Leodys Taveras (OF-TEX) - Don't look now, but Taveras is playing every day and he's hitting the ball. Taveras was 2-for-5 with two RBI, a double, and his seventh stolen base on Wednesday. He's still hitting just an anemic .118/.183/.224...

Jameson Taillon (SP-NYY) - The Taillon trade is looking like a big win for the Pirates at this point, with Roasney Contreras looking like a top-100 prospect and Taillon struggling. Tuesday, the right-hander was gifted with 11 runs, leading to...

Austin Gomber (SP-COL) - Is it time to start trusting Gomber again? The Rockies' lefty held the Marlins to one run over five innings on Wednesday to lower his ERA to 3.95. Remember that time in April when many trusted...

Christian Yelich (OF-MIL) - Yelich returned from his second back-related IL stint Tuesday to go 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Royals. That dropped him to .316/.422/.342, a line that looks very Yelich-like...until that third number. In 45 PA, Yelich...

Sandy Alcantara, SP, MIA Alcantara continued his solid 2021 start Tuesday, holding the Diamondbacks to two runs (one earned) over six solid innings with a 6:1 K:BB to lower his ERA to 2.95. He now has a 42:12 K:BB In...

Dodgers Outfield At-Bats With Joc Pederson gone, AJ Pollock should see the majority of the LF at-bats, though his performance in recent years against RHP has been below average. Pollock should get early opportunities against RHP, but should he struggle,...

Dodgers - Has Gavin Lux Won the 2B Job? Not officially, but hitting .400/.444/.440 is a good start. Sure we'd love to see more than a .040 ISO, but not everyone can have a 1.038 SLG like Corey Seager. The...

Dodgers Rotation We know Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, and Trevor Bauer will command the first three rotation slots in some order. David Price should be the fourth starter assuming he isn't traded, and the Dodgers appear to be ready to...

Dodgers Second Base job There isn't much in the way of competitions in Los Angeles this year, but second base is worth keeping an eye on. For now, Gavin Lux looks to be the favorite, but despite plenty of prospect...

Dylan Bundy (SP-LAA) - I imagine a lot of us started trusting Bundy after the relatively-failed top prospect started the season with a 1.57 ERA in his first four starts, including a great 35:3 K:BB in 28.2 innings plus three...

Andrew Benintendi (OF-BOS) - Benintendi returned to the leadoff spot Tuesday in what has been an awful season. He had a pair of singles and a HBP in four PA, "lifting" him to .103/.314/.128. He's obviously maintained his plate discipline,...

Bradley Zimmer, CLE - Injuries and ineffectiveness have combined to result in the former top prospect falling off the map in recent years, but maybe he's back? Zimmer once had a 15 HR / 38 SB season in the minors...

Zach Plesac (SP-CLE) - Plesac has beaten out Adam Plutko for the final spot in the Cleveland rotation. From a fantasy perspective, it's tough to get too excited about the 25-year-old, who debuted last season with a decent 3.81 ERA,...

Austin Riley (3B/OF-ATL) - Locked in a battle with Johan Carmago for the third base job, Riley took a step forward Friday, homering and drawing a walk off Boston's Eduardo Rodriguez. The walk is certainly encouraging after he posted a...

Rockies - Sam Hilliard and the outfield Charlie Blackmon is locked into RF and David Dahl CF, but the latter should be good for his usual 60-80 games on the IL, and in left you have Ian Desmond, who has...

Jose Ramirez (3B-CLE) - Remember when we were worried about Ramirez? I remember, but now we can laugh. All Ramirez did Tuesday in returning from a hand injury was to hit a grand slam in the first inning and a...

Marcus Stroman (SP-NYM) - Stroman turned in a huge outing Tuesday to keep the Mets' very faint playoff hopes alive, tossing seven scoreless innings in Coors Field against the Rockies. He allowed just four this while striking out seven in...

Jose Urena (SP-MIA) - Urena wouldn't be the first failed starter to be a great closer, and he's getting a one-month (or less if he's awful) chance to lock down that role going forward. Urena recorded his first save of...

Freddie Freeman (1B-ATL) - You don't need us to tell you Freeman is elite, but it's hard to ignore a 4-3-3-4 line in the box score. Freeman hit his 32nd and 33rd home runs while bumping his RBI total to...

Domingo German (SP-NYY) - After showing diminished velocity amidst a 6.86 ERA over his last four starts, German showed better zip on his fastball Tuesday in limiting the Orioles to a pair of runs in seven innings to become MLB's...

Chase Anderson (SP-MIL) - If you have overlooked Anderson's recent run, you're not alone. Tuesday, Anderson beat the Pirates with 5.2 innings of two-run ball. He walked one and struck out four in lowering his ERA to 3.70. In 99.2...

Andrew Benintendi (OF-BOS) - Benintendi has been a bit of a disappointment this year for fantasy owners who expected him to improve upon last year's .831 OPS, 16 homers, and 21 stolen bases. Lately though, he's looking to make up...

Robinson Cano (2B-NYM) - One of my shallower leagues is a 10-team mixed league with friends, and out of curiosity after seeing what Cano did Tuesday, I did in fact confirm that Cano was a free agent in that league....

Adalberto Mondesi (SS-KC) - We will probably know more once this blurb is published, but Mondesi will have an MRI after injuring his left shoulder diving for a foul ball Tuesday. Mondesi reportedly believed he dislocated the shoulder, so thought...

Christian Vazquez (C-BOS) - Vazquez had a nice game Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with his 12th homer in a breakout season that saw his slash climb to .296/.331/.502. If you were a Vazquez owner last year wondering where this was, you're...

Ramon Laureano (OF-OAK) - Laureano did his part in the A's scoring 16 runs Tuesday, going 4-for-5 with three runs and a three-run homer. He's still hitting a so-so .265/.308/.444, but in his last 28 games, Laureano is hitting .321...

Dakota Hudson (SP-STL) - Hudson improved to 5-3 Tuesday with seven innings of one-run ball against the Marlins, a team who had Curtis Granderson and his .182/.273/.347 slash leading off and whose cleanup hitter (Starlin Castro) has four home runs....

Derek Dietrich (OF/INF-CIN) - One of the more incredible signings of the offseason, Dietrich was unbelievably unable to get a major league deal despite hitting 16 home runs with a .751 OPS. The Reds surely weren't expecting this, but they...

Keston Hiura (2B-MIL) - This was a bit unexpected, but Hiura is getting the call from Triple-A. in a corresponding move, struggling 2B Travis Shaw will either be placed on the IL (likely with a phantom injury) or optioned to...

Yordan Alvarez (1B-HOU) - If you're looking for a high-upside prospect to stash that will help you this year, you can't do much better than this guy. Alvarez recently had a modest 2-for-8 over two games and then came back...

Franmil Reyes (OF-SD) - Reyes homered twice and chipped in a double on Tuesday to raise his line to an "interesting" .232/.286/.561. Hitting second ahead of Manny Machado certainly won't hurt a guy. Reyes finishes April with an impressive eight...

Domingo German (SP-NYY) - I think it's safe to say that German has solidified his rotation spot, regardless who is healthy or not healthy. German spun a strong game Tuesday against versus the Angels, allowing just an unearned run over...

Marcell Ozuna (OF-STL) - Ozuna continued his hot hitting Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and his seventh homer of the season (all in his last nine games). He line rose to .293/.339/.707 as a result, and though we'd like...

Yoan Moncada (2B-CHW) - I don't own Moncada in any of my leagues, so of course he's off to a great start. Moncada went 2-for-4 with HR #3 on Tuesday to lift him to .333/.378/.643. He did strike out twice...

Curtis Granderson (OF-MIA) - The rebuilding Marlins seem to have no issue playing an elderly Curtis Granderson frequently, and on Tuesday, he even got a start against a southpaw - the Mets' Jason Vargas. Granderson went 2-for-4 to raise his...
