• Struggling Starters and an Aging Catcher-May 7, 2026
Zac Gallen-Diamondbacks-SP Zac Gallen went 6.0 IP and gave up 4 ER on 6 H, 2 BB, and 5 K's against the Pirates. Gallen has struggled to start 2026, posting a 4.70 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 38.1 IP. This is coming off his worst season as a professional (4.83 ERA and 1.26 WHIP). The biggest concern is the sharp drop in strikeouts (14% K) paired with a mediocre 7% K-BB%. His 4.70 SIERA suggests the ...2026

• Phillies Stars Emerging from the Malaise - May 6, 2026
Bryce Harper, 1B (PHI) Harper is heating up. After going 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs on Tuesday, the Phillies superstar has raised his slash line to .286/.377/.571. He has six hits and three home runs in his past two games. His sluggish start is a distant memory, even as his Statcast numbers are slow to climb towards his career norms. Harper always performs best in the warmer summer months so...2026

• Two Veteran Castaways Could Help Bridge The Twins’ Bullpen
The struggling Minnesota Twins bullpen isn’t going to fix itself. Can a few members of the current group step up and become usable pieces? Of course, but it’s unreasonable to dream of contention when you’re hoping for mere passability. As a group, Twins relievers rank 27th in baseball with a 5.03 ERA and a 65.2% strand rate, and dead last with a .266 opponents’ batting average allowed....2026

• NL Week 7 Strategy-May 3, 2026
In The Field C Sean Murphy (hip) is expected to be activated next week for the series against the Mariners. He is likely to get most of his at-bats initially at DH while he is slowly worked in at catcher. This means that C Jonah Heim's time with the club is likely going to come to an end soon. 2B Jorge Polanco (wrist/Achilles) has started baseball activities, but is still weeks away from returni...2026

• Julio is Heating Up - May 2, 2026
Julio Rodriguez, OF, Mariners Julio Rodriguez is finally getting in a groove, going 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Friday's game against the Royals. This makes three homers in the past week, and he is now slashing .262/.333/.400 with four home runs, 16 runs, 16 RBI, and three steals. It's not uncommon to see Rodriguez have a dreadful April, as he has been one of the most consistent slow s...2026

Sal Stewart, 1B, Reds Sal Stewart continued his sensational rookie campaign on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base. He's now slashing a robust .289/.388/.639 with 17 runs, 8 home runs, 20 RBI, and 5 stolen bases.

Jung Hoo Lee-Giants-OF Jung Hoo Lee was 0-4 against the Orioles. He has gotten off to a slow start in 2026, hitting .185 with 1 HR, 4 R, and 7 RBI in 61 PA. He continues to show good contact skills (17.5% K), but his approach has been aggressive (33% O-Swing) compared to last year (26% O-swing). Lee is not hitting the ball particularly hard (36% HardHit and 2% Barrels). His .220 BABIP suggests t...2026

It was his third long ball of the season, to go along with eight runs, nine RBI, and a .314 batting average.
