Chicago White Sox shortstop Elvis Andrus hit a grand slam Saturday night, pitching in in a 13-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Andrus has slashed .276/.311/.414 in 14 games and 58 at-bats since joining the club. He went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's game. Andrus now has a seven-game hitting streak, and he's […]

Javier Baez Exits Saturday's Game Early

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez exited Saturday's game against the Kansas Royals with an apparent injury. He had a rough night physically; Baez was slid into and tweaked something chasing a shallow fly ball in the first inning. The 29-year-old went 2-for-3 before leaving Saturday's contest. He is considered day-to-day; his next chance to return […]

Gavin Lux Receives Cortisone Shot

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux (back) received a cortisone shot Saturday and will be sidelined for the next few days. He has missed the last two contests due to a back issue and is set to miss a few more games. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day, but the Dodgers haven't placed him on […]

Wander Franco Starting Rehab Assignment Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (wrist, hand) will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday with Triple-A Durham. The Rays plan is for Franco to play a week's worth of games with Durham, but things could change depending on how he performs. If they stick to that, he should return for an important series against […]

Niko Goodrum Released By The Astros

Former Houston Astros infielder Niko Goodrum has been released. The 30-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week and went unclaimed on waivers. The former Detroit Tiger inked a one-year deal worth $2.1 million with Houston back in March but didn't make an impact with his new club. He logged just 43 at-bats and put […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 21

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Saturdays are still for baseball all-day if you ask me, but I suppose if you are a big college football fan then you are probably pretty pumped about kick-off weekend, too. My PSU Nittany Lions already won on Thursday night, so I have no interest in college football today, but I always have an interest […]

Trea Turner Sitting For First Time This Season

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres, marking the first time this season that Turner won't start for the Dodgers. It is a bit surprising that they'd sit the star shortstop against a division rival, but the Dodgers have had the top seed […]

Spencer Steer To Play Regularly

Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Spencer Steer will be in the lineup "as much as possible," according to manager David Bell. Steer, the team's No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline, came over from the Minnesota Twins at the trade deadline in the deal that sent right-hander Tyler Mahle to Minnesota. He's making his major league debut […]

Wander Franco Close To Resuming Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (wrist, hand) said his hand feels better and that he is very close to resuming a minor league rehab assignment. However, he has no set target date to get back to Triple-A Durham or to rejoin the Rays. Franco will take batting practice on Friday in more of a […]

Anthony Volpe Promoted To Triple-A

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is making the move up to the Triple-A level. The Yankees top prospect struggled heavily during the beginning of the season. Luckily, he has bounced back with 18 home runs and 44 stolen bases while in Double-A. Oswaldo Peraza has been recalled to the big league club, so the […]

Francisco Lindor Collects Two Hits, Steals A Bag Thursday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor might be breaking out of his slump, as he went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI, and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Things weren't going right for the flashy infielder from August 23 to the 28 when he went a […]

Oswald Peraza Being Promoted By Yankees

The New York Yankees are promoting shortstop prospect Oswald Peraza from the minor leagues with rosters expanding on Thursday. Per MLB Pipeline, Peraza is the team's No. 3 prospect in their system.

Spencer Steer Headed To The Big Leagues

The Cincinnati Reds will recall shortstop prospect Spencer Steer when rosters expand on Thursday, according to sources. Steer was acquired from the Minnesota Twins in the deadline deal that sent right-hander Tyler Mahle to the Twins last month. He has 27 hits (three homers and seven doubles) in 23 games since joining Triple-A Louisville. The […]

J.P. Crawford Returns On Thursday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (pectoral) is back at shortstop and is hitting sixth on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Crawford will return after missing the last three games with a pectoral injury. Adam Frazier will move back to the keystone for the series finale against Detroit. Crawford is happy to […]
