Die hard White Sox and Angels fan. I joined the Rotoballer family in January 2018, and I've been writing about baseball in one way or another since 2014. I spent the 2016 season as the beat writer covering the Ogden Raptors for the local newspaper, and from 2018-2020 I was the social media manager and team photographer for the Bristol Pirates (RIP Appalachian League).

Chris Bassitt Will Throw On Flat Ground Thursday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt (head) is scheduled to throw on flat ground on Thursday, according to Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will make his next start on the mound on Friday in the series opener with the Astros, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register.

Mike Yastrzemski Day-To-Day With Ankle Injury

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (ankle) is day to day with an ankle contusion, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Yastrzemski exited Wednesday's game in the eighth inning after going 0-for-2 with a walk against the Rockies. He's been hitting well recently, as he's now slashing .245/.302/.469 with three homers, seven RBI and seven […]

Hot Fantasy Prospects To Watch For Week 24

It's been a great year of baseball and it's been especially great seeing minor league games being played again. And while there's still a few weeks left in the fantasy season, this week's column will end up being the final "Hot Fantasy Prospects to Watch" of 2021. At this point in time there just isn't […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Anthony Alford went 2-for-4 with two steals, one RBI and a run scored in a 7-6 loss to the Cubs on Saturday. He now has four steals over 26 games with Pittsburgh this season, as he's slashing .203/.272/.405 with four homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored on the year. He really […]


Yoshitomo Tsutsugo Homers In Loss Saturday

Ke'Bryan Hayes Returns To Lineup Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (hand) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday and will bat leadoff against the Cubs.

After a breakout performance in 2020, Hayes has underwhelmed fantasy managers this year with a […]


Bailey Ober (SP, MIN) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Out of the pitchers available in over 50 percent of leagues, you'd be hard-pressed to find one who had a better month of August than Ober. Over his last five starts he's recorded a 2.30 ERA, 1.098 WHIP and 23.9 percent […]


J.A. Happ (SP, STL) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Happ was not putting up great numbers with Minnesota this season, but since being traded to St. Louis he has shown some signs of improvement, as he's gone 3-1 with a 4.30 ERA, 1.330 WHIP and 18.7 percent strikeout rate over […]


Mike Minor (SP, KCR) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Yet another pitcher who has been inconsistent on the mound this year, Minor's overall numbers are not good this year as he is 8-12 with a 5.25 ERA and 1.258 WHIP over 152 2/3 innings of work. He's had some nice […]


Tarik Skubal (SP, DET) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Skubal enters Week 24 coming off a rough showing in his last start against Oakland, where he allowed six runs over five innings of work to fall to 8-12 on the season. Before that, Skubal had looked great over his first […]


Steven Matz (SP, TOR) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: While inconsistent at times, Matz has been on a good run over his last nine starts where he's gone 3-3 with a 2.31 ERA, 1.286 WHIP and 17.2 percent strikeout rate across 46 2/3 innings. Matz kicks off the week against […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 24

Left-handers of the world unite! In this week's column we're going heavy on the southpaws, as only one of the five pitchers featured is a right-hander. But before we get into that, let's recap the past couple weeks as always. Looking back at Week 22 it was a rough week for two-start streamers, as only […]


Tyler Gilbert (SP, ARI) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he hasn't repeated the performance from his first career start, Gilbert has still been solid on the mound over three starts now, going 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA, 1.000 WHIP and 14.9 percent strikeout rate over 19 innings of work. […]


Zach Davies (SP, CHC) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a rough year for Davies, who currently sports a 6-10 record, 5.00 ERA and 1.485 WHIP. He had a nice stretch through June and July, and after back-to-back disastrous starts to open August, Davies has posted a 3.24 ERA, […]


Edward Cabrera (SP, MIA) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: One of Miami's highly touted pitching prospects, Cabrera put up decent but not great numbers in his major league debut on Wednesday, where he allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 6 1/3 innings […]


Austin Gomber (SP, COL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: Gomber has looked pretty solid on the mound in his first year with Colorado, going 9-8 with a 4.38 ERA, 1.198 WHIP and 23.9 percent strikeout rate across 111 innings of work. Interestingly enough, most of Gomber's struggles have come on […]


Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 23

Another week, another column and five more two-start streamers to take a look at. There's only a few weeks left in the season, so now more than ever these two-start streamers are going to be important when it comes to making a last minute push in the standings. Before we get to Week 23, let's […]


J.T. Realmuto Could See More Time At First Base

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto could see increased playing time at first base over the final weeks of the season, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. The move is being made for several reasons according to Zolecki, including using Realmuto as a part-time replacement for Rhys Hoskins now that he's done for the year. This […]


Mike Moustakas Exits With Hip Tightness

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (hip) exited Saturday's game due to right hip tightness, according to Bobby Nightengale Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Moustakas struck out swinging to lead off the top of the second inning, and he was then replaced on defense in the bottom half of the inning by Asdrubal Cabrera. It's been […]


Santiago Espinal Exits Saturday With Hip Injury

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal (hip) exited Saturday's game with a right hip flexor strain, the team announced on Twitter. Espinal had gone 0-for-1 at the plate prior to exiting in the bottom of the third inning against the Tigers. He's really only been an option in very deep formats this season, as he's […]


Charlie Blackmon Not In Lineup On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup on Saturday night. This looks to just be a night off for Blackmon, who has started in eight of the team's last 10 games. He's been on fire over his last 15 games, where he's slashing .292/.327/.500 with three homers, 11 RBI and nine […]


Wil Myers Returns To Lineup Saturday Night

It was his third multi-hit performance in his last five games, as he's now slashing .240/.330/.378 with eight homers, 47 RBI and 31 runs scored over 95 games this season. He's a serviceable option in deeper NL-only […]


Ketel Marte Homers Against Phillies Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 1-for-2 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored in a 7-6 loss to the Phillies on Friday. Marte entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning, and then launched his eighth homer of the season in the 10th inning. He's been on fire over […]


Christian Walker Homers In Friday Night Loss

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker went 1-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored in a 7-6 loss to the Phillies on Friday night. It was his seventh homer of the year, as he's now slashing .242/.313/.371 with 37 RBI and 42 runs scored over 87 games this season. Needless to […]


Patrick Sandoval Will Not Pitch Again In 2021

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval (back) will not pitch again in 2021 due to a stress fracture in his back, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register.
