Zach Thompson is a fantasy sports analyst and writer at RotoBaller, a multi-award-winning fantasy sports media company. He has been covering fantasy sports across multiple platforms since 2008 and has been playing fantasy sports since the late 1990s, when he manually calculated fantasy scores using box scores from the newspaper. Zach has covered a wide range of sports from a fantasy perspective, including baseball, basketball, football, golf, and hockey, while also exploring more niche formats such as Australian Rules Football and rugby. Simply put, if a sport has a fantasy format, Zach is willing to participate. Although he grew up nearly 8,000 miles away in Guam, Zach was raised a passionate Boston sports fan. After playing soccer competitively throughout high school and college, he now lives in central Massachusetts with his wife and four children. Zach enjoys attending as many sporting events as possible and has developed a particular passion for minor league baseball and tracking player development. His fantasy analysis often focuses on identifying undervalued players in overlooked situations, and few things are more satisfying than seeing a low-rostered player lead you to a fantasy championship!

Nolan McLean Remains High-End Option Despite Lack of Wins

New York Mets starting pitcher Nolan McLean has only one win this season, but his numbers have been strong across the board despite his lack of run support. McLean has made eight starts this season, matching his total from last year after his promotion. He has an even higher strikeout rate (32.6%) than last year, […]


Kevin Gausman Struggles in Monday's Loss to the Rays, Cause for Concern?

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman had a rough outing at home on Monday night, giving up seven runs (six earned) to the Rays on 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. He took the loss to fall to 2-3 on the season with a 3.86 ERA and 3.29 FIP. The 35-year-old righty reached a […]


Orioles Turn to Anthony Nunez to Earn Save, Remains Option in Closer Committee

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Anthony Nunez earned his second save of the season on Monday night in his team's 3-2 victory over the Yankees. With Rico Garcia taking on the heart of New York's batting order in the eighth inning, Nunez came on in the ninth and locked down the victory with one strikeout and […]


Paul Sewald Earns Ninth Save, Remains High-Volume Saves Option

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Paul Sewald remains a very solid option at the end of the game, as he picked up his ninth save of the year on Monday night against the Rangers. Sewald entered a 1-0 game and worked a hitless ninth inning, allowing just one baserunner on a hit-by-pitch. The 35-year-old righty has […]


Rico Garcia Deployed in Eighth Inning in Victory

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Rico Garcia was excellent in his inning of work on Monday night in his team's 3-2 win over the Yankees. However, his fantasy managers will be disappointed that he was brought into the eighth inning instead of the ninth and earned a hold rather than a save. Garcia faced Ben Rice, […]

The PGA Championship is the second major of the 2026 PGA TOUR season, and sets up as a great opportunity for top golfers in the […]


Andrew Vaughn Emerging as Sneaky Waiver-Wire Option

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn joined the team in a midseason trade last year and had a monster second half, making him a nice waiver wire addition. He's looking to run it back this season and is back with the team after missing over a month with a fractured hamate bone suffered on Opening […]


Rockies Turn to Juan Mejia for Second Save, Seeing Value Increase in Deep Leagues

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Juan Mejia earned his second save of the season on Friday night in Philadelphia, closing out the Phillies in the 11th inning after his team scored two runs in the top of the inning. Mejia allowed one hit and had one strikeout, fanning Kyle Schwarber and getting Bryce Harper to ground […]


Tony Santillan Sees Closer Value Drop After Four-Run Outing

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tony Santillan was expected to be one of the team's top options to fill in for injured closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring), but he has not helped his case in his recent outings. On Friday, he worked in a non-save situation against the Astros and failed to record an out while giving […]


Is Robby Snelling Still a Top Pickup After Shaky MLB Debut?

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Robby Snelling took the loss in his first MLB start on Friday against the Nationals. He worked five innings and gave up three runs on five hits and four walks while throwing 86 pitches. After starting the game with an impressive strikeout of James Wood, he gave up all three runs […]


Spencer Jones Emerging as Top Power Option on Waiver Wire?

New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones made his long-awaited MLB debut on Friday night, and if you are looking for some power potential on the waiver wire, he has a lot of upside to offer. Jones went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in his debut, but facing flame-throwing Jacob Misiorowski is a tough […]


Hogan Harris Secures One-Out Save for Athletics, Worth Adding in Deeper Leagues?

Athletics relief pitcher Hogan Harris came on in the ninth inning of his team's one-run win over the Orioles on Friday night. He didn't start the inning, but he did get the final out to earn his second save of the year. Jack Perkins actually got the call to start the final frame but gave […]

While Coors Field and Sutter Health Park are not in play, a few stadiums still have favorable conditions for […]


Chase Dollander Offers a High Ceiling Off the Waiver Wire

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chase Dollander will be looking to bounce back from a rough outing when he makes his next appearance for the Rockies, likely on Friday. He has been working behind an opener most of the season, and he was on a great run before giving up six runs in 5 1/3 innings […]


Brad Keller Remains a Potential Ninth-Inning Option for Phillies, Earns Third Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller had a rocky ninth inning against the A's on Wednesday night, but he still secured his third save of the year. Keller gave up a single and two walks to load the bases before getting Jacob Wilson to ground out to end the game. Keller needed 22 pitches to […]


Graham Ashcraft Allows Two Runs, Blows Save Opportunity on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Graham Ashcraft couldn't close out the Cubs on Wednesday night, picking up his second blown save of the season. After the Reds rallied to take the lead in the top of the ninth, Ashcraft came in to secure the win, but he gave up a single to Carson Kelly and a […]


Gregory Soto Tallies Second Save for Pirates, Settling in as Closer to Roster?

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Gregory Soto secured his second save of the season on Wednesday night, pitching a scoreless ninth inning to complete a close, 1-0 win over the Diamondbacks. Soto combined with Paul Skenes on the shutout and worked around a walk to Geraldo Perdomo to lock down the win. The veteran lefty has […]


Rico Garcia Earns Second Save, Emerging as Temporary Closer for Orioles

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Rico Garcia slammed the door on the Marlins on Wednesday night to earn his second save of the season. He issued a walk to Owen Caissie to start the inning, but Garcia induced a double play from Otto Lopez and fanned Javier Sanoja to end the game. Garcia earned his second […]


Jack Perkins Blows First Save, in Danger of Losing Top Closer Job?

Athletics relief pitcher Jack Perkins was charged with a blown save on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. He allowed four runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk, while picking up two strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings. Perkins came into the game to start the seventh inning and retired the Phillies in order […]

Is Braxton Garrett Nearing a Return to the Major Leagues?

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett is one of the team's top options to take over an open spot in their rotation. Struggling starter Chris Paddack was designated for assignment on Tuesday, opening up his scheduled spot on Friday. Garrett made seven starts for the Marlins in 2024 but missed all of 2025 after elbow […]


Robby Snelling Is Entering Top Stash Territory with an Open Role in Starting Rotation

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Robby Snelling is a great stash pickup to consider from the waiver wire after the Marlins designated struggling veteran Chris Paddack for assignment on Tuesday morning. Snelling has impressed this season in Triple-A, going 3-1 with a 1.86 ERA and 2.92 FIP in 29 innings across six starts for the Jacksonville […]


Caleb Kilian Worth Stashing in Deeper Leagues?

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Caleb Kilian closed out his team's 3-2 win on Monday night against the Padres. Kilian did give up a leadoff home run to Ramon Laureano in the ninth inning, but he struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado to close out the win. He earned the first save of […]


Is Gregory Soto the Closer to Roster in Pirates Bullpen?

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Gregory Soto got the call on Sunday in the eighth inning of a scoreless game against the Reds. He got the last out of the eighth inning by striking out TJ Friedl with the potential go-ahead run on 3B, and then the Pirates got him a run in the bottom half […]


Emilio Pagan Blows Third Save, In Danger of Losing Closer Job?

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Emilio Pagan came into Monday night's game with a one-run lead against the Cubs, but the 34-year-old righty served up two runs on two hits and blew the save. Pete Crow-Armstrong greeted him with a triple, and after PCA scored on a sacrifice fly to tie the game, Michael Conforto delivered […]


Is Davis Martin a Priority Waiver-Wire Pickup After Another Dominant Start?

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Davis Martin beat the Angels and Jose Soriano for a second straight start on Monday night, allowing just five hits in seven shutout innings, with a season-high 10 strikeouts and no walks. Martin improved to 5-1 on the year with a 1.64 ERA and 2.46 FIP. He has allowed two […]
