Xander Bogaerts Homers, Reaches Three Times Saturday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks against the Tampa Bay Rays Saturday. The homer was his 16th of the year, and was his first since July 11. It's also only his third since June 15, when his power production began to slow. Despite not living […]

Nathan Eovaldi Takes Sixth Loss Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has been the ace of the staff with Chris Sale still on the way back from Tommy John surgery, but he was not at his best Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Eovaldi allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings. […]

Dylan Moore Swipes 16th Base Saturday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore started Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers batting ninth and playing left field. He went 1-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base before being lifted for a pinch-hitter. The acquisition of Abraham Toro has clearly cut into Moore's playing time, and it appears he may sit against many […]

Kyle Seager Hits 22nd Homer Saturday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager continued his power surge Saturday, smacking a two-run home run off Texas Rangers starting pitcher Taylor Hearn in the first inning of a 5-4 extra-inning loss. He also singled in four at-bats. Seager has been outstanding in his last seven games, slashing .280/.419/.760 with four home runs and 11 […]

Ty France Goes Deep Saturday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France went 1-for-5 with a home run against the Texas Rangers Saturday. It's his 10th homer of the year and his first since July 18. France has continued to bat third in the Seattle lineup, but he's been somewhat disappointing with his power production, leading to his .426 slugging percentage […]

Diego Castillo Blows First Save Chance For Seattle

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Diego Castillo came on in the bottom of the 10th inning with a chance for his first save as a member of the Mariners Saturday, but instead he allowed a two-run home run to Jonah Heim that left him with a blown save and a loss. He did not record an […]

Tyler Anderson Solid In Mariners Debut

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Tyler Anderson pitched well in his team debut, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in 5 1/3 innings against the Texas Rangers. He struck out three batters and allowed one home run. He took a no-decision in the 5-4 extra-inning loss. This start was standard fare for Anderson, […]

Carlos Carrasco Sharp In Season Debut

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was strong in his first outing of the season Friday, allowing just one run on three hits and a walk in four innings against the Cincinnati Reds. The lone run came on his first pitch of the game as he was blitzed by Jonathan India for a home […]

Jonathan Arauz Called Up For The Start Friday

Boston Red Sox infielder Jonathan Arauz was activated from the taxi squad Friday to start at third base against the Tampa Bay Rays for the injured Rafael Devers. He batted ninth, and went 2-for-3 with two singles and a walk. With Michael Chavis moving on to Pittsburgh, Arauz has an opportunity to stick with the […]

Xander Bogaerts Scores Two Runs Friday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts scored two of Boston's three runs against the Tampa Bay Rays Friday, going 2-for-5 with two singles. Bogaerts has not enjoyed a very strong July, slashing just .227/.294/.373 with two home runs in 75 at-bats. His OPS has slipped to .884, the lowest it's been since April 13. In […]

Rafael Devers Does Not Appear In Friday's Game

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (quad) did not appear in Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, and has not played since leaving the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. Alex Cora has downplayed the quadriceps issue as a minor one, but fantasy managers will not be relieved until […]

Hirokazu Sawamura Returns From IL Friday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hirokazu Sawamura returned from the injured list Friday, and threw a scoreless inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. He allowed a hit and two walks and struck out one batter. It was a shaky outing for the right-hander who has been quite strong across 39 appearances with a 2.79 ERA, […]

Martin Perez Disappoints Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez had a disappointing outing against the Tampa Bay Rays Friday, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk in four innings. He struck out three batters and allowed three home runs. He was saddled with the loss, dropping his record on the year to 7-7. Perez has […]

Kyle Finnegan Earns Second Save Friday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan appears to be the choice as the closer for the closer role with Brad Hand in Toronto, as he locked down his second save of the year Friday. Just one day after earning his first career save, Finnegan allowed just one hit while striking out none against the Chicago […]

Paolo Espino Earns Victory Friday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Paolo Espino was not originally scheduled to make the start Friday, but was moved up when Jon Lester was moved to the St. Louis Cardinals. Espino responded with 5 1/3 solid innings against the Chicago Cubs, allowing just one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six batters. […]

Luis Garcia Hits First Homer Friday

Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia batted fifth and played second base against the Chicago Cubs Friday, and he went 1-for-4 with his first home run of the season, a no-doubter off starter Jake Arietta in the second inning. Garcia figures to see plenty of playing time the rest of the way for the Nationals, making […]

Josh Bell Continues Home Run Binge

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell was one of the last men standing along with Juan Soto after the trade deadline dust settled Friday, and he continued his hot streak against the Chicago Cubs. Bell went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run, his 17th of the season. He's homered five times in […]

Paul Sewald Earns Eighth Hold Friday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald seemed momentarily like he might slot into the closer job after the Houston Astros acquired Kendall Graveman days before the trade deadline, but Seattle went on to add Diego Castillo from the Rays, pushing Sewald back into a setup role. He fulfilled that role Friday, striking out two Texas […]

Abraham Toro Has Three More Hits Friday

Seattle Mariners infielder Abraham Toro may not have been who Mariners fans wanted the team to acquire at the trade deadline, but he's made an immediate impact. While his four-game home run streak was ended Friday, Toro still went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored. He now has a five-game hit streak, and […]

Jarred Kelenic Homers, Drives In Four Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic provided much of the offense Friday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs scored. His three-run shot off Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard was just his third of the season. Kelenic spoke of making some adjustments to his stance coming out of the break, and […]

Logan Gilbert Earns Fifth Win Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert continued to establish himself as a solid major league pitcher as he earned his fifth win of the season Friday against the Texas Rangers. Facing a less than formidable lineup with the loss of Joey Gallo, Gilbert gave up four runs on six hits and a walk with six […]

Patrick Corbin Takes No-Decision Thursday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin got plenty of run support Thursday night, leaving game two of the doubleheader against the Phillies in position for a win, but an unfortunate bullpen meltdown left him with just a no-decision. Corbin wasn't especially effective himself, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk in five innings. […]

Yadiel Hernandez Drives In Two In Game Two

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez started game two of Thursday's doubleheader, going 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored against the Philadelphia Phillies. With the Nationals firmly in sell mode, playing time could open up for the lefty swinger, who has two homers and two steals in his 90 at-bats this season. […]

Ryan Zimmerman Reaches Four Times In Loss

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman started Thursday's nightcap against the Philadelphia Phillies, batting third and playing first base. He went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, and two runs scored. As it stands, Zimmerman has only been in the lineup against left-handed starters, but with so many players on the move that could change. […]

Juan Soto Adds Three Hits In Nightcap Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 3-for-5 with three singles and two runs scored in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. He was also caught stealing. He's been successful in just six of 12 attempts this season. Soto remains wildly effective at the plate as usual, but his fantasy value is […]

Josh Harrison Has Four Extra-Base Hits Across Doubleheader

Washington Nationals utility man Josh Harrison was the offensive star Thursday, collecting a home run, three doubles, a single, two RBI, and two runs across eight at-bats in a doubleheader split against the Philadelphia Phillies. The home run came in the nightcap, a two-run shot off reliever Connor Brogdon. It was his sixth of the […]

Max Scherzer Dazzles In Final Nationals Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Max Scherzer made his final start in a Washington uniform Thursday afternoon and went out in classic fashion, throwing a gem to earn his eighth win of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies. Scherzer allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out five batters. He brings […]

Kyle Finnegan Saves First Career Game

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan pitched a clean inning in game one of the team's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday, earning his first career save in the process.

Yan Gomes Homers In Return From IL

Washington Nationals catcher Yan Gomes made his return from the injured list Thursday and went 2-for-3 with his ninth home run of the season in the first game of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies.
