Joey Wendle (2B/SS/3B/OF, TB) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Rays utility infielder Joey Wendle was a fantasy darling last year. An unheralded 28-year-old rookie, Wendle slashed .300/.354/.435 with seven home runs and 16 stolen bases. As a speedy middle infielder with multi-position eligibility, it's no surprise he was a frequently added late-round […]

Kevin Newman (2B/SS, PIT) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: An afterthought in almost any fantasy league at the start of the year, Kevin Newman has forced owners to, in the immortal words of Birdman, put some respect on his name. The rookie is hitting .321/.376/.469 with five home runs and five stolen bases […]

Danny Jansen (C, TOR) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: A popular target in drafts this spring, Danny Jansen's performance over the first two months of the season can only be described as horrific, or with words that are impolite to use in mixed company. The rookie didn't homer until May 17, and […]

Starlin Castro Collects Three Hits Against Nats

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro went 3-for-5 with a double during Thursday's loss to the Washington Nationals.

Whit Merrifield On Fire Before ASB

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield seems to be really excited about his first All-Star Game. Merrifield has recorded multiple hits in every game since getting the nod, including doubles in three of his last five games. He also stole his 12th base of the season on Wednesday against Cleveland.

On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Rays placed second baseman Brandon Lowe (right shin bruise) on the 10-day Injured List, retroactive to July 3. He'll be first eligible to return on Saturday, July 13.

Scooter Gennett Leaves Game With Injury

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett was forced from Wednesday's game in the fourth inning with left groin tightness. He dove for a ball in the defensive half of the second inning which could have been the cause for the injury. Gennett has missed all but five games this season with a right groin tear, […]

Colin Moran (2B/3B, PIT) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Colin Moran is on a mini breakout this season, after disappointing in his rookie season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Since taking over as the Pirates’ primary leadoff hitter on May 28, Kevin Newman has become a huge piece of the Pirates offense. In that period, he’s slashing .331/.363/.512 with five home runs and 22 runs batted in. Through Saturday June 29, Newman’s on […]

Brandon Lowe is Out Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Lowe fouled a ball off his leg on Tuesday, but the X-rays came back negative. He is considered day-to-day, so Lowe could sit out for a few games. Michael Brosseau will play second base and […]

Rays Send Andrew Velazquez to Indians

Infielder Andrew Velazquez was traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Cleveland Indians Wednesday in exchange for international bonus pool money. Velazquez is a 4-for-22 hitter in his MLB career and also just .267/.331/.390 in the minors, so this is an organizational depth move. Cleveland designated pitcher Chih-Wei Hu, who has not appeared in […]

Hernan Perez Outrighted to Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers infielder/outfielder Hernan Perez, who was designated for assignment on June 28, cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent to Triple-A San Antonio. Perez showed promise in 2016 with a .272 batting average, 13 home runs, and 34 stolen bases, but has not approached similar value since and was hitting just .235/.277/.383 in 160 plate […]

Willie Calhoun Could See Second Base Time

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun has done some work at second base in recent days, and could also start doing some third base work as well. This development would seem to be a damning statement on incumbent second baseman Rougned Odor, who has hit a dreadful .189/.259/.369 in 2019. Calhoun is unlikely to be any […]
