have taken the pitch flush on his lower leg, so it’s not entirely surprising that Tampa Bay is being cautious. Manuel […]

Joey Gallo Out Of Monday’s Lineup

Texas Rangers outfielder/designated hitter Joey Gallo is not among the club’s starting nine for Monday’s contest against Oakland and left-handed Jesus Luzardo. The move appears to be just a regular day off for Gallo, even though he has mashed southpaws this season to the tune of a .907 OPS with five home runs in 37 […]

Leody Taveras Called Up Monday, Set To Hit Leadoff

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras was summoned from the alternate training site ahead of Monday’s game against Oakland and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Taveras, a 21-year-old switch-hitter, is ranked as the Rangers’ No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline. His best tool grades out as his glove, but he also has above-average ratings on his running ability. […]

Corey Dickerson Back In Lineup Monday, Bats Cleanup

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson returned to the starting nine for Monday’s contest against Washington and right-hander Austin Voth after having departed early Sunday due to a shoulder ailment. Dickerson socked his third home run of the year Sunday, having gone deep in back-to-back games, while maintaining an eight-game hitting streak. With a full slate […]

Astros-Angels Thursday Contest Shifted To Tuesday

The Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels have had their game scheduled for Thursday moved up to Tuesday due to concerns surrounding Tropical Storm Laura, which is headed for Texas. Instead of a full nine-inning game Thursday, the two teams will now play two seven-inning doubleheader contests Tuesday. Jose Suarez and Cristian Javier are set […]

H2H Points League Pickups, Waiver Adds: Week 6

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 6

It's hard to believe that most teams are nearing the halfway point of their seasons, but let's not forget that point sits at only 30 games. 30 games is still a small sample of performance for most players, and it's worth taking a look at some strange numbers from this season so far to illustrate […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 6

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Cody Bellinger Starting To Heat Up

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger was 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk during Sunday's 11-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. It appears Bellinger is starting to turn a corner, as he's batting .304 with four homers and six RBI over his last seven contests. The 25-year-old is still slashing a modest […]

Mookie Betts Blasts Two More Homers Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored, and two stolen bases during Sunday's 11-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. It was a monstrous performance from the 27-year-old and snapped his two-game hitless streak. Betts is now slashing .300/.369/.664 with 11 HRs, 24 RBI, five runs […]
