Miami Marlins first baseman Neil Walker went 2-for-4 with two strikeouts during Tuesday's loss to the Rays. With his latest installment, the 33-year-old has now had a hit in each of his last eight games. He will have a shot to keep the streak alive against Ryne Stanek on Wednesday, with Walker going for a […]

Ryan Zimmerman Returns To Baseball Activities
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) was taking grounders Tuesday, marking his first time on a field since April 26. Dealing with plantar fasciitis, Zimmerman is hopeful to ramp up the workload after this week. “I think the plan this week is to ease into baseball activities and see how it reacts to that," […]
Daniel Murphy is Out on Tuesday
Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This does not appear to be injury related, so it's likely because the Rockies want to go with a right-handed batter against lefty starter Chris Sale. Mark Reynolds will play first base and bat […]
Howie Kendrick is Sidelined on Tuesday
Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick (neck) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Kendrick hasn't played since Friday due to neck stiffness. Gerardo Parra will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Parra has been awful with the bat, so go ahead and avoid him […]
Freddie Freeman Returns on Tuesday
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Freeman missed Sunday's game due to an illness and the Braves were off on Monday. He'll bat third and play first base versus righty Jack Flaherty on Tuesday.
Jake Rogers Gets Promoted To Triple-A
Detroit Tigers catching prospect Jake Rogers has been promoted to Triple-A. The Tigers' eighth-ranked prospect raked to a tune of a .302/.429/.535 slash line to go along with five home runs, 17 runs, and 21 RBI with the Erie SeaWolves. He is also one of the best defensive catchers in the minor leagues. While he […]
Jed Lowrie Suffers Setback
New York Mets second basemen Jed Lowrie suffered a hamstring strain on Tuesday. Lowrie has yet to see the field this season due to a sprained left knee capsule and was initially expected to be activated on Friday. This new injury will now send him back to Port St. Lucie, and he will be reevaluated […]
Khris Davis Blasts Two Home Runs
Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis ended his 21-game homer drought in style, blasting two home runs in the 6-5 loss to the Mariners. Davis took Mariners starter Yusei Kikuchi yard in the sixth and followed that up with a solo blast off of Austin Adams in the eighth. His 19th multi-HR game since joining the A’s […]
Austin Meadows Sitting Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (rest) will sit Tuesday night. The young outfielder has shone this season, hitting .360/.427/.721 through 23 games. A full crash may not be in store, but his .397 BABIP should lead to some regression. Ride him while he's hot.
Anthony Rizzo Remains Sidelined
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) will not be in Tuesday’s lineup versus the Cincinnati Reds. Rizzo has been dealing with back pain and was left out of Sunday’s lineup. Third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant will take over at first base and infielder Daniel Descalso will replace Rizzo in the lineup and bat second. Rizzo […]
Jordan Zimmermann May Begin Baseball Activities Tuesday
This is good news. It was earlier reported that Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (elbow) was having trouble getting a pain-free extension, so this is a step in the right direction. The right-hander is trying to avoid a second Tommy John surgery by attempting to rehab his sprained right UCL. He won't be pitching […]
Trevor Rosenthal To Make Second Appearance In Double-A Tuesday
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal continues his minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday. He only pitched one inning his first time out, and his seven appearances with the Nationals were absolutely awful to say the least. The timetable for his return is currently unknown.
Anthony Rizzo Out Of Cubs Lineup Tuesday
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) is out for the second consecutive game on Tuesday. This isn't a new issue for Rizzo so the Cubs will likely be cautious with their star and not rush him back. Kris Bryant will fill in at first, and Danny Descalso will be in at second against the […]
Travis Shaw Likely Heading to the Injured List
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (wrist) is likely heading to the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a wrist injury. It has been a very slow start to the 2019 season for the 29-year-old, who is batting just .163 with four home runs and 50 strikeouts through 135 at-bats. Top prospect Keston Hiura has been […]
Daniel Vogelbach Swats Clutch Eighth Inning Homer
Seattle Mariners designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach came up clutch in Monday's win over the Athletics. He cranked a three-run home run to straightaway center to tie the game in the eighth as the M's went on to win in extras. The long ball was Vogelbach's 10th of the year as he finished the day going […]

Mitch Moreland On Fire In May
Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland, who sat out Monday's contest due to facing lefty Marco Gonzalez, has three home runs in his past four games, bringing his slugging percentage in May up to a robust .750 with a .410 on-base percentage. Moreland is still part of a platoon at first base with Steve […]
Yuli Gurriel White-Hot On Offense
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 2-for-5 with one double, one RBI and two runs scored as the Astros blew out the Rangers 15-5 on Sunday. After a slow start in the month of April where Gurriel hit only .242, Gurriel has six multi-hit games over his last eight games played. Gurriel is 15-for-33 […]
Daniel Murphy Drives In Three
Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy is still recovering some from his hand and back ailments, but that isn't slowing down his ability to hit for extra bases. Murphy stepped in as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of Sunday's contest and promptly cleared the bases with a three-run double. The concern coming off […]
Kris Bryant Homers Again
Chicago Cubs first baseman Kris Bryant went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer during Sunday's win over the Brewers. The 27-year-old has been red-hot so far this month, compiling 13 RBI and five home runs while striking out only seven times in 36 at-bats. With a day off on Monday, the Cubs will next head to […]

Cody Bellinger Continues Torrid Streak
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger finished 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Washington Nationals. His numbers are absolutely ridiculous at this point, as he's slashing .407/.486/.772 and has 14 homers, 38 RBI, 37 runs scored, and seven stolen bases on the year. He leads […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is Ronny Rodriguez's true talent level reflected in his current .305/.344/.644 line?
