Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki was 2-for-3 with a solo homer during Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He also accounted for half of the Braves hits in the game. Suzuki is slashing .269/.328/.439 on the season with 10 homers and 42 RBI. It is not terrible production from behind the plate, but […]

Sean Newcomb Has Another Short Outing

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb went 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits in a 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He also issued five walks. Newcomb has really struggled as of late which is evidenced by an 8.15 ERA through his past five starts. The 25-year-old had a strong […]

Rick Porcello Rebounds On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starter Rick Porcello allowed one run on two hits through five innings in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. Porcello struck out five batters while walking one en route to his 16th win of the season. This was a nice bounce-back performance from the 29-year-old, as Porcello had a 5.11 ERA […]

Steve Pearce Drives In Three Runs On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce was 3-for-4 at the plate with three RBI, a walk, and a strikeout in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. He started his Red Sox career on a tear but has cooled down in the weeks since, so Tuesday's performance was a nice revitalization. He has a […]

Ryan Borucki Pitches Decent In Losing Effort On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays starter Ryan Borucki took the loss on Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, but it was more due to the Jays invisible offense than his performance. Borucki went six innings, surrendering two runs on three hits. He walked two batters while striking out five in the 4-0 loss. Borucki has been […]

Rafael Devers Activated Off Of Disabled List

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was activated off of the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday afternoon. Devers had missed a couple of weeks with a hamstring strain. A trendy breakout pick coming into the season, the 21-year-old has heartily disappointed those fantasy owners who spent a draft pick on him. Devers has a […]

Nate Schmidt Suspended 20 Games For PED Violation

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt was handed a 20-game suspension for violating the NHL's Performance Enhancing Substances Program. A microscopic amount of a banned substance was found in his system, and he vehemently denies that he intentionally took any performance enhancers. Schmidt will still be able to attend training camp with the team, but […]

Matt Davidson Smacks Walk-Off Homer To Down Tigers

Chicago White Sox slugger Matt Davidson crushed a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Detroit Tigers 4-2 on Monday night. Davidson is in the midst of a scorching hot streak that has seen him carry a .423 average with two homers and eight RBI over his past seven […]

Reynaldo Lopez Stellar Against Tigers On Monday

Chicago White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez went seven innings, allowing one run on four hits, in Monday's 4-2 comeback win over the Detroit Tigers. He had six strikeouts with zero walks in the no-decision. Lopez has now tossed back-to-back quality starts and has actually managed to allow two runs or fewer in 15 of his […]

Teoscar Hernandez Drives In Lone Blue Jays Run On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was 1-for-3 at the plate with an RBI in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Hernandez started the season at a scorching pace but has really cooled off in the months since. He has an alarming strikeout rate which sits at over 30% of his at-bats. He […]

Johan Camargo Reaches Base Four Times On Monday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 2-for-3 with two walks on Monday night. The 24-year-old now has a .375 average with two homers and eight RBI through his past 15 games. Camargo is still criminally under-owned on almost all fantasy sites. He is up to a .278 average for the season with 15 homers […]

Ozzie Albies Homers In Loss

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies hit his 22nd homer of the season during Monday's 8-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. It was just Albies' second homer since July 11.

Touki Toussaint Average On Monday

Atlanta Braves starter Touki Toussaint allowed three runs on four hits through 4 2/3 innings in an 8-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. He struck out six batters while walking two.

Ian Kinsler Plates Three Runs On Monday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Ian Kinsler was 2-for-5 at the plate with three RBI on Monday night in an 8-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. This continues a recent surge from Kinsler which has seen him bat .308 with a homer and 10 RBI through 19 games with the Red Sox. While Kinsler's season […]

Nathan Eovaldi Performs Well In Shortened Start

Boston Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi rebounded nicely on Monday night, as he tossed 3 1/3 scoreless innings while surrendering only two hits in the Red Sox's 8-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Xander Bogaerts Drives In Two Runs On Monday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was 1-for-5 at the plate on Monday, but he made his only hit count as he tagged a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning. Bogaerts is now up to 88 RBI on the year, one off of his career high which he set in 2016. He […]

Dansby Swanson Batting .314 Over Past 15 Games

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 2-for-3 with a solo homer on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Swanson has definitely rediscovered the pop in his bat as six of his 14 home runs this season have come in his past 18 games. The former first-overall pick is unquestionably having the best season of his […]

Kevin Gausman Pitches Well In No-Decision

Atlanta Braves starter Kevin Gausman went six innings on Saturday night, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits. He struck out four batters and did not issue a walk. If not for Charlie Culberson's error in the fifth inning (which cashed two unearned runs), perhaps Gausman could have had an even better fate. Regardless, […]

Justin Smoak Homers For Fourth Straight Game

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Justin Smoak homered for his fourth straight game on Saturday night. Smoak belted a two-run shot off of Miami Marlins reliever Tayron Guerrero in the ninth inning, but it was not enough as the Jays still lost 6-3. This is a fantastic stretch for Smoak, as he was falling off a […]

Marco Estrada Continues To Be Terrible

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada imploded again on Saturday night. The Miami Marlins tagged him for six runs on eight hits in just 4 1/3 innings. Estrada struck out a single batter while walking three. Estrada has allowed less than three runs only once in his last seven starts. During that timeframe, he has […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Goes Deep On Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had a triple and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. After a dismal offensive start to the season, Bradley has really picked it up at the plate. In his past 30 games, the 28-year-old has a .291 average to go along […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Strikes Out 12 In Return From DL

James Paxton Returns From DL, Starting Saturday

Seattle Mariners ace James Paxton (arm) will return to the mound on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. Paxton has been out since August 14 when he took a hard comebacker off of his left forearm.

Pat Elflein Activated Off Of PUP List

Minnesota Vikings starting center Pat Elflein (ankle, shoulder) was activated off of the PUP list on Saturday morning. He is expected to be at practice Sunday, but he will still be unavailable for Week 1 of the regular season. Regardless, this is a massive step in the right direction for a Vikings o-line that has […]

Marcell Ozuna Back With Cardinals After DL Stint

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (shoulder) was activated off of the 10-day disabled list on Saturday morning. With the rosters expanding, it only made sense to activate him, even if he is currently limited in what he can do. Tyler O'Neill has been fantastic in the Cardinals outfield, so there is no immediate rush […]

Daniel Norris Activated Off Of Disabled List, Starting Saturday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Daniel Norris was activated off of the 60-day disabled list on Saturday afternoon. Norris has been out of commission since undergoing core muscle surgery in May. He will jump back into the starting rotation and make his return on Saturday against the New York Yankees. He has a 5.87 ERA on […]

Andrew McCutchen Leading Off In Yankees Debut

Newly acquired New York Yankees outfielder Andrew McCutchen will be batting leadoff and starting in right field in his Yankees debut on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers.

Johan Camargo Cranks Solo Shot on Friday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 2-for-3 at the plate with a solo homer on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Camargo is now batting .278 on the season with 15 home runs and 64 RBI. He was exceptional in August, as he had a sizzling .327 average during the month. He has a 36.2% […]

Anibal Sanchez Hurls Another Strong Start

Atlanta Braves starter Anibal Sanchez had another solid performance on Friday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves ended up dropping the game 3-2, but it was no fault of Sanchez as he tossed 5 1/3 innings allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits. He only walked a single batter and struck out six. […]

Ken Giles Picks Up 19th Save Of Season

Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles continued his stretch of dominance on Friday night against the Miami Marlins. Giles allowed two baserunners but left them both stranded as he grabbed his 19th save of 2018. While the 27-year-old has an inflated 5.62 ERA on the season, it is misleading as most of the runs have […]
