Chris Iannetta Hits Bomb For 5th Homer

Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta isn't having a spectacular season by any measurement, but at least he made his way on to a leaderboard. Iannetta took a 2-2 pitch to one of the furthest places the Rockies have ever seen. Iannetta's tape measure home run smacked off the bricks at the very back of the […]

Charlie Blackmon Feeling Better

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon told reporters Saturday that he's gaining confidence in his injured calf and is already feeling good while hitting and throwing. Blackmon injured the calf on May 24, but the team will likely take their time in getting the star outfielder back out there since they're on a winning streak without […]

Wade Davis Throws Bullpen Without Issue

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis threw a bullpen on Friday and felt no ill effects from the work on Saturday, a big step in his recovery from the oblique injury that he suffered on May 14. There's still no announced timetable for Davis, and it's not clear whether he'll need a minor-league rehab assignment, but […]

Scott Oberg Records Second Save

Colorado Rockies temporary closer Scott Oberg looked like he was going to have the day off on Saturday after the Rockies took a four-run lead into the ninth inning, but a rocky outing for Carlos Estevez meant Oberg had to come in to nail down the last out with the tying run at the plate. […]

David Dahl Has Another Multi-Hit Game

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl popped three hits on Saturday against Toronto, giving him his third multi-hit game in the last four contests. Dahl was the only member of the team to record multiple hits on a day when Toronto's pitching did pretty well overall, and the recent run has raised Dahl's overall batting average […]

Raimel Tapia Hits Little League Home Run

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia extended his hitting streak on Saturday by knocking a hard grounder through to right-center field. What should have been a single with a chance of becoming a double due to Tapia's speed instead turned into a Little League home run when center fielder Jonathan Davis allowed it to scoot under […]

Jon Gray Strong Against Toronto

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray shut out the Blue Jays for 6 2/3 innings on Saturday as the Rockies won their seventh straight game. Gray only allowed two hits in the match and struck out seven as he posted his third quality start in his last five outings. In fantasy, Gray's up-and-down nature has […]

Brian Flynn Logs More Work Than Starter

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brian Flynn was tasked with dragging the team through the game with the Rangers after starting pitcher Homer Bailey left in the fourth inning, and he did a better job. While Bailey only faced 19 hitters, Flynn took on 20 and only allowed one earned run in the four completed […]

Adalberto Mondesi Continues SB Dominance

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi is a stolen base machine. Sensing that his league lead had been cut to five by Tim Anderson of the White Sox, Mondesi got his wheels spinning and swiped his 21st bag of the season on Saturday. Mondesi is on pace to top 60 steals this season, and that's […]

Homer Bailey Loses Again

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey was hit hard once again as he was chased in the fourth inning of Saturday's matchup in Texas. Bailey cruised through the first three innings of the start before unraveling in the fourth inning, in an early repeat of yesterday's performance by teammate Danny Duffy. Bailey also succumbed […]

Martin Maldonado Exits With Forearm Tightness

Kansas City Royals catcher Martin Maldonado left Saturday's game with the Rangers in the bottom of the sixth inning due to tightness in his right forearm. No announcement was made after the game, so he should be considered day-to-day for now. Maldonado is in his first season with the Royals after signing a one-year deal […]

Danny Duffy Blown Up In Sixth Inning

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was rolling along until the sixth inning on Friday, and then it all fell apart. Duffy had only allowed two hits through five innings, but he slowly came undone in the sixth when he led the inning off with a walk. Following a strikeout, Duffy allowed three straight […]

German Marquez Beats Blue Jays

Colorado Rockies ace German Marquez turned in a solid bid against the Blue Jays on Friday as his offense turned the game into a blowout. Marquez posted a quality start by only allowing two earned runs over seven innings, striking out seven along the way. Marquez did walk three hitters, but that's his first multi-walk […]

Nolan Arenado Pushes Hitting Streak To 11 Games

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado hasn't been as flashy a piece of the infield as new superstar Trevor Story, but he's still grinding away at third, being one of the most valuable fantasy assets in the game. Overshadowed by Story's seven-RBI game, Arenado quietly went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and three RBI, […]

Raimel Tapia Scores Four Runs In Rout

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia has been doing a bang-up job filling in for the injured Charlie Blackmon. Tapia smacked a pair of hits on Friday against the Blue Jays to push his hitting streak to 10 games, and he came around to score four of the team's 13 runs in the game, thanks to […]

Ian Kennedy Records Save After Rough Patch

With some relief, Kansas City Royals closer Ian Kennedy was able to cash in the save on Thursday against Texas. At the start of the season, it looked like the Royals had solved the starter-to-power-reliever transition once again by converting homer-prone Kennedy into a back-end reliever. Unfortunately, things have fallen apart recently. Since May 5, […]

Jake Diekman Nails Down Seventh Hold

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Jake Diekman has quietly been dominating hitters for the last month, but he finally got tagged for a loss on May 27. Fortunately, Diekman jumped right back on the horse and was able to lock down his seventh hold of the season on Thursday by throwing a scoreless inning against […]

Adalberto Mondesi Goes 3-For-3 With HR

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi continued to tear his way through American League pitching as he went 3-for-3 with a golf shot home run against the Rangers on Thursday. After some initial debate about whether he could survive at the big leagues due to his swing-happy ways, Mondesi has proven that he was able […]

Jakob Junis Goes Six Innings Against Rangers

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis picked up the win on Thursday by throwing six good innings against Texas. Junis struck out seven and allowed two earned runs over the six frames, both on solo home runs. The win gives Junis four on the season, and he's starting to settle into a groove as […]

Trevor Story Notches Four-Hit Day

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is going to be sad to see the Diamondbacks leave town. Following a three-hit day on Wednesday, Story laced four hits in six at-bats in Thursday's extra-inning affair. Though he was one of the few players to miss out on knocking any runs in, he did score three of his […]

Ryan McMahon Has Huge Game

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon got his third start in four days on Thursday, and he took full advantage of this one. McMahon was one of the stars of the team's offensive juggernaut, recording three of Colorado's 18 hits in the game, including a home run and a double. The two-run home run was […]

Daniel Murphy Walks Off The Diamondbacks

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy has slowly come around from his early-season thumb injury, and he's turned it on as of late, culminating in a game-winning single in the bottom of the 10th inning on Thursday. Murphy racked up three hits and three RBI in Thursday's barn-burner against the Diamondbacks, and he's now hitting […]

Ian Desmond Nails Pinch-Hit Home Run

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond was initially out of the lineup on Thursday, but when he got the call with the team down by two in the eighth inning, Desmond answered the bell. With a full count and the bases empty, Desmond drilled a 95 MPH fastball out to right-center. It extends Desmond's miniature hitting […]

Kyle Freeland Chased Early

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland lasted just three innings against the Diamondbacks on Thursday after allowing five earned runs. Freeland ended up not figuring in the decision in the slug fest that went to extra innings, but the no-decision doesn't help cover up the horrendous line. Freeland hasn't won a game in over a […]

Terrance Gore Snags A Steal

Kansas City Royals pinch runner Terrance Gore finally got back on the horse by acting as part of a double steal in the eighth inning of Wednesday's ballgame against the White Sox. Gore was the front end of a double steal with fellow lightning-quick teammate Billy Hamilton that allowed the two to then score and […]

Billy Hamilton Records Two Hits

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton smacked a pair of singles on Wednesday against the White Sox, giving him his first multi-hit game in nearly three weeks. The speedster's limit has always been his inability to regularly reach first base, and that trend is continuing this season. Hamilton's hitting just .234 and has an on-base […]

Nicky Lopez Breaks Slump In Huge Way

Kansas City Royals second baseman Nicky Lopez was mired in the midst of an 0-for-20 slump when he came up to bat with a runner on in the top of the 6th inning on Wednesday. Lopez drilled a triple to right to bring in the run and eventually score himself. Two innings later, he smacked […]

Jorge Soler Sets Career High In HRs

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler admired a shot to left that just barely got out on Wednesday to give him 13 home runs on the season. The two-run shot broke Soler's previous season-high of 12 homers set back in 2016 with the Cubs, and he should easily blow that previous season high out of […]

Glenn Sparkman Ejected In Second Inning

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman finally got another chance to start on Wednesday, but it was short-lived. Sparkman hit Tim Anderson in the head in the bottom of the second, and he was promptly ejected. The Royals have a history with Anderson this season as Brad Keller has also hit Anderson earlier in […]

Lucas Duda Begins Rehab

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda (back) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, and he quickly knocked a couple of singles. Duda has been on the Injured List since April 27 due to a strained back, but the team has been in no hurry to rush him back since his playing […]
