Giovanny Urshela Won't Play on Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Urshela left early on Sunday after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch. The X-rays were negative, so Urshela is considered day-to-day as of right now. Tyler Wade will play third base and […]

Josh Donaldson Scratched Tuesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday with a sore right calf. Manager Brian Snitker is hoping that Donaldson just needs one day of rest. It's the same calf that caused Donaldson a ton of grief last year, so this is worth watching. He has five home runs and […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Returns Against Pirates

Texas Rangers third baseman Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) is back in the starting lineup and is hitting seventh on Tuesday against Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles. Cabrera missed a few games with a minor calf injury. He's batting just .237 on the season but does have six home runs and 17 RBI in 76 at-bats for […]

Orioles-White Sox Postponed Tuesday

The game between the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White has been postponed on Tuesday due to inclement weather. It'll be made up as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Orioles starter Andrew Cashner and White Sox starter Ivan Nova will likely be pushed back until Wednesday. Make sure you take any players from either team […]

Rafael Devers Has Two Hits In Win

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with a single and a double in the Sox's win over the A’s on Monday. Devers is still looking for his first home run, however, and is flying under the radar, as he is hitting consistently (.296/.389/.367) for an underperforming Red Sox lineup. The more impressive […]

Anthony Rendon Lands On Injured List

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) was placed on the injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 27, with a left elbow contusion. Rendon was hit on the elbow on April 20 and returned on April 26 but has not played since. One suspects the Nationals could have handled this situation better, but that's in the […]

Yandy Diaz Still Hitting

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz has continued his possible breakout campaign with two more hits on Monday against the Royals. There was concern about how much playing time he would see before the season began until injuries made way for him to claim the starting third base job. He’s currently hitting .298/.395/.596 with […]

Nick Senzel Expected To Be Called Up Soon

The Cincinnati Reds are thinking of promoting their top prospect, third baseman/outfielder Nick Senzel, to the majors soon. The move could come as soon as Friday when the team returns home. Senzel has adjusted nicely to center field at Triple-A Louisville and was the No. 2 overall pick in 2016. The 23-year-old will be an […]

Michael Chavis Continues Hot Start

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis finished 2-for-4 with three runs batted in in a win over Oakland on Monday. Chavis' two-RBI single in the third was part of Boston's six-run outburst before another run-scoring single in the fifth gave him his second multi-RBI game of his young career. A top prospect in the Boston […]

Pablo Sandoval Lifted Due To Knee Inflammation

San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval (knee) was lifted late in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to knee inflammation. He was unable to swing right-handed in the game, so manager Bruce Bochy sent Evan Longoria to the dish in a pinch-hitting situation and he ended up going 1-for-2 with a double […]

Troy Tulowitzki, Miguel Andujar Rehab Monday

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf) and third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) both played in an extended spring game on Monday. Tulo went 1-for-4 with a home run and a walk, while Andujar was 3-for-5. Andujar is 8-for-14 in three extended spring games, while the action was Tulowitzki's first since going on the injured […]

DJ LeMahieu, Giovanny Urshela Day-To-Day

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu underwent an MRI exam on Monday which revealed inflammation in his right knee. LeMahieu suffered a contusion on his knee after fouling a pitch off his knee on Friday and he left the game early on Sunday. He's listed as day-to-day. Infielder Giovanny Urshela also left the game Sunday […]

Miguel Sano To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (heel) will start a rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers on Tuesday while recovering from a right heel laceration. The power hitter missed all of spring training after cutting his foot falling down metal steps in the Dominican Republic. Sano is expected to slowly build himself up and will […]

Jed Lowrie Starts Rehab Assignment

New York Mets third baseman Jed Lowrie (knee), who sprained his left knee capsule early in spring training, played in his first rehab game with High-A St. Lucie on Sunday and went 0-for-4 in nine innings. It's unknown how long he'll be on a rehab assignment, but the Mets could be cautious with him considering […]

Kyle Seager Making Progress

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (wrist) took ground balls before the team's game last Saturday, although he won't be eligible to come off the 60-day injured list for four more weeks. The 31-year-old has started swinging a bat on soft tosses and off a tee and expects to move to live pitching before long. […]

Rendon continues to avoid the injured list but is once again missing from the lineup for […]

David Fletcher's Fantasy Arrow Pointing Up

Los Angeles Angels third baseman David Fletcher picked up a pinch-hit single in the team's 7-3 win over the Royals on Sunday. Fletcher has been one of the biggest, most pleasant surprises for the Angels in the first month of the season and is earning more at-bats by the day. Fletcher has a hit in […]

Alex Bregman Has One Hit In Last 13 At-Bats

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has only one hit over his last four games spanning 13 at-bats heading into the week. This is merely a small bump in the road of a long season and has only one extra-base hit over his last seven games. Fantasy owners just need to ride out the mini-slump […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

We may be coming to the end of April, but there remains an overwhelming majority of the season left to play. In most cases, you are still advised not to make drastic decisions regarding your fantasy roster. Of course, that isn't to say you should do nothing. There's always room for improvement. Whether you're patching […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 5

We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Watch List

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

In this week's version Statcast Risers and Fallers for Hitters, we're going to examine a newer metric called Sweet Spot percentage. It may seem like a simple colloquialism but Statcast now measures how frequently a batter truly hits the sweet spot, at least according to ideal launch angle. Simply put, this stat measures any batted-ball […]

The Cut List (Week 5) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome to the final week of cuts in which you can still be told, "It's only April." However, you will not be told that. About one-sixth the season is now complete; that's still not much in the big scheme of things, but if you wait too long, suddenly it's the All-Star Break and someone has […]

Max Muncy Atones For Gaffe With Solid Offense

Los Angeles Dodgers first/third baseman Max Muncy made a throwing error in the second inning to cost his starting pitcher Rich Hill four unearned runs, but he atoned with three singles and a pair of RBI in the 7-6 comeback win. That included the go-ahead RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning off […]
