Hunter Dozier Extends Hitting Streak

Kansas City Royals rookie infielder Hunter Dozier has been suffering from some big-time growing pains so far this season, but he's finally starting to get on a bit of a roll.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) took ground balls at third base on Monday but has yet to swing a bat. He's been out since July 24 with left shoulder inflammation.

Neil Walker Cranks Long Home Run In Win

The New York Yankees led MLB in home runs at the All-Star break but have significantly slowed since then, ranking near the bottom of the league in the category since then.

David Bote is Out of the Lineup Monday

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The red-hot Bote will get the night off, while Javier Baez bats cleanup and plays third base against righty Jake Junis. Bote does not see regular playing time, so it's tough to own him despite […]

Miguel Rojas Sitting Out on Monday

Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. J.T. Riddle will draw the start at shortstop and seventh against righty Luke Weaver.

Adrian Beltre Back At Third Base Monday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre will return to his spot at third base Monday. Beltre has had a weekend off from playing the field, as he was the designated hitter Saturday before sitting Sunday. Beltre's injury hit season has not been good for fantasy owners, with just five home runs and a relatively below […]

Kris Bryant Unsure When He'll Resume Swinging

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) said on Sunday that he doesn't know when he'll be able to swing a bat. However, Bryant said there are no long-term concerns with his shoulder inflammation. The slugger's shoulder injury has put a real damper on his season so far, and he's batting .276 but has only […]

Jose Ramirez Has Been Tearing It Up His Last Six Games

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jose Ramirez has been one of the league's home run leaders this season with 33, and he's not showing any signs of slowing down.

Miguel Andujar's Defensive Blunders Cost Yankees On Sunday

Nicholas Castellanos Continues To Struggle

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos turned in a hitless performance on Sunday against Oakland, capping a miserable week of play for the slugger. Castellanos has managed just three singles over his last five games, adding up to a minuscule .143 average. In his defense, the entire Tiger offense has been silent as of late, […]

Daniel Robertson Probably Out For Season

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson (thumb) is expected to have surgery this week, which will likely end his season. The surgery is to fix the injury to his left thumb in hopes that it will not affect future seasons. Robertson was mostly useful for his position versatility in AL-only leagues. He was hitting .262 […]

Miguel Sano Picks Up Two Hits Sunday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano went 2-for-4 with a run scored in his team's 6-5 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The two-hit game continued Sano's recent success as he has picked up at least a hit in five of his past six games. Sano has appeared in eight games since being […]

Angels Designate Luis Valbuena For Assignment

The Los Angeles Angels have designated infielder Luis Valbuena for assignment. Valbuena was in the midst of an ill-fated two-year, $15 million dollar contract. He was slashing an abysmal .199/.253/.335 with nine home runs and three steals. At the moment, it appears that utility infielder Kaleb Cowart and Jefry Marte will split time at third […]
