Dee Gordon, Ryon Healy Nearing Rehab Assignments

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) and third baseman Ryon Healy (back) are both recovering well and could start short minor league rehab assignments later this week. Gordon should return this role as the starting second baseman, but Healy's playing time will be in question with Kyle Seager at third and either Daniel Vogelbach […]

Hunter Dozier Lands On Injured List

The Kansas City Royals placed third baseman Hunter Dozier (chest) on the 10-day injured list after he left last Thursday's game with muscle tightness in his chest. The move is retroactive to May 31. The 27-year-old has had a breakout season thus far, batting .314 with 11 home runs and 33 RBI, but he'll be […]

Justin Turner Absent From Lineup Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is not in the lineup Tuesday night at Arizona. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said it is a planned day off for the veteran third baseman after Turner returned to the lineup Monday. Turner had missed the teams previous four games with a hamstring injury so Los Angeles is […]

Kelvin Gutierrez Recalled, Starting on Tuesday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez has been recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday. Hunter Dozier (chest) was placed on the injured list Monday, so Gutierrez will fill in at third base. Gutierrez hit .281/.300/.386 with a homer and 11 RBI during his 15 games in Kansas City this season. However, he'll likely split the […]

Manny Machado Strokes Grand Slam

San Diego Padres shortstop Manny Machado crushed a grand slam in Monday’s victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Machado’s only hit of the contest capped a seven-run sixth inning and was his 10th long ball of the season. Machado has been steady in 2019 but not the superstar baseball fans are used to watching. Monday’s blast […]

Josh Jung Goes To Rangers No. 8 Overall

The Texas Rangers stayed at home in the Lone Star State, selecting third baseman Josh Jung out of Texas Tech with the eighth overall pick in the 2019 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Monday.

Anthony Rendon On Career-Best Pace

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon has been a steadily reliable high-end fantasy hitter the past three years, but this season he may be taking his game to another level for his owners. Through 45 games, Rendon is slashing .331/.436/.650 with 10 home runs and 35 RBI. His .436 on-base percentage is third in the […]

David Fletcher Extends Hit Streak To 13

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher extended his hitting streak to 13 games Monday going 1-for-4 against the Cubs. Fletcher is now batting .322 on the season with an OPS of .836. Fletcher has been mostly empty batting average this season as he has very little pop, but he does have five stolen bases and […]

Scott Kingery (3B/SS/OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In the absence of outfielder Odubel Herrera (administrative leave), Scott Kingery has found himself earning more regular playing time for the Philadelphia Phillies, particularly in center field. Herrera’s season could potentially be over as he’s facing a likely suspension and potential jail time. The […]

Cheslor Cuthbert Continues To Hit Well

Since being called up three days ago, Kansas City Royals third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert has done a fine job of filling in for breakout star Hunter Dozier, who is sidelined with a pulled chest muscle. Cuthbert has hit safely in all three games, including a 3-for-4 day on Sunday and a solo shot on Friday. […]

In the latest edition of Statcast Studs and Duds for offense, we're going to shorten the range of outcomes. I will look at leaders in hard-hit balls over the past month only. Also, rather than simply isolating Hard% as a metric, I am looking at the total leaders in batted ball events that qualify as […]

Nolan Arenado Teased For Home Run

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is playing so well that his teammates even make fun of some of his home runs. Arenado drilled his 16th of the season on Sunday, but the 432-foot blast came one inning after Chris Iannetta hit one 476 feet, so his teammates provided a polite golf clap and proceeded […]

Eduardo Escobar Homers Again on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar had another productive day at the plate on Sunday in a win over the New York Mets. Escobar went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored. The home run was his 15th of the season and came off starting pitcher Steven Matz in the first […]

Ryan Mountcastle Hits Three Home Runs

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI on Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk. With the strong performance, Mountcastle is now hitting .328 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI. Mountcastle recently missed a few games with a wrist injury, but that didn’t appear to bother him Sunday. The […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

This point of the season is a rough one for reinforcements on the waiver wire. Pretty much everyone is still trying to win, and with early breakouts long since snapped up and injuries taking their toll as usual, it can be tough to find help that doesn't require a trade partner. Tough - but not […]

David Fletcher (2B/3B/SS/OF, LAA) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of All Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into 2019, David Fletcher was only on the radar in the deepest of leagues. With a high-contact, low-power profile, Fletcher produced little of consequence in 2018; posting a triple-slash of .275/.316/.363 with an .088 ISO and a.297 wOBA that produced […]

Kyle Seager Belts First Homer Of 2019

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager provided most of the team's offense in their 13-3 loss at the hands of the Angels on Sunday. He finished the afternoon going 2-for-3 with a homer, double, and a walk, scoring two of the team's runs. The long ball was the first of the season for Seager after […]

Miguel Sano Doubles Twice, Drives In One

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs, and an RBI in a 9-7 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Sano has been productive since being activated from the injured list, hitting .260 with a 1.036 OPS, five homers, 13 runs, and 11 RBI in 50 […]

Dee Gordon, Ryon Healy Both Hit In Cage

Seattle Mariners infielders Dee Gordon and Ryon Healy both hit in the batting cage on Sunday as they work their way back from the IL. Gordon has been sidelined with a wrist injury since May 9 while Healy has been out of action since May 21 with a back injury. The team is hoping the […]

Justin Turner Sitting In Fourth-Straight Game

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is on the bench again Sunday after injuring his hamstring in Wednesday's game. The Dodgers can afford to play it safe with the veteran as they carry considerable roster depth, and he should be able to avoid a trip to the IL. Max Muncy is taking over at […]

Yoan Moncada Out With Leg Soreness

Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada has been scratched from Sunday's lineup with what manager Rick Renteria is calling "leg soreness." The injury doesn't appear to be serious, and the club is likely taking a precautionary measure with their young star bat. Moncada is amidst a breakout year after much-awaited anticipation. He's batting .283 with […]

Hunter Dozier Remains Out on Sunday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (chest) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Dozier pulled a chest muscle on Thursday and hasn't played since then. Cheslor Cuthbert will bat sixth and take over at third base versus righty Adrian Sampson on Sunday. Cuthbert is too risky of […]

Matt Carpenter is Getting Some Rest

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This is partly because Carpenter needs a day off, and lefty Cole Hamels is on the mound as well. Jedd Gyorko will bat sixth and play third base versus Hamels. Gyorko has been awful […]
