Jose Abreu Remains Hot
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu hit his second home run in as many days on Sunday. Abreu is off to a hot start and finished the game 2-for-3 with a RBI and two walks. Abreu remains one of the better options at first base in all formats.
Yonder Alonso Goes Yard
Chicago White Sox first baseman/designated hitter Yonder Alonso hit his first home run of the season on Sunday. Alonso finished the game 2-for-3 with three RBI and a pair of walks. Alonso is a good bet for a minimum of 20 home runs, but he is best suited for AL-only leagues at this time.
Niko Goodrum Reaches Four Times In Win
Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum started at second base and batted out of the cleanup spot in the order on Sunday and reached base four times as the Tigers beat the Blue Jays in extra innings. Goodrum logged two doubles, a single, a walk, and a run scored to fill the stat sheet. Goodrum […]

Shin-Soo Choo, Ronald Guzman Out Sunday
The Texas Rangers have made a couple of changes to their starting lineup as they get set to face former Ranger, Cole Hamels.

Jesus Aguilar Returns To Brewers Lineup
After sitting out Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar will return to the starting lineup Sunday for the series finale.

Matt Duffy Expects To Be Out Until Mid-May
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (hamstring, back) says that he expects to be out until around mid-May.

Miguel Rojas Puts Up Three Hits In Rout Of Rockies
Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas went 3-for-5 with one run, and three RBI in the 7-3 win over the Colorado Rockies.

Cody Bellinger Puts Up Monster Stat Line With Two Home Runs
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger went 4-for-6 with two runs and six RBI in the 18-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera was hit by an Aaron Sanchez fastball on the hand and suffered a contusion on Saturday after X-rays came back negative.

While his team was defeated Saturday afternoon, New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu was strong in his first start for the club.

Jose Abreu Goes Yard Saturday
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went yard for his first home run on the season on Saturday versus the Kansas City Royals. He finished the game 1-for-4 with three RBI. Abreu offers both power and average and is one of the most underrated first baseman in the game.
