Jose Altuve -- Altuve had yet another good game on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. Those hits pushed him to 220 on the season--the most by a second baseman in 70...
Trevor May -- May turned in his best performance to date on Sunday, going 7 innings with 10 strikeouts and not a single walk, albeit while allowing 3 runs. May hasn't looked much like a major league since getting the...
Shane Greene -- Greene bounced back from his worst outing of the year on Sunday, surrendering just 2 runs (neither earned) on 5 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings while striking out 4 batters. It was an encouraging performance...
Miguel Cabrera -- Detroit star Miguel Cabrera sat out Sunday's game after leaving early in the second game of the team's double-header on Saturday. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said that he could give Miggy four or five days off to...
Sean Doolittle -- Doolittle underwent an MRI on Sunday and was subsequently placed on the 15-day DL with a strained right intercostal muscle. That's a tough blow for fantasy owners as the race for saves at the end of the...
Kennys Vargas -- Vargas went 3-for-4 with a double, a homer, 3 RBI, and 2 runs on Sunday against the Royals. The big day brings Vargas' batting average up to .317, and the long-ball was his third of the season....
Neftali Feliz -- Feliz blew his first save of the season on Sunday, allowing two runs on a walk and two hits, including a home run. He'd converted three straight since taking over for the recently traded Joakim Soria, so...
Justin Masterson -- Masterson threw 71 pitches in a rehab outing on Sunday, allowing two runs on 5 hits and 2 walks with 6 strikeouts. Masterson, who has been a major disappointment this year, has been on the DL with...
Jeff Samardzija -- Samardzija impressed in his Oakland debut on Sunday, allowing a single run on 5 K and 1 BB in 7 innings pitched. A trade of Samardzija was inevitable, but being traded into the American League was far...
Derek Norris -- Norris was hit with a backswing yet again on Sunday, leaving the game to receive concussion tests. There is no news as to the severity of the injury at present, but it seems safe to assume that...
Josh Willingham -- Willingham went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's contest against the Yankees. That makes three dingers since he returned from the Disabled List just one week ago. There were some concerns when he came off...
Zach Britton -- Britton collected his second save of the year on Sunday, pitching a 1-2-3 ninth with a strikeout. Britton is a bit of a strange choice to close for the Orioles considering that he's a lefty without a...
C.C. Sabathia -- After complaining of knee soreness following Saturday's game, C.C. Sabathia underwent an MRI and was placed on the Disabled List on Sunday. The good news is that there's no structural damage, just fluid that needs to be...
Elvis Andrus -- The Rangers dropped Elvis Andrus, who has batted second every game this year, down to the ninth spot in the order on Sunday. Andrus is hitting just .217 this year and entered the game 0 for his...
Robbie Ray -- With Anibal Sanchez on the shelf, it's being reported that Robbie Ray is the most likely candidate to take his spot in the rotation. That spot may not come up until next Tuesday, but it'll be against...
Ivan Nova -- After leaving Saturday's start with a sore elbow, it was revealed yesterday that Ivan Nova has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. He's been placed on the DL and, in all likelihood, will be undergoing Tommy John...
John Axford -- Axford has been a mess of contradictions this year, and it continued tonight as he blew his first save of the year after converting his first four. Despite an 8.4 BB/9 and 4.88 xFIP, Axford entered the...
Yasiel Puig -- Puig who has been sitting out with a foot injury, took batting practice yesterday and will likely play in today's regular season finale. Puig has taken the majors by storm this year, posting a .322 batting average...
Miguel Cabrera -- Fantasy's (arguable) top player, Miguel Cabrera, faces uncertain playing time in the final week of the season. Apparently his leg is black and blue, and manager Jim Leyland is most concerned with getting him healthy for the...

Carlos Gonzalez -- After seeing a hand specialist yesterday, Carlos Gonzalez reiterated his intention to undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right middle finger at the end of the season. He remains available for non-hitting duties, but...
Edwin Encarnacion -- Toronto manager John Gibbons said yesterday that Edwin Encarnacion, who has been out since Saturday with a wrist injury, may not back this year. E5 has been one of the most effective players in fantasy baseball this...
Alex Rodriguez -- A-Rod went 2-for-4 with a home run last night, but more interestingly, he did so out of the two-spot for the first time this season. He's been batting mostly fifth and sixth since the Yankees acquired Alonso...
Tanner Roark -- With the Nationals moving Ross Ohlendorf to the bullpen, Tanner Roark will move into the team's fifth rotation slot. He has a 1.19 ERA and 3.07 xFIP in 22.2 relief innings for the Nats this year and...
Nick Castellanos -- The Tigers called up top prospect outfielder Nick Castellanos when rosters expanded yesterday. It's yet to be seen how he'll be used, but it's been rumored that he could supplant the Andy Dirks/Matt Tuiasosopo platoon in left...
Marlon Byrd -- Byrd went 1-for-4 with a home run and 3 RBI in his Pirates debuted yesterday. Interestingly, he batted cleanup, pushing Pedro Alvarez to the fifth spot in the order. After poor performance and a PED suspension last...
Brett Anderson -- Reports out of Oakland yesterday indicated that Brett Anderson could be activated from the DL to rejoin Oakland's rotation as soon as tomorrow against Detroit. Anderson has been out since May with a stress fracture in his...
Starlin Castro -- Castro batted leadoff for the Cubs yesterday for the first time since July 8 and went 1-for-5 with a run scored. In the midst of a disappointing 2013 campaign, Castro has mostly been batting in the 5...
Andrew Lambo -- Lambo has had a rocky minor league career with suspensions and injuries, but he finally started making good on his promise this year for the Pirates, and he's now earned the call to the majors. I wouldn't...
Michael Wacha -- Wacha was solid last night in a 5-inning, 2-ER effort against the Cubs (with a less solid 4/3 K/BB), but St. Louis announced before the game that it would likely be his last start of the year....
Everth Cabrera -- The Biogenesis situation came to a head yesterday, and MLB suspended Everth Cabrera 50 games. Cabrera will not appeal the suspension, effectively ending his 2013 season. Cabrera finished the year with a .283/.355/.381 slash line and an...
Bud Norris -- Norris was traded from Houston to Baltimore at yesterday's trade deadline. The move wasn't the best case scenario for his value, but Norris still gets a small value boost. He remains in the American League and in...
Taylor Jordan -- The Nationals said yesterday that rookie start Taylor Jordan would be shut down after another 20 or 30 innings. He had Tommy John surgery two years ago and was held to 54.1 innings last year, so this...

Ryan Braun -- In a shocking announcement, Major League Baseball suspended Ryan Braun for the rest of the season yesterday, and Braun elected not to appeal, all but admitting guilt in using PEDs. It seems as though MLB had quite...
