Rafael Devers Has Huge Game Monday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers stuffed the stat sheet Monday with a home run, three RBI, a stolen base, and two runs scored in Boston's rout of the Blue Jays. Devers got off to a somewhat slow start but has turned it on in May. Devers owns a strong .515 slugging percentage in […]

Scott Kingery Sitting Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery is not in the Phillies starting lineup Monday night at the Cubs. Kingery was activated from the Injured List Sunday and went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base. Kingery is an interesting prospect for fantasy as he stole 10 bases in limited playing time last season and […]

Evan Longoria is Sitting Out

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Longoria has struggled to get his bat going this season and has seen a lack of playing time because of it. Pablo Sandoval will bat fifth and play third base versus righty Mike Soroka. […]

Giovanny Urshela is Back on Monday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Urshela left Sunday's game after a foul ball hit him in the groin. It appears that he's fine and no injured list stint is needed here. He'll play third base and bat seventh versus […]

David Fletcher Hitting Ninth Monday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman David Fletcher will start and hit ninth as the team opens up a series with the Twins. Fletcher has shaken off an offensive dry spell by going 7-for-20 (.350) over his last five games. The 24-year-old has been a pleasant surprise this season but is slugging only .286 over his […]

Tommy La Stella Has Fantastic Monday Matchup

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Tommy La Stella will hit leadoff against the Twins on Monday night. Over his last 30 games, La Stella has eight home runs, 19 RBI and is slashing .330/.408/.604. He already has set a new career-high in home runs and his hot streak has elevated him to the leadoff spot […]

The Cut List (Week 8) - Time to Let Go?

May is half over. That's scarcely believable, but it's true. Much more believable but equally true: there are plenty of players that should be axed. April showers can't bring May flowers for everyone, and some players even got that proverb mixed up: they are following up April flowers with damp May production. This analogy is […]

Anthony Rendon Homers Again on Sunday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon left the ballpark again on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. Rendon was 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, his eighth long ball of the season. The 28-year-old has been sensational thus far in 2019, slashing .331/.416/.669 in 32 games. Rendon is strengthening his claim as one of the top […]

Barrel Leaders - Statcast Hitter Studs and Duds (Week 8)

To check out that analysis and a detailed explanation of what makes a Barrel so valuable, click here. To differentiate […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

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 […]

Hunter Dozier Shows A Little Life

Kansas City Royals breakout Hunter Dozier is fighting to prove he isn't just a blip. Following a superstar-worthy first month of the season, Dozier has been coming back down to Earth at a rapid pace. Over the last 10 days, Dozier is hitting just .176 and is slugging an amazingly wimpy .206. That said, he […]

Manny Machado Snaps 11-Game Hitting Streak

The empty day snapped an 11-game hitting streak for the 26-year-old and he’s now slashing .262/.340/.453 on the season with nine homers and 47 runs-plus-RBI. Machado still hasn’t fully heated up, posting a career-worst 22 percent strikeout […]

Colin Moran Powers Pirates To Win

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 6-4 over the Padres. Moran hit a three-run home run as part of the Pirates' four-run first inning.

Yandy Diaz Exits After Hit-By-Pitch

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz exited Sunday's game after being hit by a pitch on his left hand in the seventh inning. X-rays came back negative and he is considered day-to-day with a hand contusion. Diaz was 1-for-3 with a run in this game and is batting .256 on the year with nine […]

Matt Carpenter Sidelined Against Left-Hander

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter is getting a breather on Sunday versus Rangers lefty Drew Smyly. It's a routine off-day for the 33-year-old who's having a disappointing season batting .206 with five homers. Carpenter has turned it around lately with hits in four of his last five games including a home run on […]

Travis Shaw to Begin Rehab Assignment on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (wrist) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Wednesday. He reportedly took 75 swings on Sunday and didn't feel any discomfort. It sounds like Shaw is ready to test his wrist in game action. He'll likely see at least three or more rehab games before he's ready to return. […]

Josh Donaldson is Sitting Out Against Brewers

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine day off for the slugging third baseman.

Justin Turner Returns to the Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (shin) will return to the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Turner left Friday's game after fouling a ball off his shin.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pablo Sandoval has long been a fixture for San Francisco Giants squads that made triumphant postseason runs, and if his stint in Boston proved anything, it's that he doesn't appear to be comfortable batting outside the Bay.
