Adam Ottavino Records Sixth Save Friday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino pitched the bottom of the 10th inning Friday against the Oakland Athletics, allowing one hit on route to his sixth save of the year.

Matt Barnes Blows Fourth Save Friday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes blew his fourth save of the year against the Oakland Athletics Friday, allowing one run on an Elvis Andrus home run in the bottom of the ninth. He went on to earn the cheap relief win when the Red Sox won in 10 innings, improving his season record […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Allows One Hit Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez came through in a big way Friday, allowing just one hit and two walks in six innings against the Oakland Athletics. He struck out six batters.

Kyle Seager Drives In Two Runs Thursday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager drove in two runs Thursday, going 2-for-5 against the Toronto Blue Jays. He now has 48 RBI on the year. Seager has been a less-than-ideal fantasy asset for some time now, with a .661 OPS over his last 30 games, but he continues to come up big with runners […]

Mitch Haniger Scores Two Runs Thursday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger came around to score two runs against the Toronto Blue Jays Thursday, going 2-for-4 with a walk. Haniger has now scored 52 runs on the season.

Marwin Gonzalez Has Three-Hit Day Thursday

Boston Red Sox utility man Marwin Gonzalez stepped in at shortstop Thursday, and had himself a nice game, going 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, and two runs scored. Gonzalez is most useful for his positional eligibility, as he has played at every position except pitcher, catcher, and center field this season. He doesn't offer […]

Paul Sewald Strikes Out Four Batters In First Save

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald picked up his first save of the year Thursday afternoon, recording all four of his outs via strikeout around a hit and a walk.

Christian Vazquez Sits For Connor Wong Thursday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez is out of the lineup Thursday, as Connor Wong draws the start against the Kansas City Royals. Wong will bat ninth, and pair up with starter Nathan Eovaldi.
