We are coming up on Week 24 of the fantasy baseball season. With the calendar flipped to September, the fantasy baseball playoffs push to the forefront of our brains.

Gleyber Torres Remains Out On Saturday

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (back) remains out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the Houston Astros. The 26-year-old was scratched on Friday due to a back issue.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (illness) is back at second base and is hitting fifth for the Rockies on Friday against left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays.

Ronny Mauricio Making MLB Debut Against Seattle

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio is making his major-league debut on Friday against the visiting Seattle Mariners, playing second base and batting in the nine-hole. Batting ninth isn't great news for the 22-year-old's DFS value in his first MLB game, but he should play pretty regularly down the stretch for the out-of-contention Mets. […]

Do These Prospects Matter in Fantasy Baseball (Week 23) Jasson Dominguez, Xavier Edwards, Jud Fabian, Jared Jones, more

Jake Cronenworth Likely To Avoid Surgery

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth (wrist) likely won't need surgery to repair a right wrist fracture that he sustained late last week on a hit by pitch. Still, the 29-year-old will be down for a bit, and there's a chance he won't return from the injured list by the end of the season. It's […]
