Rafael Devers Dominant In Wednesday's Doubleheader

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was 5-for-8 with six RBI, two home runs, three runs scored, and one walk during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. He was one of the few Red Sox batters that participated in both games. The sophomore has had a tumultuous season at times, but he still has […]

X-Rays Negative On Justin Turner's Thumb

X-rays turned up negative on Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (thumb) after he hurt his thumb trying to field a ground ball on Wednesday. "There’s a little bit of swelling there,” manager Dave Roberts said. "He’s certain that nothing is wrong as far as structurally, but it’s a little sore.” It's great news, […]

Travis Shaw Drives In Two Runs Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw was the run-production half of the offensive duo Wednesday versus St Louis. Christian Yelich would reach five times to set the table. Shaw would drive him in with singles twice to provide the scoring in the 2-1 victory. Shaw now has 31 HR to go with 85 RBI to […]

Matt Duffy Injured Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy (quadriceps) left the game early on Wednesday with right quadriceps tightness. He is considered day-to-day. Duffy had a walk and a run scored in one plate appearance on Wednesday before leaving. He should be able to make a return for the final weekend of the season. Although he lacks […]

Kris Bryant Receives Good News

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that third baseman Kris Bryant (wrist) is sore after being hit by a pitch on Tuesday, but his wrist isn't as swollen as the team thought. Bryant is out on Wednesday and could miss another game or two, but he should be able to return this weekend and into […]

Wilmer Flores' Injury Not Serious

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) has "some arthritis buildup" in his knees. The injury isn't believed to be serious and wouldn't have kept Flores out for more than 10 days if it weren't the end of the regular season. Even on a bad team, Flores didn't see regular playing […]

Matt Duffy is Back in the Lineup on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Duffy was given a routine off day on Tuesday, but is rested and ready to go on Wednesday. He'll bat second and play third base versus righty Masahiro Tanaka. DFS players should probably avoid […]

Eduardo Nunez To Return To Action This Weekend

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter on Friday and will play third base on Sunday. Nunez has been out since Sept. 19, but the Red Sox want to get him back in there before the playoffs start next week. Nunez hasn't been as good this year as he […]

X-Rays Negative On Kris Bryant

X-rays turned up negative on Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (wrist) after he was forced to leave the game early on Tuesday after getting hit by a pitch. However, he will not play on Wednesday. While Bryant severely disappointed his fantasy owners this year due to a shoulder injury mostly, and he won't be […]

Kris Bryant Has Bruised Wrist

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (wrist) has been diagnosed with a left wrist bruise after being hit by a pitch on Tuesday. It's unclear how long Bryant might be forced to miss, but it's terrible timing with the Cubs hanging onto a slim lead in the division over the Brewers. […]

Kris Bryant Hit By Pitch, Leaves Game

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (wrist) left the game early on Tuesday after being hit in the left wrist by a pitch. Infielder/outfielder Ian Happ replaced Bryant at third base. Bryant was hitless in two plate appearances with a strikeout before he left the game. He's had really bad luck with injuries this year, […]

Kyle Seager is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Seager is not hitting .219 with a .272 OBP this season, so it's been a disappointing season to say the least. Kristopher Negron will play third base and bat sixth versus lefty Brett Anderson. Negron […]

Elvis Andrus, Adrian Beltre Return to the Lineup on Tuesday

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus and third baseman Adrian Beltre return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Both players received a routine rest day on Monday, but are ready to on for this one. Andrus will play shortstop and bat second, while Beltre will bat cleanup and serve as […]

Both players received off days on Monday, but are back and ready to go on Tuesday. Lindor will lead off and play shortstop, while Donaldson bats fifth and plays third base […]

Matt Duffy is Sitting Out Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Duffy is hitless over his last three games, so he'll get the day off to rest. Joey Wendle will bat second and play third base versus righty Luis Severino. Out of the all […]

Miguel Sano, Mitch Garver Could Return This Week

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) and catcher Mitch Garver (concussion) could both return later this week. Garver passed his concussion tests and could return as a designated hitter or pinch-hitter. With the regular season ending on Sunday, it's a long shot that either player will produce much, if at all, to close out […]
