Fielder Hits Brewers’ Only RBI Against Peavy

Milwaukee 1B Prince Fielder was one of the only Brewers to have a decent day at the plate Saturday against Jake Peavy and the Padres. Fielder drove in the only run of the game — the Brew Crew won 1-0 — as he went 1-for-3 with a double. He added a walk. Fielder hit only .228 in August and hasn’t begun September much better. He’s obviously not this bad, but he’s not the MVP candidate we saw last year either. Consider him on the low end more than the high end of No. 1 Fantasy 1B. Still, he’s got a lot of power.

Fielder’s Power, Average, Drying Up

Brewers 1B Prince Fielder went 0-for-4 with a walk Friday against the Padres and is batting only .161 (10-for-62) with zero home runs over his last 16 games. Fielder hit only .228 in August and hasn’t begun September much better. He’s obviously not this bad, but he’s not the MVP candidate we saw last year either. Consider him on the low end more than the high end of No. 1 Fantasy 1B. (CBS Sports)

Weakened Fielder Sitting Wednesday

Prince Fielder is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Mets, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. Milwaukee is facing its fifth left-handed starter in six games, while Fielder has gone just 3-for-25 and has failed to homer in the last 17 games (66 at-bats). Mike Rivera gets the nod in Fielder’s place on Wednesday. (Rotowire)

Fielder Needs To Get His Groove Back

Brewers 1B Prince Fielder had two singles and one RBI in five at-bats Sunday against the Pirates. He also scored once. Fielder is 7-for-30 (.233) with five RBI in his last seven games. Fielder hasn’t done a lot at the plate since mid-August and hasn’t had a homer since Aug. 13. Still, he has enough offensive potential that you can’t afford to sit him in Fantasy for fear of breaking out. (CBS Sports)

Fielder Now Just a Singles Hitter?

Milwaukee 1B Prince Fielder didn’t produce too much power on Tuesday in a 12-0 win over the Cardinals but did notch three singles in six at bats. Fielder’s three singles produced two RBI. While you would never bench a guy like Fielder, his stats have been very mediocre in Fantasy play of late. You just have to stick with the big man and hope he can pull through for you in the playoffs. (CBS Sports)

Fielder Warming Up at the Plate

Brewers 1B Prince Fielder, who had gone six games without an RBI earlier this month, now has five in his last three games after his 2-for-4, two-RBI performance in a win over the Pirates on Saturday. While you would never bench a guy like Fielder, his stats have been very mediocre in Fantasy play of late. You just have to stick with the big man and hope he can pull through for you in the playoffs. (CBS Sports)

Fielder Launches 27th Homer Against Padres

It was Fielder’s 27th on the season, and fifth in the month of August. Coincidentally, the Brewers are 7-0 since Fielder shoved Manny Parra back on August 4. (Rotoworld)

Fielder Extends Hitting Streak to Eleven Games

Prince Fielder extended his hitting streak to 11 games with an RBI single in the first inning Friday night off Washington RHP Collin Balester. Fielder hasn’t really been terribly hot during the streak. He has exactly one hit in each of his last five games. With his pop, though, you have to keep him active in any Fantasy format.

Fielder Clears the Air, Clears the Yard

Prince Fielder made amends by apologizing, then hit a two-run homer Tuesday night that helped the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 and quickly move beyond their ugly altercation in the dugout. The Brewers were on their best behavior a day after Fielder shoved pitcher Manny Parra in the dugout during a series-opening loss. Fielder apologized before the game on Tuesday, then helped Milwaukee’s uptight offense relax by hitting his sixth homer in his last nine games. Fielder’s homer in the eighth off Nick Masset extended his hitting streak to nine games. He finished 1-for-4 with two runs and one walk. Fielder is 12-for-32 (.375) with the six homers and eight RBI during the hitting streak. Fielder is not only landing punches off the field, he is also doing damage in between the white lines and starting to produce like we expected from Day 1. Continue to start Fielder in all Fantasy formats. “That’s just something that happened in the moment,” he said. “I can’t take it back. I could have handled it better. But I don’t apologize for the full meaning behind it and the fire.” Fielder was included in Wednesday’s lineup. (CBS Sports, Rotoworld)

Fielder Hot at the Plate, in Dugout, Under the Collar

Prince Fielder got into an altercation with Manny Parra in the dugout after Parra was removed from his start on Monday. Cameras caught Fielder shoving Parra to the dugout floor. Parra had just departed after giving up six runs in six innings in the contest. Fielder then shoved Parra twice before teammates pulled him away. Fielder remained in the game afterwards.It was reminiscent of Aug. 2 last season, when manager Ned Yost got into a heated dispute with catcher Johnny Estrada in the dugout tunnel during a loss to the Mets and players intervened. That came during a run of 10 losses in 14 games, a fade that dropped Milwaukee out of first place. Analysis: Fielder is unlikely to be suspended by the team in a pennant race, so consider him a must-start in leagues. He had been hot and resurgent as a Fantasy superstar again after a slow start. (Rotoworld, CBS Sports)

ESPN has footage of the shoving match. Here’s the fallout of the altercation:

Fielder Homers in Fourth Straight Game

Prince Fielder went 2-for-3 with two homers as the Brewers topped the Braves on Saturday. He’s now gone deep in four consecutive games. He drove in three runs with the two bombs, and now has 25 homers and 65 RBI on the season. The big fella is seeing the ball very well lately, as he’s now gone deep five times over the last four contests. In 16 games since the All-Star break, Fielder is hitting .339 with seven homers and 13 RBI despite the struggles of his teammates in the recent four-game set against the Cubs. (Rotoworld, Rotowire)

Fielder Homers, Smashes Bat, Gets Tossed

Prince Fielder was ejected in the ninth inning of Thursday’s game against the Cubs for arguing balls and strikes. Fielder grounded out in the ninth, smashed his bat into pieces, and then proceeded to give the umpire plenty of verbal abuse before being tossed. At least he’s not hurt, though Brewers fans are probably a little hot under the collar as well after a four-game sweep at the hands of the arch rival Cubs. Fielder did homer in the game, his 22nd of the season. (Rotowire)

Fielder Gets on Base Four Times Against Cardinals

Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder doubled and singled in three at-bats on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Fielder also walked twice and scored a run for the Brew Crew. Fielder’s average is now up to .278 and he remains a must-start in all leagues and could be due for a huge second half for the contending Brewers. (CBS Sports)
