The veteran shortstop is batting .288 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI in 61 Astros contests. He is rostered by 93 percent of teams in Yahoo!, and […]

Xander Bogaerts Hits 12th Homer Sunday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts provided one of very few positive moments for Boston Sunday, hitting his 12th homer off Blue Jays starter Robbie Ray in an 18-4 loss. The home run was Bogaerts' only hit in three at-bats, and he also walked. After missing two consecutive games, this performance will surely reassure fantasy […]

J.P. Crawford Has Three More Hits Sunday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford had yet another strong game from the leadoff spot Sunday, going 3-for-5 with three singles and an RBI in a victory over Cleveland. Lewis has extended his hot streak for quite some time now, with a .383/.456/.574 triple-slash line in June. He doesn't contribute too much in power or speed […]

Javier Baez Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) was held out of Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals. The 28-year-old is still dealing with thumb soreness, an ailment that caused him to miss some games earlier in the week. While there isn't anything to suggest that the veteran will need a trip to the injured list, at least […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

We're barreling toward the halfway point of the 2021 season, and with the onslaught of injuries showing no signs of stopping, diligence on the waiver wire is as crucial as ever. Most of the players who will be written up in this feature won't be the next breakout star. Some may only be useful for […]

Trea Turner Goes Hitless In Win Sunday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner went 0-for-4 with a walk in a 5-0 win over the Giants on Sunday afternoon. It was his second straight game in which he was held without a hit, as he's been mired in a small slump over his last seven games, where he is slashing .214/.290/.214 with two RBI […]

Taylor Walls Has Three Hits, Drives In Two In Win

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls went 3-for-4 with a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in a 7-1 win over the Orioles on Sunday. After a slow start to his major league career, Walls has begun to heat up at the plate in the month of June, slashing .286/.390/.429 with one home […]

Javier Baez Scratched On Sunday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) has been scratched from Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He missed a few games earlier in the week due to soreness in his thumb. He struggled heavily over the last two games, so the Cubs will give Baez a day off here. Hopefully this isn't something that […]

Jose Devers Exits Early Versus Braves

Miami Marlins shortstop Jose Devers (shoulder) was unable to get through Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Braves. He is dealing with shoulder discomfort and this has been a day-to-day issue, according to manager Don Mattingly. It wouldn't be shocking to see the organization give the 21-year-old some extra rest. He has been average with the […]

Triston McKenzie Optioned, Ernie Clement Recalled

Cleveland Indians pitcher Triston McKenzie has been optioned to the minors following a rough outing against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. He struggled heavily to find the strike zone and carries a 6.38 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 42 1/3 innings this season. The Indians will send him to the minors, so he can work […]

Angels Claim Jack Mayfield Off Waivers

Los Angeles Angels have decided to give Jack Mayfield another chance after designating him for assignment earlier in the season. On Sunday, they claimed Mayfield off waivers from the Seattle Mariners. He has struggled heavily during his time at the major league level. It's unlikely that he has much of a role on the Angels […]

Dansby Swanson Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is not in the starting lineup on Sunday afternoon. This is nothing more than a day off for Swanson, who has appeared in all 62 of the team's games this season. So far this season, Swanson is slashing .235/.287/.430 with 10 home runs, two steals, 27 RBI and 27 runs […]

Xander Bogaerts Returns To Boston's Lineup Sunday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (knee) is back in the lineup Sunday after missing two games with a sore knee that he sustained attempting to corral a ground ball on Thursday. He's back in his customary cleanup spot. Fantasy managers will be relieved that his absence was brief, as Bogaerts has been a first-round […]

Xander Bogaerts Returns To Lineup For Sunday's Game

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (knee) is back in the starting lineup and batting fourth against the Blue Jays following a two-day absence. Bogaerts was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to knee soreness, and was then held out of Saturday's game while still dealing with the injury. Managers will be happy to […]

Jorge Polanco Homers, Drives In Three Saturday

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's win over the Houston Astros. Polanco hit a towering, 425-foot blast that left his bat at 105.6 MPH. He rounded out his day with a pair of singles, improving his June batting average to .341 along with four […]

Tim Anderson Not In Lineup Sunday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is not in the starting lineup on Sunday afternoon. It appears to just be a day off for Anderson, who has played in 10 straight games and 13 of the team's last 14 games, and is slashing .299/.341/.431 on the year. With Anderson out, Danny Mendick will get the […]

Orelvis Martinez Flexing Muscles At Low-A

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop prospect Orelvis Martinez went 3-for-5 with two doubles on Saturday. The 19-year-old infielder has seen 17 of his 37 hits go for extra bases during his first taste of full-season ball. Formerly a top international signee, Martinez has always flashed above-average power for his age and slugged seven home runs in […]

Oneil Cruz Heating Up At Double-A

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz went 3-for-3 with a double and a home run on Saturday at Double-A. The homer was his eighth of the season in 30 games. With a 55% ground-ball rate, Cruz has much more power to tap into if he can make some adjustments to his swing. He's also flashed some […]

Bo Bichette Slugs Moonshot Homer In Win

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette launched a mammoth 468-foot home run off Nick Pivetta on Saturday as his club went on to defeat the Red Sox 7-2. His no-doubter cleared the Big Monster at Fenway as part of a three-homer inning for the Jays, which included him going back-to-back with Marcus Semien. Bichette finished […]

Francisco Lindor Sets Tone Early In Mets Victory

Ronald Torreyes Collects Two Hits Versus Former Team

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Ronald Torreyes went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Yankees on Saturday. Torreyes, who played for New York from 2016-18, is heating up at the plate playing in the absence of another former Yankee, Didi Gregorius (wrist). The utilityman is now batting .311 on the season and has six hits in his […]

Carlos Correa Not In Lineup Saturday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is not in the starting lineup on Saturday afternoon. It appears to just be a day off for Correa, who has appeared in 17 of the team's last 18 games. He's been having a bounce-back performance at the plate this season, slashing .281/.370/.485 with 11 homers, 34 RBI and 42 […]
