New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has emerged as a key piece of his team's lineup in 2026, hitting .266/.325/.505 with 14 home runs, 41 RBI, 31 runs scored, and one stolen base across 243 plate appearances. The 38-year-old has cooled off in recent weeks after a red-hot June, as he's currently hitless in […]

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson has been on a home run binge of late, and that continued on Monday night in the team's 7-6, 10-inning loss to the division-rival New York Mets at Truist Park. Olson went 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. The 32-year-old […]

Cleveland Guardians first base/outfield prospect Ralphy Velazquez is adjusting nicely to two minor league levels this season, combining to hit .296 between Double-A Akron and Triple-A Columbus with 10 homers and 42 RBI. Velazquez, a former first round pick, is the top prospect in the Guardians system and could be looking at a promotion before […]

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford has shown power numbers at Triple-A Syracuse but has not yet proven to be a consistent bat at the Triple-A level. He has 14 homers and 41 RBI but is hitting just .193 with a .660 OPS. He has added seven steals, showing he can run a […]

With the All-Star break less than a week away, we're hitting an important part of the schedule. MLB teams will be tinkering with their rosters at the deadline, and fantasy managers will be tinkering with their rosters in anticipation of the playoffs. You'll want to be ahead of the curve by finding as many diamonds […]

It's been rather slow lately on the prospect promotion front, with only a couple of promotions worth mentioning over the last couple of weeks. We're still waiting for Charlie Condon and Joshua Baez to mash their way into the Majors, and Kade Anderson remains thoroughly blocked in Seattle. While we wait for them, we got […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more fantasy baseball waiver wire advice. Week 15 is officially here, and we are one week away from the MLB All-Star break.

Happy Tuesday, RotoBaller family! Studs aplenty will be taking the mound tonight, likely for the last time before the All-Star break. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about them because some of the worst pitchers in baseball will also be on the bump tonight, and we can pick on them all we want.  There are... […]

We have a nine-game slate this Tuesday in MLB, and what a fun one it is. We have some elite pitching options to choose from, as well as some great value plays on the bump tonight. We also have a few stacks that stand out, one of which I think will be underowned on tonight's... […]

Athletics outfielder/first baseman Tyler Soderstrom (hip) remains shut down from any baseball activities, per MLB.com. Soderstrom was placed on the 10-Day injured list in late June due to a left-hip impingement that appears likely to sideline him through at least the All-Star break. Across 335 plate appearances in 2026 before the injury, Soderstrom hit .242/.343/.460 […]

The Kansas City Royals expect first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) to begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Omaha. Pasquantino is on the verge of rejoining the Royals after having surgery in the middle of June to fix a fractured hamate bone in his right hand. Barring a setback during his rehab assignment, […]

Chicago White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) traveled to Charlotte on Monday and will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday, per Scott Merkin on MLB.com. Murakami has been sidelined since late May due to a hamstring injury, but it appears he has a chance to return to the big leagues before the […]

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Condon is mashing at Triple-A Albuquerque this season, and with his prospect pedigree, it could be a matter of time before he forces his way to Coors Field. Condon, who can play first base or the outfield, is hitting .294 this season with Albuquerque, with 20 homers and 60 RBI to […]

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that first baseman Spencer Horwitz (hamstring) is progressing well in Florida, but he will be sidelined until after the All-Star break next week, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Colin Beazley. However, Horwitz is still expected to come off the 10-day injured list in July, with the hope that […]

San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers went 2-for-5 at the plate with two solo home runs and two RBI on Sunday in the 7-6 loss to the division-rival Colorado Rockies at Coors Field to extend his current hitting streak to nine games. Both of his homers came off starter Tanner Gordon. Devers is locked […]

We have a small seven-game slate on both sites tonight, and it is extremely challenging. We have a very tough pitching slate, with few great options. On the offensive side, we have a spot that should garner a ton of ownership. Let's dig in and see what makes the most sense tonight. If you have... […]

Chicago White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) was able to run the bases without any issues for the second straight day ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Barring any setbacks, Murakami is expected to head to Triple-A Charlotte to begin a minor league rehab assignment early next week. The lefty slugger has […]

Minnesota Twins first baseman Josh Bell has now gone deep four times in his last five games, which will inevitably draw attention to him on the waiver wire in fantasy baseball leagues from managers seeking a power surge.

Kansas City Royals catcher/first baseman Salvador Perez (elbow) is serving as the team's designated hitter and is batting sixth versus the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola in the series finale at Kauffman Stadium, according to MLB.com. A sore elbow has kept Perez out for each of the last two games, but he'll return […]

Well, I was 0-for-4 on home run picks yesterday (I knew I should have written up Kyle Stowers), but we won't count the Luis Arraez one since Colorado switched pitchers on us. Still, my DFS cash lineup was absolute fire, as the kids say, with contributions all across the board. If you were in our... […]
