Jorge Alfaro Lands On Injured List To Open Year

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro will begin the 2020 season on the 10-day injured list, although the organization did not immediately announce the reason. To take his spot on the 30-man roster, infielder Sean Rodriguez had his contract selected. Alfaro had a stronghold on the team’s primary catching duties, looking to take the next step […]

Diego Castillo Lands On Paternity List

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed reliever Diego Castillo will begin the 2020 season on the paternity list, with utilityman Daniel Robertson having been recalled to take his spot on the 30-man roster. Castillo, who racked up a whopping 10.6 K/9 out of relief last season, figured to factor prominently into the back end of the Rays’ […]

Braves Acquire Scott Schebler Off Waivers

The Atlanta Braves have added outfielder Scott Schebler to the mix after he was placed on waivers after not making the Cincinnati Reds’ Opening Day roster. The Braves were looking for another outfield bat to replace veteran Nick Markakis (opting out of playing in 2020) when they signed Yasiel Puig, before that deal fell through. […]

Yordan Alvarez Gets Green Light To Rejoin Workouts

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez has been cleared to rejoin baseball activities and will report to the club’s alternate site in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Austin Voth To Serve As Nationals No. 5 Starter

Washington Nationals right-hander Austin Voth has made the club’s starting rotation, according to manager Dave Martinez. Voth was in competition alongside Erick Fedde and others in Summer Camp, but after posting a 3.30 ERA in nine appearances (eight starts) last season, Voth will get a chance to work out of the rotation from the jump […]

Travis d’Arnaud, Tyler Flowers Not Available To Start Year

Atlanta Braves catchers Travis D'Arnaud and Tyler Flowers will both miss Opening Day on Friday after exhibiting symptoms, yet testing negative for COVID-19.

Blue Jays To Play Home Games In Buffalo

The Toronto Blue Jays have finally found a home for the 2020 season as they’ll play the “majority” of their home games at their Triple-A stadium in Buffalo. Sahlen Field is on the smaller side compared to most major league ballparks, so Blue Jays hitters should fare well in their new home. We’ll get our […]

Tyler Rogers Takes Loss Thursday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tyler Rogers had a poor first outing in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Dodgers. He came into the game to start the seventh inning with the score 1-1 and proceeded to allow four runs on three hits while only recording two outs before being pulled. The 29-year-old was thought to […]

Johnny Cueto Pitches Well In First Start Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto pitched well in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Dodgers. The veteran pitched four innings, allowing one run on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts. He only threw 65 pitches, but it will not be surprising to see starters eased into the season given the short Summer […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Kansas Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 200 (7/24/20)

Friday features the first of back-to-back NASCAR Truck Series races at Kansas Speedway, with the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 200. This race should be mostly normal -- it's Saturday with a partial field invert that can create some really neat ways to exploit the DFS pricing -- but if Thursday's Cup race is any indication, […]

Eduardo Rodriguez To Be Shut Down For One Week

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (illness) will be shut down for one week due to minor complications following his positive COVID-19 test.

Seattle Seahawks 2020 Fantasy Outlook

Since Russell Wilson entered the league in 2012, the Seattle Seahawks have shown stability and grit each and every year. Thus, they have made the playoffs every year since 2012 sans the 2017 season. Wilson has proved to be a force and has carried the team despite the Legion of Boom disintegrating in recent seasons. […]

Andres Gimenez Makes Mets Roster

New York Mets shortstop Andres Gimenez, currently ranked 84 on MLB's Top-100 Prospects list and MLB Pipeline's third overall Mets prospect, made the Mets 30-man roster. With Amed Rosario entrenched as the Mets starting shortstop, the defensively sound Gimenez was initially expected to begin the season at Triple-A before the minor league season was canceled. […]

Deep Dive: Oakland A's Starting Rotation

Managing fantasy starting pitchers will be especially tough this season. With just three weeks of summer camp, some pitchers will be better prepared for the start of the season than others.

MLB Betting Picks (7/24/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Well, it wasn't exactly the opening night that we expected with the Yankees/Nationals game getting suspended after the fifth due to rain.

Drew Steckenrider Likely Out For The Season

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider was placed on the 45-day injured list due to right triceps tendinitis. It's likely the righty won't pitch again until the 2021 season. Steckenrider showed some promise in the past, but injuries have limited him to just 14 1/3 innings since 2018. He was expected to work near the […]

Week 1 Bullpen Usage Report for Fantasy Baseball

One of the biggest questions in baseball this season will be how managers approach bullpen usage. That was already arguably the manager's heaviest workload in a normal season, apart from immeasurable impacts on team mood and cohesion. However, this year the bullpen will be in even clearer focus. Every blown save counts 2.7 times more […]
