Francisco Lindor Back In Sunday's Lineup

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is back at shortstop and is batting in the three-hole on Sunday against left-hander Matthew Liberatore and the St. Louis Cardinals. Lindor was out on Saturday after his wife gave birth to their daughter. Hopefully that sparks Lindor offensively, as he's hitting just .211 (56-for-265) on the season, although […]

Astros Option Brandon Bielak

The Houston Astros optioned right-hander Brandon Bielak to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday and recalled right-hander Shawn Dubin from Round Rock in a corresponding move. Bielak forced the Astros' hand after allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday to drop his ERA on the […]

Mark Vientos Sent To Triple-A

The New York Mets optioned infielder Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday to make room for first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist), who was activated from the 10-day injured list. Vientos didn't fare well at the plate in 16 games for the Mets before being sent down, as he had gone just 8-for-45 (.178) with […]

Reds Activate Jake Fraley From Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds activated outfielder Jake Fraley (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned outfielder T.J. Hopkins to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Fraley is back in left field and is hitting fifth in Sunday's lineup against right-hander Ronel Blanco and the Houston Astros. The 28-year-old is back after missing just […]

Red Sox Place Tanner Houck On 15-Day Injured List

The Boston Red Sox announced on Sunday that they placed right-hander Tanner Houck (face) on the 15-day injured list with a facial fracture and recalled right-hander Kaleb Ort and left-hander Chris Murphy from the minors in corresponding moves. Murphy will serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the New York Yankees. Houck was […]

Dominic Fletcher Placed On Temporary Inactive List

On June 13, the Arizona Diamondbacks placed outfield prospect Dominic Fletcher on the minor-league temporary inactive list (similar to MLB's bereavement/paternity list). He was on a solid stretch of hitting for Triple-A Reno, as he was slashing .389/.463/.417 since June 2. Fletcher has already debuted with the Diamondbacks. In his first 12 games this season, […]

Pete Alonso Back From Injured List

The New York Mets reinstated first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned infielder Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. It's a nice surprise for Alonso's fantasy managers on Father's Day. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger is starting at first base and is hitting cleanup against St. […]

Dylan Carlson Back In Lineup Against Mets

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (elbow) has returned to the starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Mets and right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Carlson is starting in right field and is batting sixth in the order. He was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a left-elbow bruise, but he's back in there a day […]

Jacob Amaya Making MLB Debut Sunday

Miami Marlins rookie shortstop Jacob Amaya, who was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, is making his major-league debut on Sunday against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Amaya is starting at shortstop and is hitting ninth in the batting order. The team's No. 9 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, earned the call-up to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Writing up Ezequiel Tovar feels like a weekly endeavor, and I don't get it.

Royce Lewis (SS, MIN) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The former top prospect for Minnesota is criminally under-rostered in fantasy, given all he's done is hit since he got to the Majors. Royce Lewis flashed elite upside in 12 games last season as he batted .300 with a .550 slugging percentage […]

Jesus Sanchez (OF, MIA) - Fantasy Baseball Hitter Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A week ago, Sanchez was picking up steam as a blossoming fantasy asset, but a subsequent slump has seen his ownership dip back down to single digits. Still, he carries a strong .270/.350/.492 slash line with six home runs through 45 games played. […]

David Hamilton Steals 27th Base

Boston Red Sox middle infield prospect David Hamilton stole his 27th base of the season in a 1-for-3 showing with Triple-A Worcester. His elite speed is nothing new, as Hamilton stole 70 bases in 2022, but his bat has improved this year. He's slashing .262/.345/.500 with 11 home runs, 25 RBI, and 38 runs in […]

Ryan O'Hearn (1B/OF, BAL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Ryan Mountcastle moved to the injured list, Ryan O'Hearn becomes the beneficiary.

Ryan Noda (1B/OF, OAK) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In a largely subpar Oakland lineup, Ryan Noda continues to produce, hitting from the two-hole. He's carrying an impressive .838 OPS with seven home runs and 13 doubles through 67 games played. Though he wasn't a particularly heralded prospect before this season, […]

Luis Matos (OF, SF) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Luis Matos is the hottest waiver wire pickup at the moment.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Luke Raley has been a fixture on this list for most of the season and continues to put up impressive numbers.
