Danny Santana Out of Lineup for Game 1 Against Angels

Texas Rangers first baseman Danny Santana is out of the starting lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Angels. Santana left Monday's game with hamstring tightness, and should be consider day-to-day for now. Scott Heineman will get the start at first for Texas, but he will likely not be fantasy relevant in […]

Daniel Murphy Scores Twice In Loss

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy singled and walked twice in the team's loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday. It was the first time Murphy scored two runs in a game in nearly a month, and they were just his second and third walks of August. Murphy has really struggled to hit for power this […]

Hunter Dozier Extends Hitting Streak To Eight Games

Kansas City Royals corner infielder Hunter Dozier isn't getting quite as much attention now since an injury earlier this year took him off the torrid pace that he was on in May, but he's quietly still putting up a stellar season. Dozier extended his hitting streak to eight games on Monday with a two-run single […]

Yuli Gurriel Drives In Two To Lead Astros

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the Astros 4-3 win over the Tigers on Monday. Gurriel's white-hot second half continues and he now has 88 runs batted in on the season. After slashing only .277/.314/.482 in the first half of the season, the 35-year-old's season has taken off. In […]

Albert Pujols Goes Yard In Loss

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols went 2-for-4 with a home run, two walks, and three runs batted in as the Angels dropped an extra-innings battle to the Rangers 8-7. Pujols smacked his 19th home run of the season in the first inning, a three-run bomb that now gives the veteran slugger 73 runs […]
