Hunter Greene Dealing With Hip Stiffness

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (hip) is dealing with some hip stiffness and won't make his next start until next Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. As a result, the Reds are calling up prospect Andrew Abbott to make his major-league debut on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Reds don't think the 23-year-old […]

Andrew Abbott To Make MLB Debut Monday

The Cincinnati Reds are calling up pitching prospect Andrew Abbott from Triple-A Louisville, and he will make his major-league debut and start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. Manager David Bell said that this isn't just a spot start for Abbott, so fantasy managers in mixed leagues should absolutely take a chance on Abbott if […]

Owen Miller (1B/2B/3B, MIL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In the intro, we mentioned how some players with overall numbers are being dragged down by a poor April. Exhibit A: Owen Miller. The Brewers second baseman led all qualified second basemen and shortstops with a .600 slugging percentage in May while collecting […]

Wander Franco Not Playing Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (hamstring) is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday to face the Boston Red Sox. Franco returned for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on Saturday after dealing with a minor shoulder injury earlier in the week, but he was held out of Game 2 […]

Sal Frelick Begins Baseball Activities

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Sal Frelick (thumb) is making progress in his recovery from a thumb sprain. The outfielder is currently doing baseball activities, with manager Craig Counsell reporting that he is hitting off a tee and soft toss.

The 23-year-old slashed .394/.529/.679 with seven home runs, 24 RBI, and 39 runs in his last 30 games before being sent to the injured list. While he […]

Jack Flaherty - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We have a long way to go before feeling confident in Flaherty again, so I'll be brief here. It's been another bad year for the once highly-touted prospect, with his poor 11.8% SwStr% and 12.6% BB%. However, over his last four […]

Bryan Woo - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We don't know much about Woo, as he came up to the Majors straight from the AA level to pitch on Saturday. That start aside, we know that Woo has some definite upside in the long-term as he's managed a 34.3% […]

Michael Soroka - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We have seen very, very little of Soroka in the Majors over the last few years, but he made his long-awaited return to the Braves rotation last week and pitched decently well in his return, giving up four runs on five […]

JP Sears - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS:   This isn't a streamers piece, but it is worth noting that Sears gets a two-start week this week against the Pirates and Brewers, so that is reason enough to pick him up. But, in my view, he has proven to be good enough […]

Reese Olson - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS:   The Tigers young righty debuted on Friday night and pitched quite well, delivering six innings of two-hit, two-run ball with six strikeouts. The most interesting thing about Olson is that he came out confidently with his slider, throwing it a start-high […]

Brayan Bello - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We had five pretty solid starts in a row from Bello there before a dud last week. What has me still holding on is the above-average 12.8% SwStr% that goes with his elite 60% GB%. If you can manage an above-average […]

Louie Varland - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Louie V is going through a brutal patch of his schedule right now, recently having faced the Angels and now being scheduled to take on the Blue Jays and Rays for his next two. Because of that, maybe it's best to leave […]

Logan Allen - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Allen's ownership seems to have topped out around 40%, which is pretty surprising given the 2.72 ERA he has posted in the Majors so far. His strikeout rate has fallen off significantly from the 34% he posted in the minors this year, […]

Edward Cabrera - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Cabrera is hovering right around the 50% ownership mark, and he's certainly not available in many leagues deeper than 12-teamers, but he's under the threshold at this moment so I want to mention him. We have long known that Cabrera has elite […]

Dansby Swanson Singles in Loss Saturday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson went 1-for-2 with a walk in Saturday’s 6-0 loss to the San Diego Padres. It was a quiet game for the Cubs' offense, but Swanson was able to up his season average to .276. He had a slow start to the season, with his new team hitting only one home […]

Tommy Edman Quiet in Saturday's Loss

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman went 0-for-4 in Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Edman has had a tough time generating offense at the plate recently. He's recorded a base hit in just two of his last 27 at-bats over his previous eight games played. In that time, he has no home runs […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, and a run scored in Saturday’s 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Reynolds upped his average to .278 and has stolen eight bases this season. He provides balanced fantasy production, which is good because his power output has decreased lately. After hitting five […]
