Week 9 MLB Closers & Bullpen Usage Report

Monitoring bullpens in 2020 will be a vital task each and every day. Because of this, we'll be publishing a weekly article at RotoBaller that tracks which bullpens are being taxed and which pitchers within that bullpen are being heavily used. The idea of this column is to help you gain an inside track into which […]

Wade Miley Has Outside Chance To Return Over Weekend

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (shoulder) is in consideration to start this weekend against the White Sox as the club attempts to figure out it’s starting rotation. Miley has been beset by numerous injuries in 2020, which have limited him to just four starts. In his time on the mound, he has not been […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

It feels like the baseball season has just started, but we are reaching the conclusion. Alas, that is life in a 60-game season. For fantasy purposes that means it's either playoff time or the final couple of weeks to try and make up ground in Roto leagues. Either way, the waiver wire may not be […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Late-Season Arms and Bats

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]

Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox - Yesterday's Recap

Welcome to the September 16th edition of Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox. Discussing baseball is as fun as the game itself. It has a way of bringing people together to share different opinions about the sport we all love. A similar action can be done with fantasy baseball where we not only discuss topics […]

DeSean Jackson A Risky Week 2 Start

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a risky start in Week 2 fantasy lineups. In Week 1, Jackson was targeted seven times but only caught two passes, totaling 46 yards. The Rams Defense is great at limiting deep passes, and that's where Jackson's game thrives. There's always the chance that he effectively blows the […]

Steven Matz In Consideration For Start Saturday

New York Mets left-handed pitcher Steven Matz will not work out of the bullpen Wednesday against Philadelphia, primarily due to the fact that he could rejoin the club’s starting rotation this weekend versus Atlanta. Matz has made just one relief appearance since being removed from the starting staff due to the 9.00 ERA that he […]

Corey Clement Could Have A Role In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement could suddenly have a role in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. Although both Miles Sanders (hamstring) and Boston Scott (undisclosed) are expected to play in Week 2, either or both could be limited or on a snap count, leading to opportunity for Clement. Even with the possible […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Takes Mound Wednesday In Return

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (neck) was officially activated off of the injured list Wednesday, paving the way for him to start versus Texas. McCullers has not returned to the form that he had established pre-Tommy John surgery, having compiled a 5.79 ERA through his first eight starts in 2020. He’ll have a […]

James Conner Absent From Wednesday Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Conner left Monday night's win over the New York Giants during the second quarter after injuring his ankle and did not return. Head coach Mike Tomlin did indicate to reporters on Tuesday that they weren't ready to rule Conner out of Week 2's […]

Ken Giles Lands Back On Injured List With Flexor Strain

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitcher Ken Giles (elbow) had a long road to returning in 2020, but he made two appearances before landing back on the injured list Wednesday. Having opened the year in the club’s closer role, Giles has been supplanted by breakout performances from Rafael Dolis, Anthony Bass and Jordan Romano at the back […]

Mitch Garver Sustains Setback In Rehab Effort

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (intercostal) has been working his way back to the active roster at the club’s alternate site, but he sustained a setback Tuesday when he took a foul tip off of his protective cup. The move is expected to delay Garver’s return further, not leaving much time prior to the conclusion […]

Allen Robinson Expects To Remain With Bears This Year

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson said he expects to finish out the year with the team, but he didn't clarify whether he or his agent formally requested a trade after being disappointed with the team's long-term contract offers. ESPN's Dan Graziano and The Chicago Tribune both reported that Robinson, who is in the final […]

Diontae Johnson Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (toe) missed practice on Wednesday, according to reports. Johnson also missed time last week with what appears to be the same ailment, as he was held out of the Wednesday and Thursday sessions before getting a full practice in on Friday. So far, there are no reports that his […]

D.J. Moore Could Bounce Back In Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore could have a bounce-back performance in Week 2 against Tampa Bay. Moore was disappointing in Week 1, catching just four passes for 54 receiving yards, though he was targeted nine times. Moore will be just fine as a high-end WR2 most weeks if he continues to see that kind […]

Jake Arrieta Lands On Injured List With Hamstring Strain

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitcher Jake Arrieta (hamstring) figured that he would need a stint on the injured list due to the right hamstring strain that he sustained Tuesday, and that was confirmed Wednesday when the team placed him on the 10-day IL, recalling righty Connor Brogdon to take his spot on the active roster. The […]

Kansas City Options Jakob Junis To Alternate Site

Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis was expected to be a cornerstone of the club’s starting rotation in 2020, but he was optioned to the club’s alternate site Wednesday, likely ending his year at the big league level, barring injuries. In six starts, Junis went winless with a 6.94 ERA that was burdened by […]

Randy Bullock Good To Go, Geno Atkins Ruled Out

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Randy Bullock (calves) practiced in full on Tuesday and Wednesday and is not on the final injury report for Week 2 against the Browns. Meanwhile, star defensive tackle Geno Atkins (shoulder) missed practice all week and has been ruled out. Bullock made two of his three field-goal tries in Week 1, but […]

Teoscar Hernandez Returns To Active Roster Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ribs) was activated from the injured list Wednesday with the caveat of the club needing to place Derek Fisher (knee) on the injured list in his place. Hernandez is not back among the starting nine versus New York, but fantasy managers can expect to see him as early as Thursday. […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Misses Wednesday Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) missed practice on Wednesday. The veteran wide receiver was joined on the sidelines by Diontae Johnson in the team's first session since their Monday night win over the New York Giants. It is possible that the Steelers are just giving their top receivers some extra rest on a […]

Christian McCaffrey An RB1 Despite Tough Test Ahead

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will be in every fantasy manager's lineup when he takes the field for a Week 2 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In all likelihood, McCaffrey will put up his normal, week-winning numbers. Still, this Tampa Bay run defense is one to fear. They ranked first in the league […]

Jarvis Landry Questionable Against Bengals

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) is listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the divisional-rival Bengals. Landry missed practice on Tuesday but was limited on Wednesday. He played 46 of 67 snaps in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens and caught five of his six targets for 61 yards. […]

Shohei Ohtani Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani was not among the club’s starting nine for Wednesday’s contest against Arizona and southpaw Caleb Smith. Manager Joe Maddon will instead utilize Albert Pujols at the designated hitter slot, as Ohtani has scuffled mightily against lefties this year to the tune of a .503 OPS in 47 plate […]
