Kansas City Royals rookie second baseman Nicky Lopez singled in Sunday's game against the White Sox to continue to pull himself out of a prolonged slump.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: After Kolten Wong's torrid start predictably subsided, fantasy owners largely hopped off the train as quickly as they'd hopped onto it.

Robinson Cano To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse or Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday.

H2H Category Streamers - Week 11 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Robinson Cano Heads Back to Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The Mets gave Cano a few days to rest, but the left quad injury didn't improve at all.
