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!

Luis Pena Taken to the Hospital During Wednesday's Contest

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Pena is "fine" and recovering after a medical scare on Wednesday night. The top prospect was taken by ambulance to the hospital after overheating in the dugout. The game was stopped and ultimately called in the eighth inning after the emergency, but Pena "Sounds like he's fine according to our docs," […]


Payton Tolle Confirmed to Start on Thursday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Payton Tolle will start on Thursday, as expected, as the Red Sox try to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Yankees in Boston. Tolle was held out of his last start in Triple-A in anticipation of his promotion, and he'll get a chance to earn his spot in the […]

DraftKings PGA DFS Lineup Picks - Zurich Classic (2026)

Welcome, everyone, to my DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks and advice for the 2026 Zurich Classic. I'll be providing DFS picks and analysis to help you set those winning DraftKings lineups. The week's event is a unique format for the PGA Tour each year since it's the only official team event on the regular schedule. A […]


Payton Tolle Viewed as "Top Candidate" to Enter Boston Rotation

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Payton Tolle is one of the team's top options to replace Sonny Gray (hamstring) in the rotation. Gray was forced to leave his start on Monday after 2 2/3 innings on Monday when he felt a "grab" in his right hamstring. The issue is not thought to be serious, but […]


Jac Caglianone Snaps Lengthy Power Skid with Solo Shot, Time to Buy Back in?

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone smashed his first home run of the season on Monday night in the second inning against Kyle Bradish. He added a walk later in the game and finished 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Caglianone was one of the top hitting prospects in baseball when he got […]


Matt Strahm Emerging as Must-Stash Closer Handcuff in Royals Bullpen

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Matt Strahm could be on the verge of taking over at the end of the game for the Royals, so he's worth considering in leagues where you have to be very aggressive looking for saves. Strahm could take over from Lucas Erceg, who has blown his last two save opportunities, […]


Joel Kuhnel Earns Fourth Save, Emerging as Athletics Primary Closer?

Athletics relief pitcher Joel Kuhnel gave up a run and two hits in the ninth inning against the Mariners on Monday, but he was still able to secure the 6-4 win for his team. He entered with a three-run lead and gave up an RBI double to Leo Rivas before getting J.P. Crawford to foul […]


Justin Wrobleski Carrying Sneaky Value on the Waiver Wire

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski earned his third win of the season by allowing just one run in seven innings against the Rockies at Coors Field on Monday night. The 25-year-old lefty lowered his ERA to 1.88 with a 3.01 FIP and 0.88 WHIP. Wrobleski gave up eight hits in that outing and […]


Jeff Hoffman Bounces Back to Earn Third Save, Strikes Out the Side

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman gave up multiple runs in each of his last two appearances, but he was much more effective on Monday, closing out the Angels in a 5-2 win. Hoffman gave up a leadoff single to Jo Adell, but then fanned Josh Lowe, Logan O'Hoppe, and Adam Frazier in succession to […]


Lucas Erceg Blows Second Straight Save, No Longer Must-Start Closer?

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Lucas Erceg came into a 1-0 game in the ninth inning on Monday night, but he wasn't able to close out the Orioles, who eventually won 7-5 in extra innings. Erceg walked three batters and gave up an RBI single to Samuel Basallo that tied the game. After earning five […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! After a fun work week full of great MLB action, all 30 teams are on the schedule this Friday to get the weekend started. Sutter Health Park and Coors Field are back in play for the weekend, and the weather is warming up across the country, creating favorable home run conditions to […]


Bryan Abreu Pitches in Setup Role on Wednesday, Officially Out of the Closer Job?

Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu earned his second hold of the season and pitched 1 1/3 innings without giving up a hit or a run. Even though he was effective, it was not a good sign for the 28-year-old's fantasy value that he entered the game in the seventh inning with two outs. He […]


Drew Pomeranz Emerging as Priority Closer Handcuff

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz is a very intriguing speculative pickup in deep leagues, since he could be next up for the Angels after Jordan Romano has blown two save chances in New York. Pomeranz has allowed four runs on six hits in eight games this season, but he has only allowed one […]


Joel Kuhnel Sharp En Route to Third Save, Settling in as Priority Waiver-Wire Target

Athletics relief pitcher Joel Kuhnel got a four-out save on Wednesday night, picking up two strikeouts and retiring all four Rangers he faced to secure his third save of the year. The 31-year-old righty has given up just one hit and no runs in 4 2/3 innings this season and is a very solid option […]


Abner Uribe Slides Into Closer Job on Wednesday, Earns Save for Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Abner Uribe stepped into a ninth-inning role on Wednesday night and pitched a perfect inning to secure his team's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays. Uribe retired the Jays in order with a strikeout to earn his first save of the season, and his velocity was back to where it was […]


Jordan Romano Blows Second Save, Seeing Fantasy Value Plummet

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jordan Romano let another game slip away in New York on Wednesday night. He came on in the ninth inning with a one-run lead and gave up two runs on two hits and a walk, while recording just one out. Romano gave up a walk-off double to Jose Caballero, taking […]


Enyel De Los Santos Tallies Second Save, Emerging as Closer to Own in Houston?

Houston Astros relief pitcher Enyel De Los Santos worked a perfect ninth in his team's 3-1 win on Wednesday night. He picked up a pair of strikeouts against pinch-hitter Brett Sullivan and Brenton Doyle to preserve the win for Spencer Arrighetti. De Los Santos earned his second save of the season and has allowed only […]


Liam Hicks Stays Hot with Three-Hit Effort, Trending Towards Must-Start Territory

Miami Marlins catcher/first-baseman Liam Hicks has come out of the gates fast this season, and he picked up three more hits, three RBI, and his first stolen base of the season on Monday night in a 10-4 win for his Fish over the Braves. Hicks is hitting .319 (15-for-47) with a double, three homers, and […]


Rico Garcia Continues Dominant Start to Season, Emerging as Elite Closer Handcuff

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Rico Garcia has been excellent to start the season at the back end of Baltimore's bullpen. He worked a 1-2-3 eighth inning to earn his fourth hold of the year and has allowed just three walks in 7 2/3 scoreless innings across eight games. Garcia is still working in front of […]


Is Kirby Yates a High-Upside Stash Candidate?

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Kirby Yates (knee) is working his way back from left knee inflammation and could be ready to step into a meaningful role in the bullpen soon. He threw to hitters last week but has not yet started a rehab assignment. He seems ready to start his rehab soon and could […]


Garrett Crochet Implodes on Monday, Is There a Cause for Concern?

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet had an uncharacteristically rough outing on Monday night, allowing 10 runs on nine hits and three walks, while recording only five outs against the Twins. His velocity was down, and he allowed home runs to Victor Caratini and Ryan Kreidler in one of the worst statistical starts of […]


Ryan Helsley Perfect En Route To Earning Fifth Save

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Ryan Helsley secured his team's dramatic comeback win over the Diamondbacks on Monday night by pitching a drama-free ninth inning. He retired the D-Backs in order, including a pair of strikeouts, to earn his fifth save in five save opportunities. He has pitched in seven games for Baltimore, allowing only two […]


Jordan Romano Blows First Save on Monday, Allows Three Runs

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jordan Romano locked up his first four saves of the season, but he stumbled on Monday night in New York. He came in with a 10-8 lead and failed to record a single out before giving up three runs on three hits, including a Trent Grisham home run that tied […]


Is Justin Wrobleski Worth a Waiver-Wire Look After a Gem Against the Mets?

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski held the Mets to just two hits in eight shutout innings on Monday night to earn his second win of the season. Wrobleski only had two strikeouts but was very efficient, needing just 90 pitches to get 24 outs. The 25-year-old lefty has a 2.12 ERA and 3.37 […]

Even without Coors Field or Sutter Health Park, there are a few good matchups and […]


Bobby Witt Jr. Working Through a Power Outage

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is off to a slow start to the season by his lofty standards from the last few seasons. After hitting 20+ homers in each of his first four seasons with a career .357 wOBA, Witt has no homers and just a .298 wOBA in his first 12 games […]


James Wood Off To a Hot Start Through 12 Games

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood has connected on four homers in his first dozen games this season, and he's hitting the ball well despite a .216 batting average. He has cut down on his strikeout rate a bit from last season and has an improved .294 ISO and .370 wOBA. Wood has a 54.5% hard-hit […]
