Texas Rangers third baseman Danny Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Angels Tuesday. Santana now has two hits in his last 22 plate appearances, with both hits being home runs. Santana was due for some regression after a torrid start to the second half as his BABIP was […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 22 - Buy or Sell?

Today's magic numbers: 5/14. Each riser has exactly five home runs in the past two weeks (August 13-26). The names are a little more interesting on the whole than the ones with six or seven (and have been less explored around here). As for falling power outputs, four of today's five have been risers in […]

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar added to his impressive RBI total on Monday with a 2-for-5 performance.

Scott Kingery Expected To Be Fine

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said that infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery's (stomach) abdominal issue that forced him from the game on Monday is gastrointestinal and not muscular, so he's expected to be fine.

X-Rays Negative For Mike Moustakas

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas' (wrist) X-rays came back negative on Monday after he was hit in the wrist/hand with a hard line drive on defense, but he's sore and is "unlikely" to play on Tuesday, according to manager Craig Counsell.
