Javier Baez Returning To The Lineup

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The right-handed slugger was removed from Thursday's game. Manager A.J. Hinch pulled him out after Baez lost track of how many outs in the second inning. Hopefully, this was a wake-up call for the young slugger. […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 3

Another week of exciting baseball is another week of exciting bullpen news! Some committees are normalizing while others are forming anew, and maybe one is dissolving into a more traditional bullpen? Meanwhile, some managers are doing some weird things with how to choose their relievers. Quite a few closers or committee leaders struggled this week, […]

Andrew Abbott Dominating In Double-A

Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Andrew Abbott made his second start of the 2023 season with the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts. He went six innings deep, striking out 14 batters and allowing just two hits. The 23-year-old has been lights-out this year with 25 strikeouts, no runs allowed, and a 0.28 WHIP. The Virginia native struggled in […]

Tanner Bibee Throws Six Scoreless Innings For Columbus

Guardians right-handed pitching prospect Tanner Bibee threw six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts in his second Triple-A start. The 24-year-old has had an incredible minor league career with a 2.00 ERA and 182 strikeouts in 27 starts. Bibee's star pitch on Thursday was his fastball, which topped out at 99.4 mph and had a 29% […]

Orioles Option Cole Irvin

The Baltimore Orioles optioned left-hander Cole Irvin to the minors after another poor outing on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics in which he allowed six runs on five hits (one homer allowed) while walking two and striking out four in four innings pitched. Irvin has really struggled in his first three starts in 2023, allowing […]

Ricky Tiedemann Shows Dominance At Double-A

Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (shoulder) was absolutely dominant in his first start of the year on Thursday for Double-A New Hampshire, tossing three shutout innings on two hits while walking none and striking out nine. That will surely turn the heads of fantasy managers looking to stash up-and-coming prospects. The team's top […]

Cavan Biggio Steals First Base Of The Season Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio went 1-for-4 with a run scored, his first stolen base of the year and two strikeouts in the team's 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Biggio isn't an everyday player for the Blue Jays, and he won't have much offensive upside hitting at the bottom of […]

Eloy Jimenez Expected To Return Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is expected to come off the injured list and be in the starting lineup on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Tyler Wells. Jimenez has looked good in recent days. The 26-year-old's injury was never considered very serious, but he's likely to return in the designated hitter […]

Yoan Moncada Could Go On Injured List

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) isn't expected to return to the lineup on Friday now after missing the series against the Minnesota Twins this week, and he could land on the injured list this weekend. The 27-year-old's back injury didn't appear to be too serious earlier in the week, but apparently the […]

Alex Kirilloff Goes Deep In Rehab Game

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout in a minor-league rehab game on Thursday with Low-A Fort Myers. The 25-year-old was playing in right field in his second rehab game after he saw action at first base in his first game […]

Braves Call Up Vaughn Grissom

The Atlanta Braves recalled infielder Vaughn Grissom from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday and officially placed infielder Orlando Arcia (wrist) on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left wrist. With Arcia out for an extended period of time, Grissom is expected to handle the primary shortstop duties after hitting .291 with five home runs, 18 […]

Giants, Logan Webb Agree To Five-Year Extension

The San Francisco Giants and starting pitcher Logan Webb agreed to a five-year, $90 million contract extension on Friday. Webb has gotten off to a rough start in 2023, but he's still deserving of this big extension after being one of the best pitchers in baseball the last few years. He went 15-9 in 2022 […]
