It's time to revisit the current player rankings this week, with a focus on infielders this time. If you drafted Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Manny Machado this season, my heart goes out to you. And you won't even find Jose Ramirez in the top ten right now, as he's out for at least another month […]

It's now OFFICIALLY summer, RotoBallers, even though the weather in some parts of the country has already gotten there.

Washington Nationals infielder Curtis Mead has seen increased playing time in the nation's capital in the first half of the 2026 season, giving him some deep-league fantasy value for his power stroke from the right side of the plate.
