Chris Meaney of FNTSY Sports Network takes a closer look at the Fantasy Baseball News, Notes & Injuries from Thursday, April 7th – Twitter style
Jean Segura continued his hot start to the season by adding another two hits to his Diamondbacks resume. He now has two hits in all of his four games with Arizona and the two last night were solo home runs. His second an inside the park home run which was good for Arizona, not so much for Kyle Schwarber and the Cubs.

Please be OK, Kyle Schwarber. — Jesse Spector (@jessespector) April 8, 2016
Cubs broadcast just reported initial tests revealed sprained left ankle for Kyle Schwarber. MRI tomorrow. Positive, for now.
— Brad Evans (@YahooNoise) April 8, 2016
Thoughts are with Schwarber and not just from a Fantasy Baseball perspective. You never want to see someone go down like that. Looks like he avoided a serious knee injury, but he’s most likely headed for the DL.
Catcher Replacements – Under 60 percent owned. Francisco Cervelli – 57%. Miguel Montero – 22%. Wilson Ramos – 29%. Nick Hundley – 27%. Yasmi Grandal – 28% – Back Tuesday. Derek Norris – 45%. Yadier Molina – 45%
As for the Cubs, they’ll be just fine.
Tonight’s must-have Anthony Rizzo has a Home Run, a Triple, a Single, a Walk, a Hit by Pitch, 6 RBIs and 3 Runs. Favorite if you played him! — DailyFantasyInsider (@dfinsider) April 8, 2016
Six runs now for Dexter Fowler. Guy may score 150 times this season.
— Chris Meaney (@chrismeaney) April 8, 2016
The Cubs have 29 runs in three games! Are they ever in for a year. Rizzo was 38.2% owned the MLB $30K Moonshot and he ended up with 43 DraftKings points.
Must have been the cereal…

None of Anthony Rizzo’s teammates knew about his cereal coming out:”He slipped that one by me,”Bryant said. “BryzzO’s would have been great”

Jay Bruce also had two jacks and finished with three hits and five RBI. He led all batters with nine total bases.

Jay Bruce swinging for a trade.

Jay Bruce just tied Ken Griffey Jr. on the Reds’ all-time home run list, which is sad in at least 10 or 15 different ways. — Jon Tayler (@JATayler) April 7, 2016
I think Jean Segurà needed a change of scenery, just like Starlin Castro to perform better

Starlin Castro’s 8 RBI thru 3 games are most by a player in his 1st 3 games with Yankees, breaking Shelley Duncan’s mark (via @EliasSports) — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) April 8, 2016
Starlin Castro has now hit home runs in two straight games. He’s also 7-for-12 as a Yankee.
For Bryce Harper’s 99th career home run, he sends it to the MOON.https://t.co/8NWW1R2FdA

Bryce Harper now one away from 100 in his career. Jose Abreu, Manny Machado and Yunnel Escobar also went deep. First of the season for all three and the first hit for Escobar as an Angel. He’d later drive in another run with a single. The new leadoff man could have some value in leagues if he can get on base for Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. Escobar finished last season with the 13th highest OBP.
Tyler White with his third hit of the game. 6-for-9 start this season. — Julia Morales (@JuliaMorales) April 7, 2016
Tyler White had a two-run homer and a two-run single delaying the arrival of A.J. Reed.
