Jackson Holliday: Fantasy Baseball Champ or Chump?

Well-regarded prospects are breaking camp with their clubs more frequently these days, which is why Wyatt Langford started with the Rangers and Jackson Merrill got a trip to South Korea. However, the fantasy community is greedy. We want every top prospect to debut on Opening Day. As such, many fantasy managers were disappointed when the […]

Fantasy Baseball Frauds? Standout Performers Through Week 3

While some teams have played nearly 20 games already, we still have a long way to go in the baseball season. A lot of the stats that we have seen so far still need to be taken with a grain of salt. Examining production in the early going isn’t just the key to working the […]

Adael Amador Off To A Slow Start In Double-A

Colorado Rockies top prospect Adael Amador is hitting just .105 (2-for-19) over six games at Double-A Hartford. On the bright side, the second baseman has walked seven times compared to just three strikeouts, and he's swiped four bases. The keen eye at the plate is nothing new either, with 160 walks over the course of […]

Brendan Rodgers Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an illness.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouardo Julien is staying at second base and batting ninth on Monday against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Baltimore Orioles.

Detroit Tigers second base prospect Jace Jung went 2-for-5 with three RBI for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. Jung's homer was his third in nine games.

Jose Altuve Lifts Astros With Two Homers

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve continued his torrid start to the season on Sunday, smacking a pair of homers in an 8-5 win over the Texas Rangers. Altuve went 3-for-5 on the day, adding two runs and two RBI as well as a stolen base. He is now up to a .382 AVG to […]

Xander Bogaerts Out Of Lineup Saturday

San Diego Padres second baseman Xander Bogaerts is out of the lineup on Saturday. There's no current indication that this is anything more than a rest day for the 31-year-old. A day off may not be a bad thing for Bogaerts, who's started out sluggish this season with just a .219 batting average and only […]

Bryson Stott, Brandon Marsh Resting Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott and outfielder Brandon Marsh are not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

As is the norm with Saturdays anymore, the slate is all over the place. Thankfully, we have a big day of baseball with the main slate at a more conventional time. This is usually only reserved for Sundays, but I'm partial to day baseball on Saturdays as well. I'm not sure if that will help […]

Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters Watch and Underachievers, Overachievers (Week 3)

As I often do heading into the weekend, I like to take a look around the league and see who is showing signs of some meaningful trends.

League Winners or Hot Starts? Four Fantasy Baseball Hitters Who Are Raking

April baseball is kind of strange. The best hitters on the planet look lost at the plate, the standings are wonky, and quite frankly, nothing makes sense. It takes a bit for teams to shed their spring training skins and adapt to the regular season. Not many fans like it simply because it feels uncompetitive. […]
