Justin Turner Re-Injures Himself Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) left the game early in the third inning on Sunday after re-injuring his groin. It was his first start in 11 days.

Jedd Gyorko Could Return Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jedd Gyorko (illness), who was unavailable Saturday due to illness, could be available off the bench on Sunday. "Feeling much better today.

Cory Spangenberg Called Up

San Diego Padres infielder Cory Spangenberg was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, and the team optioned catcher Raffy Lopez in a corresponding move. Spangenberg will mostly serve as a utility infielder and won't seen enough consistent playing time to be fantasy relevant. He's hitting just .232 with six homers, 17 RBI and five […]

Welp, it happened. After months and months and months and months, Baltimore finally traded their franchise shortstop to the Dodgers for a cache of prospects.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jose Bautista is currently a very widely available asset to fantasy baseball managers due to a recent rough stretch in which he held a .203/.322/.365 slash line, yet still has three HR over his last 74 AB.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 17

We've been wheeling and dealing all season (at least hypothetically), but now's the time when the real moves are made.

We know many of the higher profile names who […]

Cleveland Indians third baseman/outfielder Yandy Diaz had a strong game on Friday. He finished 4-for-6 with two runs scored and two RBI. Diaz smacked a triple and three singles, serving as the team's designated hitter. He was called up over the All-Star Break after hitting .284/.415/.375 in Triple-A. He's a solid enough utility player, but […]

Scott Kingery Continues Torrid Stretch
