Former Houston Astros infielder Niko Goodrum has been released. The 30-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week and went unclaimed on waivers.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 21

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Saturdays are still for baseball all-day if you ask me, but I suppose if you are a big college football fan then you are probably pretty pumped about kick-off weekend, too. My PSU Nittany Lions already won on Thursday night, so I have no interest in college football today, but I always have an interest […]

Jorge Polanco Missing Another Game Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) is still out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Polanco remains day-to-day, but this will be his fifth straight game starting on the bench. If he misses the rest of the weekend, there's a good chance he'll be placed on the injured list. […]

Brendan Rodgers Back In The Lineup Friday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (mouth) is back at second base and is hitting second on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luis Cessa.

Jorge Polanco Out Again Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox.
