Odubel Herrera Drives In Two Versus Rockies

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Saturday. Herrera is slashing .261/.316/.424 as he's been a solid bottom-of-the-order bat for the Phillies. He won't provide much power, but Herrera has value in deeper fantasy leagues. He's got good matchups versus the […]

Austin Jackson Will Play In Opener

The Miami Dolphins removed the questionable tag on left tackle Austin Jackson, meaning that he has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and will play in the Week 1 season opener against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura went 2-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored to help secure a win over Colorado on Saturday. Segura is up to 12 homers on the season to go with nine stolen bases and a .297 batting average as he's been a good middle infielder for fantasy managers […]

Chris Archer Placed On Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (hip) is heading back to the injured list. Archer had left his start on Saturday with a recurrence of left hip soreness, the same issue that pushed back his return from a separate injured list stay for forearm tightness. Reliever Nick Anderson was reinstated from the IL in […]

Andrew McCutchen Collects Two Hits In Win Over Rockies

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Raisel Iglesias Earns The Save Saturday

Los Angeles Angels reliever Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth inning of the 4-2 victory over the Houston Astros, securing his 31st save of the season.

Rich Hill (SP, NYM) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Hill has done a solid job of proving that age means nothing this year, as the 41-year-old southpaw has gone 6-6 with a 3.82 ERA, 1.165 WHIP and 22.2 percent strikeout rate over 139 innings with the Rays and Mets. He's gone […]

Andrew McCutchen Out Of Lineup Against Rockies

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen will take a seat on the bench Sunday against Ryan Feltner and the Colorado Rockies. It's a routine day off for McCutchen, who has struggled to a .170/.265/.340 slash line over 112 plate appearances in his last 30 games. He's been especially bad against right-handed pitching, slashing .177/.288/.325 against them […]

Brad Miller Launches Pinch-Hit Homer Versus Rockies

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Brad Miller launched a solo home run as a pinch-hitter in his only at-bat versus the Rockies on Saturday. Miller had been getting more playing time with Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) done for the season, but he remains a fringe fantasy option at best. Miller is batting just .231 on the season […]

Jake Odorizzi (SP, HOU) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Odorizzi has had a rather solid bounce-back season in 2021 after an injury-shortened season last year.

Jose Suarez Secures The Victory Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Suarez (7-7) earned the win in Saturday's 4-2 game against the Houston Astros.

Andrew Chafin, Sergio Romo Implode For A's On Saturday

Oakland Athletics relief pitchers Andrew Chafin and Sergio Romo combined for one of the worst innings of the season for the A's, as they allowed five runs to turn a feel-good afternoon into a miserable loss.

Texans Have High Asking Price For Deshaun Watson

The Houston Texans were asking for a package of six players and NFL draft picks from interested teams calling in about quarterback Deshaun Watson this summer, according to league sources.

Austin Meadows Sitting Against Tigers Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows is not in the starting lineup against Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers Sunday, continuing the trend of sitting against left-handed pitching.

Matt Olson Homers In Loss To Rangers On Saturday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson went 1-for-4 with his 33rd homer of the season on Saturday versus the Rangers.

Austin Ekeler Officially Active For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's opener against the Washington Football Team. He will also be a "full-go," which is undoubtedly good news, especially for those in PPR leagues.

Broncos May Sit Bradley Chubb As A Precaution

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) is a game-time decision for Week 1 against the New York Giants, and the team could decide his status after a pre-game workout.

Keelan Cole A “True Game-Time Decision”

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (hamstring) is considered a game-time call for the opener against the Panthers. Cole "tweaked" his hamstring during practice throughout the week, so if he is officially ruled out, the team will be down another wideout after Jamison Crowder will sit to adhere to the league's health and safety […]

Jadeveon Clowney Should Be Good For Week 1

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (illness) and center J.C. Tretter (knee) should be available for the Week 1 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Darnell Mooney Should Be Good To Go

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (back) is anticipated to be good to go for the season opener against the Rams.
