Cavan Biggio Homers And Walks Twice In Win

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Cavan Biggio belted his third homer of the season on Saturday, helping his team beat the Astros 8-4. He took Cristian Javier deep in the third inning for a two-run shot as he finished the game going 1-for-2 with two runs and a pair of walks. Biggio has spent the […]

Kyle Seager Goes Deep

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager went deep Saturday against the Texas Rangers. The homer, Seager's sixth of the year, came off of lefty reliever Kolby Allard, and was absolutely crushed to center field. He also singled and walked in the contest. After a very hot start, Seager's OPS has settled back towards his career […]

Danny Mendick Hits First Home Run Of 2021

Chicago White Sox infielder Danny Mendick made his first career start in the outfield on Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run. Mendick's home run was part of an eight run first inning that helped set up a long night for Royals pitchers. The utility man has been on and off of the […]

Josh Donaldson Supplies Offense Saturday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson provided the offense for his team in a 7-3 loss to the Tigers on Saturday. Donaldson went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a walk, and a run scored.

Josh Harrison (2B/3B, WAS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Harrison hit his third home run of the year on Friday, bringing his overall line to a zesty .325/.416/.494. Because he's a career second-division starter and utility infielder who will turn 34 in July, you might be tempted to write this off as […]

Gio Urshela Remains On The Bench Saturday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (knee) remains sidelined on Saturday. Urshela is considered day-to-day and has yet to suit up in the two games since injuring his left knee. With a game on Sunday and a scheduled off-day on Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Yankees hold Urshela out and then […]

Miguel Sano Collects RBI On Friday

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano recorded an RBI single, a run scored, and a walk in Friday's defeat of the Tigers. Sano registered two batted balls of 95-MPH or greater in his at-bats on Friday, including a 99.9 MPH single in the top of the ninth inning for an insurance run. Sano has two […]

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jonathan Villar went 2-for-3 with a stolen base, two walks, and an RBI in the Mets' 5-4 ten inning win over the Diamondbacks on Friday. The steal was Villar's first of the season. Villar is now batting .273/.407/.409 with a home run, four RBI, and a steal in May while primarily […]

Early Plate Discipline Standouts

In 2019, I introduced a new (yet simple) statistical metric which focuses on the core ingredients of plate discipline. The Weighted Plate Discipline Index (wPDI) looks at the following basic binary events: Was the ball thrown in the zone? Was the ball swung on? Did the batter make contact with the ball? Weighted Plate Discipline […]

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's loss to the Nationals.

The […]

The Big Picture - Injuries Aren't Just Increasing, They're Hitting Harder

Alex Bregman Struggling At Home

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will line up against the Blue Jays at Minute Maid Park on Friday. Over his last 15 games, Bregman is slashing .316/.371/.491 with 10 runs batted in and 12 runs scored. But the talented infielder has strangely struggled at home this season, slashing .227/.292/.318. He has only two extra-base […]

Luis Guillorme Expected To Return Sunday

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme (oblique) is expected to return from the injured list as soon as he's eligible on Sunday. His return will likely push infielder Jose Peraza back to Triple-A.

Miguel Andujar Recalled From Triple-A

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before Friday's game against the Nationals.
