Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

5043 articles

You won't find a bigger Cubs fan than myself. Aside from my love of fantasy sports, which includes MLB, NFL and NBA, I own my own animal care business. I graduated from Columbia College in Chicago and currently reside in Chicago, IL. My love of fantasy sports started for me in the early 2000's and I have steadily been active with the same group of friends year in and year out for every league in baseball, basketball and football. I am hoping to help all RotoBaller members with any questions they may have. I consider myself an expert with minor league prospects, as it is a love of mine. I hope to give the best advice I can to the RotoBaller world!

Madison Bumgarner Expected To Make Another Rehab Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (finger) is expected to make another rehab start Thursday. Manager Bruce Bochy said on Monday that the team will discuss his situation and that it is possible that Bumgarner could return to the big leagues sooner than expected. MadBum has been out the whole season after suffering a […]


Evan Longoria Picks Up Three Hits Monday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria picked up three hits in five at-bats Monday versus the Rockies. Longoria had a pair of doubles and three RBI. Longoria has had a nice season for his new team and is now hitting .259 with eight home runs and 27 RBI.


Hunter Strickland Picks Up The Loss Monday

San Francisco Giants closer Hunter Strickland picked up the loss Monday. Strickland entered a tie game in the bottom of the 10th inning. Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado led off the inning with a walk and would eventually score the winning run on a Chris Iannetta single. Strickland walked two hitters in his one-third of […]


Luis Robert Will Play In Extended Spring Training Monday

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Luis Robert (thumb) is set to play in extended spring training on Monday. It will be Robert’s first action since he tore a ligament in his left thumb during spring training. Robert is still a ways away from making his big league debut, but he should be on the minds […]


Buster Posey Returns To Monday’s Lineup

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (hip) will return to Monday’s lineup and bat third versus the Colorado Rockies. Posey had missed the past two games due to hip soreness. Posey, along with the rest of the Giants lineup, make for good DFS plays, as they will be at Coors Field on Monday evening. Get […]


Gorkys Hernandez Hits Another Home Run Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Gorkys Hernandez hit his fifth home run of the season Friday versus the Cubs. Hernandez didn’t hit a home run at all in 2017, but has heated up lately with three in his last six games. He has been at the top of the order for the Giants and is worth […]


Anthony Rizzo Knocks In A Run Friday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and an RBI on Friday. Rizzo has struggled thus far and is only hitting .211 on the season, but he has driven in 31 runs. Given his track record, Rizzo makes for a nice buy-low candidate.


Ben Zobrist Has A Big Day At The Plate

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ben Zobrist went 2-for-4 Friday afternoon versus the Giants. Zobrist also scored twice and had a pair of RBI which he picked up in the seventh inning and would eventually be the game winning runs. Zobrist does not play everyday but has been in the lineup enough to help fantasy owners with […]


Kris Bryant Knocks In Two On Friday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant went 2-for-4 Friday afternoon with a pair of singles and two RBI. Bryant continues to be one of the best offensive players in the game and now has a .301 batting average to go along with a .983 OPS.


Kyle Hendricks Throws A Gem Friday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks threw seven innings and allowed one run on two hits Friday afternoon versus the Giants. The right-hander also walked two batters and struck out seven. Hendricks’ strong start lowered his season ERA to 3.16. He is scheduled to face the Pirates on the road Wednesday in a favorable matchup.


Matt Davidson Remains Sidelined Friday

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson (back) will miss his third straight game with back stiffness on Friday. Replacing Davidson as the designated hitter will be Daniel Palka. Palka is hitting .267 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 75 at-bats. Palka will bat fourth and is worth a dart throw in DFS […]


Mac Williamson Activated And Starting Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson has been activated from the disabled list. Williamson has been recovering from a concussion and will be in the No. 7 spot Friday versus the Cubs. Williamson offer plenty of power upside and should be owned in most formats.


Kyle Schwarber Resting Friday Versus Giants

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will sit Friday versus the Giants as they will throw left-handed starter Derek Holland. Schwarber has done everything to have a a bounce-back season so far, but manager Joe Maddon still prefers to rest him versus lefties. Ian Happ will be in left field this afternoon and Ben Zobrist will […]


Jose Rondon Hits A Home Run In Second Straight Game

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Jose Rondon hit his second home run in two games. Rondon finished the game 1-for-3 with his three-run blast providing the only runs for the White Sox. Rondon was replacing Matt Davidson (back) who is out with back stiffness and could be avoided in most leagues.


Lucas Giolito Blows Up Thursday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito struggled to get out of the second inning on Thursday versus the Orioles. In 1 1/3 innings, Giolito allowed six hits on seven runs while walking three batters and failing to record a strikeout. The outing raised Giolito’s ERA to 7.53 on the season. Giolito has not had […]


Mac Williamson Will Be Activated Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson (concussion) will be activated Friday. Williamson has 11 home runs in 21 games for Triple-A Sacramento and hit three in five games for the Giants before being placed on the disabled list. Williamson should be owned in all leagues for his power.


Carlos Rodon To Make Second Rehab Start Thursday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) will make his second rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Charlotte. In Rodon’s first rehab start for Low-A Kannapolis, Rodon went five innings, giving up one run and striking out six batters. Rodon has been progressing at every step of his rehab and could return in June. […]


Alex Presley Signs With White Sox

The Chicago White Sox have signed free-agent outfielder Alex Presley to a minor league contract. Presley recently opted out of a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles. The White Sox have had their fair share of injuries in the outfield, and Presley should have a fair chance to get promoted. Presley holds no fantasy […]


Hunter Pence Hitting Well In Rehab

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (thumb) is hitting .309 during his rehab with Triple-A Sacramento. Pence has made some adjustments to his swing and they appear to be paying off thus far. There is still not a clear timetable as to when Pence will return to the club, but it appears it should be […]


Matt Davidson Remains Sidelined Thursday

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson (back) remains sidelined on Thursday. Davidson was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup with back stiffness. Jose Rondon will replace Davidson as the team’s designated hitter and bat fifth. Davidson remains day-to-day.


Welington Castillo Officially Suspended 80 Games

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo was officially suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for Erythropoietin. Castillo is no longer worth owning in any format. Castillo hit .267 with six home runs and 15 RBI. Omar Narvaez will take over behind the dish and can be avoided in all formats.


Charlie Tilson Promoted By White Sox

The Chicago White Sox have called up outfielder Charlie Tilson after placing outfielder Leury Garcia (knee) on the disabled list. Tilson has hit .248 with seven stolen bases for Triple-A Charlotte and can be avoided in all formats.


Leury Garcia Placed On 10-Day Disabled List Thursday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia (knee) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left knee sprain. Garcia was injured when stole third base on Wednesday. Garcia had been hitting the ball well replacing outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring). Trayce Thompson will likely see more at-bats with Garcia sidelined and can be avoided […]


Dylan Covey Pitches Well Wednesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Covey pitched well Wednesday versus the Orioles. Covey was promoted to make the start after the team sent down Carson Fulmer. Covey went seven innings and allowed six hits, one run, one walk and struck out eight. Covey is scheduled to face the Indians on Monday. Covey can be […]


Adam Engel Goes 4-For-4 Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel went 4-for-4 with three runs and two RBI Wednesday. Engel hit his first home run of the season in the contest and also stole his seventh base. Despite the strong performance, Engel is only hitting .212 and should be avoided in all leagues.


Yoan Moncada Fills The Stat Sheet Wednesday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada went 1-for-4 with two runs, three RBI and a walk Wednesday. Moncada’s lone hit was a three-run home run, his seventh of the season. Moncada did strike out twice and has been prone to the strikeout, but with 20/20 potential owners will deal with the strikeouts as long […]


Jeff Samardzija Continues To Struggle

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija continued his rough season on Wednesday by allowing five walks. Samardzija also allowed four hits, four runs (three earned) and struck out two. Samardzija has really struggled with his control this year and now has 23 walks. Samardzija should not be trusted by fantasy owners until he can […]


Jon Lester Suffers Tough Loss Wednesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester pitched well enough for a win on Wednesday, but suffered the loss as the Cubs offense couldn’t get on the board in a 1-0 loss. Lester went seven innings and allowed six hits, one run, one walk and struck out four. Lester is having a nice season and now […]


Leury Garcia Exits Early Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia left Wednesday’s contest early after he sprained his left knee on a stolen base. Garcia finished the game 0-for-2 with a walk. More should be known on Garcia’s status after tonight’s game. He was replaced by Trayce Thompson who would likely take over for Garcia if he should miss […]


Welington Castillo Suspended 80 Games

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo has been suspended 80 games for violating using a PED. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that it is not a steroid that made Castillo fail the drug test. Castillo was hitting .270 with six home runs and 15 RBI. Omar Narvaez will take over the catcher spot and […]
