Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 22

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the injured list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox - Yesterday's Recap

Marwin Gonzalez Leaves Early Tuesday

Minnesota Twins utility man Marwin Gonzalez (abdominal) left the game early on Tuesday with an abdominal issue. Gonzalez helped out those that started him before leaving, though, hitting a solo homer in his three plate appearances. The do-it-all utility man is now hitting .263/.323/.420 with 15 home runs, 48 runs and 48 RBI on the […]

Ketel Marte Injures Himself On Home Run

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (leg) injured himself after a game-tying home run against the Giants on Tuesday and had to be removed from the game. Marte had the solo homer and a single in his three plate appearances before he was forced from the contest. The impressive D-back is hitting .323/.385/.578 with 28 homers, […]

Addison Russell Hits Home Run

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday versus the Mets. Russell had been 2-for-14 since being recalled recently, but enjoyed facing the Mets Tuesday. Despite the nice stat line, Russell doesn’t play enough or hit well enough to be considered outside of DFS.

Starlin Castro Gets Day Off on Tuesday

Miami Marlins infielder Starlin Castro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The veteran infielder will get a rare off day here to rest. Neil Walker will cover third base and bat cleanup versus righty Luis Castillo. Walker has decent upside with the bat, but won't have much […]

Scooter Gennett Released by Giants

San Francisco Giants second baseman Scooter Gennett has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Gennett is hitting .226/.245/.323 this season and hasn't shown much promise with the bat. He was sidelined by injuries to begin the season and then just never seemed right once he came back. Mauricio Dubon has been recalled and is […]

Niko Goodrum Out 10-14 Days

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) was diagnosed with an adductor strain after visiting with core muscle specialist Dr. William Meyers, and he's expected to be out 10 to 14 days, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. That pretty much guarantees that Goodrum will no longer be of use in single-year fantasy formats the rest of […]

Lourdes Gurriel Getting Closer

The Toronto Blue Jays expect infielder Lourdes Gurriel (quadriceps) to play in rehab games by early next week. The talented 25-year-old has been out since Aug. 10 and should be able to return early next month. He has been attractive in all fantasy leagues while hitting .279/.331/.548 with 19 home runs, 50 runs, 47 RBI […]

Jose Altuve Slugging .833 Over Last Seven Games

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has multiple hits in each of his last three starts heading into the team's matchup against the Rays at Minute Maid Park. Altuve is once again on another hot streak, going 10-for-24 (.415) over his last seven games and is slugging .833 during that span. It has been a […]

Scott Kingery Out Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery (stomach) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday after leaving the game on early with a gastrointestinal issue. Kingery is day-to-day and could return as soon as Wednesday. Sean Rodriguez, who hit a walk-off homer on Monday night, is starting at third base and is hitting seventh against Pirates […]

Giants Calling Up Mauricio Dubon

The San Francisco Giants are calling up infield prospect Mauricio Dubon from the minors on Tuesday, according to sources. San Fran's No. 8 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, came over from the Brewers in the trade that involved pitcher Drew Pomeranz in July. The 25-year-old from Honduras has hit an impressive .302/.345/.477 with 20 home runs, […]

Mets Hoping To Have Robinson Cano Back This Year

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said that the club is hoping that second baseman Robinson Cano (hamstring) will "be able to join us well before the season ends." Cano has been hitting indoors and out, taking ground balls and running. The veteran infielder suffered a partially torn left hamstring on Aug. 5, […]

Ryan McMahon Walks Off Braves

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon played the hero on Monday against the Braves when he punched the 1-1 pitch over the right field wall in the bottom of the ninth to win the game. McMahon's shot ended the Braves' eight-game win streak and injected a little bit of good cheer into a clubhouse that was […]

Freddy Galvis Has Big Night on Monday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Freddy Galvis went 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in a 6-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday. Galvis took Miami starter Pablo Lopez deep in the fifth inning, giving him 22 dingers on the season. Overall, Galvis is hitting .280 with 64 runs, 65 RBI, and four steals […]

Overlooked Veterans On the Waiver Wire

It is the time of year that we need every roster spot filled at all times. We need nothing more than counting stats, lots of them. In searching for guys to fill the roster, some fantasy owners look just at a player's name to determine whether they should be on their roster. This can be […]

Scott Kingery Expected To Be Fine

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said that infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery's (stomach) abdominal issue that forced him from the game on Monday is gastrointestinal and not muscular, so he's expected to be fine. That means we're likely to see Kingery back in the lineup on Tuesday. He's been useful in most mixed […]

Scott Kingery Leaves Early Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery (abdominal) left the game early on Monday with abdominal soreness. Kingery had a single in his two plate appearances and is now hitting .273/.336/.499 with 15 home runs, 51 runs, 43 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 390 plate appearances on the year. He's been a useful power/speed utility man […]

Cesar Hernandez Out Monday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup on Monday. Scott Kingery will man the keystone and will hit seventh against Pirates starter Joe Musgrove. Kingery has been very valuable to the Phils this year while filling a number of positions, but he's been cold of late and makes for an […]

Kolten Wong Remains Out Monday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (toe) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday after fouling a ball off his toe on Saturday. Wong's X-rays were negative, so he's considered day-to-day for now. Tommy Edman is at second base on Monday and is hitting second against Brewers starter Gio Gonzalez. Edman has a […]
