Deeper Hitter Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Waiver Wire Report for Week 4

We’re rounding around week four of the fantasy baseball season. I know it takes some time to settle in, but there is no time to waste. Fantasy baseball necessitates hyper-vigilance, especially in deeper leagues where the waiver wires are quickly stripped of talent. This weekly article will outline the upcoming schedule, two-start pitchers, and a […]

Ramon Urias Removed From Saturday's Game

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (head) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Urias was taken out after getting hit in the head by a pitch. He was hit by a 96 mph fastball, which is obviously always a scary moment. Luckily, Urias was able to get up and walk off […]

Brandon Lowe Sitting Out On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is not starting on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old will take a seat against left-handed hurler Yusei Kikuchi as the Rays look to start another winning streak. Lowe is off to a hot start, along with most players on Tampa Bay, slashing .324/.444/.757 with five […]

Bryson Stott Seeing Time At The Leadoff Spot

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott is enjoying a great start to the 2023 season, slashing .383/.393/.467 with three runs, four RBI, and three stolen bases. And thanks to his hot streak, manager Rob Thompson has penciled the 25-year-old in at the leadoff spot in four of the last five games. Stott failed to show […]

Ozzie Albies Struggles Versus The Royals

Atlanta Braves shortstop Ozzie Albies couldn't get anything going in Friday's win over the Royals. Albies went 0-for-4 while striking out twice. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old is currently sporting a career-low .214 average. That said, it's still early in the year, so fantasy managers are hoping Albies turns things around.

DJ LeMahieu Expects To Be Full-Go Saturday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (quadriceps), who remains out on Friday against the Minnesota Twins, expects to be full-go on Saturday. LeMahieu doesn't think his quad injury is at all related to his toe/foot injury from last year. The 34-year-old is out for a third straight contest on Friday, but it looks like he'll […]

Luis Arraez, Jazz Chisholm Jr. Out On Friday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (finger) and outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. are not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner. Arraez is dealing with a minor left index finger injury, but this is mostly a rest day for both him and Chisholm against a southpaw on Friday. Arraez […]

Cavan Biggio Steals First Base Of The Season Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio went 1-for-4 with a run scored, his first stolen base of the year and two strikeouts in the team's 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Biggio isn't an everyday player for the Blue Jays, and he won't have much offensive upside hitting at the bottom of […]

Braves Call Up Vaughn Grissom

The Atlanta Braves recalled infielder Vaughn Grissom from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday and officially placed infielder Orlando Arcia (wrist) on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left wrist. With Arcia out for an extended period of time, Grissom is expected to handle the primary shortstop duties after hitting .291 with five home runs, 18 […]

Brandon Lowe Homers Again

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe continued his scorching hot stretch on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with his fifth homer of the season in a 9-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. He added two runs and two RBI to round out the performance. Lowe has now homered in five straight starts, although that streak […]

Edouard Julien Knocks First Hit And Homer Thursday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien had a memorable day at the dish on Thursday, going 2-for-5 with his first career hit and home run in an 11-2 drubbing of the New York Yankees. Interestingly enough, the hit and home run came in separate at-bats but were both in the first inning of this one. […]

Orlando Arcia Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

The Atlanta Braves placed infielder Orlando Arcia (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. Arcia suffered a microfracture in his left wrist and is without a timetable for a return. The 28-year-old was off to a hot start in 2023, slashing .333/.400/.511 with two home runs, seven RBI, and 10 runs scored across 13 games. […]

Dylan Moore Starting Rehab Assignment Soon

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais estimates that utilityman Dylan Moore (core, oblique) will join Triple-A Tacoma for a minor-league rehab assignment on April 18, and he will likely need at least five games before he's activated from the injured list. Moore hasn't aggravated his injury, but he's not quite ready for game action and the […]

Jordan Westburg Heating Up In Triple-A

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Jordan Westburg went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer on Wednesday for Triple-A Norfolk. The 24-year-old had an impressive spring, but was off to a cold start to open his season and has started to turn things around of late. For the season, Westburg is now hitting .268 with three homers and […]

Miguel Rojas Exits Wednesday's Game With Hamstring Cramp

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hamstring) left Wednesday's game against San Francisco due to a cramp in his left hamstring. He returned to the lineup on April 9 after missing a few games with a left groin injury. The 34-year-old is considered day-to-day. Rojas is off to a slow start in 2023, slashing .182/.250/.227 […]

Luis Garcia Returns To Lineup Against Angels

Washington Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia (hamstring) returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Griffin Canning. Garcia started at the keystone and is hitting sixth in the batting order. The 22-year-old infielder hadn't played since leaving last Friday's game early due to hamstring tightness. Michael Chavis moved back […]

Kody Clemens Gets Rare Start Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Kody Clemens will hit ninth and play first base in a rare start Wednesday versus the Marlins and right-hander Edward Cabrera. It's just the third start and appearance on the season for Klemens as the Phillies look to get as many left-handed bats into the starting lineup as possible against Cabrera. An […]

Kyle Farmer Exits Early Following Hit By Pitch Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder Kyle Farmer exited Wednesday's game after being hit in the head by a pitch from White Sox starter Lucas Giolito. It was a scary scene as Farmer went down hard before walking off slowly with a towel over the side of his head. Farmer struck out in his first plate appearance before […]

Kolten Wong Still Near The Bottom Of The Order

Seattle Mariners second baseman Kolten Wong is in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against Marcus Stroman and the Chicago Cubs, batting eighth and playing the keystone. The two-time Gold Glove winner is struggling to begin 2023, slashing .118/.225/.118 with three runs and three RBI in 10 games. Wong started the season at the top of […]
