Scott Kingery Clears Waivers, Optioned To Triple-A

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery cleared waivers and will join the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Kingery, who signed a $24 million contract in 2018 before playing a Major League game, was optioned off the 40-man roster to potentially clear room for Luke Williams, the 29th ranked prospect in the Phillies' organization. Kingery has been one of […]

Scott Kingery Activated, Outrighted To Minors

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery (concussion) has been activated off the concussion injured list and outrighted to Triple-A. He passed through waivers unclaimed and is now off the 40-man roster. It's unsurprising that Kingery went unclaimed since he has been horrendous with the bat this season. Kingery was given a $24 million extension before making […]

Ryan Weathers Picks Up Third Victory

San Diego Padres starter Ryan Weathers gathered his third victory Monday against the Chicago Cubs with five frames of three-run baseball. The 21-year-old rookie yielded five singles and a walk, with the primary damage against him coming in a three-run third inning. He struck out four and threw 47 of 81 pitches for strikes. Despite […]

Spencer Turnbull Won't Miss Significant Time

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (forearm) landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. An MRI revealed no structural damage, which is always good news. Sadly, the organization didn't give much of a timetable for his return. On Tuesday, manager A.J. Hinch said he expects Turnbull to miss "a little bit of time, […]

Garrett Cleavinger Looks Sharp During Rehab Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) threw one scoreless inning during his first rehab appearance in Triple-A on Monday. He has been sidelined for a few weeks due to left forearm inflammation. Cleavinger only saw six innings of work with the Dodgers before going down due to injury. Hopefully, Cleavinger will be back […]

Tommy Pham Flourishing In Leadoff Spot

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, stolen base, run scored and RBI Monday against the Chicago Cubs. Pham continues his extended run, batting .305 (18-for-59) going back to May 21. The basepath theft was also his ninth of the season. After a horrific start to 2021, the 33-year-old […]

Dillon Thomas To Join Mariners On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas has been recalled from the minors and will join the big league team on Tuesday. The 28-year signed a minor league deal with the team over the offseason. He is hitting .338/.459/.625 to go along with six homers and four steals over 25 games in Triple-A this season. It's uncertain […]

George Valera Activated, Returns To Double-A

Cleveland Indians outfielder George Valera (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. The 20-year-old outfielder was sidelined for roughly a month, but will return to Double-A Lake County. He is currently the No. 93 prospect in the game by MLB Pipeline. However, Valera has struggled during his short stint in Double-A this season. […]

Champ or Chump: Cedric Mullins

Cedric Mullins is probably one of the biggest fantasy surprises of the year. The 26-year-old was virtually unheard of heading into 2021, though he logged MLB PAs in each season since 2018. Toiling in Baltimore can make it easy to get overlooked, especially if you're posting mediocre numbers with worse peripherals. Mullins gave up switch-hitting […]

Brian O'Grady Blasts First Homer Of Season

San Diego Padres outfielder Brian O'Grady went 2-for-4 with a homer, double and three RBI Monday against the Chicago Cubs. Called up from Triple-A prior to gametime, O'Grady started over a struggling Wil Myers in right field and provided an early spark, roping an offering from Cubs starter Adbert Alzolay over the wall for his […]

Manny Machado Goes Yard And Pockets Three RBI

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado finished 2-for-3 with a homer and three RBI Monday against the Chicago Cubs. Machado pocketed a pair of sacrifice flies to build the Friars lead before socking a solo dinger in the eighth inning to help ice the 9-4 victory. The 28-year-old continues to hit the ball hard […]

Most Improved Offenses After the NFL Draft

Each year, NFL teams enter the draft with hopes that they can bolster their squad into a powerhouse. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. Nevertheless, there are certainly teams that improved their offenses through this past draft, adding a solid skill position player or even their potential QB of the future. Though a lot of […]

Jorge Soler Hits His Fifth Home Run On Monday

Kansas City Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler went yard for the fifth time this year in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The home run was a solo shot and it was Soler's only hit of the day as he went 1-for-3. He also reached base after being hit by a pitch in the […]

Tight End Best Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

Tight end isn't everyone's favorite position in fantasy football. Beyond the top tier, we encounter uncertainty, frustration, and the need to stream. There is no such option in best-ball leagues, though. Securing a high-end TE, especially in an FFPC format that uses TE-Premium scoring, is very appealing but not everyone can have Travis Kelce, nor […]

Jackson Kowar Can't Make It Through The First In His Debut

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jackson Kowar had an MLB debut to forget against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. Kowar lasted just 2/3 of an inning, allowing three hits, two walks and four earned runs without recording any strikeouts. He was tagged with the loss as the Royals fell 8-3 in the game. The […]

Ian Happ Goes Yard In Loss

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss versus the San Diego Padres. Happ has really been in a slump and only has six hits over his last 43 at-bats. The outfielder came into the season as a breakout candidate, but he hasn't produced much in 2021. Hopefully […]

Dynasty Baseball Risers and Fallers - Pitchers

Now that we are about one-third of the way into the 2021 MLB season, it would be prudent to revisit the dynasty rankings and identify the biggest risers and fallers.
