Mitch Moreland Potent at the Plate on Sunday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland had a great game on Sunday in a 9-3 win against the Houston Astros.

Max Muncy (1B/3B/OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Dodgers are starting to pick up steam, and most of that momentum has to do with bench bats playing above expectations. Max Muncy is one of those players, and to be honest, has forced himself into a starting job until he […]

Cody Bellinger Benched Again Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger is sitting again on Sunday against the Rockies. Bellinger sat on Friday night against the lefty Tyler Anderson, but this time is sitting against the right handed Chad Bettis which is a reason for concern. He is batting .098 over the last two weeks and just .149 over […]

Waiver Wire Watch List - Week 10 Free Agents

It’s hard to believe we’re through two full calendar months of the season, but here we are. The contenders have begun to separate themselves from the pretenders in both real life and fantasy, but with two thirds of the season left to play there’s still time to make up ground. This week’s theme is certainly […]

Joey Gallo Out Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo is out of the lineup on Sunday against the Angels. Gallo can't hit lefties so Shin-Soo Choo is playing in left field, Adrian Beltre at DH, and Isiah Kiner-Falafa at third. Gallo is batting just .205 on the season and remains pretty much just a source of power whenever the […]

Buster Posey Returns To Sunday’s Lineup Versus Phillies

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will return to the Giants lineup Sunday after sitting out Saturday with an elbow contusion. The injury was never considered serious and Posey will bat second. Posey remains one of the best catchers in all fantasy formats despite his low home run total.

Bryce Harper, Matt Adams Out of Nationals Lineup Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper and first baseman Matt Adams are out of Sunday's lineup against the Braves reports Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com.

Sweeny Murti of WFAN reports that the series finale between the Yankees and Orioles originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The Cut List (Week 10) Time to Let Go?

Trey Mancini Stuck In Frigid Slump

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini continued to be mired in a slump on Saturday, going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts. The 26-year-old is hitting a lowly .127 with just two extra-base hits in his last 15 games. After breaking out as a solid fantasy option in 2017, Mancini has been disappointing for […]

Hanley Ramirez Being Looked At By Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing first baseman Hanley Ramirez, although it is unclear how much interest there actually is. Ramirez was recently released by the Red Sox even though he had a solid start to the season. Baltimore is currently deploying Chris Davis as their primary first baseman and he […]

Orioles-Yankees Game Facing Rain Delay Saturday

MLB.com writer Bryan Hoch reports that the Saturday game between the Orioles and the Yankees will be delayed due to the threat of inclement weather.

After exiting Friday’s game in the second inning, San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt was rushed to the hospital to be evaluated for appendicitis.

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson went 3-for-4 with a single, a walk, a pair of home runs, and five RBI in Friday's 16-0 beatdown of the Royals.

Whit Merrifield Closes In On More Positions

Kansas City Royals second baseman/right fielder/center fielder/first baseman Whit Merrifield had a solid night on Friday as he went 3-for-3 while the team was getting blown out by the Athletics. He also did it as the team’s center fielder, bringing him one start away from qualification at that position in most fantasy leagues. Saturday, he’s […]

Hunter Dozier Out On Saturday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Hunter Dozier is getting a day off on Saturday against the Athletics. Dozier’s been heating up recently, hitting safely in six of his last seven games, and he hit his first career home run on Wednesday.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 10

One man's trash is another man's treasure. This is what I tell myself when I'm bidding $6 for Ryan Braun in an Ottoneu league where I need OF help or adding Zack Godley to a pitching staff that has underperformed. These players aren't without warts and could never turn back to top form this season, […]
