Robinson Cano Has Torn Hamstring

Just as he was beginning to pick up his performance at the plate, New York Mets infielder Robinson Cano could be sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 36-year-old landed on the IL Monday and MRI results revealed a torn left hamstring. There is no timetable for his return and he could very well […]

Gleyber Torres In Lineup At Designated Hitter

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres is batting cleanup on Monday as the designated hitter against the Baltimore Orioles. Torres exited Sunday's game with a core injury but appears to be fine enough to hit, if not take the field. Gio Urshela also sustained an injury Sunday and is not in the lineup. DFS players […]

Robinson Cano Lands On IL

After exiting Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, New York Mets infielder Robinson Cano was placed on the injured list Monday afternoon.

Giovanny Urshela, Gleyber Torres Exit Early With Injuries

While the New York Yankees buried the Boston Red Sox Sunday night at Yankee Stadium, they once again suffered some injuries that added to the concerns that have seemingly been in effect all season. The first injury seemed to occur in the opening frame of the game, as infield All-Star Gleyber Torres appeared to wince […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

It's frankly flabbergasting to find ourselves in August already, but here we are. With fantasy football kicking into high gear and many owners out of the running in baseball leagues, we can expect there to be fewer suitors for any waiver wire pickups moving forward. The owners who remain, of course, are generally of a […]

Howie Kendrick (1B/2B/3B/OF, WSH) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone 35 years old (who saw his last season cut short because of an Achilles injury after playing just 40 games), what we're watching Howie Kendrick put together this season in limited playing time is quite impressive. He's hustling for plate appearances […]

Alex Bregman Starting To Heat Up

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in the Astros 3-1 win over the Mariners on Sunday. Bregman is coming off a month of July where he hit only .233 as the rest of the Astros offensive lineup is surging. Despite the mediocre batting average, Bregman still […]

Evan Longoria Activated from IL, Batting Fifth for Giants on Sunday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria was activated on Sunday from the Injured List and is in the starting lineup against the Rockies.

Kris Bryant Out of Lineup Sunday Against Brewers

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is out of the lineup on Sunday afternoon against the Brewers. Sun-Times writer Brian Sandalow reports that Bryant is dealing with "a little bit of a knee thing", but that he could have been available to play Sunday. Owners should consider Bryant as day-to-day for now, and look to […]

Brad Miller Activated from Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Brad Miller (hip) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He missed a few weeks with a hip issue, but is healthy and ready to contribute again. Maikel Franco has been optioned to the minors, so Brad Miller should see more playing time. Scott Kingery will draw most of […]

Maikel Franco Optioned to Minors

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco has been optioned to Triple-A on Sunday. Franco is hitting .231 with 15 home runs and 47 knocked in this season with the Phillies. He's been basically invisible with the bat since May, so this move is not surprising. Scott Kingery is expected to see most of the playing […]

Matt Carpenter is Activated on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (back, foot) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Carpenter has played in just four games since July due to multiple lingering injuries. He's been hard to watch with the bat this season, but will get his starting role at third base back in St. […]

Hunter Dozier Blasts Two Homers

Kansas City Royals corner infielder Hunter Dozier has come back down to Earth after an incredible start to the season, but he's still a threat every time he comes up to the plate. He blasted two solo home runs in Friday's game with the Twins, though it was in another losing effort. Dozier was hot […]

Kris Bryant Gets A Day Of Rest

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant will sit out Sunday’s series finale versus the Milwaukee Brewers. It’s just a routine day off for Bryant who has been in a bit of a funk lately.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Has Three Hits in Loss

The Blue Jays lost to the Orioles 6 - 4 on Saturday night but rookie third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to heat up, going 3 - 4 in Baltimore, with an RBI double. As well as picking up three hits for the second time in three games - and for the third time in […]

The Cut List (Week 19) - Time to Let Go?

The trade deadline has come and gone. Arguably only one widely-rostered player, Luke Jackson, became unusable thanks to a trade at the deadline. So not much has changed around here.
