Jason Heyward (CHC) - Jason Heyward had a nice day at the plate on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with 2 doubles and an RBI. Heyward is still working back from his latest injury, a ribcage contusion he sustained after colliding with...
Danny Duffy (SP-KC): Danny Duffy dominated the White Sox for 5 innings before coming unglued in a 6th inning that saw him allow 5 earned runs on a pair of homers. The former prospect has elicited divisive opinions across the...
Julio Urias (SP, LAD): Urias made his highly anticipated Major League debut Friday against the Dodgers. He was on a pitch count of 90, and managed to struggle through only two and two-thirds innings, giving up three earned runs on...
A few of our many prospect notes this week: 45 Dan Vogelbach CHC 1B B AA Slumping a bit, but OPS still .925 and could be a nice trade chip this summer. 46 Cody Bellinger LAD 1B B AA...
Elvis Andrus- SS- TEX- Idea- Andrus has punished LH pitching so far this season, with a .353/.389/.500 slash line. He hasn't hit a homer against southpaws yet in 2016, but last year 5 of his 7 homers came against them....
Julio Urias (LAD) - The Dodgers are calling up their top propsect (#2 in MLB) to make a start against the New York Mets tonight. Urias has completely dominated in the Pacific Coast League (PCL) this year, posting Kershaw-esque numbers...
Eduardo Nunez 2B/SS/3B - MIN - Nunez homered and doubled Wednesday, and he's now hitting 314/347/482 on the season. He's on pace for roughly 36 doubles, 16 homers, and 32 steals (figuring a quarter of the season has passed), and...
Junior Guerra (MIL) - If you have a roster spot available, I'd take a flier on Junior Guerra for next week's potential two start. Guerra threw five innings with 6 K's yesterday, allowing 0 ER, but he did walk four...
David Price, Boston Red Sox - Price tossed a quality start against the Rockies Tuesday allowing three runs over 7.0 innings while striking out six batters. The win was his seventh of the season and he's slowly bringing down his...
Marcell Ozuna (OF-MIA) - Ozuna's bat continued to sizzle Tuesday, as the center fielder went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a walk, and two runs scored. Ozuna is now batting a robust .327/.372/.589 with nine homers in 165 at-bats....
Brandon Guyer, OF, TB Guyer continued his hot hitting on Monday going 3-5 with a HR, a double and 3 runs scored and is now hitting .327 for the season. The hot start has led to Guyer being moved to...
Gerardo Parra Parra went 1-for-4 Monday, bringing his slash line down to .279/.287/.424 for 2016. Parra started the season hot, but has slowed down in recent weeks. Parra is just two for his last 25, with seven strikeouts and...
Carlos Rodon-White Sox-SP Carlos Rodon went 6.2 IP and gave up 2 ER on 8 H, 2 BB, and 4 K's. Rodon was someone who looked poised to have a huge breakout 2016 season. He showed improved command to go...
Melvin Upton Jr. (OF, SD): Upton finished Sunday's tilt with the Dodgers 3-7 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and his ninth stolen base of the season. He's had a pretty crazy resurgent season with the Padres at...
*Dexter Fowler (CHC) - *Dexter Fowler continues to tear it up, tallying 3 more hits including his 5th homerun of the season. He's currently a top-20 player in most fantasy leagues, but is this performance going to continue, or has...
Cameron Maybin If you're reading this, it's too late. Too late to pick up Maybin most likely, as the man is a human torch right now, hitting .647 in his first five games of 2016, flashing some power, with...
Carlos Martinez-Cardinals-SP Carlos Martinez went 5 IP and gave up 4 ER on 7 H, 3 BB, and 3 K's. Something is not right with Carlos Martinez. His ERA looks good at 3.56, but his advanced metrics do not like...
Sam Dyson (RP-TEX): Sam Dyson picked up his 3rd save of the season in his first attempt as the Rangers designated closer although he allowed 2 hits and 1 earned run in the process. While Dyson induces groundballs 69% of...
Evan Gattis, DH, HOU Gattis homered for the 2nd time in 3 games since returning from the DL, but perhaps more importantly for fantasy owners, he logged his first game as catcher in 2016. As a DH only player, Gattis...
Here is a small sampling of today's prospect notes. Hitters: Alex Bregman HOU SS A- AA 1.123 OPS and now playing some 3B. As many HR (9) as strikeouts this year. Bradley Zimmer CLE OF A- AA .273 in last...
Michael Conforto- OF- NYN- Idea- Conforto posted a slash line of .275/.341/.531 against RH pitching last year, with all of his 9 HRs coming in his 160 ABs against them. In 101 ABs against them this year he has all...
Here is a list of some NL players who were selected late in drafts but have so far made their owners happy in 2016 and what to expect going forward. Dexter Fowler, OF, CHC Fowler has made modest contributions in...
Jackie Bradley (BOS - OF) - Bradley Jr. extended his hit streak with a single in the top of the ninth against Wade Davis in the afternoon game, and promptly extended it again with a homerun in the nightcap. Bradley's...
Aaron Blair, Atlanta Braves - Aaron Blair was crushed by the Pirates for the inning and a third that he was able to stay on the field giving up nine runs with all being earned. This start could have been...
Rick Porcello (SP-BOS) - Porcello has regressed a bit lately, but overall, it's been a mini break-out season for the former top draft pick. Tuesday, Porcello allowed four earned runs over five innings against the Tigers, resulting in an increase...
Jose Ramirez (2B/3B/SS/OF, Cle): Ramirez is going to be the primary beneficiary of playing time with Lonnie Chisenhall on bereavement leave and Michael Brantley back on the DL. He went 2-5 with a double, a walk and two runs scored...
Eugenio Suarez (SS - CIN) - Suarez was 2-for-5 yesterday with his eighth home run of the season. Along with the rest of the Reds, Suarez has cooled off quite a bit recently, but yesterday's homerun was a sight for...
Rubby de la Rosa-Diamondbacks-SP Rubby de la Rosa went 6.2 IP and gave up 1 ER on 1 H, 4 BB, and 7 K's. Rubby came into the game with a 3.93 ERA (3.52 xFIP), which means that his advanced...
Danny Santana- OF- MIN- Idea- Last year the switch-hitting Santana was better against southpaws than RH pitching. This year he is back to his trend of 2014, when he had more success against RH pitching. Santana's slash line against them...
Mark Foltynewicz (SP-ATL): The hard-throwing righty tossed 8 scoreless innings, striking out 4 without allowing a walk in a winning effort against the Royals. In fact, Folty hasn't allowed a free pass in his last two starts. While his 97%...
David Ortiz Ortiz is straight up incredible. Now 40 years old, Ortiz hit his tenth home run of the 2016 season in the third inning. But he was just getting started. He then tripled (let's repeat that: DAVID ORTIZ...
Kris Bryant (3B/OF, ChC): Bryant spent some time at third base and left field Friday night against the Pirates, going 2-4 at the dish with his sixth home run of the year and two RBI. He upped his slash to...
Chris Sale (CWS) - Chris Sale is now an unbelievable 8-0 with a 1.67 ERA after throwing a 1-run complete game against the Yankees on Friday. The White Sox lefty has seen a noticeable dip in his fastball velocity this...
Chase Utley (2B-LAD): While Kershaw was doing his thing, Chase Utley backed him with a 3-for-4 performance that included his 2nd homer of the season. Utley has been drinking from the Fountain of Youth in 2016, posting a 14:19 BB:K...
Nomar Mazara- OF- TEX- Idea- Mazara has definitely been doing all he can to show that he is ready to stick in the major leagues. He has an average above .300 against both LH and RH pitching but his .319...
