Kyle Schwarber Goes Deep

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. It was the outfielders first bomb of the season and there should be plenty more to follow. Schwarber is an excellent source for owners who are looking for power and the inclusion of the […]

Wil Myers Powers Padres To Victory

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also walked on the evening. Myers cranked a fourth-inning hanging breaking ball by D-Backs starter Robbie Ray into the stands to spark the Friars 5-1 victory. The 29-year-old was the designated hitter on Saturday, so it’s apparent […]

Kyle Lewis Homers Again Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis went 1-for-3 and homered for the second game in a row to start the 2020 season. Though Lewis never hit for much power in the minors, he has flashed a lot of power so far between his time in the majors and summer camp. If Lewis continues to play at […]

Detroit Tigers outfielder Cameron Maybin (lower body camp) was lifted in the eighth inning of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Tyler Naquin Lands On Injured List With Toe Injury

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (toe) was initially deemed day-to-day after being held out of the team’s Opening Day lineup Thursday, but he will instead incur a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a toe ailment. With Naquin out of the mix for at least the next week, the duo of Jordan Luplow […]

Austin Meadows Working Out At Alternate Training Site

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (COVID-19) is working out at the team's alternate training site in Port Charlotte, according to manager Kevin Cash.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano had a big night vs the Angels going 2-for-3 with a homer, three runs scored, and two RBI.

Jake Cave Picks Up Two Hits Against White Sox

Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave filled in admirably for Byron Buxton (foot). Cave came to the plate five times, notching a pair of singles, two RBI and striking out twice.

First Impressions - MLB Opening Day 2020 Fantasy Notes

I can't remember being more excited for an Opening Day than this one. Although Thursday, July 23 was technically the first day of the 2020 MLB season, Friday is when 28 of the 32 teams took the field for the first time for regular-season play. Never have I been happier to fire up MLB Extra Innings […]

Prospects To Cut Loose In Dynasty Leagues

The dynasty format requires an owner to consider both the immediate and future implications of draft picks, trades, and waiver wire moves. Viewing roster decisions through two lenses, both present and long-term future makes fantasy baseball much more strategic and, unfortunately, much less forgiving. Any wrong move lives with you for years and makes you […]

Max Kepler Belts Two Home Runs Against White Sox

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler started his season off with a blast, two, to be exact. The 27-year-old homered twice, both solo shots, in the Twins' 10-5 Opening Day victory over the Chicago White Sox. Kepler deposited the first pitch he saw in 2020 over the right field fence, then tagged a Giolito fastball 107.5 […]

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, walk and two stolen bases on Opening Day against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also scored twice.

Cavan Biggio Leads Jays To Opening Day Victory

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio had a big night at the plate in the team’s 6-4 victory over the Rays on Friday.

Luis Robert Picks Up Two Hits In Debut

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went 2-for-4 with a single and double in his much anticipated big league debut. Robert is one of the top prospects in the game and is expected to be a big part of the White Sox lineup. Robert is one of the more exciting prospects in recent memories and […]

Michael Brantley Powers Astros To Victory

Houston Astros left fielder Michael Brantley went 2-for-3 with one walk and three runs batted in as the Astros took down the Mariners 8-2 on Opening Day. Brantley capped off a five-run fifth inning with his first home run of the season, a three-run shot to right field. Brantley is coming off, perhaps, his best […]

Kyle Lewis Homers In 2020 Opener

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis went 1-for-4 with a homer run in Friday's season opener against the Astros. Lewis seems to be picking up right where he left off after a productive summer camp and though he lacked power throughout his minor league career, he seems to have found it in the majors. However, Lewis […]

Yoenis Cespedes Goes Deep In Mets Opening Day Win

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, hitting as the Mets' designated hitter against the Braves on Opening Day, went 1-for-3 with a solo home run.

Corey Dickerson Gets Two Hits On Opening Day

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson made a good first impression on Opening Day, going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Dickerson hit third in a lineup that could surprise a bit this season. He's a solid fantasy option that should outperform his draft position in most formats. The lefty batter put up an […]
