Luis Robert (OF, CWS) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  It still remains to be seen whether or not Luis Robert will see the major leagues this season, but he certainly should. He’s been insane in the minors, boasting 21 home runs in the first half with his numbers only getting […]

Renato Nunez (1B/3B, BAL) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Nunez is up to 21 home runs on the season and doesn’t look to be slowing down. Over just his last 15 games, Nunez has 18 hits including five home runs (10 XBH) and 24 R + RBI. The Orioles have […]

Bubba Starling (OF, KC) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Bubba Starling doesn’t have an everyday role just yet, but he’s the fourth outfielder and he’s already shown how productive he can be. He has seven hits through seven starts and has added a SB. He already has nine in AAA […]

Zac Gallen (SP, MIA) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Gallen is someone who would be 100% owned, if everyone was fully educated. He’s a lot better than most starting pitchers that are owned and is pitching in a ballpark that will protect a rookie like no other. Everyone was waiting […]

Leury Garcia (SS/OF, CWS) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If you’re in need of an all-around outfielder and can’t risk a ton of strikeouts, Leury Garcia is a phenomenal option. For one, he destroys lefties. If you see a few lefties coming up on the docket, his .392 wOBA is […]

Yandy Diaz (1B/3B, TB) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Diaz is becoming more and more popular and should find himself over 50% owned very soon. This Rays team has continued to hit and he’s slotted into the cleanup hole on a consistent basis. His wOBA is up over .362 since the […]

Hunter Strickland (CP/SEA) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Strickland will make a short rehab stint in Rainier, expecting to join the big league club after just one three-game series. He won’t have any issue regaining the closer role, as the Mariners haven’t found much success there. Roenis Elias has […]

Jeff Samardzija (SP/ SFG) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  The San Francisco Giants have won 13 of their last 15 games and are looking a lot better at the plate. They’re surely not one of the top teams in the league, but it’s fair to say they’ve turned a corner […]

Jason Heyward (OF, CHC) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If Heyward is going to continue coming to the plate with runners all over the bases, it’s hard to see him slowing down. He’s up to 43 RBI on the season and his wOBA against right-handers is up to .379. He’s […]

Maikel Franco (3B, PHI) -Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Maikel Franco is and always has been a boom or bust bat. He’s going to hit a lot of home runs and strike out a ton. The great part about Franco this season is he’s striking out just 12% of the […]

Christian Walker (1B, ARI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  For a guy that started the season as one of the hottest rookies, things got ugly in the middle of the first half and Walker is now just 30% owned. However, Christian Walker has completely turned things around in July. From […]

Garrett Cooper (1B/OF, MIA) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  It doesn’t look like Garrett Cooper intends to slow down anytime soon. What once looked like a fluky hot streak, has turned into what may have been Cooper turning the corner. Over just hit last seven games, Cooper has accounted for 10 […]

Austin Meadows Homers for Second Consecutive Night

After a 50-day homer drought, Meadows is back to the guy we saw for the first few months of the season. He's a bit boom or bust against lefties, striking out 30% of the time and hitting three home runs in just 80 at-bats. If Meadows can continue this level of play, the Rays may […]

Michael Brosseau Homers For Fourth Time In 12 Games

That's three home runs in the last two games for Tampa Bay Rays infielder Michael Brosseau. Through just 12 games, he's slashed .395/.425/.816 with eight extra-base hits and 10 RBI. Brosseau has come out of nowhere after sitting at Double-Montgomery last year with an unimpressive .262 average and 13 home runs in over 400 at-bats. […]

Tampa Bay Rays Concede Perfect Game In Last Inning

The Tampa Bay Rays held a combined no-hitter through eight innings on Sunday but couldn’t close the deal. Pitcher Ryan Yarbrough gave up a single to Hanser Alberto to start the inning, and the cookie crumbled from there. Oliver Drake followed, allowing a bloop single and gifting an earned run to Yarbrough. The Rays still won […]

Austin Meadows Connects After 50-Day HR Drought

After last going deep on May 28th, Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows connected for his 13th home run of the season Sunday night. It came against soft-tossing right-hander Tom Eshelman and gave the Rays a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning. They never looked back, besting the Orioles 4-1 and remaining atop […]

Matt Duffy With a Successful Triple-A Rehab Stint

The Rays are wanting to see 25 to 30 comfortable at-bats out of Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy at Triple-A before they give him the nod to come up. He’s up to 19 at-bats and should be in Tampa by the start of their next homestand. Duffy isn’t a game-changer and will have to […]
