Chicago White Sox outfielder Tristan Peters accomplished history during Friday's contest against the Athletics. Peters became the seventh player in franchise history to hit for the cycle.

Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder Esmerlyn Valdez is making a loud waiver case with impact power that is hard to ignore. The 22-year-old is hitting .293 with seven home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs, and a .993 OPS over 82 at-bats after going deep again Thursday against the Atlanta Braves.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (calf) is starting in right field and batting cleanup for Friday's series opener on the road against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Hunter Greene, per MLB.com.

Some weeks, the waiver wire report is full of safer and "boring" targets, which isn't a bad thing. But I'd be lying if I said that weeks like this one weren't a bit more exciting to write. This week's waiver wire report is chock-full of upside, both at the plate and on the mound. The […]

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Jose Caballero hit two home runs to begin the week on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays, reminding fantasy managers that he can show off some power occasionally in addition to his speed.

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez has hit a brief skid at the Triple-A level but still remains an elite stash target in all formats.
