Bryce Harper Promoted To Harrisburg & Other Fantasy Baseball News
If you listened to our Sit Em/Start Em expert James Bryce, you rode Joel Pineiro to his 5-1 victory over the Tigers last night. His one strikeout, three walk performance wasn’t his best of the season, but he got the win with minimal damage to your ERA and WHIP. Be sure to check out the rest of James’ picks here.
Keep an eye on the status of Troy Tulowitzki, who left last night’s game with tightness in his right quad.
Brian Duensing (6-7) outdueled David Price, as the Twins beat up the Rays, 7-0. Duensing twirled a complete game six-hitter, striking out seven but yielded four walks. Those familiar with Duensing's advanced metrics knew this was coming, and know there should be more games like this to come.
48% owned Daniel Murphy of the Mets is batting .388 with 13 RBIs over the last two weeks and is eligible at 1B, 2B, 3B and OF in Y! leagues.
Mark Reynolds (19,20) and Freddie Freeman (10,11) each blasted two fireworks into the stands to celebrate this nation’s independence.
Travis Snider produced three doubles and drove in a run in his return to the Blue Jays against the BoSox. This post-hype outfielder is owned in just 19% of Y! leagues.
Edwin Jackson’s .341 BABIP leads us to believe that his luck is due to improve in the near future. Additionally, with a 3.13 FIP, Jackson may be a starter to target in the second half.
Balk Off: Kansas City Royals’ All-Star Aaron Crow committed a balk that scored A.J. Pierzynski in the bottom of the ninth to lead the White Sox to a 5-4 victory.
This just in: Michael Bourn is fast as hell! He has 35 stolen bases in 39 chances.
Francisco Rodriguez (21), Craig Kimbrel (25), Chris Perez (20), Fernando Salas (15), Antonio Bastardo (5), Heath Bell (25), David Hernandez (5), Brandon League (23), Joel Hanrahan (25) and Frank Francisco (10) each earned saves last night.
The Texas Rangers have agreed to pay a record $5 million bonus to 16 year-old Nomar Mazara of the Domincan Republic. Yes, 16.
In need of short term stolen bases? Emilio Bonafacio has swiped six in the past two weeks while batting .288 for the Florida Marlins and can be used at 3B, SS and OF.A lot of great pitching duels on tap for today: James Shields vs. Scott Baker, Felix Hernandez vs. Trevor Cahill, Tim Stauffer vs. Matt Cain and CC Sabtahia vs. Carlos Carrasco
