Yesterday against the Tampa Bay Rays, the rookie played right field and batted sixth, picking up two hits and driving in two runs. […]

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez is sitting on Sunday. With the temperatures in the mid-thirties, it is a well-timed day off to alleviate any additional stress for Nunez' knee.

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy (knee) will head to Florida on Monday for extended spring training.

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 3

If your fantasy baseball team looks anything like most of mine, then you've got a couple of injured players occupying bench spots because your DL positions are already full. That didn't take long did it? The 10-day DL has been both a blessing and a curse for the fantasy world. On the one hand, it […]

Jonathan Villar Drives Three Run Bomb In Win

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the 5-1 win over the New York Mets.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop was put on the DL prior to Saturday's game against the Red Sox due to a right oblique strain.

Javier Baez Continues To Stay Hot

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez continues to swing a red hot bat at the plate. Baez finished Saturday’s game 1-for-5 with four RBI. Baez led the way in the Cubs monsterous bottom of the eighth inning when he hit a bases loaded double to clear the bases and tie the game at that point. […]

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's win over the Dodgers.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis is back in the lineup on Saturday. Travis underwent x-rays after being hit by a pitch on Friday, but those evidently did not discover any injuries. Often a popular name in fantasy circles, the Devon Travis love always comes from his red hot short bursts of production rather […]

Jonathan Schoop Exits Loss As Precautionary Measure

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop wasn't pulled from Friday night's 7-3 loss just to let Engelb Vielma get some playing time - and a Major League debut. Schoop had felt something in his side after he struck out in the seventh inning. Rather than risk anything, manager Buck Showalter removed Schoop, who was 2-for-4 […]
