Anthony Rendon Heading To The IL

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran injured his left knee during Monday's contest against Tampa Bay. Although X-rays were encouraging, the bruise he sustained will keep him on the shelf for the foreseeable future. The 30-year-old is batting .276 this year, collecting 16 hits, […]

Manny Machado, Trent Grisham Not In Wednesday's Lineup

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado and outfielder Trent Grisham are not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Manager Jayce Tingler had indicated that Machado would take a seat for a breather, though Grisham was expected to be in the lineup so that one bears watching. Tommy Pham will be in […]

Miguel Sano Activated From Injured List, In Starting Lineup

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano (hamstring) was activated from the injured list on Wednesday. Sano has been eligible to return since Saturday, though the team effectively kept him off the roster for several extra days to give him time to fine-tune his mechanics at the plate. The slugger's return comes at a good time […]

Ruben Tejada Agrees With Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to a minor league deal with free-agent infielder Ruben Tejada on Wednesday. This is just a depth signing for the Phillies, as Tejada last played in the big leagues with the New York Mets in 2019, when he went hitless in just nine at-bats. Prior to that, Tejada hit .230/.293/.283 with […]

Alex Bregman Delivering In Road Games

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-4 with a home run Tuesday against the Yankees. The round-tripper was Bregmans' second in his last four games and is quietly beginning to heat up at the plate. The 27-year-old has been especially dangerous hitting away from Minute Maid Park, slashing an impressive .364/.417/.659 with 10 runs […]

Brian Anderson Returns With A Home Run

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (oblique) was activated from the injured list before Tuesday's game and immediately contributed, blasting a three-run home run in the first inning. Anderson ended up 1-for-3 with the home run and a walk, two runs scored, and three RBI. He looked like he was heating up from his slow […]

Kyle Seager Goes Deep Tuesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager got the scoring going Tuesday, launching a solo shot in the bottom of the third inning off of Baltimore starting pitcher Jorge Lopez. It was Seager's fifth home run of the year. He drove in another run in the bottom of the eighth with a sacrifice fly. For the […]

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 6

It's getting to be a bit tougher out there on the waiver wire as the season progresses now to Week 6. The early season breakouts are now rostered at a rate that is too high for deep league consideration, and the names that are available in deeper leagues likely aren't going to be league-winners at […]

Veteran Bounce Backs In Effect for Fantasy Baseball

The old, boring vets are often the most painful to draft. We've likely seen their ceiling or are so far past it that their current level of production is meager in comparison. This relative way of thinking typically leaves a poorly framed assessment on that subset of players, leaving value to be harvested among the […]

DJ LeMahieu Scores A Pair Of Runs Tuesday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu reached base safely three times in Tuesday's victory over the Astros. LeMahieu singled in the first inning and scored on a Giancarlo Stanton homer, then reached on an infield single and came around to score on a Stanton base hit.

Yoan Moncada Picks Up Two More Hits On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a RBI in Tuesday's victory versus the Cincinnati Reds. Moncada got off to a slow start this season, but has really turned things on lately. Moncada is now hitting .274 with three home runs and 16 RBI. Moncada doesn't have a […]

Anthony Rendon Day-To-Day With Knee Contusion

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (knee) is day-to-day with a left knee contusion according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, and is not in the lineup on Tuesday night. Rendon suffered the injury late in Monday's game when he fouled a pitch off into the side of his kneecap, causing him to collapse […]

Luis Arraez Placed On Concussion Injured List

Minnesota Twins utility Luis Arraez (head) has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list. Arraez was suffering concussion-like symptoms after colliding with Rangers' catcher Jose Trevino at home plate during Monday's game, so it's not too surprising that he'll be forced to miss some time as a result. Infielder Nick Gordon is being recalled […]

Tommy La Stella Placed On 10-Day Injured List Tuesday

San Francisco Giants second/third baseman Tommy La Stella (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring sprain. La Stella exited Sunday's game against the Padres and got an MRI on Monday, after which manager Gabe Kapler said he expected La Stella to go on the IL. The veteran is slashing […]

Brian Anderson To Be Activated On Tuesday

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list before Tuesday's game. Anderson suffered an oblique injury a little over a week ago, and while there was some concern he could miss extended time (as there is with most oblique injuries), Anderson was able to return quickly. He's […]

Greg Garcia Opts Out

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Greg Garcia opted out of his contract with the team on Monday and was subsequently released. Garcia was with the Detroit Tigers in spring training but was granted his release when he didn't make the big league roster to begin the regular season.
