Eduardo Nunez Sitting Out on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Eduardo Nunez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game. Brock Holt who has been splitting time with Nunez will get the start at second base and bat sixth against Dylan Bundy. Nunez does lose playing time because of Holt, but he is still worth holding onto in leagues […]

Jurickson Profar Back In Lineup Wednesday

Texas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar is back in the lineup Wednesday. Profar will play first base, with Ronald Guzman receiving a day off. Profar has not fared as well against right-handed pitchers as he has against lefties. When facing right-handed pitchers Profar has a modest .398 slugging percentage with a .165 ISO and a […]

Danny Valencia Moving Up in the Order Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles infielder/outfielder Danny Valencia will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter against lefty David Price on Wednesday. Valencia is batting .600/.667/.720 with zero home runs and three RBI against Price in his career. He normally bats sixth or seventh in the Orioles order, but will move up because of the favorable matchup. […]

Braves Monitoring Mike Moustakas Closely

The Atlanta Braves are monitoring Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas very closely, according to sources.

Six National League teams and three American League teams are talking about him with the Royals. The Phillies are particularly interested after losing out on Manny Machado. Moose will have a much […]

DL Stint Is Possible For Kris Bryant

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon wouldn't rule out another disabled list stint for third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder). It's unclear if Bryant will be available to play on Thursday. Bryant has already spent around a month on the DL with the same injury, and it continues to bother him. He's hitting .276 with 11 home […]

Jake Lamb Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb will be out of the lineup on Wednesday. It's not a big surprise that Lamb will take a seat, as the Cubs will have lefty Jon Lester on the mound. Chris Owings will slot in at third base, but is a low end option in daily leagues. Expect Lamb […]

Drury went hitless in two plate appearances before his injury, and he's batting just .176 on the season with one home run and seven RBI. He's mainly just a bat off the bench for the Yankees, […]

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar was the club’s most productive hitter on a night when their game was led by starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.

Evan Longoria Hoping To Return This Weekend

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hand) is hoping to return from the disabled list over the weekend. He feels like he needs more minor league at-bats, and he was also hit by a pitch in the arm on Sunday. Longo has been out since early June, so he could probably use the extra […]

Brandon Drury Exits After Getting Hit

In the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, the road team lost one of their starters with a potential injury. New York Yankees second baseman Brandon Drury, who was starting and batting seventh, was hit in the hand, taking first base. While he initially stayed in the […]

Evan Longoria is Not Activated on Tuesday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hand) has not been activated from the disabled list and won't play on Tuesday.

Jedd Gyorko Out Again on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Gyorko has only batted twice in the last three games because he's been battling an illness. Matt Carpenter will bat first and play third base, while Jose Martinez bats fifth and plays first against righty […]

Kris Bryant Continues To Deal With Sore Shoulder

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is out of Tuesday’s lineup and could miss additional time with a sore shoulder. Bryant landed on the disabled list earlier this year with a sore shoulder and it continues to bother him. Outfielder Ian Happ will be at third base Tuesday and could see additional starts there if […]

Kyle Seager Struggling At Safeco Field This Season

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager may be hitting only .233 this season but has produced decent power numbers with 16 home runs, 24 doubles and 57 runs batted in. But Seager has really struggled at home this season, slashing only .228/.285/.364 with four home runs through 50 home games. Contrast that to a .475 […]

Mets Recall Infielder Phillip Evans

The New York Mets have recalled infielder Phillip Evans while designating infielder Ty Kelly for assignment. Evans will start at third and bat eighth on Tuesday. Despite starting, Evans will move back to the bench following the imminent return of Todd Frazier. Evans will be nothing more than depth at the infield positions, and could […]

Todd Frazier To Start Rehab Assignment Soon

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (ribs) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment soon. He will hit on Tuesday. Frazier has been out since July 8 but should be able to return soon, barring any setbacks. He strikes out way too much to help in average (.217), but he does have […]

Kris Bryant Will Sit Tuesday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is absent from Tuesday’s lineup versus the Diamondbacks. Bryant is hitting .250 over his last 40 at-bats and this will be a routine day off. Outfielder Ian Happ will show his versatility and play third base Tuesday. Happ will bat fifth versus Diamondbacks starter Clay Buchholz. Happ is in […]

Miguel Andujar Batting Fifth On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar will bat fifth on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The youngster is sporting a slash line of .289/.324/.497, but his batting average the last seven days is a hilariously productive .538. His move to the middle of the order makes a whole lot of sense. Andujar is […]

Yankees See Brandon Drury As Trade Chip

New York Yankees versatile infielder Brandon Drury might be on his way out of the Bronx. According to MLB Network Insider Jon Heyman, the Yankees offered Drury in a potential trade for now-Cleveland Indians reliever Brad Hand. With Drury being relegated as more of a support player on the Yankees roster, it would seem the […]

Jeff McNeil Recalled From Minors

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil has been recalled to play some third base for the Mets. According to Joel Sherman, this move was not made because Asdrubal Cabrera has been traded. The Mets are just looking to add some depth in the infield. McNeil was slashing .342/.411/.617 with 19 home runs and 71 RBI […]
