Yoan Moncada Stays Hot

Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada continued to swing a hot bat on Wednesday. Moncada went 2-for-3 with a home run. He also scored three runs, drove in two runs and drew a pair of walks. The most important part of his season has been that he has only struck out three times this year. […]

Leury Garcia Scores Three Times

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia had himself a game on Wednesday. Garcia went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and a stolen base. Garcia is playing every day for the White Sox, but as a .241 career hitter with limited power, Garcia shouldn’t be considered outside of deeper AL-only leagues.

Carlos Rodon Has Strong Outing Versus Indians

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon put together another strong outing on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Rodon allowed two hits, one run (zero earned), one walk and struck out nine batters. Rodon now has a 1.59 ERA over his first 11 1/3 innings and has struck out 15 batters over that span. Rodon […]

Tim Anderson Placed On Paternity Leave

Ivan Nova Performs Well In White Sox Debut

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ivan Nova went seven strong innings on Monday versus the Cleveland Indians.

Nova is a fine option in deeper AL-only […]

Tim Anderson Scratched From Monday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been scratched from Monday’s lineup. Anderson’s wife is in labor and he will be flying back to Chicago to welcome his second child. Jose Rondon will replace Anderson and bat eighth. Rondon is nothing more than a dart throw in DFS on Monday.

Kyle Schwarber Goes Deep Again

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber continued his hot start to the season with his second home run in as many days. Schwarber offers plenty of power and even though manager Joe Maddon is very unlikely to let him face lefties, Schwarber should be owned in all formats.

Cole Hamels Struggles Versus Former Squad

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cole Hamels struggled on Sunday versus the Texas Rangers. Hamels big dent was a grand slam by Delino DeShields in the bottom of the fourth. Hamels went five innings and allowed six hits, five runs, three walks and four strikeouts. Hamels will look for a better result in his next start versus […]

Alex Colome Records Save

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Alex Colome picked up his first save of the season on Sunday. Colome didn’t allow a hit and struck out one. He is entrenched as the closer for the White Sox, however his save opportunities may be few and far between on a White Sox club that is not expected […]

Jose Abreu Remains Hot

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu hit his second home run in as many days on Sunday. Abreu is off to a hot start and finished the game 2-for-3 with a RBI and two walks. Abreu remains one of the better options at first base in all formats.

Yonder Alonso Goes Yard

Chicago White Sox first baseman/designated hitter Yonder Alonso hit his first home run of the season on Sunday. Alonso finished the game 2-for-3 with three RBI and a pair of walks. Alonso is a good bet for a minimum of 20 home runs, but he is best suited for AL-only leagues at this time.

Lucas Giolito Has Strong Start To The Season

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito had a strong performance on Sunday versus the Kansas City Royals. Giolito didn’t allow a hit until there was one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. Giolito finished the day by allowing three hits, two runs, one walk and striking out eight. Giolito could have some […]

Willson Contreras Gets Sunday Off

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will get a routine day off on Sunday versus the Texas Rangers. Contreras picked up three hits on Sunday and remains a top-five option behind the dish. Victor Caratini will replace Contreras and bat ninth. Caratini doesn’t offer much upside outside of DFS and will face Lance Lynn, but DFS […]

Carl Edwards Jr. Fails To Record An Out

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. failed to record an out on Saturday versus the Texas Rangers. Edwards walked two batters and allowed two hits, which included a three-run home run to Joey Gallo to give the Rangers the lead.

Jose Quintana Pitches In Relief On Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jose Quintana made a rare relief appearance versus the Rangers on Saturday night.

Willson Contreras Picks Up Three Hits On Saturday

Kyle Schwarber Goes Yard Versus Rangers

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber hit his first home run of the season on Saturday versus the Texas Rangers. Schwarber didn’t get the start on Opening Day, but that didn’t stop him from going yard on Saturday. Schwarber finished 3-for-5. Although manager Joe Maddon rarely will let him face left-handed pitching, Schwarber is worth owning […]

Yu Darvish Allows Seven Walks In Season Debut

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish struggled to find the strike zone versus his former team on Saturday. Darvish only lasted 2 1/3 innings and allowed two hits, three runs, seven walks and struck out four. Darvish had a nice spring, but that didn’t translate over to his first start of the season. Despite a […]

Reynaldo Lopez Struggles In Season Debut

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez struggled versus the Royals on Saturday. Lopez allow four earned runs on six hits. He also allowed four free passes and only struck out two batters in four innings. Lopez pitched to a 3.91 ERA with 7.2 K/9 last season. He is still young enough to improve, but […]

Jose Abreu Goes Yard Saturday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went yard for his first home run on the season on Saturday versus the Kansas City Royals. He finished the game 1-for-4 with three RBI. Abreu offers both power and average and is one of the most underrated first baseman in the game.

Yoan Moncada Off To Hot Start

Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and a pair of RBI on Saturday versus the Royals. Moncada has been off to a nice start this season and has four hits in his first eight at-bats. Moncada is a former top prospect and has always had the […]

Jon Lester Earns The Win On Opening Day

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester picked up a quality start and win on Thursday versus the Texas Rangers.

Javier Baez Goes Deep Twice On Opening Day

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four RBI on Thursday versus the Texas Rangers.

Baez remains one of the better power hitting options at shortstop and is […]

Kyle Schwarber Left Out Of Opening Day Lineup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will be absent from the team's Opening Day lineup on Thursday. The Cubs will face left-handed pitcher Mike Minor and manager Joe Maddon does not like to deploy Schwarber versus lefties. Outfielder Mark Zagunis will replace Schwarber and bat ninth. Zagunis had a nice spring, but can be ignored outside […]

Eloy Jimenez To Bat Fifth In Big League Debut

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez will bat fifth in his big league debut Thursday. Jimenez is one of the best prospects in the game and is a candidate for Rookie of the Year. Jimenez isn’t in the best lineup, but the potential is there for him to be a big contributor this year in […]

Ian Happ Will Begin The Season In Triple-A

The Chicago Cubs have demoted infielder/outfielder Ian Happ to Triple-A Iowa. Happ, 24, is a former top prospect, but his best chance for everyday at-bats will be in Iowa.

Cruz hit .256 with 37 […]
