Xander Bogaerts Gets Sunday Off

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts will get a routine day off Sunday, against the Houston Astros. Eduardo Nunez will take his place and bat ninth against Astros ace Justin Verlander. Catcher Christian Vazquez gets a boost in the lineup after driving in two runs Saturday, and will bat sixth for just the second time […]

Miguel Sano is Resting on Sunday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Sano is getting a routine day off, so fantasy owners don't need to be alarmed about any injury. Williams Astudillo will cover third base and bat seventh versus righty Dylan Covey. Astudillo doesn't have […]

David Price Removed From Start For Flu-Like Symptoms

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price was removed from Saturday's start after experiencing flu-like symptoms; he faced just three hitters. According to manager Alex Cora, Price had been experiencing similar symptoms since Tuesday, but he granted Price's wish to pitch through it, despite catcher Sandy Leon recommending the southpaw sit the start out. The […]

Tim Anderson Returns To Sunday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (wrist) will return to Sunday’s lineup and bat seventh versus the Twins. Anderson missed Saturday’s contest with a wrist injury, but is good to go Sunday in a matchup versus Twins starter Jake Odorizzi. Anderson is safe to deploy in all formats.

Mitch Keller Recalled, Starting Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller has been recalled from Triple-A and will make his major league debut on Monday versus the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates play a doubleheader on Monday, so it's unclear which game Keller is starting. He could be an interesting DFS option and could be worth stashing in fantasy leagues. There […]

Clint Frazier (OF, NYY) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Things never seem to go as expected with the New York Yankees lineup (as there would be no story lines to be had), and due to some ongoing complications such as Giancarlo Stanton's injury setbacks, Clint Frazier's spot in the outfield appears to be safe […]

Cavan Biggio (2B/SS, TOR) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Blue Jays have had some well-documented issues at second base this season whether it be from injury or lack of performance, and they have recently decided to give the call to high-performing prospect (and son of HOFer Craig Biggio) Cavan Biggio. The 24-year […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

As I'm attempting to fill in for our inimitable Kyle Bishop, I want to point out that pitching help is tough to find, but that history favors owners who are willing to take risks and acknowledge that sometimes old dogs can learn new tricks. This week's waiver wire list features a number of arms which […]

Scott Oberg (RP, COL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Wade Davis hitting the IL recently with an oblique injury, it was announced that Scott Oberg would take over closer duties for the Colorado Rockies. While there is varying weight to such declarations, Oberg seems like a logical choice with his 1.69 ERA […]

Pedro Severino Collects Four Hits Saturday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino went 4-for-5 with four singles and an RBI in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Rockies. The 25-year-old has been a decent bat for the O's this season, posting a .276/.357/.494 slash line with five home runs and 12 RBI in 99 plate appearances. For a weak position, Severino is definitely […]

Luis Urias (2B, SD) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Urias' first taste of the big leagues in 2019 didn't go so hot, as he slashed a miserable .083/.241/.125 with a horrific 37.9% strikeout rate in 11 games. That'll surely be enough to scare many fantasy owners away, but it is worth […]

Andrew Cashner Earns Win Saturday With Offensive Help

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner improved to 5-2 despite a lackluster start in Saturday's win against the Rockies. Cashner pitched five innings, allowing five runs on eight hits (including a three-run home run) and no walks with five strikeouts. The 32-year-old has been mediocre this season, posting a 4.55 ERA with 48 strikeouts and […]

Renato Nunez Goes Yard In Fourth Straight Game Saturday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman/designated hitter Renato Nunez continued to heat up in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Rockies, going 3-for-5 with two singles and a two-run home run.

Pablo Sandoval (1B/3B, SF) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: In a true blast from the plast, San Francisco Giants corner infielder Pablo Sandoval is slashing a tidy .302/.330/.635(!) with seven home runs, 18 RBI and even one stolen base on the season. His ridiculous slash line is carried by an incredible […]

Jonathan Villar Hits Three-Run Home Run Saturday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar had a great day at the plate in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Rockies. The 28-year-old went 3-for-5 with a single, a double, a three-run home run, and a strikeout. Despite the positive outing, Villar has been cold at the plate in May, batting .236 with three HR, 13 […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 9

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Carpenter's been struggling this season, but he seems to be putting it together of late, bringing his slash line up to .222/.335/.389. He's got the upside to be an excellent fantasy asset, but he'll need […]

Paul Goldschmidt Smacks Three Singles on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit three singles on Saturday, finishing 3-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. He raised his slash line to .269/.360/.442. "Goldy" hasn't been the elite fantasy product we've all gotten used to, but he could break out any day and give his fantasy owners what they've been […]

Jordan Hicks Saves His Tenth on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Jordan Hicks picked up his 10th save of the season on Saturday, tossing a perfect inning with 12 pitches. He dropped his ERA to 2.65 and his opponent's batting average to .175. The Cardinals haven't had many save chances recently, but Hicks has the upside to be one of the more […]
