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).

Nick Pivetta (SP, BOS) - Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pivetta has been somewhat inconsistent all season long, as he currently sports a 9-6 record, 4.43 ERA and 1.286 WHIP with a 26.2 percent strikeout rate over 126 innings of work. His last four starts highlight that inconsistency perfectly, as in […]


Yoshitomo Tsutsugo Hits Pinch-Hit Homer Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo hit a pinch-hit home run in a 4-0 win over the Cardinals on Friday. It was his first of the season, as he's now 3-for-9 with two doubles, a home run, one RBI and two runs scored over four games since joining Pittsburgh. It's been a rough season for […]


Mitch Keller Throws Five Shutout Innings In Win Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller tossed five scoreless innings against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out six in a 4-0 win over St. Louis. Keller has looked good in back-to-back starts now, as he has combined to allow two runs on 15 hits and two walks while […]


Pavin Smith Has Two Hits In Loss Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Pavin Smith went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in a 9-4 loss to the Rockies on Friday. Smith has hit well but is showing no power this month, slashing .283/.296/.321 with eight RBI and eight runs scored over his last 13 games. Despite the recent power outage, Smith […]


Ketel Marte Has Two Hits In Loss Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, a walk, one RBI and a run scored in a 9-4 loss to the Rockies on Friday. He extended his on-base streak to nine games, as he's now slashing .316/.381/.658 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored over that span. […]


Aaron Civale To Make Rehab Start Sunday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Aaron Civale (finger) will make a rehab start with Double-A Akron on Sunday, the RubberDucks announced Saturday on Twitter. Civale has been out since the end of June with a sprained middle finger, and just threw a two-inning simulated game earlier this week. Over 15 starts this season, Civale has gone […]


Tyrone Taylor Expected To Miss 3-4 Weeks

Updating an earlier report, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (oblique) is expected to miss three to four weeks with a right oblique strain, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. This news comes following results from an MRI on Saturday, and considering how close it is to the end of the fantasy season, this pretty much […]


Stephen Piscotty Could Be Facing Surgery

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) could be facing surgery to fix a wrist issue that has been plaguing him all season long, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Piscotty was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the day on Saturday with a sprained left wrist, as he has struggled at the plate […]


Chas McCormick Scratched From Lineup Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (hand) was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to left hand soreness, according to Alyson Footer of MLB.com. McCormick has had a solid rookie campaign for Houston, slashing .260/.319/.466 with 11 homers, three steals, 42 RBI and 39 runs scored over 87 games. With McCormick out, Michael Brantley is starting in […]


Kenta Maeda Exits With Forearm Tightness

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (forearm) exited his start on Saturday with right forearm tightness, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. It's the words that no manager wants to hear when it comes to pitchers, and it's also somewhat concerning given the fact that his start had been pushed back a few days from […]


Travis d'Arnaud Placed On Paternity List

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud was placed on the paternity list on Saturday, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. To replace him on the active roster, the Braves recalled catcher William Contreras from Triple-A Gwinnett. d'Arnaud is slashing .236/.293/.406 with four homers, 17 RBI and nine runs scored over 29 games this season. Expect […]


Tyrone Taylor Lands On Injured List Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right oblique strain, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Taylor had exited Friday's game due to oblique discomfort after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout prior to being replaced on defense. He's been a decent play in deeper formats […]


Alex Bregman Could Be Activated By Monday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (hamstring, quad) is expected to be activated from the injured list soon — possibly as early as Sunday or Monday, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. Bregman has been out of action since mid-June with a hamstring strain, and has since suffered several setbacks in his rehab. It […]


Salvador Perez Scratched From Lineup Saturday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (head) was scratched from the lineup on Saturday against the Cubs, according to Lynn Worthy of the Kansas City Star.

Billy Hamilton Begins Rehab Assignment Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, according to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun Times. Hamilton is in the Knights' lineup as the designated hitter on Saturday and is leading off against the Norfolk Tides. He's been out of action since the beginning […]


Stephen Piscotty Placed On IL With Sprained Wrist

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a sprained left wrist, according to Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News. To replace him on the roster, the Athletics have recalled outfielder Seth Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas. Over 72 games this year, Piscotty is slashing .220/.282/.353 with […]


Diego Castillo Placed On Injured List Saturday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Diego Castillo (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, according to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. Castillo had just blown a save opportunity in his last outing on Thursday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two over […]


Joey Gallo Gets Afternoon Off On Saturday

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Twins. This appears to just be a day off for Gallo, who has started in nine straight games for New York. Since being traded to the Yankees, Gallo is slashing .152/.302/.367 with four homers, eight RBI and 14 runs […]


Luis Robert Not In Lineup Saturday Afternoon

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is not in the starting lineup on Saturday afternoon. This appears to be a day off for Robert, who has started in nine of the team's last 11 games since being activated from the 60-day injured list. Robert has been on a hot streak since his return, slashing .385/.400/.615 […]


Rhys Hoskins Could Return From IL On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) has a chance to be activated from the injured list on Saturday, according to Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Breen reports that Hoskins took batting practice on Friday and fielded ground balls, but was not ready to be activated before Friday's game. Hoskins has been sidelined since […]


James McCann Placed On 10-Day IL Friday

New York Mets catcher James McCann (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with lower back spasms, with the move made retroactive to August 17, according to Justin Toscano of NorthJersey.com. In a corresponding move, the Mets recalled relief pitcher Geoff Hartlieb from Triple-A Syracuse. McCann has had a disappointing year at […]


Tyrone Taylor Exits Early With Oblique Issue

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (oblique) exited early on Friday night due to right oblique discomfort, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Taylor had gone 0-for-2 with a strikeout before he was replaced on defense in the top of the fifth inning by Jace Peterson. Managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment, but given […]


Shane Greene Signs Deal With Dodgers

Free agent relief pitcher Shane Greene has officially signed a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers and is active for Friday's game, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Greene struggled in 19 appearances with Atlanta this season before being DFA'd, going 0-1 with an 8.47 ERA, 1.824 WHIP and 20.5 percent strikeout […]


Jurickson Profar Activated From IL Friday

San Diego Padres utility player Jurickson Profar (COVID-19) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list on Friday, the team announced on Twitter. Profar has been out for two weeks on the IL, and in a rehab game with Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, he went 1-for-3 with two walks. Over 99 games this season, Profar […]


Jake Arrieta Placed On Injured List With Hamstring Strain

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a left hamstring strain, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Arrieta had exited his start on Wednesday with what was described as a mild hamstring strain, as he lasted only 3 1/3 innings in his first outing […]


Anthony DeSclafani Has MRI, No Structural Damage Found

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) underwent an MRI after exiting his start on Wednesday with ankle soreness, and the results came back showing no structural damage, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Guardado reports that DeSclafani received a cortisone shot and is being considered day-to-day. This is good news for managers, as […]


Javier Baez Could Return For Series With Giants

New York Mets shortstop Javier Baez (back) looks to be in line to return to the team without requiring a rehab assignment, and could return sometime during the team's upcoming series with the Giants, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. Manager Luis Rojas said that while it's not official that he'll be able to […]


Francisco Lindor Likely Won't Need Rehab Assignment

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (oblique) likely won't need a rehab assignment before he returns to the team, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic.

AJ Pollock Scratched From Lineup Friday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock (back) was scratched from the lineup on Friday night due to back spasms, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Billy McKinney will now start in right field and is batting seventh in the lineup against the Mets. Pollock has had a productive year at the plate this season, […]


Julian Merryweather Suffers Setback In Rehab

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (oblique) suffered a setback during his rehab assignment and will have his next appearance pushed back, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.
