Cole Foster Breaks Out Of Cold Stretch With Three-Hit Game

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Cole Foster broke out of an extended slump with a big three-hit game Thursday evening. The former third-round pick tallied two doubles, one home run, and brought in six runs. This is a great sign, as he was carrying a poor .102/.224/.204 slash line through 13 games in June prior […]

Champ or Chump: Jake McCarthy and Heliot Ramos Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

Mookie Betts fractured his left wrist on Sunday, leaving fantasy managers scrambling for a replacement. If you're using Betts in the middle infield, the preferred replacement is David Hamilton. Hamilton bizarrely lost playing time so the Red Sox could play center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela (four Outs Above Average) as a terrible shortstop (-6 OAA), but […]

San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (elbow) will make his next minor-league rehab appearance in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday.
