Dereck Rodriguez Throws Well On Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Dereck Rodriguez allowed seven hits, two runs and struck out four batters over 6 2/3 innings Thursday versus the Marlins.

Yoan Moncada Knocks One Out Of The Park Tuesday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada led off Tuesday’s game with a home run. Moncada finished 1-for-4 and struck out twice. Moncada had been in a funk coming into Tuesday’s contest, as he had just 22 hits over his past 110 at-bats. Moncada will have his ups and downs in his first full year, […]

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yolmer Sanchez hit the second of back-to-back home runs to start off Tuesday’s contest versus the Indians. Sanchez finished the game 1-for-3 with a walk and is now hitting .271 with four home runs and 28 RBI. Sanchez is worth consideration in AL-only leagues.
