Jung Ho Kang Slowed by Wrist Injury

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang "will be shut down for a bit because of left wrist soreness," director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said. Kang has been trying to make his way back to the Pirates lineup but has been set back a couple of times by this wrist injury. Hopefully, the injury […]

Alex Bregman Walks Off Blue Jays With Blast

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman hit a walk-off, two-run home run to complete the Astros comeback win over the Blue Jays 7-6. Bregman capped off a 3-for-5 day with his 14th home run and added two doubles in the game. Bregman is really beginning to heat up with three home runs in his last four […]

Eddie Rosario Batting Third, Robbie Grossman Back In Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario is batting third on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. The move marks the first time in the last four games that Rosario isn't batting second in the lineup. Infielder Eduardo Escobar will bat second on Wednesday after leadoff hitter Joe Mauer. Logan Morrison will sit while Robbie Grossman takes […]

Johan Camargo Drives In First Run In Nearly A Week

It's not like we could expect Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo to drive in five runs a game like he did on June 19, but it's not unfair to be disappointed that his RBI in Wednesday's game was the first since June 22. Camargo is still battling inconsistency - he's young at 24, but […]

Sean Rodriguez Is On The DL

Pittsburgh Pirates utility player Sean Rodriguez was placed on the disabled list Wednesday with a right quadriceps strain. The Pirates super sub is batting an abysmal .145 this year and is 1-for-25 in the month of June. He will be replaced by right-handed pitcher Tanner Anderson. Anderson is 1-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 34 […]

Kyle Seager With Four Extra-Base Hits In Last Seven Games

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager was a one-man offense Tuesday night, hitting his 14th home run and knocking a two-run single in the Mariners 3-2 win. Seager now has two doubles and two home runs over his last seven games as fantasy owners hope this recent run is a positive sign moving forward. Despite […]

Evan Longoria Begins Physical Therapy

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria had surgery last week to repair a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand. He has just begun physical therapy and projects to be out until the end of July at the earliest. Longoria was having a bit of a down year compared to his lofty standards, but […]

Cheslor Cuthbert Likely to Begin Triple-A Assignment This Weekend

Kansas City Royals third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert has been on the disabled list with a lower back strain since mid-May. It has been announced that Cuthbert should start a rehab assignment this weekend with Triple-A Omaha, although no formal date has been announced. Cuthbert has not offered much in terms of fantasy value so far […]

Travis Shaw Out Of Lineup Again Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. This is the second game Shaw has missed in a row with a sore wrist. Hernan Perez is starting again at third base. Shaw has struggled over the last month but has 14 homers and an .819 OPS […]

Josh Donaldson Suffers Setback In Rehab

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) suffered a setback during his rehab and will now rest and be re-evaluated in about three weeks. It was discovered in an MRI that Donaldson has an acute strain of his left calf, which likely occurred while he was taking ground balls at the team’s training complex in […]

David Wright Takes Batting Practice For Second Straight Day

With the good news on New York Mets third baseman David Wright (back, neck) seemingly few and far between, it’s always really nice to have the opportunity to take note when the chance arises. Wright took batting practice at Citi Field on Tuesday, the second consecutive day he has done so, in his latest comeback attempt […]

Wilmer Flores Wins It For Mets In Extra Innings

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores will always have a place in team lore for crying on the field after learning he was “traded” before that trade fell apart and never really happened, only to hit a walk-off home run the next night against the Washington Nationals that started the Mets run to the World […]

Matt Carpenter Has a Monster Game on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter had a monster game on Tuesday, going 5-for-5 with five runs scored and three RBI. Carpenter totaled 12 bases, with two home runs, two singles, and a double. After a terrible start to the season, Carpenter is more than making up for it lately. Hitting atop a good Cardinals […]

Yairo Munoz Forced to Leave Tuesday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Yairo Munoz was forced to leave Tuesday's game due to an ankle contusion. He fouled a ball off his left ankle in the fourth inning and had to be replaced by Greg Garcia. He'll surely undergo more tests after the game, and the team should update his status soon. For now, […]

Kris Bryant Sent To The Disabled List With Sore Shoulder

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) has been placed on the disabled list with a sore shoulder. Bryant has missed the past three games and his time on the disabled list will be retroactive to June 23. Ben Zobrist and Ian Happ will both get more at-bats with Bryant out and Tommy La Stella […]

Kole Calhoun, Luis Valbuena Sit Against Left-Hander

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun and infielder Luis Valbuena will sit on Tuesday against left-hander David Price. Calhoun has hit well since returning from the disabled list, but it looks like he will still be held out against left-handers, at least for now. Michael Hermosillo will take his place in right field, batting ninth. […]

Kris Bryant Remains Out On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) will miss his fourth straight game on Tuesday versus the Dodgers. Bryant has been dealing with a sore shoulder, but isn’t expected to land on the disabled list. Second baseman Javier Baez will slide over to third base with Ben Zobrist starting at second base. The Cubs offense […]

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Shaw exited early during Sunday's game and is expected to miss a couple of games. Hernan Perez will serve as the starting third baseman for the Brewers on Tuesday against Jake Junis. Shaw should […]

Mets Demote Luis Guillorme, Promote Gerson Bautista

The New York Mets made a few transactions on Tuesday, sending down infielder Luis Guillorme to Triple-A Las Vegas and calling up reliever Gerson Bautista in a corresponding transaction. Guillorme heads back down after being a particularly large reason for the Mets latest loss, committing two errors that led to runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates […]

Josh Bell And Colin Moran Not In Lineup Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell and third baseman Colin Moran are both out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Mets. There has been no mention of injuries to either, so it looks like just a day of rest for both players. Bell, who hit his first homer in two months, will be […]

Wilmer Flores Hits Fifth Dinger Of The Year

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has had a largely quiet 2018 season, but he made the most of his pinch-hit opportunity against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. Called upon to hit for reliever Tyler Bashlor, who was making his Major League debut, Flores crushed a three-run home run for his fifth long ball of […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 13

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 […]
