J.P. Crawford Records Three Hits Tuesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford had a nice night at the plate Tuesday, going 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored against the Oakland Athletics. Crawford has been very solid over his past seven games, slashing .308/.333/.423 with three doubles. Crawford doesn't contribute all that much in terms of power or speed, as he […]

Ty France Has Two Hits Tuesday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France went 2-for-4 and drove in a run in Tuesday's matchup against the Oakland Athletics. It was France's first multi-hit game since April 26. Dating back to before his stint on the injured list, France was in a major rut, slashing .113/.217/.151 over his last 15 games. In his two […]

Jarred Kelenic Has Second Career Multi-Hit Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic recorded a couple singles Tuesday, going 2-for-5 with an RBI and a strikeout against the Oakland Athletics. Kelenic had only once previously produced multiple hits in a game, on May 14 when he went 3-for-4 with eight total bases. Now he's produced back-to-back productive evenings after his home run Monday, […]

Rafael Montero Registers Sixth Save

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero recorded his sixth save of the season Tuesday, allowing two baserunners in one inning of work. The only thing more inconsistent than Montero's performance has been his usage, as he has entered as many games in the sixth inning as the ninth of late, and he hasn't had back-to-back […]

Logan Gilbert Has His Best Outing Yet Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert had his best outing of his young career Tuesday, throwing four innings and allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out four Oakland Athletics. Gilbert has slowly been elevating his pitch count, throwing 78 pitches in this start. As he manages to go deeper into […]

Danny Santana Triples Monday

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana has gotten off to quite the start in Beantown, with a homer in each of his first two games, and now a triple in his third. Santana went just 1-for-3 with two strikeouts Tuesday, but over his first three games he's sporting an impressive .846 slugging percentage. He's […]

Yusei Kikuchi Plays Catch, Should Make Next Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (back) was forced to leave his outing early on Monday with cramping in his back, but a day later he appears to be fine. Kikuchi played catch Tuesday afternoon without issue and is in line to make his next scheduled start at home against Texas. It's a favorable matchup […]

Garrett Richards Takes Loss Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Richards didn't have his best stuff Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four batters. It was a struggle to locate his pitches, as only 59 of his 97 on the night were strikes. […]

Alex Verdugo Is Back In Action Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is returning to the starting lineup Tuesday evening against the Atlanta Braves, batting second and playing left field. Verdugo has not started since Friday, when he was removed from the game with a mild left hamstring strain, but he did pinch-hit on Sunday. Verdugo has been excellent all season, […]

Yusei Kikuchi Expected To Make Next Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (back) was forced out of the game Monday after giving up a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh inning. After the game, he stated that he was dealing with cramping, and that he does not consider the issue to be serious. Manager Scott Servais said the team […]

Sam Haggerty Placed On Injured List

Seattle Mariners utility man Sam Haggerty (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with right shoulder inflammation. His spot on the active roster was taken by Ty France. Haggerty is not likely to be rostered in many fantasy leagues, but he has plenty of speed, and has contributed two homers and five steals […]

Kyle Seager Strikes Out Three Times Monday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager didn't manage a hit Monday night, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. Seager has now struck out 45 times in 175 at-bats this year, which comes out to a 25.7 percent strikeout rate. The highest strikeout rate Seager has recorded in a full season is 21.9 percent in 2018. While […]

Ty France Doubles In First Game Back

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France recorded a double in his first game back from the injured list. In his first game action since May 13, France went 1-for-4 with a double and two strikeouts. He batted sixth and played first base. It was encouraging to see France get an extra-base hit, as he had […]

Kyle Lewis Homers, Reaches Base Three Times

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis had a strong night at the plate Monday, going 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks. The home run was Lewis's fourth of the year, and his first extra-base hit since May 7. Lewis has a somewhat disappointing .245/.353/.382 slash line through 102 at-bats on the year, but […]

Jarred Kelenic Hits Second Homer

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic went deep for the second time Monday night, hitting a solo shot off Oakland starter Frankie Montas. Kelenic was 1-for-4 on the night with a walk and two runs scored. Kelenic has not exactly taken the league by storm, with a .564 OPS through 41 at-bats, but he looks perfectly […]

Keynan Middleton Earns Third Save

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Keynan Middleton completed a one-two-three ninth inning Monday night to earn his third save of the season. With Kendall Graveman on the COVID list, Middleton appears to be the next man up for save opportunities. Middleton now has a 3.29 ERA and .80 WHIP through 13 2/3 innings on the year. […]

Yusei Kikuchi Gets Win, Leaves With Trainer

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (undisclosed) picked up the win Monday night, throwing six innings and only allowing one run on four hits and two walks to the Oakland Athletics. The one run came on a Mark Canha solo homer with two out in the third inning. Kikuchi struck out three in the contest. […]

Michael Chavis Optioned To Triple-A

Boston Red Sox second baseman Michael Chavis has been optioned to Triple-A Worcester. It seems this move will correspond with Christian Arroyo's return from the injured list. Chavis has performed decently well in limited time this season, with a .273/.273/.485 slash line through 33 at-bats, but there's no need to hold him on fantasy rosters.

Ty France Will Start Monday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France (forearm) has been activated from the injured list, and will be in the lineup Monday night against the Oakland Athletics. France has been out since May 13 with the injury, and was struggling mightily over the several weeks before. For the season, he has a .229/.333/.367 slash line, and […]

Kyle Lewis Has Two Hits, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis stole his second base of the season Sunday against the San Diego Padres. He also went 2-for-3 in the contest with two singles. It's good to see Lewis contributing in the speed department, but he doesn't have an extra-base hit since May 7. There's plenty of potential here, but Lewis […]

Justin Dunn Allows One Hit In Five Innings Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn showed off his potential yet again on Sunday against the San Diego Padres, allowing one run on just one hit and three walks while striking out four in five innings. The one hit was a solo home run to Fernando Tatis Jr. Dunn has been excellent at limiting base […]

Alex Verdugo Pinch Hits Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (hamstring) pinch-hit in Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies, grouding into a force-out against Archie Bradley in the nith inning. It was Verdugo's first appearance since Friday, when he left the game with a hamstring strain. This appearance is a very good sign that the issue is not a […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Saddled With Third Loss Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez took his third loss of the season Sunday against the Phillies, who blitzed him right from the start for four runs in the first inning. Manager Alex Cora was hoping Rodriguez could get through six innings, but Rodriguez only managed four. He allowed four runs on five hits […]

Rafael Devers Goes Deep Yet Again Sunday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went deep in the top of the ninth inning Sunday, hitting a solo shot off of Phillies reliever Archie Bradley. It was his 13th of the season. Devers is now tied for fourth in the major league home run race, and has been consistently excellent all season. He's […]

Franchy Cordero Launches Monster Home Run

Boston Red Sox outfielder Franchy Cordero hit his first home run of the season Sunday, a 474-foot moon shot off of Phillies starter Zack Wheeler in the top of the eighth inning. Even after the solo homer, Cordero's OPS for the year is a paltry .501, and he is on the roster bubble with Christian […]

Cody Poteet Throws Seven Scoreless Innings

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Cody Poteet was outstanding Sunday afternoon, throwing seven scoreless innings against the New York Mets. Poteet allowed three hits and no walks and struck out four. In doing so, he lowered his ERA for the season to 1.06 and improved his record to 2-0 in three starts. Poteet has come out […]

Christian Arroyo Expected To Be Activated Tuesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo (hand) is expected to return to the major league club on Tuesday, following a team off day on Monday. Arroyo has been out since May 6 with a hand injury, and has spent the last few days on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester. Prior to the injury, […]

Xander Bogaerts Rests On Sunday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts is out of the lineup Sunday afternoon. With a team off day on Monday, this gives Bogaerts back-to-back days to rest. Bogaerts has been arguably the best offensive shortstop in the majors this season with a 1.004 OPS, ten homers, and four steals. Fantasy managers can expect him back […]

J.D. Martinez Sits Sunday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez will get the day off Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies. With a team day off Monday, this will give him two days to rest. Martinez has gotten plenty of time in the outfield in National League parks, so this is not an indication that he will sit in […]

Alex Verdugo Remains Out Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies. Verdugo strained his hamstring on Friday, and received the day off Saturday. Verdugo was meant to get checked out Sunday, so an updated prognosis may be forthcoming. In the meantime, Danny Santana is manning center field. Fantasy managers should […]
