Joey Lucchesi Gets Nod Against D-Backs On Monday

San Diego Padres starter Joey Lucchesi will start the series finale Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lucchesi had a shaky camp as he battled for a rotation spot but showed enough to earn the No. 4 spot. The 27-year-old has been a workhorse for the Padres since his 2018 debut, posting a 4.14 ERA and […]

Carlos Santana Scores Twice In Win

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana went 0-for-2 with two runs and two walks in Sunday's win against the Royals. Santana has yet to record a hit over eight at-bats to begin the season, but he's drawn four walks. The 34-year-old had a career-best .281 batting average, 34 home runs and 93 RBI last season […]

Damian Lillard Misses Sunday's Scrimmage

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (foot) did not suit up for Sunday's scrimmage against the Toronto Raptors. He is dealing with left foot inflammation, but the X-rays came back negative. The organization is obviously going to be careful especially during meaningless exhibition games. Head coach Terry Stotts is hopeful that Lillard will be ready […]

Glenn Robinson III Doesn't Return Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) was unable to finish Sunday's scrimmage versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. He suffered a left hip pointer injury doing a couple of collisions during Sunday's contest. He walked back to the locker room, but returned to the bench later in the game. The Sixers are likely just being […]

De'Aaron Fox Feels Good

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) mentioned that he is feeling good after playing in Saturday's scrimmage. He has been battling a minor left ankle issue, but it appears he's finally getting over it. Fox played 19 minutes on Saturday and was moving around well while on the floor. The organization is hopeful that Fox […]

Jonathan Isaac Takes The Court Monday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is expected to suit up for Monday's scrimmage against the Denver Nuggets. "As always, we will take a very cautious approach, and his playing time will be placed under a very limited minute restriction as he gets re-acclimated to the NBA game," said Magic president Jeff Weltman. Isaac has […]

Dario Saric Unable To Finish Scrimmage

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) was unable to return after suffering an injury during the second quarter of Sunday's scrimmage. He suffered a left ankle injury and limped to the bench under his own power. The team decided to hold him out after halftime, but that is likely just precautionary. Hopefully this is just […]

Fred VanVleet Exits Early During Scrimmage

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) limped to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's scrimmage. He suffered a left knee injury while attempting to take a charge. The Raptors have not given much information since then, but they really have no incentive to rush VanVleet back out there. They likely kept him […]

"Now Or Never" For Le'Veon Bell

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell could be entering his final year with the team. With no guaranteed cash on the table for the 28-year-old after the 2020 campaign, the Jets would save nearly $10 million by parting ways with him before next season. The former Steeler had one of his worst seasons in […]

Eric Hosmer Stays Hot With First Round-Tripper

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer reached base three times on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, launching a home run and walking twice. After driving in six on Opening Night, Hosmer stayed hot, smacking a solo job to left center in the third inning. With a knack for hot starts, the 30-year-old is 4-for-6 […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Got In Extra Work Before Camp

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire reported to training camp on Saturday along with quarterback Patrick Mahomes to begin official on-field training activities. However, the duo is already familiar with each other, as they both worked out together during the offseason. The rookie has plenty of hype entering the season, and despite not having […]

Kirby Yates Takes One On The Chin

San Diego Padres closer Kirby Yates allowed two earned runs and suffered a loss Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The All-Star entered a tie game in the ninth and yielded two knocks and two walks to squander the Friars chance to stay undefeated. He was yanked after exhausting 28 pitches and managing just two outs. […]

Garrett Richards Posts Bagel In Season Debut

San Diego Padres starter Garrett Richards pitched well in a no-decision Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, completing five frames of shutout ball. A sleeper in fantasy circles, Richards fanned six while issuing three free passes and a double. He was a bit wild, locating only 44 of 73 pitches for strikes. After appearing in just […]

Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]

Khamzat Chimaev Could Fight Again In August

Welterweight Khamzat Chimaev could fight once again relatively soon, potentially taking on his next opponent as early as UFC 252. The 26-year-old has been on a roll as of late by winning two fights over a 10-day span, with his latest victory coming at the expense of Rhys McKee via first-round knockout at UFC Fight […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 2

Whether your league has a week one that runs for eleven days, or a week two that starts on Monday, there are plenty of arms on the waiver wire just waiting to help your team contend for a title. Most of these players won’t single-handedly win a week but they are all capable of going […]

Marwin Gonzalez Hits Solo Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder/infielder Marwin Gonzalez hit his first home run of the 2020 season in a 14-2 rout of the Chicago White Sox. Gonzalez, like the Twins, had a quiet day offensively on Saturday, going 0-for-3 with a walk. Sunday was an offensive explosion for the team and Gonzalez' home run in the ninth inning […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

Only three days’ worth of games separate last week’s waiver wire from this week’s, but there are still new players worth picking up this week. In addition to players making their first appearance on this list, some players still aren’t close as highly rostered as they should be after last week. With that in mind, […]

Jesse Ronson Makes Good On Second Chance In UFC

Jesse Ronson was given a second chance in the UFC, and he did not disappoint this time around. Six years after losing a split decision to Kevin Lee, Ronson returned to the Octagon on a mission, winning by first-round submission against Nicolas Dalby. In less than three minutes of action, Ronson landed 30 significant strikes. […]

Hitter Streamers for Fantasy Baseball Week 2

It is finally time for fantasy baseball, which means it is also time to start scouring the waiver wires for hitting streamers! This first edition of the column is for July 27 through August 2. I will offer a couple of worthy streamers for each position (catcher, corner infield, middle infield, outfield) based on the […]

Jorge Polanco Delivers Two Hits, Scores Twice

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and two runs scored in a blowout victory over the Chicago White Sox. Polanco is batting .308 with four hits and four runs scored in two games so far this year. He hasn't been slugging much yet, though that will surely come if […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 2 (7/27 - 8/2)

Welcome to RotoBaller's first installment of two-start pitcher streamers for 2020! Successful streaming pitchers can literally be a game-changer when it comes to fantasy baseball. When it comes to daily leagues, two-start streams aren't that important, since you can stream every day. But when it comes to weekly leagues, two-start streams become exponentially more important. […]

Eric Lauer Activated Prior To Sunday's Game

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Eric Lauer was activated from the COVID-19 related injured list before Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field, and he immediately made an impact after a short start by Freddy Peralta. Entering during a 5-0 ballgame with one out in the fourth, Lauer escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out Kyle Schwarber. He would […]

Luis Arraez Records Two More Hits

Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez is well on his way to his goal of hitting .400 for the season. After getting the day off on Saturday, Arraez cracked two more singles and notched another RBI in five at-bats in a 14-2 Twins victory. It is only two games, but the 23-year-old is hitting .444 […]

Mike Grundy Unable To Get The Win With Gritty Performance

Mike Grundy dropped his first UFC bout after his stellar knockout in his debut against Nad Narimani. Grundy was successful in the wrestling department, landing six takedowns on 15 attempts. The strike count needs to come up though if he plans to be a future fantasy success, only landing 20 significant strikes in 15-minutes of […]
