Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was responsible for two of Boston's five hits Saturday, going 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, and an RBI. He also was caught stealing for the fifth time this year. Devers has been in somewhat of a rut in June, and this triple is just his fourth […]

Kyle Seager Strikes Out Three Times Saturday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had another rough game Saturday, going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts and five men left on base in a loss against Cleveland. Seager is in a tailspin of late, with a .111/.194/.222 slash line in his last seven games, and his season OPS is now an underwhelming .691. Though generally […]

Cavan Biggio Homers In Three-Hit Night

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Cavan Biggio swatted his fourth homer of the season in his second game back from the IL versus the Red Sox in Saturday's 7-2 win. He took Nick Pivetta deep for a solo shot in the fifth inning and also logged a single and a double to finish the night […]

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. LeMahieu doubled in his first at-bat but was left stranded. He later came up with a huge, game-tying homer in the ninth inning, a welcome sight for fantasy managers given his […]

Travis Shaw Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) was officially transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. No surprise here, primarily since the veteran could be going under the knife in the near future after dislocating his left shoulder on Wednesday against the Reds. Shaw is eligible to come off the IL in August, and if […]

Jonathan Villar Tees Off On Saturday

New York Mets third baseman Jonathan Villar went 1-for-3 with a 408-foot solo home run in the Mets 4-1 victory over the Padres on Saturday. Villar also scored two runs in the contest. Villar, who channeled his inner Darryl Strawberry with the monstrous blast to right field, now has six home runs, 15 RBI, seven […]

Jeimer Candelario Placed On COVID-19 IL

Detroit Tigers infielder Jeimer Candelario has been placed on the COVID-19 IL. The 27-year-old recently spent time on the bereavement list because of a death in his family. However, since he was out of the country, he will need to clear protocols before returning to the lineup, which is expected sometime next week.

Matt Chapman Has Big Saturday Versus Royals

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored in a win over the Royals on Saturday. Chapman doubled in a run in the second inning before scoring on a double by Matt Olson. He would launch a solo homer in his next at-bat before adding a sacrifice fly. […]

Ronald Torreyes Collects Two Hits Versus Former Team

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Ronald Torreyes went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Yankees on Saturday. Torreyes, who played for New York from 2016-18, is heating up at the plate playing in the absence of another former Yankee, Didi Gregorius (wrist). The utilityman is now batting .311 on the season and has six hits in his […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Sitting Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is not in the starting lineup Saturday, instead taking a seat on the bench as the Pirates face off against Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers. Hayes has started eight games in a row since returning from a wrist injury, so this figures to be a routine day off. […]

Travis Shaw To Rehab Until August Before Deciding On Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) will try to rehab until August before deciding on surgery. The 31-year-old suffered a nasty dislocation of his left elbow on Wednesday against the Reds but will try to work his way back before deciding whether or not he needs to go under the knife. If rehab doesn't improve […]

Ryan McMahon Getting The Day Off On Saturday

Colorado Rockies' third baseman Ryan McMahon is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Cincinnati Reds. Josh Fuentes is starting at third base and batting sixth in lieu of McMahon. The 26-year-old is batting .254 with a .801 OPS to go along with 14 home runs, 37 RBI, and three stolen bases on the […]

Jose Ramirez Collects Three Hits Friday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two runs scored, one RBI, and two walks in Friday night's 7-0 win over the Seattle Mariners. Ramirez had a solid performance in this one and is now hitting .429 with six RBI in June.

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez (shoulder) will play another rehab game on Saturday. Arraez made it through Friday's game without a setback, going 1-for-4 with an RBI groundout.
