Kyle Seager To Return Thursday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager's three-day paternity leave ends on Wednesday, and he'll return to the team Thursday. Seager has hit just .224 with one homer and eight RBI on the month, so hopefully his new kid coming into the world will spark his bat. You'll want to get him back into your lineups […]

Jake Lamb Diagnosed With Fraying In Rotator Cuff

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb was diagnosed with fraying in his left shoulder following a visit with Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday. Manager Torey Lovullo says that surgery is an option for Lamb, and opting to go under the knife would end his season. Lamb could also choose to rehabilitate the injury in hopes […]

Wilmer Flores Remains In Lineup Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores is still in the lineup Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. Flores left the 25-4 loss Tuesday early after dizziness, but is back in there batting third Wednesday and playing first base. He has a pretty solid matchup against Tommy Milone and could be a decent option in DFS leagues […]

Jeff McNeil On The Bench Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil will not be in the lineup Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. It is a bit surprising after being one of the only bright spots in the 25-4 loss Tuesday, hitting his first MLB homer. However, it is Phillip Evans playing second base and batting seventh. The 26-year-old was a […]

Todd Frazier To Continue Rehab Assignment

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (rib cage) will continue his rehab assignment with Single-A Brooklyn on Wednesday after homering in his first game on Tuesday.

Miguel Andujar's Home Run Blows Game Open

New York Yankees rookie third baseman Miguel Andujar has been the team's best hitter average-wise, and he once again came up big Tuesday night in a victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The 23-year-old tripled his club’s lead in the fifth inning with a three-run home run, effectively putting the game away. It was the only hit […]

Anthony Rendon Makes Impactful Return to Lineup on Tuesday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon had a monster night in his return to the lineup on Tuesday. Rendon went 3-for-6 with a double and four runs batted in against the New York Mets. The third baseman joined in on the Nationals hit parade, as the team mashed New York pitching for an insane 25 runs […]

Justin Turner Could Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) had another good workout on Tuesday, and manager Dave Roberts is encouraged with his progress. Turner could be activated from the disabled list by this weekend. The 33-year-old just hasn't been able to stay healthy this year, and his numbers have suffered as a result after a […]

Wilmer Flores Leaves Game With Dehydration

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores left the game early Tuesday due to dehydration and dizziness. Flores should be alright in a day or two. The 26-year-old is hitting .262 with nine home runs and 34 RBI on the season and should see more playing time in the Mets infield now that Asdrubal Cabrera is […]

Kyle Schwarber is Out of The Lineup Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ian Happ will bat sixth and play left field against righty Jameson Taillon on Tuesday. Happ has been hitting better lately and could be a sleeper option in DFS contests.

Orioles Acquire Four In Kevin Gausman/Darren O'Day Deal

The Baltimore Orioles acquired prospects Evan Phillips, Jean Carlos Encarnacion, Brett Cumberland and Bruce Zimmerman in the deal for pitchers Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day. Of the bunch, Encarnacion is ranked the highest, sitting 14th among the team's top prospects according to MLB Pipeline. Encarnacion has yet to appear above A-ball, but has hit .293 […]

Nats Activate Anthony Rendon

The Washington Nationals activated third baseman Anthony Rendon from the family medical leave list on Tuesday, and he's back in the starting lineup. He's hitting second and starting at the hot corner against Mets starter Steven Matz on Tuesday. Get Rendon back into your lineups in all leagues.

Austin Romine Sitting, Kyle Higashioka Starting Tuesday

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine will sit on Tuesday for the start of the team's series against the Baltimore Orioles. Backup catcher Kyle Higashioka will get the start behind the plate in Romine's stead. Neil Walker is once again in the lineup, this time as designated hitter. Brett Gardner, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Hicks […]

Adrian Beltre Remaining With Rangers

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre has confirmed he will be remaining with the Rangers. Beltre remains undecided on whether he will play past this year but has stated that he will finish his career with the Rangers. The third baseman has spent the last eight seasons with the Rangers, after having spent time with […]

David Fletcher Likely to Start at 2B

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher is likely going to transition from third base to second base now that veteran second baseman Ian Kinsler has been traded. Fletcher had just taken over regular duties at third, but will likely give that role back to some combination of Luis Valbuena and Jefry Marte. Fletcher is hitting […]

Nolan Arenado Smashes Grand Slam In Loss

Colorado Rockies superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado almost single-handedly carried the team to a win by crushing a grand slam in the fifth inning off rookie sensation Daniel Poncedeleon. Unfortunately, the pitching staff couldn't hold the line and Arenado's shot ended up being for naught but the record books. Arenado extended his NL lead in […]

Pablo Sandoval Put On DL, Joe Panik Activated

The San Francisco Giants placed third baseman Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) on the 10-day disabled list on Monday with a strained right hamstring. He injured himself on a slide on Sunday. He was hitting .248/.310/.417 with nine home runs and 40 RBI in 92 games. In a corresponding move, second baseman Joe Panik (groin) was activated […]

Miguel Sano Picks Up Two Hits In Monday's Win

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano went 2-for-3 with an RBI double on Monday. He also scored another run in the fifth inning to take the lead away from the Cleveland Indians. Sano has been relatively quiet since being called up from the minors, but dynasty players are undoubtedly hoping he returns to his All-Star […]

Start Your Dynasty Team Rebuild From The Waiver Wire

If your dynasty or keeper team is at the back of the pack, now might be the time to rethink strategies. At the very least, it is time to take stock before other under-performing teams do the same and the resource pool becomes limited. Minor moves now could set your team up for success starting […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 18

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Left-Handed xwOBA Splits (Week 18)

A left-handed pitcher takes the mound, a left-handed batter hits the bench. We see it all too often, especially in the later innings when managers love to play the same-handed split matchups in the bullpen. Your star players (does Bryce Harper still count?) won't be affected, but many others will. Not all left-handed batters suffer […]

Maikel Franco Drives In Lone Phillies Run In Defeat

The Philadelphia Phillies took on the Boston Red Sox, baseball’s best team, Monday night at Fenway Park and matched up well. They would ultimately lose 2-1 in extra innings, as the offense simply couldn’t score runs. The club’s lone run, which came in the second inning, was a result of third baseman Maikel Franco’s hot […]

Matt Carpenter Has Another Multi-Hit Game

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter had three hits Monday night against the Colorado Rockies. Carpenter has a sizzling .397 wOBA for the year. He has 10 home runs in the month of July. He also has 21 runs and 17 RBI in that time. Since the all-star break, Carpenter has been hitting .341. He'll […]

Jake Lamb To Seek Second Opinion On Shoulder

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb (shoulder) will meet with Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his sprained left shoulder. The injury is similar to the one he suffered on the same shoulder earlier this season. The sprained AC joint kept him on the shelf for six weeks earlier this year. The Diamondbacks […]
