Travis Shaw Resting On Monday Against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (rest) will not play in Monday's matchup against Jose Quintana and the Chicago Cubs.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun has moved from fifth in the lineup back to third. Braun has had very good success hitting fifth in the lineup, hitting .405 in 27 at-bats. Braun has been heating up as of late with six hits in his last two games and looks to continue his success back in […]

Lately, it seems like every day another fantasy-relevant player suffers an injury.

Travis Shaw Removed From Game For Lack Of Effort On Grounder

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw was removed by Brewers manager Craig Counsell after not running a grounder to the pitcher.
