Sandy Alcantara (SP, MIA) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Only three pitchers in baseball have thrown two shutouts in 2019; Shane Bieber, Lucas Giolito...and Sandy Alcantara of the cellar-dwelling Miami Marlins. With a record of 5-13, it's obviously been a bumpy year for the 24-year-old right-hander and he now has a 3.93 ERA in […]

Anthony Rizzo Exits With Ankle Injury

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (ankle) left Sunday’s game early with a sprained right ankle. Rizzo hurt his ankle when he was trying to field a bunt. The first baseman will have a MRI on Monday and that will help determine how long he may miss. Ian Happ took over at first base for […]

Corey Dickerson Won't Play on Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson (foot) is out of the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

Brad Miller will bat fifth and play left field […]

Jorge Polanco Gets the Day Off

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians. It appears to be a routine rest day after playing in the doubleheader on Saturday. Ronald Torreyes will cover shortstop and bat ninth versus righty Shane Bieber. Torreyes doesn't have much upside with the bat here.

Nelson Cruz is Out of the Lineup Sunday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Cruz played during both games of the doubleheader on Saturday, so he'll get the day off here. Luiz Arraez will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Shane Bieber. This is a […]

George Springer is Taking a Breather

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Jose Altuve is Resting on Sunday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It appears to be a routine rest day for the slugging infielder.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 25

Two weeks. That's all that separates us from the end of the 2019 season. It feels like we only just got started. Alas, all good things must come to an end. Hopefully this season has qualified as such for you - and if this feature played a role in making it so, even better. A […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 25

In one unfortunate week (though suspiciously, not on Friday the 13th), the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs both lost their biggest star in the midst of the NL wildcard race, and are still fending off the Phillies and Mets on razor-thin margins. In losing Christian Yelich and Javier Baez, for their big league squads and […]

The Cut List (Week 25) - Time to Let Go?

Only two weeks to go! Not much time in roto, but enough if things are close, or if you're entering crunch time in a head-to-head playoff. If you're facing those circumstances, you know it's no time to get casual. The players themselves don't have much time to turn things around either. Players do go through […]

Albert Pujols Hitting Cleanup Saturday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols will start and hit cleanup Saturday against the Rays. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer has cooled off lately, slugging only .385 over his last seven games. Pujols is clearly in the back-half of his career but has done a decent job as a run producer this season. […]

Kole Calhoun Has Three Home Runs In Last Two Games

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is starting and hitting third as the team takes on the Rays on Saturday. With Mike Trout sidelined, Calhoun has been tasked with driving in runs and has delivered the past few games. Calhoun cranked a home run on Thursday and then backed it up with two more home […]

Brian Goodwin In 2-For-27 Slump

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin will bat leadoff as the team takes on the Rays on Saturday. Goodwin is scuffling at the plate, going 2-for-27 over his last seven games and is hitting only .193 over his last 15. After slugging .667 in the month of August, Goodwin is limping his way to the […]

Yordan Alvarez Not In Lineup Saturday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez will get the night off Saturday against the Royals. With teammate Michael Brantley struggling it looks like the team is trying to keep Brantley in the lineup but keep his legs fresh by playing DH. After a slight lull at the plate, Alvarez has come back with a vengeance, […]

Yuli Gurriel Hitting Fifth On Saturday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is hitting fifth Saturday against the Royals. Gurriel returned to the lineup on September 12 after missing several games with left hamstring tightness and appears to be almost at full strength. It has been a dynamite year for Gurriel, who has surprised many in the fantasy community. Gurriel enters […]

Alex Bregman Has Cooled Off After Scorching Streak

Houston Astros shortstop Alex Bregman has cooled off a touch over the last seven days, hitting only .222 over his last 18 at-bats heading into Saturday's action. This comes on the heels of an absolutely blistering streak of production on offense and still is slashing .350/.469/.675 in the month of September. It merely has been […]

Michael Brantley Enduring Rough September

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is going through his worst offensive stretch of the season as the team takes on the Royals on Saturday. On a highly dangerous offensive team, Brantley has been the most consistent force all season. But Brantley is hitting only .169 over his last 53 at-bats and currently is slugging only […]

Jose Altuve Hitting .360 Over Last Seven Games

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is slashing .360/.407/.800 over his last seven games heading into Saturday's action against the Royals.
