Dominic Smith Belts His Fourth Homer

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in the Mets 6-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The homer was Smith's fourth of the season and his second on the Mets current road trip. Much like the rest of the Mets, after a rough […]

Luke Voit Could Begin Rehab Assignment In Mid-June

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) could begin his rehab assignment on June 15, per manager Aaron Boone. Voit hasn't played since May 25 with a Grade 2 oblique strain, though he has been able to run and take swings, perhaps progressing quicker than what was initially expected of him. It's worth noting […]

Miguel Sano Collects RBI Double

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-5 with an RBI double and three strikeouts. Sano extended his extra-base hit streak to three games with an RBI double in the third inning.

Yuli Gurriel's Three Hits Lead Astros Attack

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 3-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored in the Astros 6-3 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Rowdy Tellez Goes 0-For-4 In Loss

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Astros, lowering his BA to .207 on the year.

Jesus Aguilar Goes Yard Again On Sunday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar had another strong offensive performance in Sunday's losing-streak snapping win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Aguilar went 2-for-3 with a home run, a run scored, and two RBI. It was Aguilar's 12th home run of the season and his 43rd and 44th RBI. He's had a few cold streaks (mostly […]

Jose Abreu Absent From Sunday' Lineup

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (rest) won't be in Sunday's starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. The reigning MVP has three total hits over his last seven games. This sounds like a normal rest day for the slugging superstar. Andrew Vaughn will get the start at first base versus right-hander Jose Urena on […]

Matt Olson Launches 15th Homer Saturday In Colorado

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, two runs scored, and his 15th homer of the season in a win over the Rockies on Saturday. It feels like cheating to let Olson play in Coors Field, as the big first baseman has been on fire lately and has had […]

Bobby Dalbec Hits Monster Home Run Saturday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec was not originally in Saturday's lineup, but took advantage of the opportunity when he was inserted due to J.D. Martinez's jammed wrist. Dalbec went 1-for-4 with a very deep two-run home run to left-center field that gave Boston a 7-3 lead. Dalbec has a disappointing .633 OPS with […]

Garrett Cooper Likely To Miss A Few Games

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (back) was unable to play in Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears Cooper is dealing with back stiffness, so the team is giving him a few days off. Fantasy managers should consider Cooper day-to-day, but it doesn't sound like he'll land on the injured list. Cooper is […]

Ryan Mountcastle Homers In Second Straight Game Saturday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Ryan Mountcastle homered in his second straight game and hit his third HR in his last four games in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Indians. Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run. The 24-year-old has been heating up lately and now owns a .245/.275/.438 slash line with […]

Miguel Sano Hits 11th Home Run

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Has Three Hits, Homer On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had another productive day at the office in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Astros, going 3-for-4 with a homer. His league-leading 18th round-tripper came off starter Jose Urquidy for a a two-run shot in the fifth as he added a pair of singles to improve his average […]

Chris Gittens Making Major League Debut Saturday

New York Yankees first baseman Chris Gittens is making his major league debut against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Gittens will start at first base and bat sixth against Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. The 27-year-old posted a 1.440 OPS with a home run and three doubles in 25 plate appearances against southpaws at […]

Max Muncy Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (ankle) is listed as day-to-day. Muncy left Friday's matchup against the Braves due to right ankle pain, although manager Dave Roberts isn't too overly concerned, primarily since the 30-year-old attempted to play through the ailment. His status against Atlanta on Saturday remains a mystery, but it wouldn't be […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Hits Solo Homer Friday

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. hit one of the team's four home runs in Friday's 8-5 win over the Cubs, going 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout. Wade Jr. followed a Jason Vosler solo shot with one of his own in the fourth inning to give the Giants an […]

Ryan Mountcastle Hits Go-Ahead Homer Friday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Ryan Mountcastle had another nice day at the plate in Friday's 3-1 win over the Indians, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts. Mountcastle smacked a low seventh-inning Bryan Shaw breaking pitch just over the left-center wall to put the O's on the board. The 24-year-old has picked […]

Joey Votto Goes 0-For-6 In Rehab Appearance Friday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (thumb) combined to go 0-for-6 with a strikeout over both games of a doubleheader with Triple-A Louisville on Friday. Over four games with Louisville now, Votto is hitting 1-for-13 with five strikeouts. It seems like the fractured thumb that has kept him sidelined since May 6 might still be […]

The MLB slate is split on DraftKings, but that's not to say it's even. My friends will have some nine-game early slate tidbits for you. This is going to focus on the six-game nightcap. Coors is on this slate. So are two aces, two faux-aces, and a resuscitated Kohl Stewart. Where do we start? With […]

Chris Gittens Called Up From Triple-A

New York Yankees first baseman Chris Gittens was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Saturday's contest against the Boston Red Sox. Gittens slashed .283/.486/.585 with four homers and 11 RBI in 18 games played for the RailRiders this season. The 27-year-old will likely be looked at as a short-term solution to the Yankees' first […]

Miguel Sano Belts 10th Homer

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano swatted his 10th home run of the season in Friday's 14-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Sano's homer was absolutely crushed, as it traveled 428 feet at an exit velocity of 114.3 MPH, his hardest-hit ball of the season so far. Sano has just two hits in his […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 11

Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this could mean playing a dead roster […]
