Ildemaro Vargas Gets Cut By Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Ildemaro Vargas has been designated for assignment on Sunday. The 29-year-old infielder was claimed off waivers on May 17 after a short stint with the Chicago Cubs. Vargas is 3-for-34 this season and recorded only one hit during his time in Pittsburgh. Chase De Jong has been recalled to take his spot […]

Travis Jankowski Joins Phillies Roster

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Travis Jankowski has been recalled from the minors on Sunday. The veteran outfielder will take the place of Roman Quinn (Achilles) who will miss the rest of the regular season. Quinn suffered an Achilles injury while rounding the bases during Saturday's contest. Jankowski doesn't offer much upside in terms of fantasy production. […]

Carl Edwards Jr. Recalled By Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. has been recalled by the organization on Sunday. The 29-year-old relief pitcher is best known for his contribution on the Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series team. Since then, Edwards has made a few stints in the MLB, but hasn't played anywhere too long. He has thrown five […]

Grayson Greiner Suffers Setback During Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers catcher Grayson Greiner (hamstring) has put his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on hold. Manager A.J. Hinch is not calling it a setback, but the 29-year-old catcher continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue. He wasn't exactly crushing the ball before landing on the injured list. It sounds like the Tigers are […]

Chase De Jong Starting Versus Rockies

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chase De Jong has been recalled from the minors on Sunday. He will make the start against the Colorado Rockies, but fantasy managers shouldn't get excited. De Jong was absolutely crushed allowing 12 earned runs in his short stint with the Astros last season. To be fair, De Jong has posted […]

J.D. Martinez Gets Rest Day

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Miami Marlins. This sounds like a routine day off for the 33-year-old slugger. He had started each of the last four games prior to this matchup. Alex Verdugo will take over as the DH and bat […]

Evan Longoria Homers Again Saturday, Stays Hot

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria had another nice day at the plate in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers, going 2-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, two RBI, and two strikeouts. The HR was Longo's eighth of the season and his fourth in the last eight games. The veteran has been […]

Chad Kuhl Expected To Be Activated On Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Monday. General manager Ben Cherington believes Kuhl will be ready to take the mound against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Kuhl has been sidelined since mid-April due to a shoulder issue. He posted a 6.32 ERA, 1.78 […]

Logan Webb Pitches Well In Saturday Win

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb had a great first start back from the injured list after recovering from a right shoulder strain, earning the win in Saturday's 11-6 game against the Dodgers. Webb pitched five innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on a hit and no walks with seven strikeouts. The 24-year-old has […]

John Means Takes Tough Loss Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means fell to 4-1 in Saturday's Game 2 3-1 loss to the White Sox. Means pitched 5 innings, allowing three runs on five hits (including two home runs) and two walks with four strikeouts. It was a decent start overall, but a subpar one for Means, who has been outstanding […]

Avisail Garcia Paces The Offense For Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI during Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. The 29-year-old started the scoring with a two-run shot during the first inning and also brought home another run via a groundout two frames later. He and the Brewers seem […]

Freddy Peralta Goes The Distance In Win

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (5-1) earned the victory in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader at Washington after allowing one run on four hits with seven strikeouts and one walk over seven innings.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: The White Sox organization is famous for progressing their top prospects aggressively towards the MLB, particularly when the prospect came from the college ranks.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just because it was the first fact that I personally checked, and you're probably wondering if you don't already know; William Contreras, catcher for the Atlanta Braves, is the younger (and much-lesser touted) brother of the Cubs' Willson Contreras by about six […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

This weekend marked the triumphant return of CI-eligible Cody Bellinger. He was likely the highest drafted or most costly CI a team selected to start the season. Bellinger was out since April 5 with a broken leg. He was off to a terribly slow start, but the sample size was small enough to read nothing […]
