Cincinnati Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte will not get the start in the team's third game of the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marte, who was ranked as the 29th-best prospect in 2023 (MLB Pipeline), has had an underwhelming season at the plate. In 44 games (157 at-bats), he is slashing .197/.235/.318 with four HR, […]

This past week, I did something in one of my fantasy leagues that I have never done before. I picked up a 2-start pitcher, Martin Perez, to NOT play him. I picked him up so other teams in my league could not get him, and the possibility of teams chasing me, getting two wins this […]

Toronto Blue Jays rookie third baseman Addison Barger went 2-for-4 in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels, including a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth.

Max Muncy Taking A Seat Versus Southpaw

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
