Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

It feels like the baseball season has just started, but we are reaching the conclusion. Alas, that is life in a 60-game season. For fantasy purposes that means it's either playoff time or the final couple of weeks to try and make up ground in Roto leagues. Either way, the waiver wire may not be […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Late-Season Arms and Bats

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]

Hanser Alberto Held Hitless Tuesday, Continues Cold Streak

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto continued his cold September in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Braves, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Alberto started the season off well but has struggled in September, hitting just .189 with no extra-base hits. Fantasy managers should bench Alberto if they can afford it as he is not producing […]

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong was scratched from the club’s starting nine Tuesday against Milwaukee left-hander Brett Anderson, allowing Matt Carpenter to enter the lineup. Tommy Edman will shift over to the keystone and move up to the leadoff spot, thereby increasing his DFS appeal. Wong’s production has dipped thus far in 2020, […]

Jose Altuve Activated From Injured List

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is back among the starting nine for Tuesday’s contest versus the Rangers and right-hander Kyle Cody. Altuve has been sidelined since Sept. 3 due to a sprained right knee, with his return -- and the relative health of Houston’s infield group -- limiting the fantasy intrigue for Abraham Toro […]

Elvis Andrus, Rougned Odor Face Competition For Playing Time

The Texas Rangers announced their intentions Tuesday to play younger players and focus on their future heading into 2021. With that in mind, president of baseball operations and general manager Jon Daniels mentioned that shortstop Elvis Andrus and second baseman Rougned Odor -- both under contract through the 2022 season -- would face competition for […]

Giants-Mariners Contests Postponed Tuesday, Wednesday

The clubs were scheduled for a two-game set, which will now be […]

Yankees Option Mike Ford On Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Mike Ford was optioned to the team’s alternate site on Tuesday. Ford never really got going at the plate this season with an ugly .496 OPS through 29 games, and it’s not as though he’d been heating up lately, as he hadn’t recorded a hit in over two weeks despite […]

Isan Diaz Placed On The Injured List

Miami Marlins second baseman Isan Diaz was placed on the 60-day injured list with a left groin injury, ending his season.

Marwin Gonzalez Scratched From Monday’s Lineup

Minnesota Twins utilityman Marwin Gonzalez has been scratched from Monday’s starting nine against the White Sox due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. Gonzalez was set to hold down the keystone Monday, but he now joins Miguel Sano and Eddie Rosario on the bench with ailments. In 43 games this year, Gonzalez has scuffled mightily to the […]

Isan Diaz Departs Monday’s Contest Early

Miami Marlins second baseman Isan Diaz left Monday’s doubleheader against Philadelphia early due to left groin tightness.
