How to Approach Hitters With Offseason Mechanical Adjustments

Fantasy baseball is inherently reactive. As proactive as fantasy managers try to be in terms of projecting player performance, there is always an information gap between what MLB players are doing (and plan to do in the future) and the publicly available information that fantasy managers leverage. In no aspect of the game is the […]


Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 5

A brief glance at the lineup notes section of this week’s article illustrates what was a busy week in the MLB, giving fantasy managers plenty of opportunities to get ahead using waivers this week. Although most of the recommendations in this article are longer-term focused, fantasy managers should take advantage of lineup movements for short-term […]


Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

Injuries and game postponements have already forced fantasy managers to get creative with their rosters this season, making waivers as important as ever. In addition to shoring up fantasy lineups in the short term, valuable waiver pickups can also become mainstays in fantasy lineups and generate trade value for fantasy managers. It's worth noting that […]


Corey Kluber Allows Three Runs On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber was mediocre on Wednesday, allowing three runs over four innings against the Blue Jays. Under the hood, though, Kluber showed some encouraging signs. Notably, Kluber's velocity was mostly back up to his 2019 numbers after sitting significantly lower during his first two starts. Additionally, Kluber's cutter generated an […]


Jameson Taillon Struggles On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon struggled against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing five runs over 3.2 innings. The Blue Jays tagged Taillon for eight hard-hit balls on Tuesday, a remarkably high number even with inflated exit velocities this season. Notably, Taillon's secondary pitches combined to generate just one whiff on Tuesday, a […]


Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers - MLB Hitter, Pitcher Lineup Picks for Tuesday 4/13

We're nearly two weeks into the regular season and injuries, game delays, and general roster shuffling have already taken their toll on fantasy rosters. In leagues with daily lineups, fantasy managers can navigate those pitfalls and take advantage of favorable matchups with help from RotoBaller's daily MLB streaming articles. Each day, RotoBaller will provide you […]


Gerrit Cole Strikes Out Eight On Monday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole pitched well on Monday, holding the Blue Jays to one run over six innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. Cole found himself in a couple of jams early in the game but retired the last 15 batters he faced after settling in. It's hard to find any […]


Kyle Higashioka Homers Twice On Monday

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka hit a pair of home runs against the Blue Jays on Monday, his first two of the season. Monday was Higashioka's second start of the season, and both came with Gerrit Cole on the mound despite manager Aaron Boone's repeated comments that Higashioka is not Cole's personal catcher this […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 3

We’re only nine days into the 2021 regular season, but there has already been plenty of roster shuffling and player movement this year. Although fantasy managers shouldn’t make decisions based exclusively on less than two weeks of samples, there is one notable league-wide issue worth exploring before diving into this week: the ball. As you […]


Aroldis Chapman Gets A Win On Sunday

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman picked up a win against the Rays on Sunday, tossing a shutout ninth inning with three strikeouts. In typical Chapman fashion, he eclipsed 100 mph with multiple pitches and generated an impressive six whiffs over just 13 pitches (46% swinging-strike rate). Notably, Chapman's fastball usage has continued its downward […]


Gio Urshela Collects Four Hits On Sunday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela finished a triple shy of the cycle against the Rays on Sunday, going 4-for-5 with his first home run of the season. Urshela's home run was a mammoth 453-foot shot to center field, one of three hard-hit balls from the 29-year-old on Sunday. Sunday's strong performance at the […]


Albert Abreu Pitches Well In Season Debut

New York Yankees relief pitcher Albert Abreu pitched well on Sunday, shutting out the Rays over a clean inning with a pair of strikeouts. Although Abreu's command appeared to be shaky, he showcased the high-90s mph fastball and strong slider that made him a top-100 prospect in 2018. As exciting as Abreu's arsenal is when […]


Jordan Montgomery Struggles On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery struggled on Sunday against the Rays, allowing four runs (two home runs) over five innings. The changeup that Montgomery relied on during his first start of the season (34.2% usage rate last start) took a back seat on Sunday, with Montgomery opting to throw his sinker more frequently […]


Clarke Schmidt Seeking Second Opinion

New York Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt (elbow) still isn't throwing, and the 25-year-old is now seeking a second medical opinion on his elbow injury. Schmidt was shut down from throwing in late February with what was described at the time to be an injury similar to tennis elbow, and it's discouraging to hear that […]


Domingo German Still In Yankees Rotation

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German will rejoin the team when the Yankees need a fifth starter again, according to manager Aaron Boone. German was optioned to the team's alternate site following Saturday's start against the Rays, but that move is set to be short-term as the team is shuffling players around for extra […]


Clint Frazier Out Of Lineup Again On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is out of the team's lineup for the second consecutive game on Sunday. Manager Aaron Boone said that the move was just to add balance to the lineup against the Rays, noting that Frazier is healthy and in no danger of losing everyday playing time this season. Fantasy managers […]


Gio Urshela Back In Lineup On Saturday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (illness) is back in the team's lineup on Saturday after missing Friday's game with side effects from the coronavirus vaccine. As expected, Urshela's stint on the COVID injured list was short-lived, and fantasy managers should have no lingering concerns about Urshela's general health going forward. Urshela has been […]


Yankees Activate Rougned Odor

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor was activated by the team on Saturday, and infielder Tyler Wade was optioned to the team's alternate site in a corresponding move. Odor is unlikely to see much consistent playing time as the team's backup infielder -- the more versatile Tyler Wade has struggled to find playing time […]


Aaron Judge Back In The Lineup On Saturday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (side) is back in the team's lineup on Saturday after missing consecutive games (with an off day in between) with general side soreness. It's encouraging to see Judge back in the lineup, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor Judge's health over the next few days -- having him […]


Aaron Hicks Hits First 2021 Home Run

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks hit his first home run of the regular season on Friday, crushing a 406-foot blast against Rays starter Rich Hill. Even with the new exit velocity inflating ball, Hicks had picked up only one hard-hit ball coming into Friday's game, in part because he's struggled to put the ball […]


Corey Kluber Struggles On Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber pitched poorly on Friday, allowing five runs (three earned) over only 2.1 innings. Kluber didn't get any favors from the team's defense, but Kluber didn't help himself much either. Notably, both Kluber and manager were encouraged by Kluber's stuff on Friday despite his poor results. That optimism wasn't […]


Yankees Option Mike Ford On Friday

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford was optioned back to the team's alternate site following Friday's game against the Rays. Ford was called up to replace third baseman Gio Urshela (illness) on the team's roster as Urshela dealt with side effects from the coronavirus vaccine, so Ford's short stay with the team was expected. […]


Gio Urshela Placed On The COVID-19 Injured List

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela was placed on the COVID-19 injured list because of side effects from the vaccine, explaining why he was scratched from Friday's lineup. Players placed on the COVID-19 injured list can be reactivated as soon as they are healthy, so Urshela should be back in the team's lineup within the […]


Gio Urshela Scratched From Friday's Lineup

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela was scratched from the team's lineup on Friday for undisclosed reasons. Urshela injured his neck while sliding during Wednesday's game, but the Yankees gave no indication that Urshela would miss any time from that injury, and Urshela was scratched about an hour after the original lineup was released […]


Aaron Judge Remains Out Of The Lineup On Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (side) remains out of the team's lineup on Friday. Judge had been held out of Wednesday's game with general side soreness, but it's surprising to see him remain out of the lineup after two consecutive days off. The Yankees are likely being extra cautious with Judge's health, but if […]


Brett Gardner Picks Up Two Hits On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and a run scored against the Orioles on Wednesday. Gardner came into the season as the team's fourth outfielder, but he's already collected three starts this season and found his way into five games as the Yankees are exercising caution with their […]


Gleyber Torres Continues Slow Start To 2021

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout on Wednesday, bringing his OPS down to .625 for the season and extending his streak of games with at least one strikeout to six. Torres also made a costly throwing error for the Yankees, calling into question (again) his long-term positional […]


Gio Urshela Picks Up Two Hits On Wednesday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela picked up a pair of hits, including his first extra-base hit of the season, against the Orioles on Wednesday. Although Urshela's arm strength is reportedly down this season -- something that remains worth keeping an eye on after he underwent offseason surgery to remove a bone chip from […]


Jameson Taillon Pitches Well In Yankees Debut

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon looked good in his first start of the season on Wednesday, striking out seven over 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball. Notably, Taillon ditched his sinker (19.8% usage rate in 2019) entirely on Wednesday, an adjustment that should help him maintain an elevated strikeout rate. Additionally, although Taillon's […]


Aaron Judge Dealing With Side Soreness

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (side) is dealing with general side soreness, according to manager Aaron Boone. Boone declined to label Judge's injury more specifically than that, but it seems like the Yankees are just being cautious with Judge by keeping him out of the lineup on Wednesday before the team's off-day on Thursday. […]
