Jose Marmolejos Drives In A Couple Wednesday

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jose Marmolejos drove in two runs Wednesday against the Houston Astros, going 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored. Marmolejos has played in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma, going 5-for-22 with one home run. He provides plenty of pop against righties, but he's only rosterable in very […]

Jarred Kelenic Drives In Two Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic has failed to live up to the hype early in his career, but he had a solid game Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI, and a run scored in an 8-5 victory over the rival Houston Astros. Despite plenty of bumps in the road, Kelenic has […]

Kyle Seager Reaches Four Times Wednesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager reached base four times Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored against the Houston Astros. Seager provides plenty of power and RBI, but it's usually his batting average and on-base skills that hurt his value. If he continues to walk with this frequency, his floor elevates […]

J.P. Crawford Hits Two-Run Shot

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford added a two-run home run Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with a walk in an 8-5 win over the Houston Astros. Crawfords seventh home run of the season came with two outs in the top of the ninth inning off reliever Blake Taylor. Crawford has now hit safely in eight of his […]

Paul Sewald Blows The Save Tuesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald was unable to close the door against the division-leading Houston Astros Tuesday, picking up his fourth blown save of the season in a 5-4 10-inning loss. Sewald gave up two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out two batters in one inning of work. The cracks […]

Logan Gilbert Inefficient Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert was decently effective against the division-leading Houston Astros Tuesday, allowing just two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five batters, but a high-pitch count limited him to just 4 1/3 innings. He took a no-decision in the contest. This makes two consecutive strong outings in […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Underwhelms Against Rays

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez faced a tough task Tuesday, and it showed, as he allowed six runs on eight hits and no walks in 3 2/3 innings against the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays. He struck out three batters and took the loss, dropping his record to 11-8. Before this contest, Rodriguez had […]

Alex Verdugo Adds Three Hits Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo had three hits in five at-bats against the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday, though it wasn't enough to avoid a 12-7 loss to the division leaders. Verdugo now has three multi-hit affairs in his first six September games, so it seems that his dreadful stretch of defense isn't affecting his […]

Danny Santana Homers Off Bench Against Rays

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana hit his fifth home run of the year Tuesday, going 1-for-2 with the solo shot after coming off the bench in a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Santana doesn't stand to see much playing time going forward, and even his power-speed potential doesn't make him a […]

Hunter Renfroe Stays Hot With A Double Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a double against the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday, continuing what has been a torrid stretch. Renfroe now has hits in nine of his last 11 games, with six multi-hit affairs in that span. He's slashing .345/.387/.690 with five home runs over his last 15 games, elevating […]

Bobby Dalbec Homers Twice Off Bench

Boston Red Sox infielder Bobby Dalbec didn't start today's game, but came on late to relieve Rafael Devers at third base after the Tampa Bay Rays took a commanding lead.

Kyle Schwarber Reaches Three Times Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber reached base three times against the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored while playing first base. In 22 games and 80 at-bats with Boston, Schwarber has slashed .325/.460/.550. He's settled into the two-spot in the lineup on a near-daily basis, giving him […]

Paolo Espino Disappoints Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Paolo Espino gave up five runs on seven hits and two walks to the Atlanta Braves in five innings Tuesday. He struck out seven batters, which ties his season-high, but this outing still registers as a disappointment for the right-hander. Espino had allowed three runs or less in three straight starts […]

Yadiel Hernandez Hits Three-Run Shot

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez hit a three-run home run off Braves reliever Tyler Matzek Tuesday that briefly tied the game at five before Atlanta eventually took the contest by a score of 8-5.

Juan Soto Reaches Five Times Tuesday

Alcides Escobar Scores Two Runs Tuesday

Washington Nationals infielder Alcides Escobar scored two more runs Tuesday, going 2-for-5 with a double in an 8-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Escobar was once again batting second in the lineup, and now has a five-game hitting streak. He's hit four extra-base hits and scored nine runs in those five games. Escobar is something […]

Jonathan Arauz Homers Again Monday

Boston Red Sox infielder Jonathan Arauz hit his third home run of the season Monday, going 1-for-5 with two runs scored in an 11-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Arauz has gotten plenty of playing time filling in for Kike Hernandez and Xander Bogaerts while they've been out with COVID, but he stands to […]

Chris Sale Victimized By Bad Defense

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale only lasted 3 2/3 innings Monday, allowing five runs (one earned) on 10 hits and one walk. He struck out six batters. The Boston defense made three errors in this game, contributing to a high pitch count and abbreviated outing for Sale. Fantasy managers can disregard this outing, […]

Kyle Finnegan Earns Two-Inning Relief Win

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan earned the win in relief Monday, throwing the eighth and ninth innings in a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets. He allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. He now has five wins on the season, and has allowed a grand total of four […]

Patrick Corbin Scatters 11 Hits Across Seven Innings

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin went seven innings against the New York Mets Monday, allowing three runs on 11 hits and a walk. He struck out four batters and took a no-decision in the contest. This is Corbin's second quality start since July 17, and the volume of hits suggests he was lucky to […]

Abraham Toro Drives In Two Monday

Seattle Mariners infielder Abraham Toro drove in two runs Monday against his former team, the Houston Astros, going 2-for-3 with a double and a walk. Toro has been outstanding in his 37 games in Seattle, slashing .314/.394/.457 in 140 at-bats. He's batting fifth in the lineup on an everyday basis, and he has the ability […]
