Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 11

Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this could mean playing a dead roster […]

Jose Devers Doubles Twice On Friday

Miami Marlins rookie infielder Jose Devers had his best game as a big leaguer so far in Friday's loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. In fact, Devers was the lone bright spot in what is hopefully rock bottom for the Marlins. Devers started at second base and hit in the leadoff spot, going 2-for-4 with two […]

Marwin Gonzalez Drives In Two

Boston Red Sox utility man Marwin Gonzalez drove in two runs Friday, going 2-for-4 with two doubles against the Yankees while playing first base. Gonzalez has a terrible slash line of .199/.287/.291 for the year with just one homer and two steals, and he could be at risk of losing playing time. He'll stay on […]

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers provided most of the offense Friday, hitting a three-run home run in the top of the first inning to blitz starter Michael King and the Yankees. It was the 15th home run of Devers' season. Devers endured a brief cold stretch against the fastball of late, but it […]

Luis Guillorme To Potentially Return Next Friday

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme (oblique), who hasn't played since April 25 due to a strained oblique in his right side, could return to the Mets by next Friday if he has no setbacks according to manager Luis Rojas.

New York Mets infielder Jonathan Villar (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Friday night but will be available off the bench, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets for Week 10

Sometimes fantasy baseball can resemble the stock market. You want the best portfolio of players without having to pay too much for them. Sometimes to achieve the optimal team, you need to make trades. The best way to gain added value is to trade away an over-performing player for one in a rut. This way, […]

Nolan Arenado Goes Hitless In Thursday's Loss

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado has been in a bit of a cold stretch lately. He went 0-for-4 in Thursday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds and has now failed to record a hit in four of his last five games. He's hit 1-for-18 with no walks and four strikeouts over that five-game stretch. […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Goes 2-For-4 In His Return

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes made his return to the field after a two-month absence against the Miami Marlins on Thursday. He went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run in the game. He batted second in the lineup in the game and should remain in or around that spot going forward. Hayes should […]

Kyle Seager Homers, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a strong night Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, and a stolen base. The home run was his 11th of the year, and the steal was his second. Seager won't contribute much in batting average or on-base percentage, as he's slashing .222/.289/.449 on the year, […]

Josh Donaldson Had A Solid Night At The Plate Despite Twins Loss

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson went 3-for-5, with his team losing to the Kansas City Royals. Donaldson produced two solo home runs and added three runs. The 35-year-old was going through a home run drought of 15 games before playing on Thursday. He has seven homers and 20 RBI in 2021. The veteran third […]

Jake Lamb Crushes Fourth Home Run

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Jake Lamb went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory versus the Detroit Tigers. Lamb got the start in left field with Andrew Vaughn (COVID-19) unavailable. Lamb is now hitting .265 with four home runs and five RBI. The veteran doesn't get enough playing time to be considered in […]

Yoan Moncada Stays Hot With Fifth Home Run

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada continued to stay hot by going 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory versus the Detroit Tigers. Moncada has been one of the hottest hitters of late and is now hitting .299 with five home runs and 30 RBI. Moncada got off to a slow start, […]

Christian Arroyo Hits First Home Run Of The Year

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo went deep Thursday afternoon, hitting a three-run shot off Astros starter Jake Odorizzi to get the scoring started. It was his first of the season. Arroyo has been solid in limited time this season, slashing .282/.330/.412 over his 85 at-bats, but he doesn't get enough playing time to […]

Ryan McMahon Dealing With An Injury

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon (groin) wasn't in the starting lineup on Thursday night. Although it initially appeared as if the 26-year-old was getting the night off to rest, it now appears as if he is dealing with a left groin strain. McMahon has played well this season, performing to the tune of 53 […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Progressing Toward Return

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) has been running nearly at full capacity. The veteran has been out since mid-May while dealing with a hamstring strain. While the news is certainly promising, the 35-year-old may need a few rehab starts before he can return to the big club, so fantasy managers may not see him […]

Evan Longoria Remains Out Versus Cubs

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (side) will not be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The veteran infielder suffered a mild intercostal strain on Monday. Since then, Longo has not been back on the field, but it sounds like he's being considered day-to-day. Wilmer Flores will cover third […]

Miguel Andujar Homers Thursday

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar stayed hot at the plate in Thursday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Andujar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run for his third long ball in four games. The blast left his bat at an exit velocity of 110.2 MPH and traveled 405 feet. The 26-year-old is starting […]
