Franmil Reyes In Early Season Slump

Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes hasn't enjoyed the most productive start to the season. Reyes is batting .150 with a .171 on-base percentage in 41 plate appearances to date in 2022. He's struck out 15 times so far while only walking once. It's certainly not an ideal start for the batter, who slugged 30... Read More

Hunter Greene and Justin Steele have looked very sharp to start the 2022 season.

Steven Kwan: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

Steven Kwan was one of the biggest stories to come out of MLB's Opening Week, setting numerous records for most times on base over a player's first X games. Unsurprisingly, the 24-year-old has endured a couple of hitless games and likely won't hit .400. Now that the initial performance is in the rear-view mirror, it's... Read More

Emmanuel Clase Still Awaiting First Save Chance

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase has yet to receive a save opportunity on the season.

Last Monday, Clase entered the game in the... Read More

Naylor missed most of last season due to a major ankle injury, but he... Read More

Finding Waiver Wire Gems on Bad Teams
