Detroit Tigers pitcher Beau Burrows has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. He will be taking the roster spot of Rony Garcia (knee) who has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Garcia suffered a left knee sprain during warmups on Wednesday. His timetable to return is unknown, but he wasn't exactly an asset in […]

Jake Bauers Traded To Mariners

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers was acquired as part of a trade after being designated for assignment by Cleveland. He joins the team Thursday, and is in the starting lineup batting seventh and playing first base. Bauers becomes another name in the mix for playing time while regulars Evan White, Dylan Moore, and Kyle […]

Yusei Kikuchi Listed As Saturday's Starter

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) is scheduled to make the start versus the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. He is currently listed as the starter, while Justin Dunn (shoulder) gets back into the mix on Friday. Kikuchi exited early during his last start when he took a comebacker to his knee. It sounds like […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 6/10 - Monkey Knife Fight

Dual-game slates have become the new 10-game nights, and with two promising matchups, there's reason to be excited. The Nets face the Bucks in Game 3 and look to continue their winning streak back to Brooklyn. The Bucks defense has struggled thus far and playing on the road won't help their chances. In Utah, the […]

J.T. Realmuto Resting On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine day off, so fantasy managers don't need to worry about a possible injury. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh in this one. He hasn't […]

Travis Shaw Has Been Placed On IL

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He suffered a dislocated left shoulder when diving for a ball during Wednesday's contest. It sounds like the Brewers expect Shaw to miss a significant amount of time. Through 56 games, Shaw is hitting .191/.279/.337 batting line with […]

Alex Colome Strikes Out Two In Scoreless Frame

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome worked a scoreless frame for his team in Wednesday's loss to the New York Yankees. Colome allowed one hit but struck out a pair of batters, inducing six whiffs in the process, five of them on his cutter. The veteran righty has certainly righted the ship since his poor […]

Colin Moran Not In The Lineup Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was removed during Wednesday's contest after taking a pitch off his hand in the fifth inning. Moran underwent X-rays, but the results have not been announced yet. For the moment, fantasy managers can […]

Evan White Nearing Return

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) is set to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. He has been sidelined since May 14 due to a hip flexor injury. White is expected to play a few games in Triple-A and hopefully rejoin the big league team early next week. He is slashing […]

Robbie Grossman Hits His Seventh Home Run On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman went yard for the seventh time this season in Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went 2-for-5 overall in the game and compiled three RBI. Grossman has been a serviceable outfielder for fantasy purposes all year, particularly in OBP leagues, where his 14.8% walk rate is especially valuable. He's […]

Randy Dobnak Dealing With Bruised Fingernail Following Wednesday's Loss

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak took his sixth loss of the season in Wednesday's defeat at the hands of the New York Yankees. Dobnak pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing eight earned runs on 11 hits while walking three batters. He didn't strike out any batters but did generate 10 whiffs, seven of them on […]

Trevor Cahill Activated Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He missed three weeks of action due to a left calf strain, but wasn't pitching well before that. Cahill has posted a 6.81 ERA through eight starts and could very well end up pitching out of the bullpen. The […]

Carlos Santana Struggling Through The Start Of June

Kansas City Royals first baseman Carlos Santana has been slumping at the plate throughout the start of June. Over eight games, he's gone just 4-for-28 with five walks and no extra-base hits. He's slashing .143/.294/.143 over the eight-game stretch. Santana has had a decent year overall. Through 60 games, he's slashing .235/.370/.402 with 10 home […]

Brett Gardner Collects Three Hits Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Minnesota Twins. Gardner drove in a run for the second straight game on an RBI double in the third inning. Each of Gardner's batted balls registered exit velocities of 90 MPH or greater in his […]

Brad Keller Tagged With His Fifth Loss Against Angels

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller suffered his fifth loss of the season in Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Keller pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed eight hits, four walks and five earned runs while recording four strikeouts. This was Keller's worst start in quite awhile as he had given up three […]

Casey Mize Delivers Another Quality Start Against Mariners

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize posted his seventh quality start over his last eight outings on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Mize pitched six innings and allowed four hits, two walks and three earned runs while striking out six. He wound up with a no decision as the Tigers went on to lose the […]

Miguel Andujar Stays Hot In Wednesday's Victory

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar kept up his strong stretch of play in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Minnesota Twins. Andujar made outs in each of his first two plate appearances, though they were loud outs recorded at exit velocities of 100 MPH, suggesting that he was gearing up for a nice day at […]

Aaron Judge Goes Yard Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a home run and a pair of runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Twins. Judge started the scoring in the first inning, taking Randy Dobnak deep on an 0-2 slider, with the blast traveling 392 feet at an exit velocity of 106.5 MPH. He […]

Will Smith Rests On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will get a routine day off on Thursday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Smith has been having a good season and is hitting a respectable .264 with five home runs and 19 RBI. Smith will be replaced by backup catcher Austin Barnes. Barnes has been dealing with an ankle injury […]

AJ Pollock Resting On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock will rest on Thursday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pollock returned from the injured list last Thursday and has started four of the Dodgers five games since his return. Pollock is 4-for-17 since his return with two RBI. Health has always been an issue for the talented outfielder, but he […]

Chris Taylor Resting On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor will get Thursday afternoon off versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Taylor has been having a career year in 2021 and is hitting .275 with eight home runs, 33 RBI and six stolen bases. It's just a routine day off for Taylor and he will be replaced by infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry. […]

Max Muncy Returns To Lineup On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (ankle) will return to the lineup on Thursday. Muncy has been dealing with an ankle injury since the weekend, but played on Tuesday and sat on Wednesday for some extra rest. Muncy has been in a bit of a slump with just seven hits over his last 37 at-bats, […]

The Bigger Picture - Sizing Up 60 Games

We did it. We got through 60 games of the Major League season and yet, it isn't nearly over. Of all the trials and tribulations the abbreviated 2020 season brought, one of the greatest difficulties is having to invoke the caveat of the shortened season when conducting statistical analysis.

Is Streaming Catchers a Smart Strategy?

The common adage is that you should be streaming at catcher, but sometimes I think we cling to that a little too tightly. We buy into the easy narratives of "Catchers can't hit" and "Don't waste high picks or FAAB on catchers" but I've always believed it was an oversimplification. Yes, the deeper your league […]
