It was another disappointing showing for Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (shoulder) in his latest minor-league rehab outing with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Jacob deGrom a Risky Buy-Low Candidate

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom looked like his previous Cy Young self in April, going 2-1 with a 1.35 ERA (2.84 FIP), 33 strikeouts, and only seven walks in 26 2/3 innings over his five starts. Although he bounced back on Wednesday by allowing just two earned runs in six innings in a no-decision against […]

Junior Caminero is an Elite Source of Power

Fantasy managers potentially considering buying low on Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero can probably forget about it. Caminero just snapped a nine-game hitting streak with an 0-for-3 performance in the 11-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday, and before that, he had gone 19-for-64 (.297) with four home runs, two doubles, 11 […]

Now is the Time to Buy Low on Rookie Konnor Griffin

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin was the talk of spring training as one of the best prospects since Ken Griffey Jr. That's a lot of hype to live up to.

Elly De La Cruz Remains a High-End Power/Speed Asset

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz can do things on a baseball field that most big-league players can only dream of.

The 24-year-old […]

Is it Time to Buy Low on Fernando Tatis Jr.?

Somehow, San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. is without a home run with 54 games and 231 plate appearances under his belt in 2026.

Gunnar Henderson Ready to Turn Things Around After Two-Homer Game?

Slowly but surely, Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson has started to look more like himself in May. The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting shortstop went 2-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, and a strikeout in the team's 11-2 rout over the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Camden Yards on Wednesday to raise his season […]

Joc Pederson has Three Home Runs in his Last Two Games

Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson is starting to heat up at the plate.

Both of his […]

Shohei Ohtani Homers, Throws Six Hitless Innings Against Rockies

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani showed why he is baseball's unicorn in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the division-rival Colorado Rockies, delivering as both a hitter and starting pitcher.
