Jose Iglesias Pulled From Friday's Game

Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Iglesias (neck) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was 0-for-2 prior to exiting the contest due to neck stiffness. The 32-year-old is considered day-to-day, so hopefully he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. He's hitting a terrific .302/.342/.407 with three home runs and […]

Miguel Rojas Returns Friday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (mouth) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Kyle Gibson, playing shortstop and hitting eighth in the batting order. Rojas lost a tooth in Thursday's game after a collision in the ninth inning, but he won't miss any time. The 33-year-old infielder has given fantasy […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. To Begin Hitting Progression Friday

San Diego Padres general manager AJ Preller said that shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) will begin his hitting progression on Friday. He has been doing more physical activity in the last few weeks and the team will take it week-to-week, increasing his swings and volume to progress towards games. The 23-year-old superstar had another wrist […]

Xander Bogaerts Goes 2-For-4 In Thursday's Loss

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in the team's 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. It was his fifth multi-hit game over his last six outings. The 29-year-old owns a .317/.392/.458 slash line on the year to go along with seven […]

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (finger) was a late scratch from Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. He is currently dealing with a bruised knuckle on his right index finger.

Gavin Lux Hits Fourth Homer

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Gavin Lux hit his fourth home run of the season Thursday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI from the ninth spot in the lineup. Lux has thrived over his last 30 games, slashing .344/.402/.563 with three homers, 14 runs scored, and 10 RBI in that span. His OPS […]

Dansby Swanson Smacks Two-Run Shot

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson got the scoring started Thursday, smashing a two-run home run off of Washington Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez in the first inning of a 5-4 victory.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 14

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Corey Seager To Take Part In Home Run Derby

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager will be the eighth player confirmed to take part in this year's Home Run Derby during All-Star week in Los Angeles. Seager will be the No. 3 seed based on last year's home run totals, and he will face off against Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez in the first […]

Frank Schwindel Activated, Andrelton Simmons To IL

The Chicago Cubs activated first baseman Frank Schwindel (back) from the injured list on Thursday and placed shortstop Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain in a corresponding move.

Padres Being Cautious With Fernando Tatis Jr.

Doctors that have been conferring on the status of San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) are not in total agreement in regards to the next steps of his rehab from a fractured left wrist suffered in the offseason. It's not necessarily a bad thing, The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee writes, but the […]

Jose Iglesias Drives In Six In Win Over Padres

Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Iglesias had a night in the 10-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with his third home run of the season, a career-high six RBI and one run scored. Not known for much of a standout with his bat, Iglesias is now hitting .305/.344/.409 with 31 RBI, […]

There are a plethora of aces at our […]

Blue Jays Fire Manager Charlie Montoyo

The Toronto Blue Jays fired manager Charlie Montoyo on Wednesday, according to sources. Bench coach John Schneider will take over as the club's interim manager for the rest of the season.

Cleveland Guardians shortstop Amed Rosario went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. He doubled twice, recorded two RBI, and scored a run as well. Rosario's now batting a healthy .280 with nine stolen bases, 48 runs, and 27 RBI. However, his four home runs display again that fantasy managers won't get […]

Trevor Story Exits Tuesday's Game Early After HBP

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story (hand) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays with an apparent right-hand injury. He was hit by a pitch in the right hand during the fifth inning and was removed from the game. The 29-year-old was unable to finish his at-bat and was replaced in the […]
