Lucas Duda Out On Wednesday

With the Kansas City Royals playing a set at a National League park, first baseman Lucas Duda is getting the day off on Wednesday while rookie Hunter Dozier takes his spot. Duda has played in four straight games since his return from the disabled list last week, but he's only actually played the field in […]

Hello my friends, and welcome back to another Wednesday edition. We've got 11 games on the Main slate tonight with a heavy dose of Eastern and Central time zone games and just two out west.

Dominic Smith Wears Golden Sombrero As Struggles Continue

Between his initial MLB debut in the summer of 2017 and his results since being called back up in mid-June of this season, you can’t really ask for a much worse first impression than the one New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith has displayed. In a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, […]

Jake Bauers Drives In Decisive Run Tuesday Versus Washington

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers drove in the only run of the game Tuesday versus the Nationals. With runners on first and third with one out, he hit the ball to the right side of the infield. Bauers would hustle down the line and beat the relay throw to first to prevent a […]

Wil Myers Records First Multi-Hit Game Since Activation

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and run scored in Tuesday's victory against the Texas Rangers. Myers led the Padres comeback charge by plating a run with his two-base hit in the eighth inning and came around to score on outfielder Hunter Renfroe's double two batters later. The two-bagger […]

Jose Martinez Homers and Drives in Three Runs On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Jose Martinez had a strong game on Tuesday, finishing 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. Martinez cranked a three-run home run in the second inning and brought his batting average up to .302. He started the season off without showing off too much power, but he's been hitting […]

Matt Carpenter Has a Monster Game on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter had a monster game on Tuesday, going 5-for-5 with five runs scored and three RBI. Carpenter totaled 12 bases, with two home runs, two singles, and a double. After a terrible start to the season, Carpenter is more than making up for it lately. Hitting atop a good Cardinals […]

Freddie Freeman Drives In Run In Loss

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman did what he could to help his team on Tuesday, going 1-for-4 and both driving in and scoring a run. Alas, it wasn't enough as Matt Harvey, while not dominant, kept them off balance for nearly seven innings as the Braves fell to the Reds, 5-3. Freeman has fallen […]

Kole Calhoun, Luis Valbuena Sit Against Left-Hander

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun and infielder Luis Valbuena will sit on Tuesday against left-hander David Price. Calhoun has hit well since returning from the disabled list, but it looks like he will still be held out against left-handers, at least for now. Michael Hermosillo will take his place in right field, batting ninth. […]

Orlando Arcia is Sitting on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Arcia continues to struggle on offense, so the Brewers are going to give him some rest. Brad Miller will draw the start at shortstop and bat fifth on Tuesday. Arcia is really only worth a […]

J.T. Realmuto is Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto (hand) is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has now missed back-to-back starts after taking a foul ball to the wrist on Sunday. Bryan Holaday will draw another start behind the plate on Tuesday. The Marlins consider Realmuto as day-to-day, so he won't head […]

Ronald Guzman On Seven-Day Concussion DL

The Texas Rangers placed first baseman Ronald Guzman (head) on the seven-day concussion disabled list on Tuesday and recalled outfielder Ryan Rua from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Guzman was hitting just .227 with seven home runs and 30 RBI on the year and was seeing little playing time ever since Adrian Beltre […]

Josh Bell And Colin Moran Not In Lineup Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell and third baseman Colin Moran are both out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Mets. There has been no mention of injuries to either, so it looks like just a day of rest for both players. Bell, who hit his first homer in two months, will be […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 13

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Jake Bauers With His First Four-Hit Game Monday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers recorded his first career four-hit game of his young career Monday versus Washington. He would score twice while driving in one run as the Rays won 11-0. His on-base percentage is now a great .416 so far in his rookie run. The only one of the five traditional […]

Matt Carpenter Gets Three Hits on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter recorded a double and two singles on Monday, finishing 3-for-4 with a run scored. After an unbelievably bad start to the season, Carpenter is back to being a mixed league asset. His batting average has gone up to .245 and his OPS to .827.

Gregory Polanco and Josh Bell Homer Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco and first baseman Josh Bell both homered in their game Monday in New York. Polanco hammered a full-count pitch to center field, his 10th of the season. Bell would smash a two-run homer four innings later in the sixth. It was Bell's first home run since May 31 and only […]

Ronald Guzman Removed With Head Injury

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman was removed from the game Monday when he took a knee to the head while diving back to third base on an attempted pickoff. He is likely to go into the concussion protocol and could land on the seven-day disabled list. Joey Gallo cam in to pinch run and […]

Neil Walker Not Starting on Monday

New York Yankees infielder Neil Walker (rest) is not in the starting lineup versus the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. Walker has been struggling with the bat this season, so it's not surprising to see the Yankees letting their younger players get more action. Walker has failed to record a hit in weeks, so fantasy owners […]

Joey Gallo is Out on Monday

Texas Rangers corner infielder/outfielder Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the starting lineup on Monday versus the San Diego Padres. Gallo was forced to leave Saturday's game due to left hamstring tightness. However, the Rangers are facing lefty Joey Lucchesi on Monday. Gallo is hitting a rough .151/.235/.370 versus southpaws this season. Gallo played on […]

Danny Valencia Out of The Lineup Monday

Baltimore Orioles infielder/outfielder Danny Valencia (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Seattle Mariners. Tim Beckham is back off the disabled list, so that will eat away at Valencia's playing time. Valencia does not have good career numbers off Felix Hernandez, which is likely why he's not playing. Valencia is […]

Eric Hosmer To Sit Against Rangers On Monday

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (rest) will not play on Monday against the Texas Rangers. Hosmer will go up against lefty Cole Hamels, who he is 0-for-13 against in his career. Hosmer has been struggling as of late and also is only hitting .215 against lefties this season, so this is almost certainly […]

Yonder Alonso Not in the Lineup for Monday's Game

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game. With the designated hitter unavailable in St. Louis, Edwin Encarnacion will get the start at first base and Alonso will take a seat on the bench to start the game.
