Domonic Brown Blasts First Homer of Season & Other Fantasy Baseball News

Picture

The Phillies young stud Dominic Brown hit his first home run of the season. After starting off the year on the DL, Brown is now hitting .333 with 1 HR and 5 RBI. It is safe to say that if he remains healthy he will eventually become the everyday right fielder for the Phils. 

Zack Greinke collected his fourth win of the season hurling six innings giving up two earned runs and striking out six against the bruising Reds lineup.

Alex Cobb was called up for a spot start for the Rays Tuesday and rewarded their faith with a stat line. Cobb was rated as one of the top 20 prospects in the Southern League by Baseball America in 2010. 

Mitch Talbot rebounded from one of the worst starts ever (3IP, 12H, 8R) with a solid 6.1 IP giving up one earned run and striking out three. 

Justin Morneau hit two home runs on Tuesday and in his last eight games is hitting .360 with two long balls and 7 RBI. This could mean then Morneau is finally getting healthy.

James McDonald had a strong outing against the Mets. In his win, McDonald went six innings giving up one earned run and five strikeouts.

Ryan Ludwick continues to swing a hot bat of late. Tuesday he collected four hits and a RBI.

Cubs closer Carlos Marmol blew his third save of the season giving up six earned runs in only 1/3 of an inning. 

Royals’ rookie phenom Eric Hosmer stole his second base of the season only adding to his fantasy value. 

Anibal Sanchez threw another great game for the fish. He has been absolutely nasty of late and continued his hot streak going eight strong innings giving up two earned runs and striking out eight. I hate to tune my own horn but if you read my sleepers article prior to the season he may be killing it for your team. 

Matt Kemp and Casey Blake provided the power for the Dodgers Tuesday. Both went yard and both had at least three RBI. 

Brandon League seems to have fixed whatever mechanical issue he had earlier and picked up his 15th save of the season. 

Dan Uggla had the day off with hopes that rest can turn around his dismal start to the season. He is batting .178 with a .246 OBP. 

After 2 spot starts in May, Mike Minor was optioned to Triple A-Gwinnett to continue building on his skills.
