It's been an impressive rookie campaign thus far for the 24-year-old, who's slashing .304/.337/.532 with three bombs, 10 runs, and 19 RBI over 22 games. Blake Sabol will take his spot behind the plate and […]

Miguel Rojas Out Of Sunday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas is absent from Sunday's lineup for the matchup with Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants.

Carson Kelly Resting Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks backstop Carson Kelly is missing from Sunday's lineup to take on Tanner Bibee and the Cleveland Guardians.

Ketel Marte Absent From Sunday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is absent from the lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. Marte has been in and out of the lineup over the last week while dealing with some back tightness so he's taking another seat on Sunday. The 29-year-old has been excellent for Arizona this season so it makes […]

Nick Castellanos Remains Out On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (illness) is still absent from the lineup on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran outfielder hasn't played since June 16 while dealing with an illness so fantasy managers can still consider him day-to-day. Josh Harrison is starting in right field in his place on Sunday against the A's. The […]

Bryce Harper Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is getting the day off on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. This is the 30-year-old's first day off in June so it gives him some much-needed rest.

Andrew McCutchen Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen is getting the day off on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. This is just a day of rest for the 36-year-old veteran.

Matt Moore Works A Bullpen Session On Sunday

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Matt Moore (oblique) threw a bullpen session on Sunday as he continues to make his way back from a Grade 2 oblique strain. Moore has been on the shelf since May 28 but has slowly been ramping his way back up. Obliques can be tricky but he hasn't suffered a […]

Kyle Hendricks- Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Hendricks has only made five starts since returning at the end of May, but it looks like he's up to his old tricks again. He's allowed two earned runs at most in three of his last four starts and has a […]

Shohei Ohtani To Start Wednesday Against The Dodgers

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is now scheduled to start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The fantasy superstar was originally slated to face the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday but they skipped Jaime Barria in the rotation or order to give Reid Detmers and Ohtani starts against the Dodgers. […]

Louie Varland - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Varland makes for a good short term pickup in deeper leagues where you need a starter this week. Varland will face the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park and pitching matchups don't get much better than that this season. Detroit is in […]

Jaime Barria Has Start Skipped

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jaime Barria has had his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers skipped. This is all designed to make Barria available out of the bullpen for Sunday's contest against the Royals and it gives Reid Detmers the start on Tuesday vs. the Dodgers. Barria has been a solid arm […]

Dean Kremer - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Kremer is the opposite of the Braxton Garrett type of pitcher this year. His strikeout percentage is only 19% and his ground ball percentage also leaves much to be desired at 36%. However, he doesn't walk many batters (5% walk percentage) […]

Clarke Schmidt - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Schmidt has been very steady for the Yankees recently. He hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last five starts. On the season he has a solid 3.92 xFIP, which is much better than his 4.70 ERA. […]

Michael Massey Lands On The Injured List

Taijuan Walker - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS:   I recommended Walker last week and wrote that he should only be used in good matchups, but I'm starting to rethink that stance. While he has taken advantage of some soft matchups against Oakland and Detroit, he also shutout the Dodgers […]

Gunnar Henderson Scratched Late On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson has been scratched from the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Chicago Cubs. Henderson was on the original lineup card but was a late scratch. The Orioles haven't given a reason for his absence as of now but they should provide an update momentarily. Henderson has been one of the […]

Braxton Garrett - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Quite frankly, I have no idea how Garrett's rostership is still this low. He has struck out at least six batters in seven of his last eight starts. He has a 3.88 ERA on the season, but his xFIP is significantly […]

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.

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.
