He slashed .143/.286/.321 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs scored across 35 plate appearances in 2021. The Tigers prospect is worth stashing in dynasty leagues but fantasy managers can move on redraft formats. Infielder Zack […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes On The Bench Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is on the bench for Saturday's game against St. Louis with right-hander Adam Wainwright on the mound.

Evans is hitting .220 with […]
