Javier Baez Hits Game-Winning Home Run

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez hit a game-winning three-run home run on Sunday versus the Mets. Baez was struggling mightily entering the contest, but finished 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI. Despite being in a funk of late, Baez remains one of the better offensive options in fantasy.

Trevor Story Hopeful To Return When First Eligible

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is "encouraged" by the progress of his thumb and aims to return from the 10-day IL when first eligible. He was placed on the shelf on June 20 after jamming his thumb on a slide into second base and was initially expected to miss several weeks. Players are known to […]

Jonathan Villar Plates Three Saturday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar had a big game offensively in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Mariners, going 2-for-4 with a single, a three-run home run, a walk, a strikeout, a stolen base, and a caught stealing. The production was nice to see, as Villar has had a very poor month, hitting just .197 […]

Houston Astros shortstop Alex Bregman will try and snap out of a 4-for-26 slump when the team takes on the Yankees Saturday night in New York. Injuries have thrust the slugging infielder into the leadoff spot over the past week and the results have not been promising. Bregman is hitting .172 from the leadoff spot […]

X-Rays Negative On Nick Ahmed

X-rays came back negative on Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (hand) after he left the game early after taking a pitch off his left hand on Thursday. Ahmed has good grip strength and wants to play on Friday, but that decision will ultimately come down to manager Torey Lovullo. Ahmed is batting .268/.320/.418 with five […]

Royals Unlikely To Trade Whit Merrifield This Summer

The Kansas City Royals are unlikely to trade super utilityman Whit Merrifield this summer. “I’m still the same on that,” general manager Dayton Moore told MLB.com on Thursday. “It’s our job to do our due diligence with any proposal and listen. But we’re motivated to keeping our good players here.” KC signed him to a […]

Trevor Story Doesn't Need Surgery

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (thumb) landed on the injured list on Thursday with a sprained right thumb, but extensive tests showed no structural damage and he's expected to avoid surgery. However, this is an injury that could still cause him to miss at least two weeks. It's much better than when Story suffered torn […]

Andrelton Simmons Has Setback On Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) was sent back to Anaheim after being seen limping after playing seven innings for Rookie-level Orem. Simmons played four innings Tuesday and seven Wednesday but will return to Anaheim for further treatment as a precautionary measure.

Nick Ahmed Injured Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (hand) left the game early on Thursday with a left hand contusion. Ahmed was hitless in two plate appearances before leaving and is hitting .268/.320/.418 with five home runs, 36 runs, 30 RBI and four steals in 292 plate appearances on the season. It doesn't sound like a very serious […]

Carlos Correa, Aledmys Diaz Not Expected Back Before Break

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said he doesn't think either shortstop Carlos Correa (rib) or infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) will "factor into the major league team" before the All-Star break. At least the team got second baseman Jose Altuve back from the injured list on Wednesday. Alex Bregman has mainly been holding down the fort […]

Adalberto Mondesi Placed On Injured List

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Mondesi was removed from Tuesday's game after experiencing right groin tightness. Nicky Lopez is expected to get the bulk of the starts at shortstop while he is away. The 24-year-old rookie got off to a fast start when he was […]

Trevor Story To Injured List

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hand sprain. The Rockies called up infielder Brendan Rodgers to take his roster spot. Story is obviously a stash in all formats while on the IL. Rodgers will be taking his second MLB stint this year after he was […]

Jose Peraza Out Thursday

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Peraza is not in the team's lineup for Thursday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Jose Iglesias takes over at short batting seventh. The Reds are facing Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson in his third start of the season after spending all of 2018 recovering from a shoulder injury. Nelson has only […]

Trevor Story Out, Ian Desmond Batting Second

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is not in the team's lineup Thursday after suffering a thumb injury Wednesday. He is still day-to-day as he is set to undergo an MRI. Story's shortstop position will be taken by Pat Valaika batting eighth, while his usual second spot in the order goes to outfielder Ian Desmond for […]
