David Fletcher Misses Saturday's Game

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (abdominal) was scratched ahead of Saturday's Cactus League matchup.

That being said, Fletcher should be fine in a few days, […]

Spring Training Standouts To Consider Drafting for 2023 Fantasy Baseball

We have to be extremely, extremely careful when making judgments based on Spring training data. Every single year, you will see plenty of players dominate in spring and then end up being complete duds in the regular season, and vice-versa. That makes it tough to genuinely and honestly write a piece like this, so I […]

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Adam Frazier is making the start in right field and is batting eighth on Friday in the team's Grapefruit League game against right-hander Yoendrys Gomez and the New York Yankees.

Nick Gordon (2B/OF, MIN) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 300 CURRENT ADP: ~320 overall ANALYSIS: The Twins have been active this offseason, which has thrown Gordon's playing time into question at times. He's currently still holding on to the DH job, according to Roster Resource, and that assumes that Alex Kirilloff is healthy and Joey Gallo is able to keep a job as […]

Jorge Polanco To Miss Beginning Of Season

After missing the last month of the 2022 season, Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) is expected to start the season on the injured list. Polanco was termed with left knee tendentious that sidelined him for a considerable amount of time last season. He hasn't played in spring training yet, and he's doubtful to […]

Jose Altuve No Baseball Activities For Two Months

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (thumb) underwent surgery on Wednesday for his broken thumb. It will be two months before Altuve can even begin baseball activities, so it'll probably be June before he can return to Houston’s lineup. Once Altuve is back to playing, he will be one of the top hitters in the […]

Curtis Mead Optioned To Minor League Camp

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Curtis Mead was recently optioned by to their minor league camp. In nine spring training games, the Rays' No.2 prospect went 5-for-22 with two home runs.

Whit Merrifield (2B/OF, TOR) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 175 CURRENT ADP: ~190 overall ANALYSIS: I think a lot of drafters just view Merrifield as a guy at the end of his rope. He's 34 now and had his first bad fantasy season in 2022 when he played 139 games, hit 11 homers, stole 16 bases, and hit just […]

Christopher Morel (2B/OF, CHC) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 245 CURRENT ADP: ~260 overall ANALYSIS: Chicago Cubs utilityman Christopher Morel exceeded expectations during his rookie campaign in 2022.
