Brett Gardner Homers In Win

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in a Game 1 win vs the Twins.

Austin Meadows Doubles Home a Run as Rays Fall to Astros in Game One

The loss wasn’t Meadows doing, as he walked twice and drove in Eric Sogard in the eighth with a double. He opened up the game with a walk against Justin Verlander, but the Rays couldn’t get anything going until he departed the game. It’s an uphill battle for the Rays at this point, as they’re […]

Lorenzo Cain Not Expected To Need Surgery

Marwin Gonzalez Hitting .276 Since All-Star Break

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez was able to put together a strong second half after a dismal first few months of his season. Gonzalez was hitting .211 on May 11 but has been able to rebound to post decent offensive numbers. The signing of Gonzalez certainly could seem like a disappointment from a fantasy perspective […]

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton finished up the season strong heading into Game 1 of the ALDS against the Twins. Stanton popped two home runs and drove in six runs over his last seven games played to finish off the regular season. No one doubts Stanton's talent and power but another injury is always […]

Aaron Judge Is Ready To Rock

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge will be ready and waiting when the Twins come to town for Game 1 of the ALDS. Judge saw only 13 at-bats this season against Twins pitching but hit .462 with two doubles. Judge is rounding into shape at the right time as well, posting a .962 OPS in […]

Alex Verdugo Unlikely To Play In Postseason

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo (oblique) is unlikely to return at any point in the postseason, according to manager Dave Roberts.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler is hitting only .140 over his last 57 at-bats heading into the team's NLDS battle against the Braves. Most remember Fowler's playoff heroics for the Cubs back in 2016 but this is a different player at a different stage in his career. Fowler did manage to post a .346 […]

Harrison Bader Not Fantasy Viable For First Round

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader plays excellent defense in center field but has failed to become a threat offensively this season. Bader enjoyed a fantastic month of August, slashing .313/.450/.531 with seven extra-base hits. But his production plummeted in September, hitting only .191 while striking out 39 times over 94 at-bats. Bader will see […]

Nick Markakis Hitting .292 Since Return

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is slashing .292/.340/.354 since his return to the lineup on September 13. The lack of power shouldn't concern fantasy owners, as Markakis never displayed much power to begin with. But the veteran brings a professional at-bat who can work a count. His fantasy value will be tied to his ability […]

It has been a breakthrough campaign for the phenom, smacking 22 doubles, 41 home runs and driving in 101 runs this season.

The 22-year-old has flashed his potential, at times, but has been inconsistent this season. Now he finds himself in the thick of October baseball and the Nationals hope his speed […]

Adam Eaton Hopes To Get Rolling In Playoffs

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton will try and get back on track offensively when the team opens up their NLDS series against the Dodgers. The plucky veteran slumped in September, posting a dismal .674 OPS and will face right-handed starter Walker Buehler in Game 1. 13 of Eaton's 15 home runs came against right-handed pitching […]

A.J. Pollock Brings Positive Lefty Splits Into Game 1

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock will have a favorable matchup against Nationals Game 1 projected starter, Patrick Corbin, on Thursday.
