Jose Ramirez Looks to Continue His Hot Streak on Monday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez will look to continue his recent hot streak on Monday as his team opens up a series against the Baltimore Orioles.

Brandon Guyer Gets the Start on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Brandon Guyer is starting in right field and batting ninth in Monday's game.

Paul DeJong Drives in Three Runs on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong drove in three runs on Sunday, finishing 2-for-5 with a home run and a single. DeJong will strikeout a ton, but he has the power to make up for it in bursts like he did on Sunday. He's hitting .260 with an .884 OPS and Sunday's home run was […]

Dexter Fowler Walks Four Times on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler drew four walks on Sunday, finishing the game 1-for-1 with and RBI and a run scored. Fowler was hitting cleanup on Sunday and despite a slow start that has seen his batting average down at .192, he's shown glimpses of his upside. Fantasy owners should be patient with Fowler […]

Byron Jones To Have His Fifth-Year Option Exercised

Dallas Cowboys defensive back Byron Jones is expected to have his fifth-year option for 2019 exercised by the team. Jones will make $6.17 million, a bargain for the Cowboys since he'll be paid as a safety instead of as a cornerback. Had he been paid as a cornerback, he'd have made $9.1 million instead. Jones […]

Jack Flaherty Likely to Take Adam Wainwright's Rotation Spot

St. Louis Cardinals rookie pitcher Jack Flaherty is likely to take the injured Adam Wainwright's spot in the St. Louis starting rotation.

John Brebbia Called Up Yet Again on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher John Brebbia was called up from Triple-A again on Sunday.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger threw a shutout on Saturday, allowing just two hits and two walks.

He's worth owning in all formats.

St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak was asked about starting pitcher Jack Flaherty and the possibility of the Cardinals moving to a six-man rotation.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Alex Reyes (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment in mid-May. Reyes is recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Dexter Fowler Not in Friday's Starting Lineup

Luke Weaver Torched for Six Runs on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver was torched by the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, allowing six runs on nine hits and a walk in just four innings. Coming into the game, Weaver had only given up four runs total in 17 1/3 innings of work, so Thursday was by far his worst start of […]

Cleveland Indians first baseman/designated hitter Mike Napoli (knee) is done for the year after suffering a torn right ACL and meniscus.

Week 3 saw some surprising disappointments and some surprising great performances. It's already been a season of rising and falling, and we're still more than a week away from May.

Mike Napoli Placed on the Disabled List

Cleveland Indians first baseman/designated hitter Mike Napoli will be placed on the Triple-A disabled list due to a knee injury. There has been shockingly little information about Napoli's injury, but manager Terry Francona said it seemed like a significant one. Napoli should not be counted on anytime soon. He was with Cleveland in spring training […]

Greg Allen Heads Back Down to Triple-A

Cleveland Indians outfielder Greg Allen was optioned back to Triple-A Columbus after Wednesday's game. Allen was with the team as the 26th player while they played their series against the Minnesota Twins in Puerto Rico.
