Michael Chavis Wins AL Rookie Of The Month

Boston Red Sox second baseman Michael Chavis has taken home American League Rookie of the Month honors for the month of May. The 23-year-old rookie had looked as if he may be starting to get figured out by big league pitchers before his two-hit performance against the Yankees on Sunday. Overall, Chavis is slashing an […]

Cavan Biggio (2B/SS, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Toronto Blue Jays rookie infielder Cavan Biggio has one of the more intriguing minor league profiles of any recent call-up. He had a massive power breakout in 2018, hitting 26 home runs in 132 games at Double-A after hitting just 11 home runs in […]

Brendan Rodgers (SS, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Coors Field effect has yet to grace the bat of Colorado Rockies rookie shortstop Brendan Rodgers and, because of this, he’s still widely available in fantasy leagues. In his first 13 Major League games, Rodgers has a slash line of .268/.318/.317 with no home […]

In the latest edition of Statcast Studs and Duds for offense, we're going to shorten the range of outcomes. I will look at leaders in hard-hit balls over the past month only. Also, rather than simply isolating Hard% as a metric, I am looking at the total leaders in batted ball events that qualify as […]

Ryan Mountcastle Hits Three Home Runs

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI on Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk. With the strong performance, Mountcastle is now hitting .328 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI. Mountcastle recently missed a few games with a wrist injury, but that didn’t appear to bother him Sunday. The […]

David Fletcher (2B/3B/SS/OF, LAA) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of All Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into 2019, David Fletcher was only on the radar in the deepest of leagues. With a high-contact, low-power profile, Fletcher produced little of consequence in 2018; posting a triple-slash of .275/.316/.363 with an .088 ISO and a.297 wOBA that produced […]

Luis Arraez Optioned

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez was reportedly optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, with a corresponding move to be announced Tuesday. Arraez was hitting .375/.467/.583 in 30 plate appearances over 10 games in his first taste of MLB action. However, the Twins lineup is surprisingly loaded, leaving little room for Arraez to break in. He […]

Dee Gordon, Ryon Healy Both Hit In Cage

Seattle Mariners infielders Dee Gordon and Ryon Healy both hit in the batting cage on Sunday as they work their way back from the IL. Gordon has been sidelined with a wrist injury since May 9 while Healy has been out of action since May 21 with a back injury. The team is hoping the […]

Garrett Hampson Recalled From Triple-A

The Colorado Rockies have recalled second baseman Garrett Hampson from Triple-A prior to Sunday's tilt versus the Blue Jays. The 24-year-old has struggled in sporadic playing time with the big league club this year hitting just .194 with one homer and one stolen base. There doesn't appear to be much room for consistent playing time […]

Yoan Moncada Out With Leg Soreness

Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada has been scratched from Sunday's lineup with what manager Rick Renteria is calling "leg soreness." The injury doesn't appear to be serious, and the club is likely taking a precautionary measure with their young star bat. Moncada is amidst a breakout year after much-awaited anticipation. He's batting .283 with […]

Luis Urias (2B, SD) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: In 72 AB at the MLB level, consensus top-30 prospect Luis Urias has been slow to accelerate with just two home runs and a steal to go with a less-than pedestrian .167/.256/.278 slash. That would definitely be a bummer, that is if he wasn't […]

San Diego Padres second baseman Ian Kinsler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Miami Marlins. The dinger was the veteran’s seventh of the season to go along with 31 runs-plus-RBI.

May is coming to an end, but luckily, buy and sell windows are still open on a certain set of players discussed in today's piece. There is nothing worse than seeing one of your guys underperform, but if that is the case, eight times out-of-ten it is most prudent to hold on until they at […]

Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 10

Welcome to the RotoBaller waiver wire column which falls in-line with most fantasy “who should I pick up?” articles with a skew towards points leagues.
