Fantasy Baseball Closer Depth Charts - MLB Bullpens and Saves

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 […]


Andres Gimenez Emerging As Waiver Wire Target; Hot Start Adding Value

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez has established himself as an intriguing waiver wire option for fantasy managers with his hot start to the 2026 season. The 27-year-old is in his second year with Toronto and owns an .848 OPS with two home runs in nine games. Known for his defense, Gimenez has taken […]


Kazuma Okamoto Struggles Continue; Adjustment Period Still Evident

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Kazuma Okamoto struggled again Sunday in a 3-0 loss vs. the Chicago White Sox, finishing 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk. This marks the 29-year-old's sixth game with multiple strikeouts, as he continues to have trouble limiting swing-and-miss. Okamoto is in his first MLB season and was known for […]


Garrett Mitchell Off To Hot Start; Priority Waiver Target On The Rise

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell is off to a hot start this season and has become a priority waiver wire target as he continues his early success. The 27-year-old is hitting .318 with a 1.014 OPS in eight games, showing an increase in power numbers early. Four of Mitchell's seven hits have gone for extra […]


Jordan Walker Breaking Out Early; Must-Add Waiver Target Emerging

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker has enjoyed an early breakout in the 2026 season, emerging as a must-add waiver wire target with significant upside. The 23-year-old has already recorded two three-hit games along with two home runs, and is slashing .300/.382/.567 in nine games. Walker has always been a power threat, but he has […]


Gregory Soto Emerging As Must-Add Bullpen Option; Waiver Wire Value Rising

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Gregory Soto is emerging as a key waiver wire opportunity, showing strong upside early in the 2026 season. The left-hander has allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings, while relying heavily on swing-and-miss stuff with 11 strikeouts. His 52.4 K% ranks in the 99th percentile, highlighting his dominance in a small sample. […]


Seiya Suzuki Continues Rehab Assignment; Cubs Eye Weekend Return?

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (knee) is expected to continue his rehab assignment Tuesday and Wednesday before rejoining the team Friday for a weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Mike Trout Exits Early After Getting Hit by Pitch

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Trout was taken out of the contest after getting hit by a pitch during the eighth inning. According to Rhett Bollinger, it sounded like it hit Trout's hand pad, but he was pulled from the contest anyway. Before […]


Kodai Senga Sees Velocity Drop During Sunday's Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga saw his velocity drop during Sunday's start against the San Francisco Giants. Senga was averaging 97.4 mph during his last start. He began Sunday's outing sitting at 96 mph on his fastball. The right-hander was averaging 93-94 mph during his final inning of work. Outside of the decreased […]


Sal Frelick Held Out for Precautionary Reasons

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (side) was held out of the starting lineup during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This isn't shocking considering Frelick exited early during Saturday's contest due to a side issue. Brewers' manager Pat Murphy said Frelick could've played on Sunday, but they decided to play it safe. The Brewers […]


Brandon Lockridge Suffers Hip Injury on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brandon Lockridge (hip) appears to have suffered an injury during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Lockridge looks like he suffered a hip injury during this game, but didn't exit the contest. He was seen hobbling around late in the game, but stayed in through the entire contest. He finished this […]


Carlos Santana Departs with Groin Issue

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Carlos Santana (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Santana singled in his lone plate appearance, but appears to have tweaked his groin in the process. Ildemaro Vargas replaced Santana at first base and could see more action at the cold corner. For now, Santana […]


Addison Barger Exits with Ankle Injury

Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Addison Barger (ankle) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Barger departed the game in the bottom of the sixth inning due to bilateral ankle discomfort. Before exiting the game, Barger went 0-for-3 at the plate. Jays' manager John Schneider said Barger could […]


Hunter Brown Felt Something in His Shoulder on Friday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown (right shoulder) initially felt something in his shoulder on Friday, manager Joe Espada told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. He had some imaging done in Sacramento before flying back to Houston to be evaluated by team doctors. After being evaluated, Brown was placed on the 15-day injured list with a […]


Brett Baty Scratched From Sunday's Lineup

New York Mets first baseman Brett Baty (thumb) was a late scratch after initially appearing in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Manager Carlos Mendoza told Andrew Tredinnick of USA Today that Baty is dealing with a sore left thumb after jamming it on a slide on Saturday. The injury […]


Pete Fairbanks Serving as Opener Before Going on Paternity List

Miami Marlins right-handed pitcher Pete Fairbanks will serve as the opener for Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. After the game, he will be placed on the paternity list. Fairbanks has been excellent, as per usual, in his role as the Marlins' closer early this season. Through three relief appearances, he has a 0.00 […]

George Klassen Called Up to Start on Sunday

The Los Angeles Angels have selected the contract of right-handed pitching prospect George Klassen. He will be the Halos' starting pitcher on Sunday, making his MLB debut against the Seattle Mariners. Klassen was the Phillies' sixth-round pick in 2023, but he made his way to the Angels organization via trade in 2024. He posted an […]


Juan Soto Not in the Lineup on Sunday

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (right calf strain) remains absent from the lineup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Soto suffered the injury on Friday and has been sidelined throughout the weekend. He's not expected to land on the injured list, but there hasn't been an exact timetable for his return. Soto […]

This week, fantasy baseball […]


Jesus Luzardo Dominates Rockies on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo was dominant on Saturday in his first win of the 2026 season against the Colorado Rockies, allowing just one earned run on five hits while walking none and striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings of work at Coors Field in Denver. It was a nice bounce-back outing early on […]


Byron Buxton Back in Sunday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (forearm) is back in Sunday's lineup against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Nick Martinez, according to MLB.com. Buxton will serve as the designated hitter and will bat second for the Twins. The 32-year-old oft-injured veteran was removed from Friday's game against Tampa after being hit in the forearm […]

Seattle Mariners infielder Brendan Donovan (groin) is dealing with some soreness in his groin area and underwent imaging on Saturday, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. The Mariners hope to have a better idea on his situation when the medical staff examines the results of his tests. For now, he's being considered day-to-day […]


Mookie Betts Heading to the Injured List With Oblique Strain

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that shortstop Mookie Betts's (oblique) MRI exam showed a right-oblique strain after he was pulled from Saturday's game early against the Washington Nationals, according to Jack Harris of The California Post.
