Nathan Dokken

Andrew McCutchen (OF, PIT) - McCutchen had a tremendous night at the plate, homering twice (including a grand slam) while going 4-4 with four runs scored and eight RBI. The homers bump him up to 28 on the year, his...

Mike Montgomery (SP/RP, CHC) - Montgomery had a no-hitter rolling until Brad Miller took him deep in the sixth inning. It was the only baserunner Montgomery would allow on the evening as he tallied six strikeouts without a walk over...

Addison Russell (SS, CHC) - The Cubs activated Russell from the DL and he hit a pinch-hit home run in his only plate appearance of the game. He hadn't played since August 2nd due to plantar fasciitis in his foot,...

Julio Teheran (SP, ATL) - Teheran blanked the Nationals over seven innings, walking two and striking out five. He came into the game with pronounced home/road splits and kept them that way, feeding into his 3.09 ERA on the road...

Kyle Schwarber (C/OF, CHC) - Schwarber didn't start Saturday's game, but he did enter the game and record two plate appearances, walking in one of them and homering in the other while seeing time in both left field and behind...

Adrian Beltre (3B, TEX) - Beltre suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is out at least four weeks. That will effectively end his season since we have now rolled into September, and because of September roster expansion the Rangers...

Edwin Jackson (SP/RP, WAS) - Jackson continued his improbable run of success, tossing a baseline quality start against the Marlins with four walks and five strikeouts. He has a 3.50 ERA across eight starts and four relief appearances this year,...

Carlos Rodon (SP, CHW) - Rodon started game one of the Twins/White Sox doubleheader and was very good, striking out nine batters over six and one-third innings with two runs and three walks. He dropped his ERA to 3.88 over...

Starling Marte (OF, PIT) - Marte went 3-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two stolen bases. The steals are nice to see, but as a whole he has really struggled following his return from PED suspension. Coming into...

Yoenis Cespedes (OF, NYM) - Cespedes hit his 15th home run of the year, his third home run in as many games as his bat has finally roared back to life here in August. He has five home runs in...

In The Field Bryce Harper injured his knee on first base Saturday, and the awful looking injury could lead to a lengthy absence. Brian Goodwin has been playing well recently and would benefit from the playing time, with Andrew Stephenson...

Miguel Cabrera (1B, DET) - Miggy went 0-3 against Trevor Williams and the Pirates, dropping his line to .254/.341/.411 on the season. So many of his peripherals have looked great all year and screamed positive regression, but here we are...

DJ LeMahieu (2B, COL) - LeMahieu reached base in all five trips to the plate, going 3-3 with two walks. After a slow start to the season he has returned to being an on-base machine, slashing .323/.384/.412. He hasn't given...

Matt Belisle (RP, Twins) - The Twins bullpen is a bit muddled with the departure of Brandon Kintzler, who was traded to the Nationals at the deadline. It was looking for a long time like Taylor Rogers would be the...

Parker Bridwell (SP, LAA) - Bridwell notched his fifth quality start in seven tries in the Angels rotation, giving up two runs over seven innings with a walk and three strikeouts. His 3.09 ERA looks great and his 2.31 BB/9...

Ryan Braun (OF, MIL) - Ryan Braun had a monster game, going 3-4 with a homer, double, steal, walk, three runs scored, and four RBI. He's missed a fair bit of time this season while stuck on the DL, as...

Ryan Madson (RP, WSH) - MLB trade season is heating up in a hurry. The Athletics are early sellers, sending Ryan Madson along with Sean Doolittle to the Nationals for Blake Treinen and prospects Jesus Luzardo and Sheldon Neuse. While...

Stephen Strasburg (SP, WAS) - Strasburg left his start after just three innings against the Braves, taking a comebacker off his hip and not returning for the fourth frame. He seems to be alright though, saying after the game that...

In The Field Freddie Freeman may not be activated from the DL until after the All-Star break, depending on how his rehab assignment goes. He is expected to play third base upon his return, freeing up Matt Adams to continue...

Brett Gardner (OF, NYY) - Gardner went 3-6 with a double and a grand slam, finishing with three runs and six RBI. He now has 15 homers, which is more than twice as many as he hit all of last...

Jose Berrios (SP, MIN) - Berrios failed to record a third straight quality start, allowing four runs over 6.1 innings against the Red Sox, walking two and striking out seven. Boston is always a tough matchup at home though, and...

Jacob DeGrom (SP, NYM) - DeGrom finished at least eight innings for the third consecutive start, giving up just one run on four hits with a walk and seven K's against the Giants. Over his last three sterling starts he...

Jeremy Hellickson (SP, PHI) - Hellickson pitched well against the Cardinals, cruising through seven innings while allowing just one run on six hits with four K's and two walks. He dropped his ERA to 4.61 with the outing, but his...

Jacob Faria (SP, TB) - Faria impressed in his second start with the Rays, yielding just one run over 6.1 innings with one walk and eight strikeouts. He only gave up one extra base hit, a double to Russell Martin...

Aledmys Diaz (SS, STL) - Diaz homered and doubled, finishing 2-4 and raising his line to .262/.296/.416 on the season. He's matched his stolen base total of four from 2016 (over 111 games) in 55 games, but everything else has...

Adam Wainwright (SP, STL) - Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...Adam Wainwright attacks your ERA. After allowing only one total run over his last four starts, Waino was pounded for nine runs on...

Joe Biagini (SP/RP, TOR) - Biagini started his fifth game of the year and it was a good one, as he finished with a line of 6 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K's. It was the first...

Jerad Eickhoff (SP, PHI) - Eickhoff failed to notch a second consecutive quality start, yielding four runs over six innings against the Rockies with no walks and four strikeouts. The overall start wasn't great, but the zero in the walks...

Salvador Perez (C, KC) - Perez made the most out of the Sunday doubleheader, going 3-9 on the day with three home runs and five RBI. He's now sitting pretty with a career-high .267 ISO over his first 162 plate...

Hernan Perez drew the start in left field and hit third in the lineup with Ryan Braun on the DL, and makes for a decent short-term pickup with full time at-bats coming his way in the near future. He went...

National League In The Field Ryan Braun has been day-to-day for a few days with a forearm strain. It's not expected that it'll place him on the DL, but he isn't likely to return to the Brewers lineup until Tuesday....

Danny Duffy took his second loss of the year after a lackluster outing against the White Sox. He allowed six runs on 10 hits over five innings, walking two and striking out three. Duffy's velocity is down this season and...

Jason Heyward continued to rebound from a miserable 2016 campaign, launching a three-run homer and finishing the day 1-4 with four RBI. He's already amassed 16 RBI along with a .294/.342/.456 slash line, and his swing overhaul appears to be...

Kevin Gausman found himself in the hole early, giving up four runs in the first inning alone and requiring 45 pitches to get out back into the dugout. He buckled down after that and would give up just one more...

Hector Santiago shut out the White Sox over seven innings, giving up just six hits with no walks and six strikeouts. He's off to quite the start on the season, with a 1.47 ERA over his first 18.1 innings. He's...

Jesse Winker has been called up by the Reds, while reliever Barrett Astin has been sent down in the corresponding move. Winker is considered one of the Reds best prospects, but the timing with the callup is peculiar for sure....
