Seattle Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore has been removed from Friday’s starting nine against Texas and left-hander Kolby Allard due to wrist soreness.

Nolan Arenado Goes Deep On Thursday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado was 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Houston Astros. The perennial All-Star has had a slow start to the 2020 campaign, slashing .234/.279/.489 with seven HRs and 15 RBI. Thankfully, all of Arenado's underlying numbers suggest a positive progression is in store. He […]

Ryan McMahon Smacks Two Homers In Losing Effort

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ryan McMahon was 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI, and two walks during Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Houston Astros. While McMahon's .225 average fails to stand out, he has started to hit the ball a lot harder over the past week. McMahon now has eight RBI to go along […]

Jeff McNeil In Funk At Plate Ahead Of Layoff

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil has been unable in the early part of the 2020 season to replicate his stellar hitting output from last year. Having avoided catastrophe last week during an outfield incident, McNeil appears healthy at this stage, but he has gone just 1-for-14 in his last five games. Further complicating […]

Anthony Rendon Battling Wrist Ailment, Will Continue Playing

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is dealing with a left wrist injury but doesn’t anticipate missing anytime because of it. Rendon’s first 21 games with the Angels have been massively productive, as he is on pace to set new career bests in on-base percentage (.441), wOBA (.420), and OPS+ (178). Those in season-long […]

Yankees-Mets Contest Postponed Friday, Series In Doubt

The New York Yankees and New York Mets were set to meet Friday in the first Subway Series contest of 2020 at Citi Field. But due to positive COVID-19 tests within the Mets’ organization -- including at least one player and one member of the staff -- the first game has been postponed, with the […]

Mets-Marlins Game Postponed Thursday

The New York Mets and Miami Marlins have had their contest Thursday postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests within the Mets’ organization.

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 5)

When I started writing up the column for this week, it was going to focus on the esteemed gentlemen of Fernando Tatis Jr. and Bo Bichette as well as the broader shortstop landscape. Then I started looking at first base and DH and got fixated on what was happening with Cody Bellinger and Shohei Ohtani, […]

Midseason Waiver Saviors at Every Position

With roughly 60 percent of the MLB season left to play, fantasy owners are understandably at their wits-end with some of their underperforming draft picks and "bigger" names that they are far too hesitant to drop. Do not let the fallacy of sunk-costs play you into holding onto a player that is dragging your team […]

The Top 50 redraft prospects list is back for another week and we continue to see a lot of movement on the list as teams rely heavily on young players in 2020.

The New Big Red Machine

For some, the nickname Big Red Machine conjures up fond memories of former WWE superstar and current Knox County, TN mayor Kane (real name Glenn Jacobs). However, the mere mention of the Big Red Machine in the mid to late 1970s made many big league pitchers shudder in fear at the prospect of facing a Reds […]

Alex Bregman Placed On The Injured List

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (hamstring) has been placed on the Injured List with a hamstring injury. Bregman first aggravated the injury in Wednesday's game. He was pulled from the game in the fourth inning and on Thursday morning, he was sent from Colorado back to Houston for an MRI. The Astros will use […]

Rafael Devers Records Three Hits Against Phillies

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 3-for-4 with one run scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 victory against the Phillies. The 23-year-old has started to swing a hot bat with a .355 batting average, six runs scored and six RBI over the past week, after getting off to a slow start to […]

Yankees Option Miguel Andujar To Alternate Site

New York Yankees third baseman and outfielder Miguel Andujar was optioned to the team’s alternate site on Thursday. Andujar got into three games since his most recent call-up before being sent back down, and it appears as though the Yankees want to load up on relievers given their impressive offensive depth and Zach Britton’s (leg) […]

Manny Machado Walks It Off In Grand Fashion

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado hit a walk-off grand slam Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. Down 2-3 with the bases juiced, Machado unloaded on a full count from closer Rafael Montero to secure the Friars victory. The 28-year-old finished 2-for-5 overall. With mediocre batted-ball outcomes, Machado is slashing just .222/.325/.455 in 114 plate […]

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 0-for-3 but drew two walks, scored two runs, and stole two bases Wednesday against the Pirates.
