Lance Lynn, St. Louis Cardinals - On a day where Carlos Carrasco facing the Tigers is the highest priced pitcher on the day, Lance Lynn against the Brewers for $8,800 seems like an absolute bargain. It's no secret that the...
Carlos Carrasco, Cleveland Indians - Carlos Carrasco was dominant in his return to the mound Tuesday after having been hit in the face with a line drive his last time out. He tossed just five innings (which may have been...
Josh Donaldson, Toronto Blue Jays - Donaldson has been feasting on the Braves pitchers over the first two games of the series launching three homers including a walk off blast in the 10th Saturday. He's finally providing some of the...
Kyle Kendrick, Colorado Rockies - Ahhh.... This is the Kendrick we all expected and if you added him and started him in Colorado you probably deserved to have had this happen to you (thought the same thing when someone in...
Andrelton Simmons - Simmons turned in a huge day at the plate Saturday launching his first homer of the spring while going 3-for-3 on the day. Simmons was terrible last year (worse than the player formerly known as BJ Upton...
Atlanta Braves Jace Peterson, Pulling away from the pack? - Okay, maybe it's too early to say he's pulling ahead in the Braves' second base competition but Peterson is off to an excellent start to spring training. He's hitting a...
Congrats everyone, we have made it. Spring Training games officially start tomorrow (if you're reading this on Monday) or today (If you are reading this Tuesday). Atlanta Braves Center Field, The Dumpster Fire - Oh wow, the excitement in Braves...
Atlanta Braves Braves Final Rotation Spot- On a team littered with potential position battles and platoons set to be decided this spring, the Braves rotation seems pretty well set in stone with the top four pitchers. The fifth starter battle...
Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers - Miguel Cabrera is to the point when .315, 25 HR, and 109 RBI is no longer noteworthy for Cabrera because that legitimately is considered a down season for him. His 2012 and 2013 were just...
Alex Wood, Atlanta Braves - Wood was a tough luck loser Tuesday after allowing just three runs over 6.2 innings, but he fell victim to the worst hitting team in baseball right now as they could only score two runs...
Jake Arrieta, Chicago Cubs - One of these days Arrieta is bound to finish off a no-hitter. It seems like he has flirted with history once a month this season and his no-hitter attempt for September came Tuesday and last...
Michael Wacha, St. Louis Cardinals - Since returning from the disabled list Wacha has given up seven runs in five innings over two starts with four walks and six strikeouts. With Wacha's injury being of the shoulder variety it's not...
Justin Masterson, St. Louis Cardinals - The Cardinals announced that Justin Masterson has been removed from the rotation and will pitch for at least the foreseeable future out of the bullpen. Simply put, Masterson has been terrible since coming over...
Kris Bryant, Chicago Cubs - And exhale... Cubs' fans can rest easy that Kris Bryant's to injury is nothing minor and the slugger returned to the lineup Tuesday and went 1-for-3 with his 14th double of the year. It's still...
Clay Buchholz, Boston Red Sox - Buchholz actually turned in his second straight quality start, tossing seven innings of two run baseball while striking out nine which is his second highest total for the season behind the 12 he struck...
Rymer Liriano, San Diego Padres - It only took Liriano 13 AAA games before the Padres were convinced that he was ready for the big leagues and are calling him up to the majors. Over two levels, Liriano hit 14...
Shane Greene, New York Yankees - Greene dominated the Tigers over eight shutout innings to notch his third win of the season. He struck out five batters but walked three which is a season high for any of his starts....
Brett Anderson, Colorado Rockies - Anderson left Tuesday's start one pitch into the fourth with what appeared to be a lower back injury. Up until that point, he was pitching well allowing one hit over three innings while striking out...
Anthony Ranaudo, Boston Red Sox - Ranaudo made his major league debut Friday getting the call after the Red Sox traded away over half of their starting rotation at the deadline. He pitched well, lasting six innings allowing just two...
Everth Cabrera, San Diego Padres - Cabrera was activated from the disabled list before Tuesday's game and was immediately placed in his spot atop the Padres lineup. At the time of going down with his injury Cabrera was hitting just...
Jeremy Hellickson, Tampa Bay Rays - Jeremy Hellickson was recalled Saturday to start for the Rays and was very effective despite running up a very high pitch count. The righty lasted just 4.2 innings but struck out five while scattering...
Grady Sizemore, Philadelphia Phillies - Sizemore continued his excellent work for the Phillies going 3-for-5 out of the leadoff spot with two runs. While for the season his average sits at just .239 he is hitting an impressive .341 since...
Matt Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals - Carpenter hasn't quite lived up to the lofty preseason standards he set for himself after his MVP caliber 2013 season, but the second baseman has been a good fantasy asset for owners this season....
Vidal Nuno, Arizona Diamondbacks - It's probably safe to say Nuno enjoys pitching in the NL already as he was great in his first start since being traded by the Yankees to Arizona. He threw seven shutout innings with seven...
Khris Davis, Milwaukee Brewers - Davis left the game Tuesday after injuring his shoulder sliding into second base. He was replaced by Elian Herrera and it has not yet been determined how much time Davis might miss if any at...
Dallas Keuchel, Houston Astros - Keuchel was scratched from his start Saturday with wrist inflammation, but the team is optimistic that he will be able to make his next start. He had been receiving treatment all week for his wrist,...
Jake Arrieta, Chicago Cubs - Arrieta was dominant yet again Tuesday as he took a perfect game into the 7th inning before Billy Hamilton led off the inning with a single. He completed with seventh and was able to pick...
Jonathan Lucroy, Milwaukee Brewers - Lucroy, the most valuable catcher in the MLB according to fWAR, launched two homers and drove in five runs with four coming on a grand slam off reliever Brad Zeigler. After Ryan Braun was hit...
Eugenio Suarez, Detroit Tigers - The Tigers shortstop got all the hard parts of the cycle completed, but couldn't seem to add a single as he finished the game 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBI. Since being called up...
Gregory Polanco, Pittsburgh Pirates - While Polanco was actually called up a few days ago, June 13th is when he truly arrived. He recorded his first multi-hit game, capped off with a two run game winning homer in the top...
Chase Anderson, Arizona Diamondbacks - Anderson picked up his fourth win in four starts Tuesday with six innings while allowing just one run via the solo homer. Anderson fits into the same category as Scott Carroll of the White Sox...
Jake Arrieta, Chicago Cubs - Arrieta had a decent outing against the Giants picking up his first loss of the season along with allowing four runs in six innings. Arrieta has yet to throw more than six innings on the...
Samuel Denudo, Minnesota Twins - Denudo put together a solid start against the Giants giving up two runs in 5.2 innings but couldn't get the win as he left trailing 2-0. He has made four starts now for the Twins...
Latroy Hawkins, Colorado Rockies - Despite picking up the win after allowing the go ahead run in the ninth, Hawkins has strung together a couple of poor outings as he has allowed runs in each of his last three appearances....
Prince Fielder, Texas Rangers - The source of Prince Fielder's power issues this year may have been identified Saturday as the first baseman will miss a few games with a herniated disk in his neck. He received a nerve blocking...
Mike Minor, Atlanta Braves - Mike Minor finally had a 2013 Minor-esque performance with 6.2 shutout innings while striking out six with three hits allowed. It was Minor's first outing without allowing a homerun and he lowered his FIP in...
