Rich Hill Gets Hit Hard In Sunday's Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill had a lackluster outing in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Mets. Hill allowed four runs on five hits (including a two-run home run) and a walk with five strikeouts in five innings. The 38-year-old has yet to replicate the success he has had in the past few […]

Trey Mancini Returns To Lineup Sunday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/first baseman Trey Mancini will bat seventh on Sunday against the Braves after being out of the starting lineup for three straight games with neck stiffness. The 26-year-old has posted a disappointing .219/.291/.361 slash line this season, so fantasy owners may consider sitting him in their lineups in his first start back.

Paul Goldschmidt Out Of Lineup Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (rest) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates. This is just a routine day off for Goldschmidt, who has been a solid fantasy option again this season after getting off to a slow start. He should be out of fantasy owners' lineups today.

Wilson Ramos Out Of Lineup Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees after starting the last six games. Ramos has been a solid fantasy option this season, posting a .291/.339/.444 slash line with nine home runs and 36 RBI in 62 games. He should be out of fantasy owners' lineups today.

Greg Bird Out Of Lineup Sunday

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird (rest) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rays. The 25-year-old has struggled lately, hitting just .193 in 24 games, so hopefully, a day off will help him clear his head. He should be out of fantasy owners' lineups today.

Justin Turner Out Of Lineup Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (rest) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets. The 33-year-old is hitting .333 for the season against lefties (the Dodgers are facing Jerry Blevins) but he has been on a cold streak lately, hitting just .185 in his last seven games. Turner should be out of […]

Xander Bogaerts Returns To Lineup Sunday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts will bat fifth against the Mariners on Sunday after missing the previous game due to an injured left index finger. Bogaerts sustained the injury in Friday's game and was forced to exit, but it appears that he is good to go for Sunday's tilt. The 25-year-old has posted a […]

Jean Segura Out Of Lineup Again With Forearm Infection

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura (infection) will miss a fourth straight game Sunday with a right forearm infection. The Mariners were hopeful that he could return today, but Andrew Romine will get the start instead. The 28-year-old has hit .334 this season, so hopefully, he can recover soon for fantasy owners. Segura should be out […]

Scott Schebler In Lineup, Jesse Winker Out Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler will bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Cubs following his activation from the bereavement list. With four active outfielders once again, Cincinnati will not be starting Jesse Winker. While both have been useful in fantasy this season, Schebler has a higher average (.281 vs .260) and better power (.473 […]

Kris Bryant Out Of Lineup Sunday With Sore Shoulder

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) is out of the lineup Sunday for the second day in a row with left shoulder soreness, per Chicago Sun Times' Gordon Wittenmyer. Bryant is day-to-day for now so the issue is being treated as a minor one. The 26-year-old should be out of fantasy owners' lineups today […]

Mark Trumbo Lines Grand Slam Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo had a big day at the plate on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a grand slam, a walk, and a strikeout. Trumbo got things going for the Orioles, lining a first-inning Julio Teheran fastball over the center-field wall. He has been heating up lately, batting .346 with four HR and […]

Blake Treinen Earns Multi-Inning Save Saturday

Oakland Athletics closer Blake Treinen had another terrific outing in Saturday's 7-6 win over the White Sox. Treinen entered the game up one in the eighth inning with a runner on second and one out.

Stephen Piscotty Has Big Game Saturday, Heating Up

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty stayed hot in Saturday's 7-6 win over the White Sox. Piscotty went 2-for-3 with a double, a two-run home run, and a walk. The 27-year-old has been heating up lately, hitting .348 with two HR and five RBI in his last seven games. He will look to keep things going […]

Zach Britton Earns First Save Of Season Saturday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Zach Britton earned his first save of the season in Saturday's 7-5 win against the Braves. Britton pitched a strong ninth inning, allowing no runs on no hits and a walk with a strikeout. The performance was an encouraging one after a disastrous outing a day before in which Britton allowed […]

Dylan Bundy Delivers Solid Bounce-Back Start Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy put forth a solid start on Saturday against the Braves after a rough start last Sunday against the Marlins. Bundy allowed two runs on seven hits (no home runs) and two walks with eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. This start illustrates once again how effective Bundy can be […]

Caleb Ferguson Earns First Career Win Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Caleb Ferguson earned his first career win in Saturday's 8-3 game against the Mets. Ferguson started the fourth inning after relieving Clayton Kershaw and proceeded to pitch four scoreless innings, allowing three hits and a walk with six strikeouts. The outing was by far his best of the season, although it […]

Justin Turner Continues To Disappoint Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was a dud in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Mets, going 0-for-5. The 33-year-old has battled wrist injuries throughout the season and now has a .236 batting average with just two home runs and 11 RBI in 121 plate appearances. Fantasy owners have come to expect solid production […]

Max Muncy Obliterates Solo Home Run Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/third baseman Max Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, and a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Mets. Muncy destroyed a second-inning Jacob deGrom fastball high into the upper deck of right field for his 14th HR of the season. Muncy has been a surprise fantasy […]

Matt Kemp Crushes Pinch Hit Grand Slam Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp made the most of his one at-bat Saturday, demolishing a Robert Gsellman fastball into the left-field seats for a grand slam in the eighth inning of an 8-3 win over the Mets. The 33-year-old has been a phenomenal fantasy asset this season, posting a .323/.359/.560 slash line with 13 […]

Clayton Kershaw Rusty In Return Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw did not have the best outing in his return from the disabled list on Saturday. The lefty needed 55 pitches to get through just three innings, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts. This was Kershaw's first Major League start in almost a […]

Trey Mancini Out Of Lineup Again Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/first baseman Trey Mancini (neck) will be out of the lineup for the third straight day with neck stiffness. Mancini pinch hit Friday and presumably will be available to do so again Saturday, but his neck is not yet 100 percent. The 26-year-old has a .219/.291/.361 slash line in 71 games this season. […]

The 25-year-old has had a disappointing sophomore season and now has a 5-8 record with […]

Darren O'Day Works Out Of Jam Friday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Darren O'Day had an excellent outing against the Braves on Friday. O'Day entered the game with one out in the bottom of the ninth and the winning run on third base after Zach Britton's fiasco of a performance. He was able to strand the runner and escape the inning and proceeded […]

Manny Machado Seals Orioles Win Friday

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado had a big impact in Friday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Braves, going 2-for-5 with a single, a two-run home run, two walks, and a stolen base.

Zach Britton Has Disastrous Outing Friday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Zach Britton could only manage one out in Friday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Braves.

Britton's only out was not really his doing, as Freddie Freeman was thrown out at […]
