Fantasy Baseball Update – July 3

Below are today’s fantasy baseball updates and injury news on your favorite MLB players.


TOP STORY:  The Suzuki Samurai

Kurt Suzuki hit his second solo home run of Sunday’s game in the 12th inning, propelling the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 win over the Oakland A’s. The Braves swept the three-game series as visitors in Oakland, but the best part about Suzuki’s performance? It was against his former team.

The catcher finished the night 2-5 while hitting his 5th and 6th homers of the season.

The Bravos, which are 13-6 in their last nineteen games, are one game under .500 on the year and sit in second place in the NL East. They face division-leading rivals, Washington Nationals, in a four-game series later in the week before the All-Star break.
