Santana has had a great first season with the Mariners, slashing .273/.342/.472 with 19 home runs, 65 RBI […]

David Peralta Active But Not Starting On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) has rejoined the team and is available off the bench for Wednesday's game. Peralta went on the Injured List with right shoulder soreness on July 3 and has missed the team's last 14 games. It's been a solid season for Peralta, who is slashing .289/.352/.476 with nine home runs […]

Joey Gallo Out With Wrist Soreness On Wednesday

Texas Rangers third baseman Joey Gallo (wrist) left Tuesday's game with wrist soreness. X-rays were negative and he's scheduled for an MRI Wednesday, which has him out of the lineup for the series finale against the Mariners. There should be more news following the MRI, but for now, get Gallo out of your daily lineups. […]

Wilmer Flores In For Jake Lamb

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Wilmer Flores will play second base and bat sixth on Wednesday against left-handed Baltimore Orioles starter John Means, with Jake Lamb sitting and Eduardo Escobar taking over at third. Arizona last faced a left-handed pitcher on Saturday and that was also the last time Flores played and Lamb sat, so there would […]

Bryce Harper Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is getting a breather Wednesday among several shakeups in the Philadelphia lineup. Philadelphia is at Detroit and thus using a DH, who will be Rhys Hoskins batting third. At Hoskins' first base spot is J.T. Realmuto, with Andrew Knapp catching. Second baseman Cesar Hernandez will lead off with shortstop Scott […]

Gary Sanchez Lands On Injured List

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez was placed on the injured list Wednesday with a left groin strain suffered Tuesday night. Catcher Kyle Higashioka was recalled and will share duties with Austin Romine. Fantasy owners should certainly keep Sanchez stashed. Even by catcher standards, Romine is not a fantasy asset, while Higashioka will presumably play […]

Michel Baez Tosses Scoreless Inning In Debut

San Diego Padres reliever Michel Baez recorded a scoreless inning in his major league debut Tuesday. Baez limited the New York Mets to a single in his middle-relief appearance to kick off his career. The Padres No. 5 prospect and No. 70 in baseball was recently promoted from Double-A where he registered a 2.00 ERA […]

Robbie Grossman, Jurickson Profar Back In Lineup

Oakland Athletics outfielder Robbie Grossman and second baseman Jurickson Profar are back in the lineup Wednesday after sitting in favor of Chad Pinder and Franklin Barreto on Tuesday. Grossman is batting seventh and Profar ninth. Grossman has been a better real-life hitter than in fantasy in 2019, while Profar has better counting stats but is […]

Chris Paddack Inefficient In Queens

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack was ineffective on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs in a loss against the New York Mets. The fiery rookie needed 88 pitches to survive five innings, yielding five hits and two walks. He struck out four and served up two critical long balls to veteran second baseman Robinson Cano. […]

Eugenio Suarez Off Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez, coming off of three home runs in his past two games, is not in the lineup Wednesday. Josh VanMeter will play third base and bat fifth against pitcher Jhoulys Chacin and the Milwaukee Brewers. Batting in Suarez's usual third spot in the order will be outfielder Jesse Winker. Winker, […]

Peter Lambert Escapes Before Blowout Begins

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Peter Lambert scared fantasy owners on Tuesday night when they saw the game score, but he escaped relatively unscathed in the blowout loss to the Nationals. Lambert exited after 5 1/3 innings, allowing three earned runs along the way. He struck out eight hitters, but he also allowed nine hits and […]

Yonder Alonso to Make First Rockies Start

Colorado Rockies first baseman Yonder Alonso will make his first start for the club, in place of a resting Daniel Murphy, for the opening game of a doubleheader at the Washington Nationals. Alonso doubled as a pinch-hitter on Tuesday to begin his Rockies tenure, but he only hit .178/.275/.301 for the White Sox this season. […]

Joey Wendle In For Willy Adames

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle will play shortstop and bat seventh against David Price and the Boston Red Sox, as usual starting shortstop Willy Adames is out of the lineup for the first time since Friday. Neither Wendle (.198/.275/.262) nor Adames (.233/.293/.372)has been very good this season and neither is very relevant in redraft […]

Yasiel Puig Could Be Traded

According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the Cincinnati Reds are open to trading outfielder Yasiel Puig at the trade deadline. The Reds have scuffled since the All-Star break, which may lead them to explore trade options for the multi-talented outfielder, who can be a free agent after the season. Puig has put together a quality […]

Chris Sale Punches Out 10 Rays

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale recorded 10 strikeouts, while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in six innings of work during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rays. The southpaw needed 116 pitches to get through the outing but still made solid work of the Tampa Bay lineup. That's back-to-back double-digit […]

Charlie Blackmon Could Be Traded

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon has been one of the most electric players in the league this season, but there are rumors swirling that he could leave town at the trade deadline. The bottom has fallen out recently for the Rockies as they've plummeted in the standings, so they may have possibly become sellers at […]

Jesse Winker Homers In Blowout Win

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker went 2-for-2 with a homer, one run, and two RBI in a 14-6 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Winker went deep in the first inning off Milwaukee starter Zach Davies, giving him 14 dingers on the season. Overall, the young outfielder is hitting .261 with the 14 homers, […]

Jorge Polanco Homers, Drives In Three

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco had a big night in a wild 14-12 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Polanco went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two runs, and three RBI in the 10-inning loss. The young shortstop continues his career year, hitting .312 with 15 homers, 62 runs, 49 RBI, and […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 17 - Buy or Sell?

Some players will be changing home ballparks in the coming days. It's hard to address that directly before any trades are actually made, but keep in mind if any of the below players are moved, it may become easier or harder for them to continue or resuming hitting homers. Weekly reminders: EVAB (pronounced ee-vab or […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 17)

It could be a busy week ahead with the traded deadline only seven days away on July 31. The impending trade deadline could very well have serious implications for many of the prospects discussed below. A few of them could even be on the move to new organizations. The Padres front office has been frenetically […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 17

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Hot Prospects To Watch - Trey Supak, Trent Grisham, Cal Raleigh, Tucker Davidson

As we get deeper into the second half of the season, there's a greater chance we'll see more and more prospects called up from the minor leagues. That doesn't mean they'll play regularly, however, and not all of them will be fantasy-relevant immediately. But it's certainly an exciting time for those in fantasy leagues looking […]

Caleb Smith Picks Up Another Win

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith led his team to victory over the White Sox on Tuesday. The 27-year-old went through his first 17 batters before finishing the night by allowing just two hits and one run while striking out nine through seven innings. Smith has been highly-effective since returning to the lineup after missing […]

Alex Wood Sharp in Final Rehab Start

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alex Wood, who has yet to pitch for his new team after injuring his back in the spring, pitched six strong innings in his final rehab start for the Chattanooga Lookouts this past Monday and looks to make debut for the big club soon. Wood threw 85 pitches over his six innings, […]

Rougned Odor Homers Twice In Victory

Texas Ranger Rougned Odor hit his 14th and 15th home runs of the year on Tuesday night, in a 7-2 victory over the Mariners, with the two blasts giving him three homers in the past two games. The notoriously streaky second baseman, who once punched Jose Bautista square in the face, is enjoying his best […]

Gary Sanchez Possibly Headed To IL

After the New York Yankees' wild victory over the Minnesota Twins Tuesday night, manager Aaron Boone gave an update on catcher Gary Sanchez. The All-Star catcher exited the game in the eighth inning running down a ground out. He appeared to have suffered an ankle injury, but Boone proclaimed it to be a groin injury […]

Miguel Sano Homers Twice in Slugfest Against Yankees

Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano did his part at the plate Tuesday night, in the Twins 14-12 loss to the Yankees, blasting two home runs and driving in five. Sano's boomstick struck for the first time in the bottom of the fourth, when he crushed a chest-high hanging curve 414 feet, with two men on […]

Aaron Hicks Has His Moment In Classic Win

The New York Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins in 10 innings Tuesday night at Target Field. It was a 14-12 final score that saw a combined 35 hits and 12 runs in the final three frames. Outfielder Aaron Hicks was at the center of it all, as he drilled a dramatic two-run home run in […]
