Corey Seager looks ready to go Seager made his Cactus League debut Wednesday against the Cubs, hitting third and starting at shortstop. It went well, as Seager went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and sacrifice fly. Seager reported no issues...

Jung Ho Kang (3B-PIT) - Kang got a boost in value Monday, as he was named the team's starting third baseman. This spring, Kang is hitting just .179, but all five of his hits have left the yard, and for...

LA Dodgers: Who's in the Outfield? With the trade of Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp to the Reds, the Dodgers suddenly no longer have an overabundance of outfielders. As things are currently constructed, Max Muncy and David Freese are set...

Nathan Eovaldi (SP-BOS) - Eovaldi put up 10 punchouts in just five innings Monday against a Baltimore team that has already locked up the 2019 #1 overall pick and is essentially just waiting for the season to be over. Opponent...

Zack Wheeler (SP-NYM) - Wheeler allowed just three hits against the Phillies on Monday, but with three walks and a three-run triple from J.P. Crawford resulted in four runs. Wheeler has a 3.31 ERA and 179:55 K:BB in 182.1 innings...

will be the Houston 1B of the future?", that's exactly what has happened. A.J. Reed was supposed to be that guy, but while Reed hit .255/.344/.506 with 28 homers in Triple-A this season, he's also 25 with a career MLB...

Chris Shaw (OF-SF) - Shaw had a pinch-hit home run against the Rockies on Monday in what was his first big league hit after striking out five times in his previous six at-bats. Shaw, long one of the team's top...

Luke Voit (1B-NYY) - Greg Bird is hitting .199/.288/.390 through Sunday and .104 in his previous 19 games. He may still have a future as a starter, but the Yankees are trying to win games, and right now, Voit is...

Alex Wood (SP-LAD) - Wood has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his last 12 starts, but considering he's been a 5-6 inning pitcher most of the year, that's hardly impressive. Wood lasted just four frames Monday, allowing...

Corey Knebel (RP-MIL) - Knebel's grasp on the Milwaukee closer job became more tenuous against the Padres on Thursday. Entering with a 4-2 lead in the 9th, Knebel allowed an infield single to the first batter before walking the next...

Corey Knebel (RP-MIL) - It's probably time to be at least a little concerned about Knebel. He was charged with the loss on Sunday and was not used in a save situation on Tuesday. In his last 10.2 innings, Knebel...

Jose Urena (SP-MIA) - I've seen Urena pitch and come away impressed before, but he's far too unreliable to trust as anything more than a low-end NL-only option. Case in point: Monday against the Braves. Urena lasted just four innings...

Gorkys Hernandez (OF-SF) - I never thought much of Hernandez as a prospect or as a big league player prior to this year, but I have to admit, he's looked strong at the plate in 2018. Leading off Monday, Hernandez...

Juan Soto (OF-WAS) - Soto made his official big league debut on May 20, striking out as a pinch-hitter. He went on to go 2-for-4 with a home run in his first start the following day and the rest has...

Dylan Bundy (SP-BAL) - Given the lack of competition, Bundy looks to be a lock to represent the Orioles in the All-Star game this season. The right-hander held the Red Sox to just three hits over eight shutout innings Monday,...

It was a very light day of baseball on Monday, but here are a few NL notes to get you through the morning... Julio Teheran (SP-ATL) - It was an ugly Monday for Teheran and the Braves. Teheran was touched...

Matt Boyd (SP-DET) - Boyd lasted just five innings while throwing 102 pitches against the Angels Monday, but he held them scoreless and managed to pick up the W. Boyd allowed just two hits while walking three and striking out...

Juan Soto (OF-WAS) - Ronald Acuna, Soto, and soon, Vlad Guerrero Jr. It's a good year for great young talent. Soto struck out as a pinch-hitter in his first MLB at-bat on Sunday, but Monday proved just a bit better...

Andrew Heaney (SP-LAA) - Perhaps that Howie Kendrick trade will pay off after all. Heaney surprised me Monday with eight innings of one-run ball to beat the Astros. He allowed just four hits, walked one, and struck out 10 in...

Eduardo Rodriguez (SP-BOS) - A lefty with deception, a solid change, and a 92-94 mph fastball who's still just 25 has some intrigue, but will Rodriguez ever put it all together. He entered Monday's action against the Royals coming off...

Walker Buehler (SP-LAD) - Buehler's stuff is straight up filthy, as he was pumping 98 mph heat in his first major league start and demonstrating a plus curve against the Marlins. Buehler is getting the start in place of Rich...

Charlie Morton (SP-HOU) - The Seattle offense isn't exactly a juggernaut these days, but it was still another strong performance from Morton on Thursday. The right-hander allowed just three hits in seven shutout innings, including no walks and eight strikeouts....

Greg Holland (RP-STL) - Holland has been added to the Cardinals' active roster and he is expected to immediately take over as the team's closer. This obviously isn't good news for Jordan Hicks, Bud Norris, and the rest of the...

Gregory Polanco (OF-PIT) - I had sort of passed on Polanco as a 2018 breakout candidate, but maybe I was wrong. Polanco had an RBI double and four walks in five plate appearances Monday, though he failed steal a base....

Happy Opening Day everyone. One of my favorite days of the year to be sure. Dodgers Left Field situation - Toles to AAA In somewhat of a surprise, Joc Pederson made the Opening Day roster over Andrew Toles, this despite...

Could Matt Kemp be the primary left fielder in Los Angeles? It's looking more and more like it. Manager Dave Roberts this week stated that Kemp could see at-bats versus both LH and RH pitchers, rather than being on the...

Giants CF Job Battle: Does Steven Duggar Have a Chance? Will the Giants really give a job to a younger player for a change? The 24-year-old Duggar is competing with Austin Jackson for CF at-bats this spring and he's off...

Colorado Rockies What's the situation with COL's David Dahl? As of now, Dahl doesn't have a spot in the every day lineup. Ian Desmond, Charlie Blackmon, and Gerardo Parra are expected to man the outfield, with rookie top prospect Ryan...

Carlos Carrasco (SP-CLE) - Granted it was against a Twins team that was resting a large number of regulars after having clinched a Wild Card spot the previous day, but Carrasco came up big on Thursday. The righty allowed six...

Jake Arrieta (SP-CHC) - A hamstring injury had limited Arrieta to just 2.1 innings of work since August 29, but he took the hill against a tough Brewers team Thursday and held them to just one run on five hits...

Kelvin Herrera (RP-KC) - Herrera had a shot at winning the KC closer gig back on Thursday, but he blew the save after allowing the Indians to tie the game in the ninth inning before the Tribe came back to...

Sean Doolittle (RP-WAS) - Doolittle continued to solidify his hold on the closer's job Thursday, tossing a perfect ninth inning for his 19th save overall, and 16th with the Nationals. Doolittle lowered his ERA overall to 2.84, but with the...

Sean Doolittle (RP-WAS) - Doolittle continued to solidify his hold on the closer's job Thursday, tossing a perfect ninth inning for his 19th save overall, and 16th with the Nationals. Doolittle lowered his ERA overall to 2.84, but with the...

Crazy last few hours of the waiver trade deadline, as two Justins (Upton and Verlander) leave Detroit for Anaheim and Houston respectively. Brandon Phillips upgrades the Angels 2B black hole, and Cameron Maybin gives Houston some outfield depth. Justin Upton...

Robbie Ray (SP-ARI) - When you strike out nine, and walk a pair, that can tend to elevate your pitch count, and that was what happened to Ray on Thursday. The lefty fanned nine Mets over five innings while allowing...

Mike Fiers (SP-HOU) - Fiers dropped to 7-8 on the year Thursday against the Diamondbacks. Fiers allowed three runs (two earned) over 5.1 innings with an impressive seven strikeouts to two walks. Once again, home runs were the big issue,...
