Moreland has struggled in his first year in Oakland as he's slashing just .238/.295/.397 and hasn't been playing every day as the A's have cycled through other players in the […]

Miguel Sano Goes Yard In Friday's Loss
Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Houston Astros. Sano's homer was a towering blast, traveling 418 feet off the bat at an exit velocity of 109.7 MPH. The slugger suddenly leads the Twins in home runs, 13, and RBI, 31, […]
Max Muncy Exits Friday’s Game Early With Side Tightness
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy exited Friday's game against the Rangers early with side tightness. He went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run before exiting. The Dodgers infielder was replaced in the game by Albert Pujols. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Muncy "felt something in his oblique area" and is considered "day-to-day." It's […]

Votto swatted a three-run homer off of Colorado starter Kyle Freeland in the third inning to extend his team's lead to seven runs. The veteran first baseman has been […]
Jake Cronenworth Homers and Drives In Two Friday
San Diego Padres utility man Jake Cronenworth drove in two runs with a homer off Mets reliever Miguel Castro Friday, accounting for all the offense the Padres could muster in a game started by a dominant Jacob deGrom. Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with the home run, his sixth of the year, and two strikeouts. Cronenworth has […]
Bobby Dalbec Hits Seventh Homer Friday
Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec went deep Friday, driving his seventh long-ball of the year off Blue Jays starter Ross Stripling with one out in the third inning. It's his 15th home run in 75 career games, and he is now only one of 11 Boston players to ever hit his first 15 […]
Trey Mancini Hits 12th Homer Of Season Friday
Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini produced both of the team's runs in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rays, going 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk. Mancini golfed a third-inning Ryan Yarbrough offering into the left-field corner for his 12th HR of the season and 46th and 47th RBI. Mancini has been […]

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. kept his torrid start to the 2021 campaign going on Friday, collecting three hits and a walk in the team's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox. He slugged his league-leading 19th home run of the season in the sixth inning and also added a single and a […]
Josh Bell Records A Double Against Giants
Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell produced his 10th double of the season as his team lost to the Giants 1-0 on Friday. He went 1-for-3 with a strikeout. Bell has a six-game hitting streak in the last six games he has started. The 28-year-old sports a .217 batting average with eight home runs and […]
Cody Bellinger Not Starting On Saturday
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger will not be in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Rangers. Kolby Allard has made life miserable for left-handed batters this season, so Dave Roberts made the call for strategic purposes. Gavin Lux will also be benched against Texas, so fantasy managers should expect Mookie Betts to […]
Colin Moran Remains Out Of Lineup Friday
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Brewers. Moran was hit on his right pinky finger by a pitch on Wednesday, but X-rays came back negative and reports are that it is a "pain tolerance management" issue Moran has to deal with before he […]
Eric Hosmer Not In Lineup Friday Against Mets
San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer is not in the starting lineup on Friday night against the Mets. It appears to just be a night off for Hosmer, who has appeared in 19 of the team's last 20 games. With Hosmer out, Jake Cronenworth slides over to first base and will bat third against […]
Alex Kirilloff In Friday's Lineup
Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff (ankle) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Houston Astros. Kirilloff injured his ankle while playing the outfield during Thursday's game and was forced to leave the contest, though manager Rocco Baldelli had referred to the talented prospect as day-to-day. The 23-year-old will start in right field […]
Yuli Gurriel Is Absolutely On Fire
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel will head into Friday's action against the Twins as, perhaps, the hottest hitter in the game right now. Over his last 31 at-bats, Gurriel is slashing .484/.553/.742 and is hitting .577 over his last seven games. The 37-year-old is, once again, proving to be one of the more underrated […]
Bobby Bradley Batting Fifth Again Friday
Cleveland Indians first baseman Bobby Bradley will play first base and bat fifth against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. This marks Bradley's second consecutive game hitting in the five-hole and this could be a normal occurrence against right-handed pitching if he continues to hit well as he is 4-for-10 with one home run through his […]
Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets for Week 11
Sometimes fantasy baseball can resemble the stock market. You want the best portfolio of players without having to pay too much for them. Sometimes to achieve the optimal team, you need to make trades. The best way to gain added value is to trade away an over-performing player for one in a rut. This way, […]
