Kyle Higashioka Homers, Drives In Three

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka had a big day at the plate Thursday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored. With Gary Sanchez back in the fold, Higashioka should not be on any fantasy rosters, but he's put together a decent season with a .659 OPS and […]

DJ LeMahieu In Midst Of Long Home Run Drought
