  • Player Notes
    Dansby Swanson Sun May 18 9:10am CT

    Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson continued his hot month of May against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. Swanson started off his day with a single, steal, and a run scored in the second inning. He would later smack a solo home run off Sean Burke in the fifth inning. Swanson would finish this game 2-for-3 with a solo homer, one RBI, two steals, and two walks in the win. The veteran shortstop is hitting .389 with three homers and eight RBI over his last 11 games. Fantasy managers should keep him in their starting lineups going forward.

    Enrique Hernandez Sun May 18 9:00am CT

    Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Enrique Hernandez got on base in all five plate appearances in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels, going 2-for-2 with his seventhhome run of the year and drawing three walks. The 33-year-old recorded one RBI and scored three times in the contest as well. Since May 7, the veteran is 10-for-27 (.370) with a double, two home runs, three RBI, eight runs scored, and a 4:4 BB:K, hitting up and down the Dodger lineup and playing all over the field. His positional versatility (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and OF on Yahoo!) makes him an appealingwaiver add in season-long leagues while he's hitting well, and can be a cheap DFS option in good matchups. Speaking of which, the right-handed hitter will face off againstlefty Yusei Kikuchi in Sunday's series finale, whom he is 5-for-16 off of lifetime with a double, two walks, and zero strikeouts.

    Wyatt Langford Sun May 18 9:00am CT

    Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford put together a nice outing at the plate during Saturday's game against the Houston Astros. Langford got his team on the board with an RBI single in the third inning. He smacked a home run in the seventh inning to give his team another insurance run. Langford ended this game going 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, and a stolen base in the win. The 23-year-old doesn't have pretty slash line, but does have three homers over his last six games. Langford also has eight steals on the season, which does help his fantasy value. He does enough at the plate to be valuable despite a lackluster slash line.

    Bryson Stott Sun May 18 9:00am CT

    Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott came into this game in a bad slump, but was able to have a productive game on Saturday. Stott connected on a solo home run off right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski in the third inning. He did a little bit of everything in this game as he went 2-for-5 with a homer, three RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base in the win. Hopefully this nice performance will help Stott get back on track. Despite his slump, Stott is still worth rostering and starting in most 12-team formats.

    Andy Pages Sun May 18 8:50am CT

    Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages went 2-for-5 in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels, hitting his ninth home run of the season and driving in three runs in the game. The 6-foot-1 slugger got off to a slow start this year, but since a multi-hit game on April 22, he's hit .371 (36-for-97), and has now put together a .288/.341/.506 slash line with a .368 wOBA and a 136 wRC+ for the season, which puts the Dominican within the top 15 among outfielders in fantasy scoring. It will be interesting to see if he can keep up this type of production throughout the season, and hitting in the middle of the Dodger lineup should help, but with a 21st-percentile hard-hit rate, 37th-percentile average EV, and an xBA of .260, some regression may eventually be coming.

    Cal Raleigh Sun May 18 8:50am CT

    Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his impressive stretch of play during Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Raleigh was fairly quiet at the plate until hitting a go-ahead home run off left-hander Adrian Morejon in the seventh inning. He finished his day 1-for-2 with that solo homer and two walks in the win. Raleigh is putting together an impressive week at the plate. Over the last five games, Raleigh is 6-for-17 with three homers and six RBI. Raleigh is a great source of power with 15 homers on the season and plays excellent defense. He is someone that needs to be rostered and started in all fantasy formats.

    Ezequiel Tovar Sun May 18 8:40am CT

    Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This was Tovar's second game back after missing time on the injured list due to a hip contusion. It appears that injury is behind him as Tovar was hitting everything thrown at him on Saturday. He went 5-for-6 at the plate, which included a solo home run in the third inning. The five knocks was a career-high for Tovar as he also notched three singles and a triple in the win on Saturday. The 23-year-old figures to be a force in the middle of the Rockies batting order. Tovar should be rostered in most 12-team fantasy formats right now.

    Jarren Duran Sun May 18 8:30am CT

    Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran singled and hit a two-run home run in a 2-for-5 day at the plate, collecting four RBI in the team's 7-6 win over the Braves on Saturday. It could have been an even more fruitful fantasy performance, but he was caught stealing once. The left-handed hitter has had a productiveseason thus far, hitting .262 with three home runs, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases, putting him in the top 24 in fantasy scoring amongoutfielders. Even with yesterday's home run, the28-year-old is on pace for 10 home runs, far less than the 21 he hit last season, which will surely disappoint fantasy managers who were expecting more, but he's also on pace for 40 steals, which would be more than the 34 he swiped last year.

    Hunter Goodman Sun May 18 8:10am CT

    Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman went 3-for-6 in Saturday's 14-12 win over the Diamondbacks, with a single, a double, and a home run in the contest. He collected four RBI and scored twice as well. The 25-year-old has five multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, whichhas pushed his season slash line to .300/.354/.506 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, and 24 runs scored in 43 games (175 PA). Somewhat surprisingly, the former fourth-round draft pick is the second-highest scoring catcher for fantasy right now, and should continue to be an RBI producer while he's hitting cleanup for Colorado. He can still be found on the waiver wire in over 30 percent of leagues, is OF eligible on Yahoo! as well, and has a seven-game homestand at Coors Field beginningMonday.

    Jordan Beck Sun May 18 8:00am CT

    Colorado Rockies outfielder Jordan Beck went 3-for-5 with a walk, a triple, and two home runs in Saturday's 14-12 win over the Diamondbacks, collecting three RBI and scoring four times in the process. Beck was 1-for-13 (.077) over his previousfour games coming into Saturday, but with his ability to draw a walk, the 24-year-old has now reached base at least once in 15 consecutive games. The multi-HR effort was his third of the season already, and the right-handed hitter has put togethera .265-8-16-24-5 stat line with a .386 wOBA and 133 wRC+ through 35 games played. Beck's strikeout rate of 27.5 percent is a bit high, but with his ability to get on base, steal bases, and hit home runs, he should probably be rostered in more than 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and his next seven games after Sunday will come at Coors Field.

    Logan O'Hoppe Sun May 18 7:30am CT

    Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe went 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in an 11-9 win over the Dodgers on Saturday. His 10th home run of the season came in the seventh inning and was a go-ahead, three-run shot that gave the Angels a 9-7 lead. The 6-foot-2 backstop had been cold coming into the contest, going 2-for-27 (.074) in the previous eight games heading into Saturday. The right-handed hitter's slash line currently stands at .254/.289/.485 with a .334 wOBA and 114 wRC+. With 14 runs scored and 23 RBI, he still ranks within the top 10 in fantasy scoring at the catcher position. A 68.2 percent contact rate and 33.1 percent strikeoutrate don't foretell a return to a solid batting average, but a 17.0 percent barrel rate should mean the home runs will continue throughout theseason.
