Austin Krob - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Austin Krob, SP, San Diego Padres   ANALYSIS: The Padres drafted Krob out of Texas Christian University in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft. He posted a 5.12 ERA in his final year with TCU, which hurt his draft status. His pro debut didn't help his standing either, as he allowed five […]

Sneaky Stolen Bases for Fantasy Baseball - Waiver Wire Targets Include Ji Hwan Bae, Willi Castro, Corey Julks, Michael A. Taylor, more

Sometimes, a player's fantasy baseball value isn't so obvious. Sometimes, just sometimes, we need to dig deeper to discover the value of players who aren't exactly getting much love from the industry. We're roughly a month away from the All-Star break, and at this point, sample sizes are large enough to get a gauge on […]

Andrew McCutchen Cracks Leadoff Solo Dinger In Chicago

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen launched a solo shot to kick off Wednesday's contest against the Cubs in Chicago. While that was his sole game hit, McCutchen also showed patience at the plate by drawing a walk. Ultimately the night ended with him going 1-for-4 in the batter's box. In the season, the outfielder is […]

Mike Clevinger Injured Against Dodgers

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (biceps) left his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers early on Wednesday night with right-biceps soreness. Clevinger will be further evaluated on Thursday. The 32-year-old veteran right-hander left the contest after giving up no runs on three hits while walking two and striking out five in 4 2/3 […]

Jonathan India Leads Reds To Victory With Two Hits

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India went 2-for-4 and smacked his eighth home run of the season as the Reds beat the Kansas City Royals Wednesday. India hit an RBI double off Daniel Lynch in the fourth inning to give the Royals a 2-1 lead. He then cracked the third of three Cincinnati dingers in […]

Garrett Whitlock Collects Win Wednesday

Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Garrett Whitlock allowed only two runs across seven innings to pick up a win against the Rockies Wednesday. Whitlock registered seven strikeouts while issuing just one walk. Since his return from the injured list on May 27, the 27-year-old has consistently kept opponents to one earned run or less in […]

Ryan McMahon Delivers Two Hits Wednesday

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon went 2-for-3 at the plate and added an RBI despite his team losing to Boston by a score of 6-3 on Wednesday. He temporarily put the Rockies in the lead during the sixth inning with an RBI double off starter Garrett Whitlock. However, Colorado's bullpen fell apart and they gave […]

Jordan Romano Earns 19th Save

On Wednesday, Toronto Blue Jays relief hurler Jordan Romano secured his 19th save of the season by conceding just one run in the ninth inning against the Orioles. Given the responsibility to defend a three-run advantage in the final inning, Romano gave up three hits and an earned run but recovered. With 19 saves, the […]

Rangers Add Ryan Tepera On Minor-League Deal

The Texas Rangers signed free-agent relief pitcher Ryan Tepera to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. He'll stay in the American League West and will report to Triple-A Round Rock after choosing free agency at the end of May. Tepera spent the last year and a half pitching for the Los Angeles Angels, and he had […]

Erik Martinez - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Erik Martinez, RP, Los Angeles Angels ANALYSIS: After a strong career out of the bullpen with Cal-Berkeley, Martinez went undrafted in 2018. He spent the next four seasons playing independent ball and in the Mexican League before the Angels signed him this offseason. So far, Martinez has posted a 1.99 ERA combined between Single-A […]

Braves Sign Jesus Aguilar To Minor-League Deal

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent first baseman Jesus Aguilar to a minor-league deal on Tuesday. The Oakland Athletics released Aguilar in early June after he hit just .221 (23-for-104) with two doubles, five home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored in 36 games for them to begin the year. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger will […]

Salvador Perez Day-To-Day With Hand Contusion

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hand) left the game early on Wednesday night after getting hit on the left hand by a pitch from Cincinnati Reds starter Ben Lively in the third inning, but he's considered day-to-day with a left-hand contusion. X-rays apparently came back negative, and Perez will have […]

X-Rays On Jesse Chavez Come Back Negative

X-rays came back negative on Atlanta Braves right-hander Jesse Chavez (shin) on Wednesday after he was hit by a comebacker on his left shin bone in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Chavez could still miss some time, but it looks like he avoided a serious injury. The 39-year-old right-hander didn't officially […]

Nick Lodolo Could Return In Early August

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (leg) had an encouraging MRI exam on Wednesday, but he remains in a walking boot, and an early August return is a best-case scenario. Lodolo remains on the injured list while recovering from a stress reaction in his left tibia, so he won't be back anytime soon for the Reds […]

Yoan Moncada Could Need Injured-List Stint

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that he's unsure if third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) will require a trip to the injured list. Moncada is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a recurring back issue, so the White Sox may give him some extended time off […]

Yordan Alvarez To Miss Four Weeks

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said that outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (oblique) will miss four weeks with his oblique strain after undergoing an MRI exam. News came out early on Wednesday that Alvarez would miss extended time with his injury, and now we have a more specific timetable. The 25-year-old left-handed slugger isn't expected […]

Tanner Banks - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Tanner Banks, RP, Chicago White Sox ANALYSIS: An 18th-round pick out of Utah in 2014 by the White Sox, the lefty Banks made progress as a starter through the White Sox system, step by step. However, in 2019, Chicago saw the writing on the wall and moved the crafty lefty to a swingman role. […]

Max Muncy Dealing With Grade 2 Hamstring Strain

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left-hamstring strain. Manager Dave Roberts said that the team is hoping Muncy can return to the starting lineup on Saturday against the division-rival San Francisco Giants. The original hope was that the 32-year-old left-handed slugger could return on Thursday, but that […]

Salvador Perez Exits Early After Hit By Pitch

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hand) exited Wednesday's contest early against the Cincinnati Reds after being hit in the hand by a pitch from starter Ben Lively in the third inning. It didn't look good, but fantasy managers will want to check back later for another update on Perez's condition. The 33-year-old backstop will […]

Zach Neto Leaves Early With Side Cramping

Los Angeles Angels rookie shortstop Zach Neto (side) left the game early on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers with cramping in his left side. Neto didn't have an official at-bat before leaving as a precautionary measure, and he was replaced at shortstop by Luis Rengifo, who shifted over from the keystone. For now, fantasy managers […]

Corbin Carroll Sitting Out Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. Carroll will take a breather after starting the team's last 29 games. The 22-year-old has been that good this year and is the easy favorite for National League Rookie of the Year in 2023. Carroll is […]

Andy Fisher - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Andy Fisher, SP, Cincinnati Reds ANALYSIS: Originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois by the Reds in 2019, Fisher was a college lefty with the stuff you'd expect from one, not an elite fastball, excellent secondary stuff, and poise on the mound. That profile tends to play well in lower levels, […]

Gio Urshela Remains Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Gio Urshela (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The right-handed slugger has played in one game since being scratched last Friday due to back tightness. It's unclear if Urshela is going to need an injured list stint. It sounds like the Angels […]
