Chris Paul Remains Questionable On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) remains questionable ahead of the postseason matchup against the Lakers. The veteran continues to deal with a right shoulder issue sustained during Game 1, and he has struggled ever since, combining for only 15 points during the team's previous two games. With Paul limited, the defensive focus should continue […]

Luka Doncic Expected To Play In Game 4

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (neck) is expected to play on Sunday against the Clippers. Doncic is dealing with a cervical strain, and during the Game 3 loss to Los Angeles, he was reportedly experiencing pain that radiated down his left arm. However, he still managed to finish the contest, dropping 44 points throughout 38 […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

It has been a fun 10 weeks. The pitching pool continues to show its depth, as there have been strong arms aplenty to be had on the waiver wire. If you're in a league of average depth or less, chances are you could have made a pretty competitive pitching staff just by picking a handful […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have once again been littered with injuries. Both good and bad things arise from injuries. Let's start with the bad, which means losing a player, sometimes a key player, from your roster. The good is a chance to add a new player, and certain players […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (5/30/21): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

After a day off from writing this column because it was my anniversary Friday and I was not going to be able to get something out before Saturday's early game, we're back today to talk about Sunday's three games! The biggest game today? The Sparks/Sky rematch. Los Angeles had a horrid start to 2021, but […]

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 […]

Catchers to Stream - Week 10 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position. Instead of giving into easy narratives about the lack of talent at the catcher position and how they're the kickers of fantasy baseball, I'm here to create a place where catchers are celebrated for how they can help our teams. […]

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. The 24-year-old took advantage of the shortened game as part of the twin bill and delivered the first complete game of […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Baltimore Ravens Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff. […]

Jameson Taillon (SP, NYY) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: One second you're chugging along with the low-stress Pirates as one of the game's top emerging arms, and next thing you know, it's been nearly two years since you've pitched an MLB game and you're working through the fickle frustrations of returning […]

Andrew Vaughn (1B/OF, CHW) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

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. In the case of former Berkeley 1B/LF turned 2019 third-overall draft pick Andrew Vaughn, he needed very little […]

William Contreras (C, ATL) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

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 […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

Injuries have been a plague upon Major League Baseball from the jump this year; middle infielders haven't been spared, so things are looking a bit thin out there on the ol' waiver wire. You can still find help, though, and that's the goal of this exercise. Most of the players who will be written up […]
