Houston Astros catcher/first base prospect Jason Schiavone has been promoted to Triple-A for the remainder of the 2026 season. The Astros' sixth-ranked prospect started the year at High-A, powering his way to Double-A after just 35 games (17 home runs, 1.218 OPS). The JMU product saw his batting average dip to just .233 at the […]

Across 213 plate appearances this season, Boston Red Sox infielder Nick Sogard is hitting .267/.364/.406 with four home runs, 16 RBI, and 26 runs scored. The 29-year-old's power upside is limited, as he's posted just a 4.9% barrel rate and a 29.9% hard-hit rate. However, Sogard has kept his strikeout rate under 20% while also […]

Boston Red Sox catcher/first baseman Mickey Gasper has been a revelation in 2026. Across 191 plate appearances this year, the 30-year-old is hitting .270/.384/.491 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, and 23 runs scored. Gasper got off to a relatively slow start to 2026, which led to him spending much of the middle portion of […]

Milwaukee Brewers corner infield prospect Eric Bitonti was promoted to Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday following a wrap on the High-A season. The Brewers' 26th-ranked prospect had a strong campaign at High-A this year, slashing .270/.391/.525 with 25 home runs and 24 steals in 111 games for the Timber Rattlers. The 6-foot-5 slugger has big-time power, […]

Chicago Cubs first base/outfield prospect Josiah Hartshorn parlayed his regular-season success into postseason success, registering an impressive performance in Game 1 of the High-A playoffs on Tuesday, albeit in a losing effort. The South Bend Cubs lost 8-3 to High-A Quad Cities, but Hartshorn went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in the contest. The […]

On the opening night of football, we have an awesome 10-game MLB slate that is going to be forgotten about. While everyone else is grinding NFL bets and DFS lineups, it's now our chance to be sharks in the MLB streets. My model is at its strongest right now, so let's finish the season strong.... […]

Hello, RotoBallers. Another Wednesday means it is time for another mid-week edition of Must-Add Waiver Wire Pickups for fantasy baseball. Even as we inch towards autumn (and the end of the baseball season), I will still be on the hunt for the players whose hot streaks or favorable matchups could give your team a boost […]

Hey RotoBallers, we are in the thick of Week 24, leaving us with only a few weeks left of the fantasy baseball season. There is still some time to make a fantasy baseball championship run and add players down the stretch who could bolster your roster. Today, we are back with more waiver wire advice […]

Across 389 plate appearances in 2026, Baltimore Orioles third baseman/first baseman Coby Mayo is hitting .223/.288/.456 with 21 home runs, 58 RBI, 56 runs scored, and three stolen bases. With his 31.4% strikeout rate, Mayo profiles as a likely batting-average liability for fantasy managers. However, the 24-year-old has also demonstrated high-end power upside this season […]

Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone (elbow) remains sidelined with an elbow injury on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Kauffman Stadium, according to MLB.com. Matthew Lugo is making the start in right field for the Royals and will bat eighth against Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes (elbow), who is making his 2026 debut. This […]

Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras (hamstring) is taking on-field batting practice on Tuesday, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Contreras is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list on Thursday, but it is to be determined whether the Red Sox will send him on a minor-league rehab assignment first. The […]

I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend. What better way to ease the pain of getting back to work and waiting for football to start tomorrow than playing some MLB DFS? We have an awesome slate tonight to help us get some extra money for NFL tomorrow. If you have not had a chance... […]

It's now Week 24! The fantasy baseball playoffs are rolling, so it's ever so important that you're adding the right players off the waiver wire. You don't want someone who looks like a breakout only to be a fakeout the second you insert him in your lineup. Our goal with this series is to help […]

RotoBaller, it is a wonderful Tuesday to hit some dingers. I was able to nail Elly De La Cruz in our last article and was a few feet away from one with Alec Burleson, who had three hits but no homers! We have got all 30 teams in play today, and plenty of choices to... […]

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told Marcos Grunfeld of ElEmergente.com that first baseman Willson Contreras (hamstring) will resume running this week and could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list before Friday's series opener against the Kansas City Royals. It is unclear if Contreras will go on a short minor-league rehab assignment before […]

Baltimore Orioles corner infielder Coby Mayo had the first multi-homer game of his career in Monday's 6-4 win over the visiting Cleveland Guardians at Camden Yards, going 2-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, and two strikeouts. The 24-year-old right-handed slugger is still hitting only .224 on the season after his two-homer performance on Monday, […]

Labor Day weekend has arrived, and there are only three weeks left in the 2026 MLB season.  With not much time remaining, fantasy managers need to plan ahead and add players who could be a potential league winner down the stretch. At RotoBaller HQ, we prioritize who to add off the waiver wire in all […]

Miami Marlins first base prospect Jonathon Long is coming off a two-homer game on Friday night and has had a pretty good statistical spell with the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp since he was traded to the Marlins from the Chicago Cubs. In 24 games in Jacksonville, Long has three homers and 16 RBI to go […]

Happy Labor Day, everyone. I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend. Let's jump-start everyone's day off with some day baseball. We have an awesome six-game slate this afternoon to welcome the holiday. Let's dig in. If you have not had a chance to check out my model, I will refer to it throughout this... […]

San Francisco Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge has been quite productive at the plate recently. He currently owns a 15-game on-base streak, and during that streak, he has posted a .345/.456/.491 slash line with one home run, 12 RBI, 12 walks, and 16 strikeouts. The power has tailed off a bit, but he's getting more […]

Athletics infielder Jeff McNeil has delivered an uptick in production lately, making him an intriguing player to target on the waiver wire in deeper fantasy baseball leagues. Since the start of August, he's 38-for-112 (.339) with four homers, seven doubles, 19 RBI, four walks, 12 strikeouts, and five steals. Those numbers are substantially better than […]

Who doesn't love playoff baseball? I'm sweating several first-round matchups today and planning as if I will advance. Hopefully, my guys come through today, and yours do, too! I want to be setting baseball AND football lineups next week! My weekly hitters, streamers, and fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups column identifies hitters with favorable matchups who can be […]

Hey RotoBallers, Welcome to Week 24! We are already a week into September and a few weeks away from the end of the 2026 MLB regular season. It's time to make a fantasy baseball championship run by adding players who could help down the stretch. We have updated our waiver wire rankings to guide you […]

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! It is the final Sunday of the year, with no NFL football, so let's take advantage and smoke some home runs! I've had some decent success recently, which I love to see as we get closer to the end of the season. It just goes to show the process is there, and... […]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone (elbow) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. According to Joel Goldberg, Caglianone was removed in the third inning due to left elbow soreness. It's unclear when or how Caglianone suffered the injury. He notched an RBI single during his lone […]

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is in the starting lineup on Saturday. The 28-year-old exited Thursday's game with hamstring tightness and missed Friday night's game to allow it to heal. A day later, he is back in the lineup and batting leadoff for the Marlins. He is slotted as the team's designated hitter […]

Cleveland Guardians first base prospect Ralphy Velazquez has been hitting all season in the minors and is coming off an outrageously productive month in August at Triple-A Columbus, making him well worth a late-season stash opportunity in most fantasy leagues. In 90 August at-bats, Velazquez crushed 15 homers with 34 RBI while hitting .356 with […]

Happy Saturday, RotoBallers! We're rolling through the last month of the regular season. It's been very up-and-down, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop hunting value on the board. September can be a very fun month to bet, and we're hoping today's going to be one of those days. In this post, I'll highlight... […]
