Hitters 10 Travis d'Arnaud TOR C A- .390 in last 10 games after slow start. We'll see him later this year. 12 Anthony Rizzo CHC 1B A- .384 and ready when needed. LaHair hitting nearly as well for Cubs however....

Summary: Saves Sunday came from Kenley Jansen (2), Sean Marshall (5), Craig Kimbrel (8), John Axford (5), Santiago Casilla (4), and Ramon Ramirez (1). Don't get excited about Ramirez. It was an extra-inning game and Frank Francisco had already pitched...

American League 2 Mike Trout LAA OF A+ First 18 games - .400/.463/.600. Wells and Hunter? Both with sub-.700 OPS's. 3 Jesus Montero SEA C A .241/.259/.370, but then again, no one in Seattle is hitting right now. 4 Manny...

NL Summary: Saves Sunday came from Rafael Betancourt (5), Sean Marshall (3), and J.J. Putz (5), while we had a pair of East Coast games postponed due to rain. ... Meanwhile, Rafael Furcal had three more hits to raise his...

NL Quick Pitch: Saves on Sunday from Sean Marshall and Joel Hanrahan (first of the year for both), and Arizona's Bryan Shaw (his second - more on him in a minute). ... With the news that Brian Wilson is done...

Hitters 31 Mason Williams NYY OF B+ Two doubles in debut. .863 OPS and 28 SB in just 68 games a year ago. 32 Jonathan Singleton HOU 1B B+ 4-for-16 to start AA career. Hopefully a big part of...

Andrew Cashner (RP-SD) - Cashner is a former first-round draft pick, so it's not a surprise that when he's healthy, he's good. Watching him Saturday, Cashner was in the 98-100 mph range with his fastball. He mixed in an 88...

Dodgers left field job - In going 5-for-47 with just one extra-base hit (a double) through Sunday's games, Jerry Sands appears to have taken himself out of the running for the left field job and likely, a spot on the...

Dodgers left field battle - Jerry Sands is hitting just .176 through Thursday, but he may be still alive considering Juan Rivera is at just .200 himself. Rivera though has popped three home runs and he has the $4.5 million...

Giants first base - Brandon Belt is a guy who has the potential to provide plenty of upside for fantasy owners at a bargain rate. I can see Belt hitting .290/.380/.500 if given the chance given that he did hit...

Dodgers closer - Javy Guerra is likely to enter camp and perhaps the season as the team's closer, but soon enough, it's going to be the Kenley Jansen era. Among all players in baseball history with a minimum of 50...

Dan Uggla (2B-ATL) - We'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge Uggla, who saw his hitting streak end Sunday, just 23 games short of Joe DiMaggio's major league record. For the record, Uggla entered the streak batting just .173/.241/.327. He...

American League 8 Jason Kipnis CLE 2B A- HR binge was a very nice surprise. Should be able to stick around for quite some time. 9 Brett Lawrie TOR 2B A- Start to MLB career couldn't be going any better....

The big news in the prospect world this week is Arizona signing No. 3 overall pick Trevor Bauer. Bauer joins Jarrod Parker and Tyler Skaggs to give the Dbacks arguably the best three-pack of pitching prospects in the game. Mix...
