Justin Turner Returns To Lineup To Face Giants

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 6

It's hard to believe that most teams are nearing the halfway point of their seasons, but let's not forget that point sits at only 30 games. 30 games is still a small sample of performance for most players, and it's worth taking a look at some strange numbers from this season so far to illustrate […]

Max Muncy Goes Deep On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy was 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and two runs scored during Sunday's 11-3 win over the Colorado Rockies.
