Kris Bryant Pulled During Sunday's Game
Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant was removed early during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Matt Chapman Sitting Out On Sunday
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman is sitting out Sunday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners.

Santiago Espinal is manning the hot corner and batting seventh […]

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts for Fantasy Baseball - Week 14
Have we found a reasonable median expectation for offense moving forward? So far in July, the offensive output has been remarkably similar, though power still remains down compared to previous seasons.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant hit two home runs Friday night, leading the team to a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also doubled and walked in five plate appearances.

Rafael Devers Won't Play On Saturday
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back) was removed early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. The young slugger exited the game after hitting the railing while going after a foul ball. Manager Alex Cora mentioned that Devers won't suit up for Saturday's contest.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back) was removed from Friday's game against the New York Yankees in the top of the fifth inning due to an apparent lower-back injury.

Nolan Jones Called Up Friday
Cleveland Guardians third baseman/outfielder Nolan Jones was called up Friday and is set to make his MLB debut. Jones has been a highly regarded prospect in the past, but dropped out of the top 100 after a mediocre 2021 campaign. He seems to have found his game this year, though, hitting for a monster .311/.417/.500 […]
