Exit Velocity Risers/Fallers - Statcast Hitter Studs and Duds (Week 13)

There's no need to explain exit velocity here, as you are likely well aware of its function and description by now. Followers of this weekly column will remember the Week 7 iteration where we first examined exit velocity leaders. We know that hitters who make hard contact are more apt to collect extra-base hits and it […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

It's hard to believe that it's already June 24th, but then again it feels like we experience this point with every amateur and professional sport. Whether the season lasts 16, 35, 82, or 162 games, there comes the time every year where we transition from, "It's still pretty early" to, "There's actually not that much […]

The Cut List (Week 13) - Time to Let Go?

At this point in the season, nearly half over, you should pretty much know what you have on your fantasy team. (Unless you have Jose Ramirez.) Chances are, if you still have a certain frustrating player on your roster -- especially one you drafted -- you've had plenty of chances to remove them but have […]

Buy or Sell: Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 13

Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon. Most of the earlier editions of this recurring buy or sell article have included several universally owned players whose values have been manipulated enough by early season performances. Unfortunately, as we get deeper into the year, […]

Hanser Alberto Hits Two Doubles Sunday, Stays Hot

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto continued his strong June in Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Mariners, going 2-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI. The 26-year-old has been one of the O's most consistent hitters and now has a .338 batting average with three extra-base hits and seven RBI in June. Alberto doesn't provide […]

Kevin Newman Extends Hit-Streak to 12 Games

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman went 2-for-6 with a pair of RBI and the game-winning walk in the 11th inning of the Pirates 11-10 victory against the Padres on Sunday. Newman has been a consistent starter for the Pirates and has rewarded their faith with a 12-game hit streak. He doesn't provide much in the […]

Keston Hiura (2B, MIL) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are you in any of the three-quarters of leagues across the Yahoo universe where Keston Hiura isn't rostered?

Kevin Newman (2B/SS, PIT) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Newman has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games. He's logged multiple hits in six of those contests, and the only game where he didn't get a knock he was 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter. The rookie has taken command of […]

Jose Ramirez Has Productive Game

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 and scored two runs in the 8-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday afternoon. The highly-drafted Ramirez has been among the biggest disappoints in fantasy baseball so far this season, as he's hitting .211/.299/.320 with five homers, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored. He is 18-for-20 in […]

Rockies Recall Garrett Hampson, Option Jeff Hoffman

The Colorado Rockies recalled infielder Garrett Hampson in Sunday and sent pitcher Jeff Hoffman down to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Hampson has struggled with the big league club batting just .186 with a homer and six RBI in 33 games. He hasn't particularly shined at Triple-A either after receiving plenty of hype during the […]

Ketel Marte Remains Out Of Lineup Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/second baseman Ketel Marte is once again absent from the lineup after injuring his groin in Friday night's game. He told manager Torey Lovullo that he was ready to go, but he decided to give the 25-year-old an extra day's rest. It's a wise move for the club as he's in the middle […]

Brandon Lowe, Kevin Kiermaier Out Versus Lefty Sunday

The Tampa Bay Rays are resting outfielder Kevin Kiermaier and second baseman Brandon Lowe on Sunday versus Athletics left-hander Brett Anderson. Kiermaier is actually hitting better off southpaws this season (.328) but will take the well-earned rest day regardless. Guillermo Heredia will start in center field while Mike Brosseau will make his major league debut […]

Jonathan Schoop Remains Out on Sunday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (ankle) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals.
