Yu Darvish Pitches Well Versus Reds

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish has his best start of the season versus the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Over 5 1/3 innings, Darvish allowed five hits, two runs, zero walks and struck out 11 batters. The big stat in this matchup for Darvish was that he didn’t walk a batter and that has hurt […]

Kris Bryant Extends On-Base Streak

Addison Russell Goes Yard

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Russell finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI.

Reynaldo Lopez Picks Up His Third Win

Lopez has had […]

Carlos Rodon Will Have Tommy John Surgery

Willson Contreras Will Sit On Saturday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will get Saturday off versus the Cardinals. It’s just a routine day off for one of the best backstops in the game. Taylor Davis will replace Contreras and bat eighth. Davis will face off versus Michael Wacha and is nothing more than a dart throw in DFS.

James McCann Knocks In Four Runs

Chicago White Sox catcher James McCann went 3-for-5 with a run scored and four RBI on Monday. McCann also hit his second home run in the contest. McCann is hitting .316 on the season, but with Wellington Castillo set as the everyday catcher, McCann can be avoided outside of DFS leagues.

Jose Abreu Drives In Five Runs

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu drove in five runs and hit his fourth home run of the season on Monday versus the Baltimore Orioles. Abreu finished the game 3-for-6 and also scored two runs. Abreu has been off to a slow start, but fantasy owners shouldn’t panic as he has been one of […]

Kyle Schwarber Won’t Start Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will have Sunday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks off. It’s not surprise as manager Joe Maddon rarely lets the slugger face lefties.

Brandon Morrow Could Be Shut Down

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (elbow) did not recover well from his last side session according to manager Joe Maddon.
