Kike Hernandez Homers Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez was back in the lineup batting leadoff against the Detroit Tigers after a day off Tuesday, and apparently the rest did him good as he went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk, and two RBI. The homer was his 15th of the year, and he's […]

Alcides Escobar Returns To Lineup Wednesday

Washington Nationals infielder Alcides Escobar returned to the starting lineup Wednesday, batting second and playing shortstop. He had missed the previous for games with a swollen right wrist.

Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia continued to show off his potential Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two solo homers against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger picked up three hits against the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored. It's Haniger's first three-hit game since July 24, which is also the last time he hit a home run, with two of them in that game. Despite a slight drop-off in […]

Logan Gilbert Takes The Loss Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert was saddled with his third loss of the year Wednesday. He allowed three runs on four hits and four walks to the Tampa Bay Rays in five innings while striking out six batters.

Matt Barnes Expected To Be Activated Wednesday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes tested negative for COVID-19 Tuesday evening, and he is expected to be activated from the COVID list in advance of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

James McCann Drives In A Run Tuesday

New York Mets catcher James McCann drove in a run with a double in the top of the ninth inning Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to keep the team from falling 5-4 to the Miami Marlins. It was McCann's only hit in four at-bats before being lifted for a pinch-runner. The Mets are in freefall […]

Jeff McNeil Reaches Three Times, Scores Twice

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil had another strong all-around game Tuesday, going 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and two runs scored.

Kyle Seager Has RBI Streak Broken

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had recorded an RBI in eight straight games entering Tuesday, but unfortunately he could not extend that streak against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Paul Sewald Strikes Out Two In Ninth Hold

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald continued his excellent year Tuesday night, coming on in the eighth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays and striking out two batters in a clean inning to lock up his ninth hold.

Yusei Kikuchi With Another Quality Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi delivered another quality start Tuesday night, giving him 13 on the season in 20 starts. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks in six innings while striking out five Tampa Bay Rays. His only meaningful mistake came on the first pitch of the game, […]

It was his only hit in four at-bats. Renfroe has now homered in back-to-back games after a 10-game […]

J.D. Martinez Breaks Skid With Two-Hit Game

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez had been on an awful skid entering Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers with just one hit in his last five games. Martinez bounced back against his former team, going 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. Fantasy managers are surely counting on Martinez as the fantasy […]

Jarren Duran Swipes Bag From Leadoff Spot

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran led off Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, going 2-for-5 with his first career stolen base. Duran appears poised to play against most right-handed starters, at least until Kyle Schwarber is ready to return from the injured list, and his blazing speed is a game-changer for Boston as well as […]

Patrick Corbin Goes Seven In Loss Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin was fairly effective Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, lasting seven innings while allowing four runs on six hits and a walk. He did yield three home runs, and he struck out eight batters. Corbin now has given up at least four earned runs in his last four starts, […]

Tylor Megill Endures First Career Loss

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill looked nearly invincible in July, but the Miami Marlins managed to touch him up for four runs in the first inning of his first start in August. All in all, Megill allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out […]

Andrew Stevenson Homers As A Pinch-Hitter

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson appeared as a pinch-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies Monday and smacked a game-tying home run in his only at-bat. Stevenson has supplied an unimpressive .612 OPS with three homers and one steal in 128 at-bats as a bench bat this year, and it appears that even the recent trade deadline […]

Carter Kieboom Hits Two-Run Shot

Washington Nationals third baseman Carter Kieboom had a solid day at the plate Monday, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored. It was his first long ball of the year, and came off of newly acquired Phillies reliever Ian Kennedy. A highly touted prospect, Kieboom has struggled in his first stints […]
