Ezequiel Tovar Called Up To MLB Roster

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar has reportedly been called up to the big league level. There were rumors that Tovar would join the team before the end of the season. I guess those were true as Tovar is expected to join the Rockies roster on Thursday. He slashed .317/.385/.541 with 14 homers, 49 RBI and […]

Santiago Espinal Removed From Wednesday's Contest

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal (side) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 27-year-old was forced out of this game due to left side discomfort. The severity of the injury is unknown at the moment. Although, it's worth noting that side and oblique issues do have a tendency to linger. […]

Nico Hoerner Remains Out Against Fish

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Nico Hoerner (triceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. This will be Hoerner's ninth straight game starting on the bench due to his injury, and fantasy managers have to be wondering if he'll land on the injured list to close out the 2022 season at […]

Jorge Mateo Isn't In Wednesday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo isn't in the team's lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Matt Manning. Mateo is batting .220 with a .267 on-base percentage, 13 home runs, and 30 stolen bases in 484 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Gunnar Henderson moving to shortstop with Ramon […]

Francisco Lindor Hits Go-Ahead Grand Slam Tuesday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had a huge game at the plate in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers. Lindor went 2-for-3 with a single, a seventh-inning go-ahead grand slam, and a walk. The 28-year-old has put together a nice bounce-back season, slashing .271/.345/.453 with 25 home runs, 99 RBI, and 16 stolen bases. […]

Trea Turner Back In Game 2 Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (back) is back at shortstop and is hitting second in the batting order for Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Turner was hit in the back on a throw in Game 1 as a precaution, but it obviously wasn't a serious issue at […]

Trea Turner Exits Game 1 Early Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (back) left the first game of a doubleheader early against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday after he was hit in the back by a throw in the fifth inning. With the Dodgers having already clinched the National League West, it's highly unlikely that Turner will play in the nightcap […]

Marco Luciano Joins Double-A For Postseason

After winning a High-A title, San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano has joined Double-A Richmond for the playoffs. It will allow Luciano to get some extra at-bats after a back injury kept him out for most of the summer. The 21-year-old is the team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and it sets him up […]

Gunnar Henderson Batting Leadoff Against Tigers

Baltimore Orioles rookie infielder Gunnar Henderson is starting at third base and batting leadoff for the first time in his career on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Joey Wentz. Even against a left-handed pitcher, the O's trust the 21-year-old left-handed hitter to bat leadoff. He's impressed so far in his first 64 major-league […]

Thairo Estrada Hits Go-Ahead Homer Monday

San Francisco Giants middle infielder Thairo Estrada had a big game at the plate in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies. Estrada went 3-for-6 with a single, a double, a go-ahead three-run home run in the 10th inning, and a strikeout.

Jon Berti Homers, Steals Two Bases Monday

Miami Marlins utilityman Jon Berti had a great offensive game in Monday's 10-3 win over the Cubs. Berti went 3-for-5 with two singles, a solo home run, two RBI, and two stolen bases. The 32-year-old has provided most of his fantasy value in the form of speed and versatility, slashing .249/.335/.351 with four HR, 26 […]

Amed Rosario Batting .412 In Last Seven Games

Cleveland Guardians shortstop Amed Rosario was great again in Monday's 11-4 win over the Minnesota Twins, recording a pair of hits in four at-bats.
