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!

Ketel Marte Stays Hot

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte continued his hot hitting in Tuesday's victory versus the Kansas City Royals. Marte went 2-for-3 with a walk, three runs and a two-run homer to continue his successful season. Not only has Marte been having a great season, he has been red-hot over the last, hitting .354 with six […]


Josh Bell Goes Deep For 10th Homer

Miami Marlins first baseman Josh Bell went 1-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and a solo home run in Monday's loss versus the New York Mets. Bell has been in a huge slump over the past month, with just 13 hits over his last 87 at-bats and Monday's homer was just his second during that […]


Willy Adames Hits 16th Homer

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames provided the only offense for the Brew Crew in Monday's 3-1 loss versus the division rival Chicago Cubs. Adames went 1-for-2 with two walks on the evening, but his one hit was a solo home run off Porter Hodge in the top of the eighth inning. The upcoming free-agent has […]


Will Benson Slugs 11th Homer In Victory

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson played a role in Monday's victory versus the Atlanta Braves. Benson went 2-for-2 with a walk, two stolen bases and a solo home run, before being pinch-hit for with Austin Slater in the top of the ninth inning. On the season, Benson is only hitting .194, but he has provided […]


Ketel Marte Hits 20th Homer

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte continued his strong season Monday versus the Kansas City Royals. The second baseman went 2-for-5 on the evening with a two-run homer, but it would not be enough to lead his team to victory. Marte has been having a huge season, as he is hitting .291 with 20 homers, […]


Hogan Harris Lowers ERA To 2.98 In Victory

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Hogan Harris earned his second victory of the season with a strong performance versus the Houston Astros on Monday. Harris tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings, while allowing seven hits, two walks and striking out seven. The performance lowered his ERA to 2.98 on the season. Despite his low ERA, his xERA […]


Charlie Blackmon Goes Yard In Win

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon went 2-for-6 with a walk and two-run home run in Monday's victory versus the Boston Red Sox. The veteran continues to be productive at the top of the Rockies order and is hitting .253 on the season to go along with seven homers, 34 RBI and five stolen bases in […]


Teoscar Hernandez Crushes 21st Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez continued his strong season by going 3-for-4 in Monday's victory versus the rival San Francisco Giants. Hernandez hit a solo home run, his 21st of the season and added two more RBI in the game to give him three on the evening. The 31-year-old was a free agent this […]


Wyatt Langford Plays Hero On Monday

Texas Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford put together a big game in Monday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. The outfielder went 2-for-5 with a stolen base, run and one RBI. The RBI would be a big one, as it came in the bottom of the tenth inning off Steven Wilson to send the crowd […]


Tarik Skubal Keeps It Rolling In 11th Victory

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal continued to add to his Cy Young resume with his 11th victory of the season versus the division rival Cleveland Guardians on Monday. The left-hander fired seven innings and despite allowing 10 hits, gave up just one run, one walk and recorded six strikeouts. Skubal continues to be rock […]


River Ryan Earns No-Decision In Debut

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan lived up to expectations when he made his big-league debut versus the division rival San Francisco Giants on Monday evening. Ryan tossed 5 1/3 innings and allowed four hits, one run (zero earned), three walks and recorded two strikeouts in a no-decision. The Dodgers top pitching prospect held […]


Phillies Reward Eduardo Tait With Promotion

After a strong performance in the Florida Complex League, the Philadelphia Phillies will promote catcher Eduardo Tait to Single-A Clearwater. Tait, 17, has hit .321 with six homers and 49 RBI over 184 at-bats in Rookie Ball. The left-handed hitter out of Panama makes good contact at the plate at such a young age and […]


Starlyn Caba Earns Promotion To Single-A

The Philadelphia Phillies are set to promote infielder Starlyn Caba to Single-A Clearwater. Caba earns the promotion after hitting .254 with two homers, 17 RBI and 37 stolen bases in 52 games for the Phillies in the Florida Complex League. The 18-year-old is the Phillies No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline and was one of […]


Andrew Painter Throws Off Mound

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) has progressed to throwing off the mound for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in late July of 2023. It's big news for the No. 19 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Despite his progress, the right-hander isn't expected to return to game action until 2025. Painter, […]


Nick Kurtz Puts Pen To Paper

The Oakland Athletics have agreed to terms with first baseman Nick Kurtz, the fourth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. The first baseman winds up signing for around $1.4 million under the slot value, but will still come home with a cool $7 million signing bonus. Not too bad for the 21-year-old out of […]


Hagen Smith Signs First Contract

The Chicago White Sox have reached an agreement with their first-round pick, pitcher Hagen Smith. The fifth overall pick in the 2024 draft has agreed to an $8 million bonus, which just slightly over the slot value suggested of $7,736,700. Signing the contract makes Smith the highest paid left-hander in draft history. Smith, 20, was […]


Kevin McGonigle Promoted To High-A

Detroit Tigers middle infield prospect Kevin McGonigle will join teammate Max Clark in West Michigan after being promoted to High-A. McGonigle, the No. 63 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline earns the promotion with a strong showing in Single-A Lakeland where he hit .326 with four homers, 37 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 60 games. […]


Nick Castellanos Hits 14th Homer

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-0 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The veteran's homer came in the top of the ninth inning off Josh Fleming to give the Phillies some added insurance on the way to their 63rd victory. Castellanos opened the season ice-cold, but has […]


Felnin Celesten Nearing Return

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Felnin Celesten (wrist) is expected to return from injury this week. Celesten has been sidelined this past month with left wrist soreness. When healthy, the 18-year-old out of the Dominican Republic was putting up big numbers for the Mariners Arizona Complex League. During that time, he hit .341 with four triples, […]


Max Clark Earns Promotion

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has earned a promotion to High-A West Michigan. Clark, 19, is the No. 10 prospect in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline and the Tigers top farmhand. The 19-year-old earned the promotion with a strong showing at Single-A Lakeland where he hit .286 with seven homers, 58 RBI and […]


Owen Caissie Returns To Action

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie went 1-for-4 with a run scored on Sunday for Triple-A Iowa. It was his second game with the club after missing two weeks with back tightness. Per MLB Pipeline, the outfielder is the Cubs No. 3 prospect. The Canadian, who was acquired from the San Diego Padres as part […]


Drue Hackenberg Dominates With 16 K's

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Drue Hackenberg had a night to remember for Double-A Mississippi on Sunday. The right-hander was on top of his game with seven innings of one-run ball, in which he allowed three hits with no walks and a 2024 MiLB single-game record 16 strikeouts. It was an incredible performance for the Braves […]


Armando Alvarez Optioned To Triple-A Las Vegas

Prior to the start of the second half of the season, the Oakland Athletics have optioned third baseman Armando Alvarez to Triple-A Las Vegas. The 30-year-old career minor leaguer made his big-league debut a few weeks ago and went 6-for-23 with one RBI during his stay. With Alvarez off to Las Vegas, the Athletics are […]


Rays Add Tyler Zuber To 40-Man Roster

The Tampa Bay Rays have added relief pitcher Tyler Zuber to their 40-man roster and optioned him to Triple-A Durham. It is a procedural move for the veteran pitcher that has not been in the big-leagues since 2021 with the Kansas City Royals. The 29-year-old has looked good this season for Durham with a 2.49 […]


Royals Release Nick Anderson

After being designated for assignment on July 14, the Kansas City Royals announced on Friday that they have released relief pitcher Nick Anderson. The veteran reliever has had success in the past, mainly with the Tampa Bay Rays and threw to a 4.04 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings for the Royals this […]


Dane Myers Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Miami Marlins have placed outfielder Dane Myers (ankle) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 15 with a left ankle fracture. The outfielder was producing solid numbers in limited action this season with a .265 batting average to go along with 2 homers, 14 RBI and four stolen bases in 83 at-bats and […]


Royals To Promote Drew Waters

The Kansas City Royals will recall outfielder Drew Waters when they start the second half of the season on Friday. Waters will take the place of catcher/outfielder MJ Melendez (ankle) who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left ankle sprain. The 25-year-old was once a highly touted prospect when he came up […]


Noelvi Marte Hopes To Turn Things Around In Second Half

After returning from an 80-game suspension for PED's, Cincinnati Reds third base prospect Noelvi Marte has struggled mightily in 16 games with a .175 batting average to go along with one homer, six RBI and two stolen bases. It has many managers wondering what to do with the former top tier prospect in the second […]


Temper Expectations With Rece Hinds

Despite one of the best opening weeks for a player in recent memory, fantasy managers should temper their expectations in the second half for rookie outfielder Rece Hinds of the Cincinnati Reds. Hinds, 23, burst onto the scene last week after being promoted to the Reds and went 11-for-26 with three doubles, five homers, 11 […]


Coby Mayo Looks To Continue Big Season In Second Half

Baltimore Orioles third base prospect Coby Mayo had a huge first half for Triple-A Norfolk, and fantasy managers are hoping that the club will give him a chance to show the world what he has on the main stage. In the first half for Norfolk, Mayo, the No. 15 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline, put […]
