Camilo Doval Picks Up 12th Save Sunday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval notched another save in a 7-5 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Although he did allow a couple of hits and an unearned run in this one, he has been money over the last few weeks. He now has saves in four of the Giants last six […]

Joe Kelly Earns First Save Sunday

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly notched his first save of the season on Sunday, securing a 5-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. With Kendall Graveman working two days in a row, Kelly became to go-to option when a save situation arose in this one. He did a good job with the opportunity, […]

Devin Williams Shuts Down Rays To Earn Seventh Save

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams secured a 6-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays with a multi-inning save on Sunday. Williams entered the game with two outs in the eight and runners at second and first. He walked a batter, but got out of the inning unscathed. He pitched around another walk in the […]

New York Mets left-handed pitcher Brooks Raley tossed a clean inning to lock down his first save in a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians in the second game of their Sunday back-to-backs.

He now holds a 5.68 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with eight strikeouts in 6 ⅓ IP. After a couple of subpar performances earlier in the month, […]

Craig Kimbrel Squeaks Out Fifth Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel picked up his fifth save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Kimbrel was shaky in this one, allowing a run on a homer and also walking a batter, but he did manage to strike out a pair. He now holds a 6.35 […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Week 9

It's a new week and we're back to try to accomplish the tough task of finding SP help on the waiver wire. The league ERA sits up above 4.30 right now, almost half a run higher than a year ago. We need to change some of our expectations from pitching because of that and set […]

2B/SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Week 9

Some of the biggest stars in the sport – and biggest fantasy names– returned last week as Rangers shortstop Corey Seager, Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, and of course, Cubs superstar second baseman Nico Hoerner made triumphant returns to the diamond. That doesn't mean we don't need waiver options, however, as there's always a demand for […]

Deeper Hitter Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Waiver Wire Report for Week 9

We’re coming up on week nine of the fantasy baseball season. I know it takes some time to settle in, but there is no time to waste. Fantasy baseball necessitates hyper-vigilance, especially in deeper leagues where the waiver wires are quickly stripped of talent. This weekly article will outline the upcoming schedule, two-start pitchers, and […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers - Fantasy Baseball SP Pickups and Starts (May 22 - May 28)

With plenty of teams with seven games on their schedule this week, we're looking at a bunch of two-start pitchers. On a less positive note, most of those players are already rostered heavily or just unplayable. There are very few streamers this week, but there is still much to dissect. For those new to this […]

Juan Soto Singles And Scores In Victory

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto went 1-for-4 with a single, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 7-0 shutout win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Soto knocked a single and came around to score off a Matt Carpenter home run in the bottom of the third inning. It was the only […]

Hunter Harvey Earns Second Save

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Hunter Harvey was asked to protect a two-run lead versus the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. The right-hander did excellent as he struck out two batters while throwing a perfect inning to earn his second save of the season. Kyle Finnegan collected the save on Saturday, so possibly the team is trying […]

Esteury Ruiz Swipes Another Bag On Sunday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a 2-0 shutout loss to the Houston Astros on Sunday. Framber Valdez worked a four-hit, complete-game shutout in this one so there wasn't much offense to go around for the A's. Ruiz knocked the only extra-base hit, a double, and […]

Framber Valdez Throws Second Career Shutout

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez continued his excellent season versus the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The left-hander achieved his second career shutout with only four hits allowed, while striking out seven in the victory. To be fair, it was against the struggling A's lineup, but still an impressive performance. He now holds a 2.45 […]

Kevin Gausman Tosses Eight Strong Innings

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman put together fairly strong outing versus the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. The right-hander went eight innings, allowing six hits, and two earned runs, with four strikeouts. The strikeout numbers were down from his previous starts, but regardless it was a well pitched outing. Sadly, it wasn't enough as […]

Corbin Carroll Stuffs The Stat Sheet On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three runs scored, three walks, two stolen bases, and a strikeout in an 8-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Cedric Mullins Collects Five Hits

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins had a fantastic day at the plate versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. The left-handed slugger went 5-for-6 with two doubles, three RBI, and a stolen base in the 8-3 victory. This performance marked his third career five-hit game. He's hitting .283 with seven home runs, 38 RBI, and […]

Andrew Heaney Has Success On Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney seemingly had no problems versus the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. The left-hander went six innings, allowing only one unearned run with five strikeouts in the 13-3 victory. This marks three straight quality starts for the 31-year-old southpaw. To be fair, the last two games were versus the Seattle Mariners […]

Jorge Soler Posts Four-Hit Game

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler put on a show during Sunday's game versus the San Francisco Giants. The 31-year-old started off the game with a solo shot off lefty Alex Wood in the first inning. He stayed hot with an RBI single in the third and fifth inning. Soler finished the game 4-for-5 with a […]

Rafael Devers Goes Hitless As Sox Are Blanked

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a 7-0 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The Red Sox couldn't get much going on Sunday as Michael Wacha and the Padres bullpen were locked in. Devers' rate stats, apart from his slugging have been subpar, for […]
