6 League-Winning Fantasy Baseball Hitters: Jeremy Heist's High-Upside Draft Targets

The best way to come out of your fantasy baseball draft with the best chance to win your league is by finding as many players as possible who will outperform their draft cost.

5 Infield Breakout Candidates for Fantasy Baseball (2026)

Five Outfield Fantasy Baseball Draft Targets and Value Picks (2026)

While outfield typically has the most star power out of all of the positions, it is still important to find value at the position in all stages of the draft.

There were plenty of other players who turned into true […]


Nick Pivetta Starting Game 1 of Wild-Card Series

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Nick Pivetta will start Game 1 of the wild-card series on Tuesday against the Cubs, reports AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. This is no surprise, as he has been the Padres' clear ace in 2025, posting a 2.87 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 190 strikeouts, and 50 walks in 181 ⅔ innings. The […]


Pete Alonso to Opt Out of Contract and Enter Free Agency

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso may no longer be a Met, as he plans to opt out of his contract and enter free agency, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. He signed a two-year deal for $54 million prior to the season, but he is ultimately choosing to opt out of his $24 million […]


Clayton Kershaw Not Available for Wild-Card Series

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will not be available for the wild card series, reports David Vassegh of SportsNet LA. However, he would be available for the later series if the Dodgers advance. This makes sense, as Kershaw pitched on Sunday to close out the regular season, striking out seven over 5 1/3 […]


Max Muncy Expected to be Ready for Game 1 of Wild-Card Series

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (lower body) is expected to be ready for the first game of the wild-card series on Tuesday, reports Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.

Garrett Crochet Starting Game 1 of Wild-Card Series

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet will start the first game of the wild card series against the Yankees on Tuesday, reports Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. The 26-year-old will face off against Max Fried in what could be a pitcher's duel, with both starters going into the contest with a regular season […]


Bo Bichette Without a Timeline, Unlikely to Return in Postseason?

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) is still doing some light hitting and throwing, but he doesn't have a clear timeline past that, reports Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. It's hard to know how far he is into recovery until he starts running, as that is the major test for the left knee sprain that […]


Corey Seager Does Light Jogging

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (abdomen) did some light jogging on the field on Monday, reports Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com. He has been out since August 27 after being diagnosed with appendicitis and undergoing an appendectomy. Bruce Bochy stated that the 31-year-old was still pretty sore, but that soreness figures to be the only thing […]


Connor Norby Activated from Injured List

Miami Marlins third baseman Connor Norby (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He only needed to miss the minimum number of days with his quad strain, and he'll step back in as the team's primary third baseman. The 25-year-old was a trendy sleeper pick in deep roto leagues heading into the […]


Edmundo Sosa Could Return Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Edmundo Sosa (groin) could return on Tuesday, reports Matt Gelb of The Athletic. He hasn't played since he was removed from Friday's game early with groin tightness, although it looks like he is recovering enough to avoid a trip to the injured list. The plan is to complete a full workout […]


Alec Bohm Travels with Team to Los Angeles

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm (shoulder) made the trip with the team to take on the Dodgers in LA, reports Matt Gelb of The Athletic. They left many of their injured players at home, so this is a promising sign that he could be activated within the minimum number of days. While he won't […]
