3 Impact Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Moises Ballesteros, Samuel Basallo, Spencer Jones

It is crucial for fantasy managers to always check the waiver wire for high-impact prospects who are nearing the major leagues. This season, many prospects have received the call and made an immediate impact, such as Nick Kurtz of the Athletics. In this piece, we will look at two budding hitters at Triple-A who have […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto Tosses Gem Against Giants

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto bounced back in a big way on Sunday, tossing seven shutout frames against the San Francisco Giants in a 5-2 win. Yamamoto scattered three hits and two walks while punching out seven. Unfortunately for the 26-year-old righty, he was saddled with a no-decision after Tanner Scott blew a […]

Shota Imanaga Shuts Down Yankees on Sunday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Shota Imanaga (6-3) authored a dominant start on Sunday, tossing seven one-run innings against the New York Yankees in a 4-1 win. Imanaga was excellent throughout this one, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out six. After a solid start to his season, Imanaga missed a month and […]

Top-5 Hitter Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash For Week 16 - Redraft Leagues (2025)

I was ready to say this was a quiet week for hitter call-ups. However, the Astros made a little noise by calling up Brice Matthews on Thursday evening. There are still several good prospects on the precipice of the majors ready to make a fantasy impact. Let's look at a few top prospects to stash […]

Nathan Eovaldi Dominant Again in Seventh Win

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (7-3) pitched into the eighth inning on Sunday, allowing just one run and picking up the win against the Houston Astros. Eovaldi scattered five hits, walked one, and struck out eight over 7 ⅔ IP in what was another convincing performance. The 35-year-old veteran is having a career season, […]

Ryan Helsley Escapes With Save

St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley finished off a 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, picking up his 19th save. Helsley made things interesting in this one, allowing a walk and a single before getting three straight outs, including a strikeout, to escape the jam. The 30-year-old fireballer has been decent this year, […]

Mason Miller Earns Another Save

Athletics closer Mason Miller earned his second save in as many days on Sunday, closing out a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Miller allowed just a single and struck out one in his inning of work. The flamethrower had his stuff today, hitting 104 mph on his fastball. While his numbers are a […]

David Bednar Continues Scoreless Streak

Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar slammed the door on the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, tossing a clean ninth inning to preserve a 2-1 win. Bednar allowed a leadoff single to Carlos Correa, but then got three straight outs, including two punchouts, to pick up his 13th save. The 30-year-old righty has been lights out since […]

Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Breakouts or Fake Outs? Part 10

With the All-Star break looming in a few days, and the fact that I am running out of pitchers to break down (I suppose I should have limited myself to three per article), I will conduct another week of statistical analysis instead of individual pitcher breakdowns. Throughout this season, I have been developing my own […]

Tyler Reddick Evades Near Upset to Remain Alive in In-Season Challenge

It looked for most of Sunday's race at Sonoma that Ryan Preece was actually going to upset In-Season Tournament favorite Tyler Reddick to advance to the semifinal against Ty Gibbs, which was very shocking as Preece spent much of Stage 3 inside the top 10, while Reddick was outside of it, even though he is […]

Ty Gibbs One of Three Tylers to Make In-Season Challenge Semifinals

In an odd coincidence, all three NASCAR Cup Series drivers named Tyler advanced to the final four of NASCAR's In-Season Challenge tournament bracket. While Tyler Reddick is not really a surprise, both Ty Dillon and Ty Gibbs definitely were as Dillon isn't a good driver and Gibbs isn't very good yet. Nonetheless, Gibbs benefited mightily […]

Kyle Larson Curiously Mediocre at Sonoma Before Late-Race Crash

Kyle Larson had a curiously mediocre run at Sonoma, a track where he had earned impressive wins twice before in 2021 and 2024 as well as four consecutive poles from 2017-2022. Larson wasn't remotely in contention, spending most of the race between 11th and 20th while his teammates William Byron and Chase Elliott were fast […]

John H. Nemechek Edges Out Teammate to Make In-Season Challenge Semifinal

As usual for the Legacy Motor Club drivers on road courses, neither John Hunter Nemechek nor Erik Jones ran very well at Sonoma on Sunday. But also as usual, Nemechek had more road-course speed than Jones, who was at times battling the slowest cars like Katherine Legge's. That allowed Nemechek to beat Jones to advance […]

Ty Dillon Bumps Alex Bowman to Advance to In-Season Challenge Semifinal

Improbably, Ty Dillon advanced to the semifinal of NASCAR's In-Season Challenge after bumping his opponent Alex Bowman out of the way despite Bowman outrunning Dillon for nearly the entire race. Although his 17th-place finishing position was the best of his career at Sonoma, he still didn't actually run very well as his average running position […]

Julio Rodriguez Homers for Third Straight Day

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went yard for the third consecutive game on Sunday in an 8-4 win over the Detroit Tigers. Rodriguez blasted a solo home run off right-hander Jack Flaherty in the third inning, but that was hardly his lone contribution. He also chipped in an RBI double, drew two walks, stole a […]

Riley Greene Smacks 24th Home Run in Loss

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene went deep for the second game in a row in an 8-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Greene connected on a solo home run off left-hander Gabe Speier to give the Tigers a 4-3 advantage in the bottom of the seventh. Detroit's bullpen squandered the lead, but it […]

Tanner Scott Blows Save on Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Tanner Scott recorded his major league-worst seventh blown save in a 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Leading 2-0, the Dodgers called on Scott to put away the Giants in the bottom of the ninth inning. The left-hander retired Willy Adames to lead off the frame, but Matt […]

Ceddanne Rafaela Goes Deep Again on Sunday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela continued his July power surge in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Rafaela finished 1-for-3 with a two-run shot off Rays starter Ryan Pepiot, giving him five dingers in 11 games this month. The 24-year-old has gone 16-for-41 (.390) with six doubles, 15 RBI, and […]

Blake Perkins Reinstated, Optioned to Minors

The Milwaukee Brewers have reinstated outfielder Blake Perkins (shin/groin) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, per a team announcement. The Brewers made room for him on their 40-man roster by designating outfielder Drew Avans for assignment. Perkins has yet to play in the majors this year as a result of […]

Aroldis Chapman Handles Rays for 17th Save

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman put an exclamation point on a great first half of the season in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Chapman struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning to slam the door on Tampa Bay and record his 17th save of 2025. Now an […]

Sean Manaea Fans Seven, Takes Loss in Season Debut

New York Mets left-hander Sean Manaea (0-1) made his season debut and took the loss in a 3-2 decision against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The Mets activated Manaea on Sunday after he sat out the first three-plus months of the season with oblique and elbow injuries. Despite the outcome, Manaea pitched well in […]

Carlos Estevez Blows Save, Earns the Win

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Carlos Estevez blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning for his fifth blown save of the season on Sunday, but ended up picking up his fourth win thanks to a walk-off single by Nick Loftin in the bottom of the inning. He allowed a double and a triple to […]

Jace LaViolette Selected 27th Overall by Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians have selected outfielder Jace LaViolette out of Texas A&M with the 27th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. LaViolette has as much raw power as any hitter in the class, and he adds a ton of thump to a Cleveland organizaton that has a need for some pop. He has the […]

Eury Perez Throws Seven Shutout Innings

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez was dominant on Sunday in an 11-1 win against the Orioles, striking out six over seven scoreless frames. He allowed three hits and didn't walk a single batter. The youngster had a rocky first four starts in his return to the mound for the first time since 2023, but […]

Cristopher Sanchez Tosses Quality Start, Earns the Win

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez allowed one run on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 7 ⅓ innings in a 2-1 victory against the Padres. This was his eighth win of the season, bringing his record to 8-2. The 28-year-old has been one of the most reliable pitchers in baseball, as […]
