New York Mets second baseman Marcus Semien (elbow) was diagnosed with a Grade 3 hip-flexor strain, and he will be out four to six weeks at a minimum, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Semien tried to play through the injury until it severely limited his movement. Outfielder Tyrone Taylor had a […]

Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman/designated hitter Liam Hicks (back) took part in a full day of baseball activities on June 26 and is swinging without limitations and can catch. If Hicks continues to make progress, MLB.com suggests he's likely to come off the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible on Tuesday. Hicks was put on […]

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that All-Star outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs) is still taking things slow, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Judge is coming up on four weeks on the 10-day injured list due to a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, but it […]

Atlanta Braves infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon has never had much power or speed in his seven-plus years in the big leagues with four different teams as a utility player, but he has recently become more attractive off the waiver wire in fantasy baseball leagues as a short-term boost during his hot streak with the Braves. Dubon […]

Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth is quietly hitting .276 (83-for-301) in his second year in the major leagues for a resurgent White Sox club in 2026. Meidroth hit .253/.329/.320 with only five home runs, 23 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 54 runs scored in 122 games (505 plate appearances) in 2025 in his rookie […]

Boston Red Sox infielder Caleb Durbin has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball recently, and he went 1-for-4 at the plate with two RBI, a run scored, two stolen bases, and a strikeout in the team's 5-4, 10-inning win at Fenway on Sunday to help Boston complete a four-game sweep over the division-rival […]

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is slashing just .204/.290/.311 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 29 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 76 games so far in 2026. His slow start to his fourth year in the big leagues with the A's has caused him to be dropped in many fantasy baseball leagues. However, he […]

The Athletics have been going with a closer-by-committee approach late in games, with right-handed reliever Elvis Alvarado in the mix alongside lefty Hogan Harris and right-hander Mason Barnett. However, only fantasy managers desperate for saves in deeper leagues should even consider snagging Alvarado off the waiver wire right now. The 27-year-old Dominican is currently 3-3 […]

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Jared Jones has struggled through six starts since returning from the UCL surgery he underwent in May of 2025, pitching to the tune of a 5.76 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and nine walks in 25 innings pitched. It's expected that one is to struggle from an injury like he suffered; however, the […]

The Colorado Rockies have seven games at Coors Field this week, and shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, who has struggled this season with a .209/.255.330 slash line, should have an opportunity to get hot at the plate with the Rockies playing in the hitter-friendly ballpark all week. While Tovar has been useless in fantasy in 2026, he […]

New York Yankees switch-hitter Jasson Dominguez has struggled mightily in 2026, slashing .214/.250/.405 with three home runs, eight RBI, four stolen bases, and only seven runs scored. Dominguez has seen a massive increase in playing time and opportunity due to injuries to Yankees outfielders Aaron Judge (ribs) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf), and, unfortunately, has not […]

Cincinnati Reds 28-year-old outfielder JJ Bleday has cooled off a bit at the plate of late, as he's only hitting .163 with a .628 OPS in June. However, he's still hitting .241 with a .859 OPS on the season with 13 home runs, three stolen bases, 29 runs scored, and 37 RBI. In May, Bleday […]

Cincinnati Reds 24-year-old outfielder Noelvi Marte has had a tough season thus far in 2026, slashing only .191/.258/.371 with four home runs, four stolen bases, 12 runs scored, and six RBI. On June 26, he delivered a pinch-hit, two-run go-ahead home run to help seal the win for the Reds against the Pirates, but outside […]

Every season, fantasy managers see highly-regarded prospects not only earn the call to the big leagues, but also make a high impact for fantasy.

Minnesota Twins rookie left-hander Connor Prielipp came into his start on Sunday against the Colorado Rockies with an ERA over 5.00 through his first 11 major-league starts over 55 2/3 innings pitched. After a strong start to his big-league career, Prielipp had cooled off a bit, but he reminded fantasy managers on Sunday that he […]

There is perhaps no hitter in baseball hotter than Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia Jr. right now. In the Nationals' 6-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles in Sunday's series finale, Garcia went 3-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, five RBI, and three runs scored to boost his season batting average to .279 and […]

Atlanta Braves left-hander Chris Sale had a much-needed bounce-back performance in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits while walking one and striking out 10 in six innings of work. It was Sale's sixth loss of the 2026 season, but it was a […]
