Seiya Suzuki Cooling Off After Hot Stretch

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki was on an unbelievable run at the plate, but he has cooled off lately.

Chase DeLauter is Still Looking for Power

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter has been posting decent results with the bat, but continues searching for power. Over the last month, DeLauter has gone 27-for-93 at the plate with one home run, 14 RBI, and 13 walks. His ability to draw walks is encouraging, but the lack of power has certainly been frustrating for […]

Ryne Nelson is Gaining Traction After Another Strong Outing

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson is becoming an intriguing fantasy pickup after posting back-to-back strong outings. On May 8, Nelson tossed 6.2 innings, allowing one earned run while striking out seven batters in a no-decision against the New York Mets. The right-hander continued that success during Wednesday's outing against the Texas Rangers. Nelson threw […]

Detroit Pistons guard Duncan Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is a tough blow to the Pistons.

Keegan Murray Undergoes Ankle Procedure

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) underwent an arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies in his left ankle, according to James Ham.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (side) has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.

Moises Ballesteros is Mashing his Way into Must-Have Catcher Territory

Chicago Cubs catcher Moises Ballesteros is quickly making a name for himself with the way he has been swinging the bat. Through 35 games this season, Ballesteros is slashing .277/.340/.521 with six home runs, 19 RBI, and 10 walks. He has fallen into a cold spell recently, going 3-for-36 over the last two weeks.

Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen came into the season swinging a hot bat, but he has cooled off since then. Jensen has smashed six home runs with 17 RBI and 15 walks through his first 37 games this season. He has hit a cold spell recently, but could still be someone worth stashing in […]

JR Ritchie has Promising Upside

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher JR Ritchie turned in an excellent debut when he got the call against the Washington Nationals on April 23.

Bryce Eldridge is a Top Power Source on the Waiver Wire

San Francisco Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge could be an interesting option for fantasy managers seeking help in the power category.

Graham Ashcraft is Priority Handcuff Closer Stash

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Graham Ashcraft is likely to be in the mix for the saves going forward. The Reds need a new ninth-inning option after Emilio Pagan (hamstring) went down with an injury. Ashcraft got the first crack at the closer role, but was unable to shut down the Chicago Cubs during Wednesday's game. […]

Spencer Miles is Named Opener for Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Spencer Miles will operate as the opener for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
