Mets Claim Chance Cisco, J.D. Davis To 60-Day IL

The New York Mets claimed catcher Chance Cisco from the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The club optioned the 26-year-old to Triple-A Syracuse, and he is simply catcher depth for the organization and remains well off the fantasy radar. To make room for Cisco, the Mets transferred third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) to the 60-day-injured list. Davis […]

Michael Brantley Goes Yard Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley slugged his fourth home run of the season in the first inning off of White Sox starter Dylan Cease in Thursday's 10-2 win.

Tarik Skubal Continues Solid Form

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal posted his second consecutive quality start on Wednesday in a win against the Royals. The 24-year-old racked up seven strikeouts and limited Kansas City to only three earned runs despite allowing eight baserunners (six hits, two walks) over six innings.
