Wilmer Flores Stays Hot With A Double

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has had quite a few days. First, he broke the Mets franchise record for walk-off hits when he beat the Philadelphia Phillies with a home run on Monday. Since then, Flores has stayed hot with two doubles in each of his last two games. While this is apt to […]

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado had a big day at the plate in Tuesday's 6-5 win against the Yankees, going 3-for-4 with a single, two home runs, a walk, and three RBI. Machado hit a solo shot in the fifth innings off of Masahiro Tanaka and then a two-run bomb off of Chad Green in […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Leaves Early Tuesday

New York Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (elbow) left the game early after aggravating his hyperextended left elbow. However, it's not a serious injury and manager Mickey Callaway said Cabrera should be fine for Wednesday.

Jose Iglesias Suffers Hand Contusion

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias (hand) suffered a left hand contusion when he was hit by a pitch Tuesday and left the game early, according to the team. It sounds like a day-to-day situation, so Iglesias shouldn't be expected to miss much time, if any. He's been a pleasant surprise this year with his .272 […]

Marwin Gonzalez Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez (elbow, wrist) is day-to-day with a bruised left wrist and left elbow, according to the team. Gonzalez may miss a day or two, but this doesn't sound like a serious injury. He's been filling in at shortstop mostly with Carlos Correa injured. Last year was a […]

Troy Tulowitzki Ramping Up Activities

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (heel) is ramping up his activities after resting last week. Tulo is hoping to return at some point this year, but there remains no timetable and fantasy owners shouldn't hold their breath for the oft-injured former Rockies star. He had heel surgery in early April, and it wouldn't be […]

Gleyber Torres Hits Off Tee Tuesday

New York Yankees infield prospect Gleyber Torres (hip) hit off a tee and did some work in the weight room on Tuesday. Head athletic trainer Steve Donohue will travel with Torres to the All-Star game next week so he can continue his rehab. Torres has been a beast at the plate for the Yankees in […]

Tyler Saladino Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting the day off Monday. Saladino will bat fifth against Marlins' rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez. Saladino is in a favorable part of the batting order and facing a struggling rookie pitcher, but he does not have much upside in fantasy leagues […]

Alex Bregman Slashing .317/.410/.606 Against Left-Handers

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman will go up against A's expected starter, left-hander Sean Manaea, on Tuesday night in Houston. Bregman has been on fire for weeks now and has been doing serious damage against lefties this season. In 104 at-bats against southpaw's, Bregman is slashing .317/.410/.606 with six home runs, 10 doubles, 18 runs […]

Brock Holt Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Brock Holt is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting two days off. He'll bat sixth and play second base against righty Yovani Gallardo.

Jose Peraza Sitting on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Peraza is out of the lineup on Tuesday for a routine day of rest. He's replaced by Alex Blandino who is batting eighth. Peraza will likely be in the lineup for the Reds next game and Blandino isn't a recommended starting on Tuesday.

Clint Frazier Sitting On Tuesday Against Orioles

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier will sit against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. It's worth noting that he struck out five times in Monday's doubleheader. Aaron Hicks will take his place, while Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge round out the rest of the outfield. Giancarlo Stanton — who has been swinging a hot bat […]

Jurickson Profar Sitting, Ronald Guzman Starting Tuesday

Texas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar will receive a day off on Tuesday. His absence will allow first baseman Ronald Guzman to return to the lineup. Despite being a left-handed hitter Guzman has actually been better this season when facing left-handed pitchers. Guzman has not been terrible when facing right-handed pitchers, with a .167 ISO […]

Phillies Remain Heavily Interested in Manny Machado

The Philadelphia Phillies remain heavily interested in Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado, with him being reportedly their top target at the trade deadline. Like many other teams, the Phillies would love to add the All-Star shortstop, however, Philadelphia may actually have the farm system to get it done. Philadelphia has proven to be a solid […]

Niko Goodrum Contributes Two Hits, Three RBI

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum did his part as the Tigers rallied back multiple times against the Rays before eventually falling in extras. The rookie middle-infielder had two doubles and three RBI on the night, raising his season average to .253 and his RBI total to 30. Goodrum has been a nice surprise after […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 15

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Wilmer Flores Picks Up Yet Another Walk-Off Hit

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has a knack for getting the big hit in walk-off victories, and on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies he did it again to become the franchise’s all-time leader in base knocks of that variety. Mired in a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the 10th inning, Flores drilled a […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Socks 16th Homer Of 2018

The New York Mets didn’t provide a ton of offense (as usual) in a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, but second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera gave them all he had. Cabrera was the only Met with multiple hits, finishing 2-for-4 with a home run and a double. The long ball was Cabrera’s 16th […]

Carlos Correa "Unlikely" To Return Before All-Star Break

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) will not play this series and is unlikely to return before the All-Star break. Manager A.J. Hinch said it's looking "more and more unlikely" that he returns before the break, but that is the way things were moving anyways. Correa started taking ground balls on Monday, but is still […]

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer and outfielder Austin Meadows are not in the starting lineup for Monday. Max Moroff will start at short and bat eighth.

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins.

The Brewers decided to give […]

Brock Holt Sitting Again on Monday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Brock Holt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Eduardo Nunez will play second base and bat seventh against lefty Mike Minor. Holt and Nunez continue to battle for playing time, which makes neither player an appealing option in most fantasy leagues. Holt has […]
