Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez led the way to a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored. It's his sixth home run of the season, and his first since August 17. Before that, he hadn't homered since June 27. It's been […]

Paul Sewald Locks Down Four-Out Save Wednesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald locked down a four-out save against the Houston Astros Wednesday, striking out three batters and allowing two hits. He now has eight saves for the year to go with a 2.45 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 79 strikeouts in 47 2/3 innings. Manager Scott Servais called him the team's MVP, […]

Cameron Smith Has Opportunity To Win FedEx Cup

Cameron Smith will start in the fifth position in the Tour Championship, five shots back of Patrick Cantlay at -10. Smith nearly won The Northern Trust, but a costly tee shot on the first playoff hole ruined those chances for Smith. Smith didn't have a great week at the BMW Championship but did enough to […]

Logan Gilbert Has His Best Stuff Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert was on his game Tuesday, tossing five scoreless innings in a tough matchup against the Houston Astros. He gave up four hits and no walks and struck out four batters. He didn't factor into the decision. Still, it's an excellent bounce-back outing for Gilbert, who had given up 19 […]

Jarred Kelenic Swipes A Bag Against Astros

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic stole his fourth base of the season against the Houston Astros Wednesday. He went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts. The steal is a good reminder of the five-category potential Kelenic possesses, but he's now struck out eight times in this three-game series, and in half of his 28 at-bats over his […]

Shaquem Griffin Staying In Miami

Miami Dolphins linebacker Shaquem Griffin was one of the more surprising cuts on Tuesday. He was added to the team in July as linebacker depth. Griffin was mainly a special teams player in Seattle, but has decent upside. On Wednesday, he was brought back to the Dolphins on the practice squad. At least now, Miami […]

Marquez Callaway (WR, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: Marquez Callaway finished his rookie season with only 21 receptions for 213 yards. However, he stepped up whenever his number was called. In his best game, he put up eight receptions for 85 yards on 10 targets. That could be a sign of things to come due […]

Antonio Williams Lands On Practice Squad

Buffalo Bills running back Antonio Williams failed to make the 53-man roster on Tuesday. He was released by the team, but brought back on the practice squad on Wednesday. Williams was a surprising cut because he does have some upside. The 23-year-old is unlikely to have a role in 2021. Both Devin Singletary and Zack […]

Kohei Arihara Looks Strong In Short Outing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara was surprisingly strong on the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

That was […]

Adbert Alzolay Records First Save

Chicago Cubs pitcher Adbert Alzolay tossed the final four innings of Tuesday's victory the Minnesota Twins to record his first career save. He allowed one hit, zero runs, zero hits and struck out five. Alzolay was activated earlier in the day from the 10-day injured list and was thrown straight into action. Manager David Ross […]

Joe Barlow Tagged For Five Runs

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow was unable to shut the door against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He wasn't even able to get through an inning before allowing five runs (two earned) with two walks in the 9-5 loss. It was partly Barlow's fault for walking two batters, but after that the Rangers defense […]

Justin Steele Gets Win On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Justin Steele threw five shutout innings in Wednesday's victory versus the Minnesota Twins. The lefty allowed one hit, zero runs, three walks and struck out three. The pitching prospect spent the first half of the season in the bullpen, but has been pitching exclusively as a starting pitcher in the second […]

Sonny Gray Picks Up Seventh Win On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed two runs over five innings in a 12-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 2 of a Wednesday doubleheader.

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: It'll probably be a while before we truly know who the quarterback is in New Orleans, but the fact he re-signed in New Orleans back in March means that Winston had to think he had a very, very good shot at winning the job over Taysom Hill. […]

Cam Newton (QB, NE) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~250 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~189 ANALYSIS: Cam Newton is being drafted as the QB32 right now. Two big reasons for that: first, Cam Newton is viewed as an injury risk and fantasy managers are baking that concern into their drafting right now, even though he played 15 of 16 games last year. […]

Ryan McMahon Drives In A Run On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies Third baseman Ryan McMahon went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and two walks in a 9-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

Connor Joe Reaches Three Times In Win

Colorado Rockies outfielder Connor Joe went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 9-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

Brendan Rodgers Collects A Pair Of Extra-Base Hits

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored, a walk, and a strikeout in a 9-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Rodgers put the Rockies on the board in the top of the fourth inning with a solo homer, his 11th of the […]

Ty Johnson (RB, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~205 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~236 ANALYSIS: After being waived by the Detroit Lions two games into last season, Ty Johnson was picked up by his current team, the New York Jets. In 11 games last year for the Jets, Johnson rushed 54 times for 254 yards and scored one touchdown, averaging a 17% snap […]

Kyle Freeland Exits Early With Left Hip Impingement

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland was given a no-decision on Wednesday after walking a pair of batters and striking out one over one-plus inning. He made it through the first inning without issues, although he did walk a batter. He then came back out for the second inning and walked the first batter he […]

Ketel Marte Collects Three Hits On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 3-for-5 with two runs scored during Wednesday's 8-3 win over the San Diego Padres. The 27-year-old is locked in at the plate right now and has logged a hit in 12 of his last 13 games. Despite missing most of the season due to injuries, Marte continues to produce […]

Arizona Diamondbacks' first baseman Pavin Smith went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs scored during Wednesday's 8-3 win over the San Diego Padres. He collected three hits on Wednesday, and it was his first multi-hit effort since August 20. The 25-year-old has had a decent rookie season, slashing .270/.326/.406 with 10 home runs, […]

Sergio Garcia Returns To East Lake For First Time Since 2017

2017 was the last time Sergio Garcia qualified for the Tour Championship, and put up a top-10 finish. After being cut from the Northern Trust, Garcia needed a big week at the BMW Championship, and he had just that. A T6 finish saw Garcia sneak into the Tour Championship in the 28th position in the […]

Luke Weaver Picks Up The Win In Return

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Luke Weaver (3-3) allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out three across six innings during Wednesday's 8-3 win over the San Diego Padres. He didn't walk anyone and picked up his third win of the season. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since May with a shoulder injury and was […]

Leonard Fournette (RB, TB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~85 ANALYSIS: Can someone explain Leonard Fournette's ADP to me? It feels like the fantasy community is acting like the playoffs never happened. I understand those stats don't count for fantasy, but it's not like they don't matter when assessing Fournette going forward. Yes, Fournette averaged just 11 points-per-game […]
