Luis Arraez Notches Two Hits In All-Star Game

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez saw two at-bats during Tuesday's All-Star game and recorded a pair of singles while driving in one run. That's nothing new for the 26-year-old, who's sporting a league-leading .383 batting average. Arraez doesn't do much else in terms of fantasy value, as he's gone deep just three times and […]

Xavier Edwards Tearing Up Triple-A

Miami Marlins infield prospect Xavier Edwards was acquired from the Rays last November, but his contributions to the big-league club have been limited due to a crowded roster. As a result, Edwards has spent most of 2023 playing at (and tearing up) the Triple-A level. The switch-hitter has developed a tremendous approach at the plate, […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We're heading into Week 16 of the fantasy baseball season.

It's imperative to monitor the top fantasy baseball prospects who have turned heads […]

Xavier Edwards - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Xavier Edwards, 2B, Miami Marlins ANALYSIS: Remember him? While Edwards didn't make the top-25 this week, I do believe he's someone to keep on your radar at least. Despite having a trio of home runs over the last month, Edwards doesn't provide much in the way of power, but he could provide a solid […]

Luisangel Acuna Impressing At Double-A

Texas Rangers middle-infield prospect Luisangel Acuna, who is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the organization's No. 3 prospect, has really impressed so far in 72 games (343 plate appearances) at Double-A Frisco this year. Acuna is currently slashing .315/.371/.447 with an .818 OPS, six home runs, 19 doubles, two triples, 45 RBI, 34 stolen bases […]

Brayan Rocchio Extends Hitting Streak To Nine Games

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect Brayan Rocchio hit safely again on Sunday, securing a nine-game hitting streak heading into the All-Star break. The switch-hitter is now slashing .289/.381/.414 through 76 games with Triple-A Columbus this season. Rocchio's 50-grade power has not been fully realized at the Triple-A level, going yard just twice thus far this season […]

Michael Busch - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Michael Busch, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers ANALYSIS: Is the third time going to be the charm with Michael Busch? The former first-round pick has already had two separate stints with the Dodgers this season, but couldn't secure regular playing time in either of them. With the Dodgers recently sending Miguel Vargas down to Triple-A after struggling […]

Jonathan India Heads Into All-Star Break Cold

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India did hit two home runs on the Fourth of July last week, but he's heading into this week's All-Star break with a .200 average (7-for-35) with three long balls, eight RBI, five runs scored and nine strikeouts in nine games so far in the month of July. Despite the […]

Sean Casey To Serve As Yankees' New Hitting Coach

Former Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sean Casey will be the New York Yankees' next hitting coach, according to sources. It's expected that Casey will fill the role for the rest of the season so he can better decide if it's a position that he would like to remain in moving forward. The 49-year-old has been […]

Brewers Option Jahmai Jones To Triple-A

The Milwaukee Brewers optioned infielder Jahmai Jones to Triple-A Nashville on Monday. In his first four games with the Brew Crew in the last week, Jones went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in five plate appearances, but he had made only one start. The Brewers will send […]

Jose Altuve Still Needs More Time

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (oblique) will not return directly following the All-Star break, according to general manager Dana Brown. The expectation is that Yordan Alvarez (oblique) and Jose Urquidy (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignments right after the break. Brown said Altuve is healing quickly, but is roughly a week behind them in […]

Astros Select Brice Matthews With 28th Pick

The Houston Astros have selected shortstop Brice Matthews with the 28th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. A Nebraska product, Matthews was ranked as the 57th-best draft prospect by MLB Pipeline, but the Astros evidently like what they see in the 21-year-old and perhaps could try to sign him below slot value. Matthews runs […]

Miguel Vargas Optioned To Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Vargas has been optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. The 23-year-old has been slumping at the plate, but this still comes as a bit of a surprise. On the season, Vargas has hit just .195/.305/.367 with seven homers, 32 RBI and three stolen in 70 games. Vargas hit well […]

Jorge Polanco Almost Ready For Rehab Assignment

According to Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey, second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is nearly ready for a rehab assignment. While there isn't a definitive date set, Falvey believes Polanco may head out "around next weekend." The veteran, who has battled nagging hamstring injuries this season, recently began baseball activities. However, although things appear […]

Ha-Seong Kim Back In The Lineup On Sunday

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (toe) is back in the lineup on Sunday, starting at second base and batting leadoff against Max Scherzer and the New York Mets.

Brendan Donovan Not In The Lineup On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan (arm) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Donovan has been dealing with a sore arm for the last few weeks, forcing him to be in and out of the lineup. He's had trouble throwing the ball so he's just been at DH […]
