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 […]

Ketel Marte Hits 482-Foot Jack

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/infielder Ketel Marte hit his 14th home run of the season Sunday, a 482-foot bomb leading off the bottom of the first inning.

Dominic Smith A Late Scratch Sunday

The New York Mets had Dominic Smith penciled in to bat second and play left field against Merrill Kelly and the D'backs Sunday but scratched him with a sore thumb. It's unclear when he hurt his thumb, but the team stated he will be available off of the bench. Aaron Altherr is taking over in […]

Jay Bruce To Phillies Made Official

The Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners made the Jay Bruce deal official Sunday as the M's will send the 33-year-old veteran to the NL.

Willie Calhoun Begins Baseball Activities

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun began some baseball activities on Saturday but is still expected to be out for another couple of weeks. He's been shelved for the last 10 days with a strain in his left quad which was unfortunate after such a terrific start in a Rangers uniform. Calhoun batted .435 in his […]

Joey Gallo Placed on Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Gallo tweaked his left oblique during Saturday's contest. The team is unsure how much time Gallo is going to miss. He'll likely be out at least a few weeks, but possibly more. Delino DeShields has been recalled from Triple-A […]

Dexter Fowler Sits Out

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The switch hitting outfielder has been average with the bat this season and will get the day off to rest. Jose Martinez will bat fifth and play right field versus lefty Cole Hamels. Martinez has […]

Albert Almora Jr. is Out on Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Almora will get a routine day off, so fantasy owners don't have to worry about an injury. Jason Heyward will cover center field and bat sixth versus righty Adam Wainwright. Heyward hasn't done much […]

Gregory Polanco is Out on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Polanco is in a rough slump right now, so the Pirates will give him some time to rest. Melky Cabrera will draw the start in right field and bat sixth versus righty Zach Davies. Cabrera has […]

Lorenzo Cain is Out on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is just a routine day off for the veteran outfielder, so he'll be back at it soon. Ben Gamel will bat leadoff and play center field against righty Jordan Lyles. Gamel is in a favorable […]

Nick Markakis Sitting Against Lefty

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The Braves will give Markakis the day off against the left-handed starter. Switch hitting Johan Camargo will play right field and bat seventh versus lefty Matthew Boyd. Camargo won't have much fantasy value against Boyd in […]

Tommy Pham Remains Out on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (leg) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This marks the third straight game that Pham has missed due to a left leg cramp. Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup again as well. Austin Meadows will bat leadoff and play […]

Max Kepler Out on Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This is a routine day off for Kepler, but he's likely out because the team is facing a left-handed starter. Marwin Gonzalez will draw the start in right field and bat sixth versus lefty Ryan […]

Adam Eaton is Getting a Breather on Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This is a routine day off for Eaton to get some rest. Gerardo Parra will bat second and cover right field versus righty Sonny Gray on Sunday. Parra doesn't have strong numbers this season, but has […]

Charlie Blackmon Feeling Better

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon told reporters Saturday that he's gaining confidence in his injured calf and is already feeling good while hitting and throwing. Blackmon injured the calf on May 24, but the team will likely take their time in getting the star outfielder back out there since they're on a winning streak without […]

David Dahl Has Another Multi-Hit Game

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl popped three hits on Saturday against Toronto, giving him his third multi-hit game in the last four contests. Dahl was the only member of the team to record multiple hits on a day when Toronto's pitching did pretty well overall, and the recent run has raised Dahl's overall batting average […]

Raimel Tapia Hits Little League Home Run

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia extended his hitting streak on Saturday by knocking a hard grounder through to right-center field. What should have been a single with a chance of becoming a double due to Tapia's speed instead turned into a Little League home run when center fielder Jonathan Davis allowed it to scoot under […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Thanks in part to a ridiculous amount of injuries to players for the Pittsburgh Pirates, 24-year old rookie Bryan Reynolds has gotten an extremely healthy 116 AB.

Kyle Tucker (OF, HOU) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kyle Tucker is one of the most eagerly anticipated outfielders in all of baseball, which feels a bit unfair coming within an organization with an extremely recent World Series title.

Christin Stewart's Three Hits Tie Season High

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart had one of his best games of the season in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Braves. The 25-year-old left fielder went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI. He also struck out twice, which has been a problem for the second-year pro this year, as his strikeout […]

Swihart was finally getting some playing time after a tumultuous couple of months for the C/OF. He has suffered a strained right oblique, and the severity of the injury at this point is unclear.
