2019 MLB Amateur Draft Preview

The 2019 Amateur Draft is upon us, and owners are either more excited to get more prospects or to finally get away from the creepy MLB Network nursery ad. While there is still some time for changes in terms of how the draft plays out, there are a few trends that owners should be looking […]

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.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 10

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.

Jose Ramirez Hits .245 In May, Now Hitting .213 On Season

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jose Ramirez followed up his atrocious month of April with a slightly less atrocious May. The consensus top-10 pick going into the year now has just four home runs and 17 RBI through 56 games. Despite his struggles, there is still a good amount to like about his peripheral numbers. He […]

Brendan Rodgers is Out on Friday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Rodgers is hitting .303/.361/.364 since being called up, so he's not sitting out due to poor performance. Manager Bud Black feels that Ryan McMahon is a better option for Friday's contest. McMahon will bat sixth […]

Justin Smoak Out, Cavan Biggio Returns

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak is out of the lineup on Friday with no designated hitter in a National League park. Second baseman Cavan Biggio (illness) returns after missing two games and will hit sixth against Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez. Rowdy Tellez is at first and is batting third at Coors Field. […]

Cincinnati Reds second baseman/outfielder Derek Dietrich is getting the day off Friday.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) and shortstop Jordy Mercer (quadriceps) will both head to Dallas on Monday to visit with Dr. Daniel E. Cooper. Mercer was getting close to a return but suffered a setback on his rehab assignment this week. There is no timetable for either player's return at this point. Fantasy […]

Scooter Gennett Taking Batting Practice, Ground Balls

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) is taking batting practice and ground balls on Friday. Gennett has been out all season long and will likely need a lengthy rehab assignment before returning, so he's not exactly close to a return yet. The 29-year-old has hit a combined 40 home runs the last two seasons […]

Ronald Guzman, Rougned Odor Out Friday Against Lefty

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman and second baseman Rougned Odor are not in the starting lineup on Friday against Royals left-handed starting pitcher Danny Duffy.

Brian Dozier Out Again Friday

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier is out of the lineup for the second straight game on Friday. Howie Kendrick is batting fifth and playing second base against Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle. With the veteran Kendrick hitting .328/.367/.595 with nine home runs, 24 runs, 33 RBI and a steal in 131 at-bats, it's hard […]

Michael Chavis, Christian Vazquez Sitting Friday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Michael Chavis and catcher Christian Vazquez are not in the starting lineup on Friday. Eduardo Nunez is starting at the keystone and batting seventh, while Sandy Leon is hitting ninth and handling catching duties against Yankees left-handed starting pitcher J.A. Happ. Nunez is hitting .250 with two RBI in 24 […]
