The 29-year-old owns a 3.38 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP, establishing himself as a reliable late-inning option for the Athletics. Harris struggled in June, posting a 6.30 ERA, but he has consistently shown the ability to […]

After being released by the Angels on April 27 following a rocky start to the season with a 10.13 ERA, Rockies right-hander Jordan Romano is beginning to turn things around with his new club. Romano earned his second save with Colorado on Tuesday, tossing a scoreless inning while allowing one hit and one walk with […]

Cubs right-hander Trent Thornton picked up his second save of the season on Tuesday, continuing to build momentum in Chicago's unsettled closer situation.

DraftKings has a great eight-game slate on the docket for us tonight. For some reason, FanDuel decided to add the early-window games to the slate, making it a massive 14-game slate. I have no idea what the thought is there, but I have notes on both slates tonight in the article. If you have not... […]

It might be 6:00 AM, but I am still flying high after watching my favorite Pittsburgh Pirate, Ryan O'Hearn, smack three home runs yesterday and drive in 10 runs in front of the home crowd in Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, and my favorite strikeout prop of the day was Ian Seymour, who whiffed 12 Yankees in […]

In his second straight outing, Minnesota Twins right-hander Taj Bradley reached double-digit strikeouts on Tuesday evening in the Twins' 3-1 win over the division-rival Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. Bradley was very impressive in picking up his eighth win of the year, allowing only an earned run on three hits (one homer) while walking none […]

Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB. Each year, closers drop like flies, and many MLB teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Relief pitchers are becoming increasingly important […]

Kansas City Royals shorstop/outfielder Tyler Tolbert became just the fifth player in MLB history to record hits in 12 consecutive at-bats on Tuesday in the team's wild 16-12 victory over the New York Mets at Citi Field. For the second straight day, Tolbert recorded five hits while also driving in two and scoring four runs […]

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Ian Seymour had another impressive start on Tuesday against the division-rival New York Yankees after he opened the season in the Rays' bullpen.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler wasn't too happy about being an All-Star Game snub, and he took it out on the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night in the Phillies' 4-1 victory at Great American Ballpark. Wheeler was dominant, allowing an earned run on four hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out a season-high […]

Across 41 1/3 innings (39 games) so far in 2026, Detroit Tigers right-hander Kyle Finnegan has recorded a 2.18 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 31 strikeouts, and one save. The veteran reliever has mostly been deployed in a setup role by Detroit, limiting his utility to fantasy managers. Finnegan's underlying metrics are also worrying, as he's logged […]

New York Mets left-hander Sean Manaea opened the 2026 season in a bulk relief role, but he was moved back into the team's rotation in mid-June. Manaea was bludgeoned for six earned runs across five innings in his most recent outing by the Atlanta Braves. However, the 34-year-old has pitched reasonably well as a starter […]

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Noah Schultz has struggled in his first taste of big-league action so far in 2026, recording a 2-5 record with a 6.00 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and 43 strikeouts across 48 innings (10 starts). After first earning an MLB promotion in mid-April, the 22-year-old was sent back to Triple-A in late […]

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez got off to a slow start to the 2026 season, hitting .241 with four home runs across his first 128 plate appearances before suffering a knee injury in early May. However, since returning from the injury in mid-June, the 24-year-old has started to turn things around. Across 216 plate […]

Across 22 innings (26 games) so far in 2026, Baltimore Orioles right-hander Andrew Kittredge has recorded a 4.91 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 22 strikeouts and one save. While the 26-year-old's overall numbers aren't particularly impressive, he's been much better of late. Dating back to June 11, Kittredge has allowed just one earned run across […]

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (hand) has been on the 10-day injured list since mid-May due to a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. However, Jeffers began a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday and could be on the verge of a return to the big leagues. The 29-year-old got off to […]

Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn (illness) was pulled early from his start on Tuesday against the hosting Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park due to an illness, manager Mark Kotsay told Jason Burke of Inside the A's. Kotsay said Ginn's energy level was dropping after the game. "He gave us everything he had," Kotsay said. The 27-year-old […]
