D.J. Stewart Making Progress In Rehab

Baltimore Orioles outfielder D.J. Stewart (ankle) did some light running at Orioles camp on Wednesday after having surgery on his ankle in October.

Mariners Bringing Taijuan Walker Along Slowly

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said that the team will bring starting pitcher Taijuan Walker along slowly this spring to build his endurance and stamina, but the right-hander is healthy. Originally a first-round pick of the Mariners in 2010, Walker has thrown only 14 innings the last two seasons due to issues from Tommy John […]

Brendan Rodgers Slightly Ahead In Rehab

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) is slightly ahead of schedule in his rehab from surgery to fix a torn labrum in his right shoulder and has moved to throwing from 120 feet. It's good news, but Rodgers won't be ready for the start of the regular season and likely won't be a factor […]

Luis Urias Aiming For Opening Day

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias (wrist) said he wants "to be ready for Opening Day" and wasn't sporting a cast or brace on his surgically repaired left wrist at the team's spring clubhouse on Wednesday.

Buy, Sell, or Hold: John Collins and C.J. McCollum

Biggest Breakouts of 2019: Tight End

There were a lot of fantasy football busts at the tight end position in 2019, but there were also a lot of breakout stars.

Bam Adebayo Does A Bit Of Everything In Loss

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers – Victor Reyes

With a 457 ADP in 2020 NFBC leagues, Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes is an afterthought in all but the deepest leagues.  Perhaps the 25-year-old shouldn't be, though, as Reyes was quietly solid in 2019, slashing .304/.336/.431 in 292 plate-appearances, with three home runs and nine stolen bases. Having made stops in Arizona and the […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Pours In An Efficient 22 Points

2020 Keeper Value Rankings - First Base

Many years ago, I noticed the managers in my long-time keeper league were consistently making terrible keeper decisions year after year. I thought I would help them out instead of taking their money every year and find a good set of Keeper League Rankings to share with them. What I found was quite disturbing. There […]

2020 Third Base Rankings - H2H Points Leagues

Points leagues may seem like a slight variation from traditional 5x5 category scoring leagues but you must approach draft day with a different strategy if you wish to truly compete. Rankings themselves are a different beast altogether, as category specialists like Mallex Smith and Dee Gordon (stolen bases), Kyle Schwarber and Franmil Reyes (home runs), […]
