Jurickson Profar Hits Game-Winning Triple Against Tigers

Texas Rangers shortstop Jurickson Profar hit third in the order and responded with a seventh-inning triple, driving in a run that proved to be the game-winner against the Detroit Tigers.

Week 6 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

As we move into May, many of the season’s early performers have been snapped up from the waiver wire. That necessitates digging a bit deeper, especially in the wake of a season-ending injury to Corey Seager. Eduardo Escobar was a fixture on this list through the first five weeks and has seen his ownership shoot […]

Jurickson Profar (SS/OF, TEX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Most owners have that experience of drafting a minor leaguer, stashing that player, and then ultimately be disappointed with the production when they do emerge. Jurickson Profar is that player for many teams. So before jumping into the analysis, make sure not to […]

Jordy Mercer Smacks First Homer of 2018

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer went 3-for-4 with his first home run of the year in a win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

Miguel Rojas Sitting Out On Sunday

Aledmys Diaz Carted Off The Field With Ankle Injury

Aledmys Diaz turned his ankle while beating out an infield hit in Sunday's game and went down in agony. He was then carted off the field and then left in a wheelchair. This seems to be a serious ankle injury and a DL stint is likely. Though a timetable is unknown at this point, the […]

Jurickson Profar Heating Up at the Plate Despite Going Hitless Against Red Sox

Texas Rangers shortstop Jurickson Profar has been coming on a little stronger lately with his bat, despite an 0-4 performance against Rick Porcello and the Boston Red Sox. The game brought his season line to .233/.337/.369, which of course is nothing spectacular. But Profar has quietly been taking better and longer at-bats, making better contact, […]
