Brandon Belt Returns To Lineup Friday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (side) is back in the lineup on Friday night and will bat fourth against the Dodgers.

Danny Santana Will Lead Off And Play First Base Friday

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana is starting and playing first base in his debut with the Red Sox Friday night. In that spot, he could merit some fantasy consideration, as the Red Sox have been scoring a ton of runs, though they'll face a tough test Friday against Aaron Nola and the Phillies. […]

Max Muncy Left Off Of Friday's Lineup Card

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy will receive a routine day off on Friday versus the San Francisco Giants.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right hand sprain, the team announced on Twitter. It was yet another blow for a New York squad that has been ravaged by injuries this year, as they now have seven of the nine players from […]
