Jurickson Profar Sitting, Ronald Guzman Starting Tuesday

Texas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar will receive a day off on Tuesday. His absence will allow first baseman Ronald Guzman to return to the lineup.

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 15

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 […]

Wilmer Flores Picks Up Yet Another Walk-Off Hit

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has a knack for getting the big hit in walk-off victories, and on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies he did it again to become the franchise’s all-time leader in base knocks of that variety. Mired in a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the 10th inning, Flores drilled a […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Socks 16th Homer Of 2018

The New York Mets didn’t provide a ton of offense (as usual) in a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, but second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera gave them all he had.

Tyler Saladino Out of the Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Jonathan Villar is Sitting on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Brock Holt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Eduardo Nunez will play second base and bat seventh against lefty Mike Minor.

Christian Arroyo Beginning Rehab Assignment on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays Christian Arroyo is beginning his rehab assignment on Monday. He has been out since June 15 with an oblique strain. Arroyo was the crown jewel of the Evan Longoria trade and the Rays will certainly want to get him playing time upon his return. He could play all over the infield as […]

Cesar Hernandez Returns to Lineup in Game One

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez is back in the lineup for game one of the team's doubleheader against the Mets on Monday.

Jorge Alfaro To Sit For Game 1 Of Doubleheader Monday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Jorge Alfaro will sit for the first matchup of Monday’s doubleheader against the New York Mets. Andrew Knapp will start in his place, and it will be worth monitoring who starts the second game. Since Alfaro sat on Sunday as well, the money is on him to start Game 2. Cesar Hernandez […]
