Daniel Murphy Provides Late Heroics

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy has gotten back into his groove after missing time at the start of the season with a thumb injury, and Monday's game was a perfect example of the kind of boost he provides to the team. With the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Murphy did […]

Yordan Alvarez Debuts... and It's Everything We Hoped For

Six weeks ago, we heralded the arrival of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Two weeks ago, we lamented the call-ups of Derek Fisher and Myles Straw. All the while, Yordan Alvarez waited patiently in the minors, ripping the cover off the ball. And now, the time has come. Alvarez is up with the big club and announced […]

Matt Adams Strains Left Oblique

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams exited Monday's game with a left oblique strain. Manager Davey Martinez is "a little concerned." Obliques are tricky and an IL stint for Adams is quite possible. That would open up more playing time for a hot Howie Kendrick, who would become worth a temporary pickup in all leagues […]

Anthony Rizzo Picks Up Three Hits

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Monday versus the Colorado Rockies. Rizzo has been on a tear ever since his slow start to the season. The slugger is now hitting .284 with 17 RBI and 47 RBI. Rizzo is having a strong season and remains […]

Ji-Man Choi Homers Monday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI on Monday in the Rays win over the Athletics. Choi has been hot lately, hitting .386 with three homers in the past two weeks. The contact has been there all season, as evidenced by a batting average of .283, but […]

Dodgers Being Cautious With David Freese

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that first baseman David Freese (knee) is dealing with some knee soreness and the team is being cautious with the 36-year-old. Freese wasn't in the lineup on Monday but was available off the bench. As a utility corner infielder for the Blue this year, Freese is hitting a […]

MLB Draft Prospect Stock Watch

The 2019 Amateur Draft has come and gone, with fantasy owners looking to the next wave of impact talent. Depending on league format, some of these names might be ready to contribute from the start, but others will be added in drafts this winter. For those readers who did not have the time to watch […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

This point of the season is a rough one for reinforcements on the waiver wire. Pretty much everyone is still trying to win, and with early breakouts long since snapped up and injuries taking their toll as usual, it can be tough to find help that doesn't require a trade partner. Tough - but not […]

Edwin Encarnacion Walks The Parrot Twice

Brandon Belt A Late Scratch With Illness

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt was a late scratch for Sunday's tilt against Walker Buehler and the Dodgers. He's dealing with a stomach illness as Evan Longoria will take his spot in the lineup, and Pablo Sandoval slides across the diamond to start at first. Belt has quietly put up a decent year […]

Mitch Moreland Improving, Steve Pearce Cleared

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) is improving and doing treadmill work after landing back on the injured list on Saturday. First baseman Steve Pearce (back) has been cleared to begin baseball activities on Monday. Moreland has been the much more fantasy relevant first baseman than Pearce in 2019, hitting .225 but with […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 11 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: One of the bright spots in the Arizona Diamondbacks batting lineup this year has been the play of first baseman Christian Walker.

The Cut List (Week 11) - Time to Let Go?

It's June 9, an exciting date to some, because it means another Cut List. (Were you thinking some other reason?) Last week's changeup, which involved cut suggestions in three different league sizes--10, 12, and 14/15 teams--continues. Stats are through Friday, June 7. New weekly reminders: Recommendations in one league size obviously apply to smaller leagues. […]

Kevin Cron Homers In Second Straight Game

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie first baseman Kevin Cron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's game, his second home run in as many games. The Diamondbacks have mostly used Cron as a pinch hitter since he made his MLB debut on May 24, which is disappointing given the fact that Cron was mashing in […]

Yuli Gurriel Posting Only .675 OPS This Season

Houston Astros infielder Yuli Gurriel will start and hit cleanup Saturday against the Orioles. Gurriel has been struggling at the plate lately and is slashing an abysmal .234/.239/.328 over his last 64 at-bats. Gurriel has been a vital asset for the Astros recently, playing multiple positions while the team juggles injuries to key players like […]
