Domingo German Gets Crushed Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German fell apart on Sunday giving up six runs on nine hits through three innings against the Rays raising his season ERA to 5.40. It was a very disappointing start for German who had been killing it recently with back to back quality starts and 19 strikeouts in his […]

Wil Myers Sits Sunday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. Myers has recently come off of the disabled list that has sidelined him for most of the season and the Padres are just giving him some extra rest. He should be back Monday night against Texas.

Randal Grichuk Out Sunday

Toronto Bluejays outfielder Randal Grichuk is out of the lineup Sunday. Grichuk's season numbers look terrible at the moment, but he has actually been quite effective in the last month batting .281 with a .984 OPS with six home runs. Grichuk remains a low tier fantasy option, but with how hot his bat is, he […]

Bryan Shaw To The DL

Colorado Rockies reliever Bryan Shaw was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a right calf strain. Shaw had been having a bad season for far with a 7.57 ERA and 1.96 WHIP but was a good source of holds with 11 on the year. Yency Almonte has been recalled in his place.

6 years ago

Jesus Aguilar Sitting Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. It's a shame, because Aguilar has been red hot this week with a .429 average, 1.530 OPS and four home runs. With Eric Thames coming off the disabled list, it makes days off more frequent for Aguilar, but […]

6 years ago

Carlos Gonzalez Out Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. CarGo has been showing signs of life lately with a .353 average and .974 OPS over the last month. If Gonzalez has shown us anything over his career, it's that he can be incredibly streaky. However, while his bat […]

Evan Gattis Sitting Sunday

Houston Astros catcher Evan Gattis is getting the day off Sunday. It is just a routine day of rest for the veteran catcher, who has been on fire lately batting .295 with an OPS of .963 and 17 RBI over the past two weeks. The season got off to a rough start for Gattis but […]

6 years ago

Elvis Andrus Out Sunday

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus is out of the lineup on Sunday. Andrus was recently activated off the disabled list and this is his first day off since. Jurickson Profar gets the start at shortstop in his absence.

6 years ago

Whit Merrifield Gets Day Off Sunday

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. Merrifield has had a tough week at the plate batting just .095 over the last seven days with a .269 OPS. After going 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Saturday, the Royals want to give him a day off […]

6 years ago

Tommy Pham Sick On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham is out of the lineup Sunday with the flu. The illness has apparently been affecting him over the weekend and they are giving him some rest Sunday to get better. Harrison Bader is starting in center field in his place.

6 years ago

Chris Taylor Misses Third Straight Game

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Chris Taylor continues to be out of the Dodgers lineup Sunday following a hamstring injury. This is the third start in a row that Taylor has missed, but he did hit a pinch hit double Saturday, so it doesn't look too serious. Enrique Hernandez is taking over at shortstop for […]

6 years ago

Lorenzo Cain Out Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain is absent from the lineup Sunday. Cain has been dealing with a few injuries lately such as a hamstring injury on Thursday and groin tightness on Saturday and with the Brewers having Monday off, they are going to give Cain some extended rest. He is considered day-to-day for now. Christian […]

6 years ago

Salvador Perez Sitting Sunday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. It's just a day of rest for the veteran and he will be back on Monday against the Angels. Drew Butera is catching in his place.

Sam Dyson Named Closer

San Francisco Giants reliever Sam Dyson was named the closer by Bruce Bochy after Tuesday's win against the Marlins. Will Smith initially started the ninth inning but walked a batter and Dyson was called on to close out the game. Dyson is a must-add while he has the job, but it wouldn't be surprising if […]

6 years ago

Will Smith Could Be In The Mix For Saves

San Francisco Giants reliever Will Smith came in to Tuesday's game against the Marlins in the eighth inning and then came out to start the ninth before allowing a walk and being pulled for Sam Dyson, who finished out the game and got the save. Smith has been killing it in 2018 so far with […]

6 years ago

Mark Melancon Pitches In The Seventh Inning Tuesday

San Francisco Giants reliever Mark Melancon pitched a scoreless seventh inning Tuesday against the Marlins. With closer Hunter Strickland landing on the disabled list, Melancon was thought to be the front-runner for the available closer roll in San Francisco, but he looks less likely now that he was used so early in the game. Melancon could […]

6 years ago

Sam Dyson Records Save On Tuesday

San Francisco Giants reliever Sam Dyson recorded his second save of the season on Tuesday against the Marlins. With Hunter Strickland recently hurting himself, the Giants bullpen looks to be wide open between Dyson, Mark Melancon and Will Smith for saves. Dyson brings a 2.45 ERA and 0.97 WHIP to the equation and has served […]

6 years ago

Dereck Rodriguez Mediocre In Win Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starter Dereck Rodriguez gave up three runs on seven hits through five innings Tuesday against the Marlins. Though seven hits in five innings is not ideal, the fact that he struck out six and didn't walk a batter is encouraging. Rodriquez doesn't have a ton of upside, but he does have a […]

6 years ago

Pedro Baez To The DL With Biceps Tendinitis

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Pedro Baez was placed on the disabled list Friday with right biceps tendinitis. Baez was sporting a 3.23 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings this season. The Dodgers recalled Kyle Farmer in the move.

6 years ago

Matt Adams Leaves Game After HBP

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams left Friday's game against Toronto after being hit on the hand with a pitch in the second inning. As of now, its too early to know the extent of the injury, but more news should be coming shortly. As for now, Mark Reynolds took over at first base and […]

6 years ago

Rich Hill To Start Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill is set to come off the disabled list and start Tuesday at the Cubs. Hill has been sidelined since May 20th with a blister, which plagued him all last season as well. Still, he struck out 10 batters in his last rehab start and the blister issue seems […]

6 years ago

Miguel Cabrera Undergoes Successful Surgery

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera underwent successful surgery to repair his ruptured bicep tendon and is headed back to Detroit for his rehabilitation. Cabrera is out for the season but the Tigers are confident that he will be ready to go by 2019 spring training. That being said, as Cabrera's age increases and his […]

6 years ago

Andrew Benintendi Resting Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is out of the lineup for Friday night's game against the Mariners. It is just a routine day of rest for him and nothing to worry about. Benintendi has been red hot in the last month batting .343 with a 1.140 OPS, nine home runs and four steals and […]

6 years ago

Alen Hanson Batting Second On Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Alen Hanson is in the lineup batting second for Friday's game against the Dodgers. With the Giants starting to get healthy again, Hanson's playing time has diminished but he has still produced when given the opportunity. Hanson is batting .338 with a 1.067 OPS on the year with some speed […]

6 years ago

Buster Posey Takes Friday Off

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers. It is just a routine day of rest for the veteran and though he has been slumping over the past week or so, Posey is still a high end catching option and remains a must start in […]

6 years ago

Andrew McCutchen Stays Hot Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-5 with another home run and a double in Wednesday's loss to the Marlins. McCutchen got off to a rough start to the season but has been absolutely on fire the past two weeks, batting .333 with an 1.037 OPS. During that span, he also has four homers, […]

7 years ago

Andrew Suarez Underwhelming Again Wednesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Andrew Suarez allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings Wednesday night against the Marlins. Suarez has now only reached the sixth inning three times the entire season. He has a high ERA and a pretty below-average strikeout rate, so you can leave him on the […]

7 years ago

Madison Bumgarner Solid In 2018 Debut

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner made his 2018 debut Tuesday night against the Diamondbacks and went six innings, allowing two runs on eight hits while striking out three on 82 pitches. This was a very encouraging start from the ace, who is fresh off of the 60-day disabled list. Though the strikeout total […]

7 years ago

Carlos Martinez Officially Starting Tuesday

St. Louis starter Carlos Martinez will officially start Tuesday's game against Miami. Martinez had a 1.62 ERA before landing on the disabled list and looks to continue his success in a great matchup against Miami. Yadier Molina will also be off the disabled list by then to catch for Martinez. It's always a little risky […]

7 years ago

Cody Bellinger Benched Again Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger is sitting again on Sunday against the Rockies. Bellinger sat on Friday night against the lefty Tyler Anderson, but this time is sitting against the right handed Chad Bettis which is a reason for concern. He is batting .098 over the last two weeks and just .149 over […]
