by Todd Lammi Luke Scott went 3 for 3 and delivered two home runs while driving in five runs in a 7-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. Scott has been on a tear since coming off the disabled list on Wednesday, with 5 home runs and 12 RBI in three games. Rookie Matt Wieters debuted [...] by Todd Lammi I am always torn whether St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is somewhat smart, just a little nutty, or a combination of both. In the Cardinals 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, La Russa had Nick Stavinoha batting clean up. Stavinoha is only playing because Ryan Ludwick and Rick Ankiel are [...] by Todd Lammi There is rejoicing in fantasy baseball land Tuesday night as top prospect Matt Wieters of the Baltimore Orioles is expected to be recalled from Triple-A on Friday. It should not take long for Wieters to ascend to the top tier of the catching ranks, based on his expected performance. With injuries to [...] by Todd Lammi It was a painful loss for the Tampa Bay Rays, as the blew a 10-0 lead in an 11-10 loss to the Cleveland Indians. The blown lead was the largest in team history.

He has raised his batting average 40 points in the last seven games up to .240. In addition to slumping at the plate, he has struggled on the base paths this season getting caught [...] by Todd Lammi The Philadelphia Phillies, with the top offense in the National League, continue to club home runs as they now have three players in double digits. Chase Utley went 3 for 4 with 4 RBI and hit his 11th home run of the season. Raul Ibanez (15) drove in three runs and has [...] by Todd Lammi One cannot underestimate the importance of having a solid closer on a major league team and the impact it has on a pitching staff. Since Trevor Hoffman has returned to the Milwaukee Brewers, the Brewers have gone 16-4 with Hoffman picking up 10 saves. Despite missing the first 19 games of the [...] by Todd Lammi The Toronto Blue Jays, first in all of baseball in runs scored, continue to plate runners in bunches, scoring eight runs on Sunday.

At age 36, [...] by Todd Lammi Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Mat Gamel was recalled from Triple-A, but don’t rush to pick him up just yet. It looks Gamel was brought up strictly to serve as the designated hitter in upcoming interleague games and as a pinch hitter off the bench. He struck out as a pinch hitter in [...] by Todd Lammi Could we be seeing the return of the juiced ball? It is not too often you see multiple players breaking their career high in home runs a fifth of the way into the season, regardless of how low the bar is set. Such was the case Wednesday night, as Jason Bartlett has [...] by Todd Lammi With all of the talk in the news again about performance enhancing drugs, it is nice to see there are still some legitimate hitters in the major leagues, as several players had multiple home run games last night. Hitters: Adam Jones hit two home runs, giving him eight on the season, to [...] by Todd Lammi Cameron Maybin was sent to Triple-A by the Florida Marlins. He will get a chance to play every day and rebuild his confidence after being rushed to the major leagues last season by the Detroit Tigers and by the Marlins this year. Maybin needs to work on reducing his strikeout rate, after [...] by Todd Lammi New York Mets starter Johan Santana hurled seven shutout innings with 10 strikeouts to pick up his fourth win of the season in a 1-0 shutout of the Philadelphia Phillies. Santana was dominant in his start, throwing 72% of his pitches for strikes. Jose Reyes added his seventh stolen base of the [...] by Todd Lammi Rick Porcello picked up his second win of the season for the Detroit Tigers in a 9-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. His season so far has been a typical rookie season, especially for someone pitching in the major leagues as the age of 20. Porcello tossed seven shutout innings with three [...] by Todd Lammi Matt LaPorta was recalled from Triple-A by the Cleveland Indians and will get a chance to play with Travis Hafner on the disabled list. LaPorta started in right field batting eighth on Sunday and went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts. In other fantasy baseball news around the diamond on Sunday… Hitters: [...] by Todd Lammi Travis Hafner of the Cleveland Indians was placed on the 15-day disabled list with soreness in his right shoulder. There is a chance that rookie Matt LaPorta could be recalled for the weekend games if the Cleveland Indians decide they need a jolt of offense. In other news around the fantasy baseball [...] by Todd Lammi Jorge Cantu was a one man wrecking crew for the Florida Marlins, going 3 for 3 with two home runs and 5 RBI, to snap the teams’ seven-game losing streak.
