Brendan Rodgers Goes Hitless On Saturday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Brendan Rodgers went a combined 0-for-6 in Saturday's doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

J.P. Crawford Hits Second Homer Of Season

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 1-for-3 with his second home run of the season Saturday night against the Texas Rangers. Crawford isn't a flashy fantasy option, as he only has one steal to go along with his two homers, but he makes contact and doesn't tank any single category. He's a decent middle-infield fill-in […]
