Mark Trumbo Drives In Two Runs As Orioles Win

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Mark Trumbo, who had only returned fairly recently, continued his hot hitting, breaking a 3-3 tie with a two-run single in the eighth inning of Wednesday's victory. The O's snapped a seven-game losing streak and Trumbo, who went 1-for-4 is now hitting .303. Yes, it's a small sample size and he […]

Nelson Cruz Hitting .120 Over Last Seven Games

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz has three hits over his last 25 at-bats, hitting .120 over his last seven games, with 10 strikeouts heading into Tuesday night's action. Two of those three hits have gone for home runs, but his batting average has dipped to .245 during the skid. Cruz is clearly scuffling and […]

Playing Time Dwindling For Evan Gattis

Houston Astros catcher/designated hitter Evan Gattis has struggled to begin the season and has seen only 11 at-bats thus far in the month of May. He has lost playing time at the catching position to Max Stassi and veteran Brian McCann. He also has been the odd-man out in the designated hitter rotation of late, […]

Logan Morrison Leading Off Tuesday

In a new look for the Minnesota Twins, first baseman Logan Morrison will lead off against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Twins lose the designated hitter since they are playing in a National League stadium, which leaves regular starter Joe Mauer on the bench for Game 2 of the team's two-game series. This […]

Giancarlo Stanton Out Of Lineup Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will sit on Sunday against the Cleveland Indians. Nothing has been reported regarding an injury, so he is just getting a customary rest day. He should be taken out of all lineups for today. Stanton has gotten off to a slow start this season, so a […]

Carson Fulmer Can’t Get Through Four Innings Friday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carson Fulmer struggled to get out of the fourth inning Friday evening versus the Minnesota Twins. Fulmer went 3 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits, five runs (four earned), two walks and struck out six batters. Fulmer allowed four home runs on Friday and now owns an ugly 5.02 ERA. His […]

Logan Morrison Falls A Triple Shy Of The Cycle

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Logan Morrison turned in a big game at the plate on Thursday. Morrison went 3-for-4 with a single, a double, a homer, two runs and two RBI, falling just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Morrison got off to a painfully slow start for the Twins in 2018 but […]

Nelson Cruz With Seven RBI Over Last Six Games

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz powered his sixth home run of the season in the 6-3 Mariners win Tuesday night. Heading into Wednesday's action, Cruz now has driven in seven runs over his last six games with two home runs. He is 9-for-26 (.346) during that span and is quickly making up for lost […]

Kendrys Morales Steals a Base And Clubs Two Homers

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Kendrys Morales has not been very good, to say the least, since his return from the disabled list in late April. In fact, Morales hadn’t picked up a hit in any of his last seven games, a sparkling goose egg of 0-for-19. That all changed in a 7-4 victory over […]

Shohei Ohtani Back in the Lineup

Los Angeles Angels star designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (ankle) is back in the lineup on Tuesday, hitting fifth. Ohtani was originally scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, but had his start pushed back to the weekend while his ankle recovers. Evidently the team thinks his ankle is good enough to hit, so barring a setback, he […]

Robinson Chirinos K's Three Times in Loss

Starting catcher Robinson Chirinos had a forgettable day, striking out three times in three at-bats against the Blue Jays. The outing brought his season line to .178/.274/.452 with just 5 home runs and a staggering 32 strikeouts against just 73 at-bats. Coming into the season, fantasy owners expected the veteran to swing-and-miss, but the lack […]

Chris Davis, Pedro Alvarez Out of Lineup Saturday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis will be out of the lineup on Saturday against Francisco Liriano and the Detroit Tigers according to Rich Dubroff of BaseballPress.com. It is simply a day off for Davis, who had started at first over the last 16 games for Baltimore as Dubroff reports Davis will be back in […]

Logan Morrison Drives In Three

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Logan Morrison had a big game against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, going 2-for-5 with a homer, two runs, and three RBI. Morrison got off to a brutally slow start with his new team this season but he's starting to show signs of life at the plate over the past week, […]

Shohei Ohtani Exits with Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani was removed from Friday's game with what was diagnosed as a mild left ankle sprain. He is considered day-to-day for now. Ohtani hit a home run earlier in the game on a 97 mile per hour heater from Luis Severino. He is scheduled to pitch on Tuesday against […]

Shohei Ohtani to Hit Fifth on Friday

Los Angeles Angels DH Shohei Ohtani is in Friday's lineup, hitting fifth and serving as the DH against Luis Severino and the Yankees. Ohtani has moved up in the order, as he was originally hitting eighth on days that he was in the lineup. If this new spot sticks, he will have slightly more value […]

Matt Davidson Hits Two Home Runs Versus Royals

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson clubbed a pair of home runs Thursday versus the Kansas City Royals. Davidson has been a boom-or-bust player all year and now has seven home runs on the year. Davidson is hitting .225 on the year. Unless you are seeking power and can deal with a poor batting […]

Nelson Cruz Collects Three Hits Wednesday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI singles as the Mariners beat the White Sox 4-3. Cruz's active day a the plate raised his batting average up to .268 after the game, and he now has nine runs driven in through only 14 games played this season. Cruz […]

Victor Martinez Limited For Next Three Games

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will be available to pinch hit, but not much else, as the Tigers will be spending the next three games in a National League ballpark. The veteran slugger does not play a defensive position, and will therefore be a non-factor from a fantasy perspective. It's not a bad time […]

Omar Narvaez, Trayce Thompson Starting Wednesday

With the Chicago White Sox giving catcher Welington Castillo and designated hitter Matt Davidson an off day, catcher Omar Narvaez and outfielder Trayce Thompson get starts. Neither Narvaez nor Thompson have started well this season. Narvaez is hitting a meager .160 with zero home runs in 30 plate appearances. Thompson is hitting just .167 in […]

Luis Valbuena, Rene Rivera Starting Wednesday

The Los Angeles Angels will start first baseman Luis Valbuena and catcher Rene Rivera Wednesday. Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani receives an off day after pitching Tuesday night and catcher Martin Maldonado gets a rest after catching three straight days. Rivera has never registered a hit against Astros starter Justin Verlander in seven plate appearances but […]

Max Stassi, Derek Fisher Starting for Astros Wednesday

The Houston Astros are sitting catcher Brian McCann and designated hitter Evan Gattis on Wednesday. Starting in their place are catcher Max Stassi and outfielder Derek Fisher. Stassi has been hitting well so far in 2018 and currently has a .294 batting average with two home runs, five runs and seven RBI in 40 plate […]

Victor Martinez Sitting on Tuesday

With the Detroit Tigers playing in a National League park on Tuesday, designated hitter Victor Martinez is not in the lineup. It's likely that Martinez is limited to pinch-hitting duties until Friday when the Tigers play another American League team in the Orioles. Martinez has been decent to start the year, hitting .258 with home […]

Rays And Orioles Postponed Tuesday

Tuesday’s game between the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays has been postponed due to bad weather. The game will be made up as a doubleheader on May 12. Make sure to adjust your lineups accordingly.

Evan Gattis Not In Lineup Tuesday Amidst Slump

Houston Astros catcher/designated hitter Evan Gattis is mired in a 9-for-58 (.155) slump heading into the final week of April. Gattis put together a few productive games straight out of the gate to start the season but has struggled ever since. He is now hitting only .205 for the season and has only two extra-base […]

Kendrys Morales, Randal Grichuk Sitting On Tuesday

For the fantasy owners of Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Kendrys Morales and outfielder Randal Grichuk, make sure they’re on your bench on Tuesday because they’ll be riding the pine for the real game. For Morales, it’s likely just a routine day off after he just returned from a hamstring injury on Friday. For Grichuk, […]

Matt Davidson Dropped To Seventh In White Sox Order Monday

Stuck in a major slump, Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson has been moved down to the No. 7 spot Monday evening. Davidson regularly is the team’s DH, but will play third base Monday. Davidson has five home runs on the year but only 12 overall in 50 at-bats. He is fun to ride […]

Albert Pujols Gets Day Off on Sunday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols is out of the lineup on Sunday. It is the first day off of the season for the 37-year-old. Shohei Ohtani is the designated hitter on Sunday, hitting fourth. Luis Valbuena will start at first. Expect to see Pujols, who is hitting .267 with four home runs, back […]
