AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 25

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Brandon Lowe With Decisive Hit Sunday Versus Oakland

Tampa Bay Rays middle infielder Brandon Lowe provided the eventual game-winner Sunday versus the Athletics. In the seventh inning, Lowe would come up with two runners on-base. He would slash a triple to drive them both in to make the score 5-0. Oakland would later hit a grand slam so Lowe's blow ended up being […]

Brock Holt Hits Two-Run Blast On Sunday

Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt was 1-for-4 at the plate with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New York Mets. Holt now has five homers on the season, to go along with 41 RBI, 33 runs scored, seven stolen bases, and a .262 average. His fantasy value is severely capped […]

David Fletcher Could Miss Rest Of Season

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (hamstring) will be evaluated on Monday after leaving the game early on Sunday with a left hamstring strain, but manager Mike Scioscia isn't optimistic about Fletcher's chances of returning this year with limited games left.

Logan Forsythe Notches Two-Hit Game

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe went 2-for-5 with one RBI in his team's 10-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The two-hit game gives Forsythe a .237 batting average, .613 OPS, two homers, 34 runs, 25 RBI, and two steals on the season. He got off to a hot start when he […]

The Cut List (Week 25): Time to Let Go?
