Wil Myers Exits Early During Sunday's Contest

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (neck) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 31-year-old was pulled out of the contest in the third inning due to neck tightness. Since then, the organization hasn't given an update on Myers, but the expectation is that he's listed as day-to-day. […]

MLB Hitter Studs and Duds - Advanced Metrics Leaders for BWS (Week 22)

Not long ago, Jordan Rosenblum analyzed a metric called BWS (Barrels, Walks, Strikeouts). As he stated, "A focus on just three metrics: barrels, walks, and strikeouts, cuts through the noise to get at a hitter’s true talent level." Of course, he went deeper and created his own weighted version using historical data to compare against […]

Evan Longoria Has Pinch-Hit Appearance

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hamstring) was out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran slugger continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue. Although, Longoria was able to come off the bench as a pinch hitter during Sunday's contest. The right-hander slugger did strike out, but […]

Luis Robert Uncertain For Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) was activated off the paternity leave list on Sunday. Despite that, Robert remained out of the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Twins. He continues to battle an ongoing wrist injury, so that's probably why he sat out. Robert has been dealing with this wrist problem […]

Cleveland Browns D/ST - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: The Browns were one of my favorite defenses coming into last season, but they didn't quite pan out. They had an up-and-down season as a fantasy unit, but their actual defensive performance wasn't that bad. As I mentioned in my draft article, when I mentioned […]

Gavin Lux Could Miss More Time

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux (back, neck) was out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. He has missed three straight games due to a lingering back and neck issue. The team did give Lux a cortisone shot on Saturday, so hopefully that helps him. The 24-year-old will likely […]

Austin Slater Is Still Dealing With An Injury

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater (finger) was held out of the Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It marked the fourth game in a row that Slater has missed. He dislocated his pinky finger last week, so the team is giving him extra time off. Clearly, Slater still isn't ready to play, but it […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~185 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~200 ANALYSIS: The Ravens are ranked around 13th or 14th on the season, depending on the fantasy rankings system you use, but I believe they can get back to their elite ways in 2022, or at least close to it.

Jack Doyle retired after nine seasons with the Colts and MAC was handed a generous three-year, $18 million contract extension with $8.2 million guaranteed.

Rhamondre Stevenson May Have Larger Role Catching Passes

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson received praise from head coach Bill Belichick regarding his pass-catching prowess. "It's something that he now has shown that he can do.

Adrian Houser To Start On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser will make the start against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. The right-hander will step up and fill in with Freddy Peralta having his start pushed back. It sounds like the plan is for Peralta to get extra rest and take the mound on Tuesday. Houser won't be a recommended […]

Triston Casas Gets First Career Hit

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas accomplished a big milestone during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old recorded his first hit of his major league career. It was an infield chopper in the fifth inning off lefty reliever John King. The expectation is that Casas should play basically everyday against right-handed pitching. […]

Michael Pineda Gets Designated For Assignment

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Pineda has been designated for assignment by the organization. This shouldn't come as a surprise as the Tigers want to look at younger players during the final month of the season. Pineda has been awful with a 5.79 ERA and 1.41 WHIP on the season. Despite that, Pineda has put […]

Aaron Judge Collects Three Hits In Victory

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has put together an incredible season in 2022. The righty slugger appears to be the Yankees only reliable source of offense at the moment. On Sunday, Judge went 3-for-5 with a home run and a double in the 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. This home run notched […]

Max Fried Posts Strong Outing On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried has been fantastic this season and continued his success on Sunday. The left-hander went five scoreless innings during Sunday's win over the Miami Marlins. Fried struck out six hitters and retired 14 of the 15 batters he faced during this contest. The 28-year-old has allowed three earned runs or […]

Miles Mikolas Tosses Eight Scoreless Innings

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas posted a stellar performance against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. The right-hander allowed only two hits on the day, while going eight scoreless innings. This marked the third time this season that Mikolas has thrown eight innings while allowing two hits or less. The 34-year-old has 19 quality […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Should Be Ready For Week 1

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (lower body) is expected to suit up for their Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old was held out of the preseason finale and missed practice last week. Despite that, the Broncos are confident that Okwuegbunam will be ready to play at the beginning of the season. […]

Alec Pierce Could Have Significant Targets

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has slid under the radar early during training camp. There hasn't been much noise surrounding the Colts' second round wideout. Despite that, Pierce could very well surprise people this season. James Boyd of The Athletic believes Pierce could see more targets than fellow receiver Parris Campbell. The expectation is […]

Jesse James Signs With Browns

The Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement with free-agent tight end Jesse James. This is a solid signing for the Browns who need depth at the position. The former fifth round pick hasn't done much in the NFL since his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, James has been targeted less than 30 times […]
