Mitch Haniger Held Without A Hit

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger didn't look like himself during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Despite a rough day at the plate, Haniger is […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly shown interest in acquiring Kennedy. This season, Kennedy has a 2.59 ERA and 33/7 K/BB […]

Joc Pederson Struggles On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson was unable to get much going at the plate during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. In fact, Pederson went 0-for-5 at the plate versus lefty Matt Moore. To be fair, Pederson does not hit left pitching well, so this wasn't an ideal matchup for him. He has already shown […]

However, he finally had something go his way during Thursday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Matt Moore in the fourth inning.

Donovan Walton Recalled, Yohan Ramirez Optioned

Seattle Mariners infielder Donovan Walton has been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. He is slashing .206/.254/.365 with a pair of home runs over 63 at-bats this season.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Knocks In Two Runs

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa appears to be breaking out of his little slump at the plate. On Thursday, he went 1-for-5 with two RBI during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Obviously, it wasn't a great outing at the plate, but at least he knocked in two runs. The Rangers will certainly take […]

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez put together one of his better performances on Thursday. He went 3-for-4 with one RBI, and a triple during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Texas Rangers outfielder David Dahl has been one of the few batters showing up for this offense recently. On Thursday, Dahl went 1-for-3 with two RBI during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

That'll move his record to an ugly 2-10 […]

Will Fuller A Boom-or-Bust WR In 2021

Despite that, he finished with 53 receptions, 879 yards, and eight touchdowns in his final season with the Houston Texans. He […]

DeVante Parker Could See Less Targets

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker put together a fairly average year in 2020, but it wasn't all his fault. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa struggled to get the ball downfield, which is likely why Parker saw his stats decrease. Parker finished with a 61.2 catch percentage last season, which was the second-best of his career. Although, […]

Kris Bryant Unlikely To Play Wednesday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) is unlikely to be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
