Spencer Dinwiddie Could Join Mavericks

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie could be headed to a new organization over the offseason. The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in signing Dinwiddie in free agency. Dinwiddie is recovering from a partially torn ACL in his right knee, but said he'd likely return to Brooklyn. However, he wants a deal in the range of […]

Nicolo Melli Leaving NBA For Italy

Dallas Mavericks forward Nicolo Melli is leaving the NBA and signing a three-year deal with Olimpia Milano in Italy. This is not shocking considering the two sides were close to a deal earlier in the week. Melli played for both the New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks during the 2020-2021 season. He averaged 3.0 points, […]

Dansby Swanson Has Three-Hit Game Versus Pirates

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is beginning to heat up at the plate as the All-Star break quickly approaches. On Wednesday, Swanson went 3-for-5 with one double, one RBI, and one walk in the blowout victory. His slash line doesn't show it, but Swanson has been solid at the plate over the last few weeks. […]

Austin Riley Collects Two Hits In Win

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley looked sharp at the plate during Wednesday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two walks in the blowout victory. Riley has been overlooked at times because of how stacked the Braves lineup has been, but has carried his weight. Assuming he continues hitting like […]

Brooks Raley To IL, Ralph Garza Jr. Recalled

Houston Astros relief pitcher Brooks Raley has been placed on the injured list due to health and safety protocols. The lefty reliever has not pitched in four days since recording his second save of the season. He has a 5.93 ERA in 30 1/3 innings this season, so he won't be a fantasy asset even […]

Jordan Holloway Optioned To Minors

Miami Marlins pitcher Jordan Holloway has been optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday. It's not a shocking move considering he did throw over four innings during Wednesday's contest. Holloway was excellent, tossing 4 1/3 scoreless innings and struck out six batters. Holloway has struggled as a starter, but appears to be a legit option out […]

David Price Could Be Stretched Out On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Price has not been used out of the bullpen for long outings this season. In fact, his longest outing of the year was 2 2/3 innings, which is obviously not what fantasy managers want to see. The hope is that Price will be able to pitch three innings versus the […]

Eloy Jimenez To Begin Rehab Assignment On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Winston Salem on Friday. He is certainly going to need some time in the minors after missing three months due to a pectoral tear. The hope is that Jimenez is able to join the White Sox by the end of the […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Smacks Homer In Blowout Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has been overshadowed due to how well some of the young stars in the game are playing right now. However, Acuna should not be overlooked and continues to show his excellence. He went 3-for-5 with a home run, one RBI, and one walk in the win over the Pittsburgh […]

Drew Smyly Escapes Trouble In Victory

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly was not sharp on Wednesday but pitched well enough to help get the win for his team. He tossed five innings, allowing nine hits, three earned runs, three walks and four strikeouts. Smyly was able to limit the damage, but this was obviously a below-average outing for him. He'll […]

Joey Gallo Hits A Pair Of Homers

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo has been unbelievable at the plate over the last few weeks. On Wednesday, Gallo smacked a pair of home runs in the loss to the Detroit Tigers. He went 2-for-3 in the game and drew a bases loaded walk as well. Gallo has hit 23 home runs on the season, […]

Kyle Gibson Has Mediocre Outing On Wednesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson did not have much success against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. He tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing eight hits, five earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts. To be fair, three of the runs charged to Gibson were after he exited the game. It wasn't the best way to […]

Lorenzo Cain To Begin Rehab Assignment

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville. He has missed all of June and July while battling a lingering hamstring issue. He'll likely need a handful of games in the minors in order to get his swing back. Hopefully, Cain will be able to return to […]

Carlos Martinez Placed On 10-Day Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (thumb) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He suffered a right thumb sprain while taking an at-bat earlier in the week. The Cardinals have not given a timetable for Martinez, but it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss more than 10 days. Before going down, […]

Trent Thornton Optioned To Minors

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trent Thornton has been optioned to the minors on Wednesday. The 27-year-old righty pitcher will head to Triple-A Buffalo after posting a 4.78 ERA over 37 2/3 innings with the Jays this season. The Jays recently acquired right-hander Trevor Richards, so Thornton was the odd man out. There's a good […]

Lars Nootbaar Recalled On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. He will take the place of Carlos Martinez (thumb) who has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Nootbaar has collected just four hits at the MLB level this season, but shouldn't be written off that fast. He's slashing .310/.426/.524 over […]

Jake Arrieta Heads To Injured List

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Manager David Ross claims Arrieta has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue since May. Arrieta was horrendous during his last outing against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. He carries a 6.30 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 74 1/3 innings […]

Julian Merryweather Not Close To A Return

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (oblique) has suffered a setback while increasing his baseball activities, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. He has resumed his throwing program, but doesn't appear close to a return. It's not surprising to see the Jays being cautious with their young arm. He was pitching extremely well during his […]

Trevor Rosenthal Won't Pitch In 2021

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal (hip) will miss the entire 2021 season, according to manager Bob Melvin. The veteran reliever will undergo hip surgery to repair a torn labrum. Rosenthal has not pitched for the A's this season since he underwent thoracic outlet surgery in early April. He signed a one-year deal worth over […]

Yoshitomo Tsutsugo Sent To The Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo has been outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City. He is no longer on the 40-man roster, but will remain with the organization. The veteran outfielder was hitting .156 with a .256 on-base percentage over 103 at-bats with the Dodgers this season. Tsutsugo has struggled to find much consistency since joining […]

Orlando Arcia Hits Homer On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia was one of the best hitters in the minor leagues this season. Recently, the Braves decided it was time to give him another shot at the MLB level. Arcia went 2-for-3 with a home run during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears the Braves are going to […]

Ian Anderson Allows One Run In Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was fairly wild on Tuesday, but was able to keep it in check. He went five innings, allowing five hits, one earned run, three walks, and four strikeouts. Anderson ended up getting the no-decision, while the Braves dropped this contest 2-1 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Anderson has a 2.62 […]

David Dahl Has Three-Hit Game On Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder David Dahl was slapping the ball all over the park during Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He went 3-for-4 with 2 RBI during Tuesday's 10-5 victory. It was a nice outburst from the Rangers lineup that has been inconsistent throughout most of the season. Dahl is beginning to heat up at […]

Dane Dunning Shines In Win Over Tigers

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning pitched arguably his best game of the season against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. He went five innings, one earned run, one hit, and six strikeouts in the 10-5 victory. His only hit allowed was a Robbie Grossman home run, but Dunning also allowed a walk as well. Besides […]

Dansby Swanson Collects Two Doubles In Win

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has not produced the prettiest stat line, but appears to be coming around at the plate. He went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI, and one walk during Sunday's win over the Miami Marlins. The 2021 season has not been kind to Swanson, but at least he's finally improved his […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Hits Homer In Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a key contributor to the win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI during Sunday's close battle with Miami. Acuna hit a two-run home run off Zach Thompson in the third inning. Then he tied the game in the […]

Charlie Morton Gets No-Decision Versus Marlins

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton was cruising through five innings versus the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Sadly, he ran into the red-hot Adam Duvall who took Morton deep to give the Marlins the lead. Morton tossed 5 1/3 innings, five hits allowed, four earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts. He ended up getting […]

Nate Lowe Records Two Hits In Loss

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe was one of the few bright spots for this offense on Sunday. He went 2-for-4, which was solid for a team that collectively finished with five hits. The Seattle Mariners pitching staff held Texas in check, but at least Lowe put together a decent game. Lowe is hitting .258 […]

Mike Foltynewicz Allows Two Homers In Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz had trouble keeping the ball in the ballpark during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went seven innings, allowing four hits, four earned runs with five strikeouts. At first glance, Foltynewicz didn't have a horrible outing, but the long ball cost him the game. He gave up two […]

Jonathan Villar Activated, Albert Almora Optioned

New York Mets infielder Jonathan Villar (calf) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. As expected, Villar will be ready to play in time for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader. This season, Villar is hitting .246/.333/.410 with six homers and eight stolen bases through 183 at-bats. Obviously not a great stat […]
