Odubel Herrera Sitting Out on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It's unclear why Herrera is not in the lineup, but it is most likely just a rest day for him. Roman Quinn will draw the start in center field and bat seventh against lefty Drew […]

Phillies Call Up Dylan Cozens

The Philadelphia Phillies recalled outfielder Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. Cozens had just two hits (one homer) in 18 at-bats (.111) with the Phils earlier this year, although he was hitting very well on the farm. He could split time with Nick Williams in the outfield, but Cozens probably won't see enough […]

Indians Acquire Oscar Mercado

The Cleveland Indians acquired outfield prospect Oscar Mercado from the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday in exchange for outfielders Conner Capel and Jhon Torres, according to a source. Mercado was ranked as St. Louis' No. 10 prospect. He was hitting .285 with eight home runs, 42 RBI and 31 steals in 100 games with Triple-A […]

Brian Goodwin Placed On DL

The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Brian Goodwin (groin) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a left groin strain. He will be eligible to return on Aug. 8. In corresponding moves, the team called up first baseman Ryan O'Hearn from Triple-A Omaha and moved infielder Cheslor Cuthbert to the 60-day DL. It's a […]

Mookie Betts Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts has not been traded. It is just a regular rest day for the Boston Red Sox superstar. Betts has continued his torrid pace for the majority of the season. He has a .339 batting average to go along with 25 home runs, 56 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. He […]

Twins Get Three Players In Return For Brian Dozier

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers less than an hour before the trade deadline on Tuesday. In return for the veteran, the Dodgers sent second baseman Logan Forsythe, pitching prospect Devin Smeltzer, and outfielder Luke Raley. Forsythe is expected help at second base this season for the Twins, […]

Austin Meadows, Tyler Glasnow Main Pieces in Chris Archer Trade

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows and starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow appear to be the main two pieces in the Pirates deal to acquire Chris Archer. It appears there will be a third piece involved but that player is still to be decided. The fantasy value of both Meadows and Glasnow will largely depend on the […]

Austin Meadows And Tyler Glasnow Could Be Traded

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows and pitcher Tyler Glasnow could both be part of the Chris Archer trade. Archer's reputation meant it was always going to take a lot for anyone to acquire him. Meadows and Glasnow would be an amazing return for the Rays, who already have some really fun young pieces in their […]

Austin Romine Sitting, Kyle Higashioka Starting Tuesday

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine will sit on Tuesday for the start of the team's series against the Baltimore Orioles. Backup catcher Kyle Higashioka will get the start behind the plate in Romine's stead. Neil Walker is once again in the lineup, this time as designated hitter. Brett Gardner, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Hicks […]

Mariners Acquiring Cameron Maybin

The Seattle Mariners are acquiring outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unclear what the return was for Miami. Maybin hasn't been great but should represent an upgrade in center field over Guillermo Heredia for Seattle. Maybin was hitting .251 with three home runs, 20 RBI and eight […]

Mariners Could Land Cameron Maybin

The Miami Marlins appear close to trading outfielder Cameron Maybin, and the Mariners could be his destination. Maybin has been playing much better of late with regular playing time and is hitting .251 on the year with three home runs, 20 RBI and eight steals. With Dee Gordon now at second base, Maybin would theoretically […]

Adam Jones Won't Be Traded

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones will not be traded at the deadline on Tuesday. The veteran outfielder may have evoked his full no-trade clause to remain in Baltimore. Even on the worst team in baseball in 2018, Jones has been fantasy relevant with a .285 average, 11 home runs and 44 RBI. He would've been […]

Mets Seem Unlikely To Make Deadline Deal

New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler, outfielder Jose Bautista and catcher Devin Mesoraco are unlikely to be traded before Tuesday's deadline, according to Jon Heyman of Fancred. Heyman reported that the Mets have not been getting what they want in offers for Wheeler. He also noted Bautista has a "limited" market and Mesoraco has […]

Derek Dietrich and Justin Bour Being Discussed in Trade Talks

Miami Marlins first baseman Justin Bour and outfielder Derek Dietrich are being discussed with other teams as the trade deadline approaches, according to Jon Heyman of Fancred. The Marlins seem to be shopping just about everyone except for J.T. Realmuto. Heyman reported talks for Realmuto are "nonexistent." Dietrich provides teams with a left-handed bat that […]

Andrew McCutchen Not Expected To Be Dealt

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen is not expected to be traded at the deadline on Tuesday, according to a team official. The Yankees and Phillies have some fleeting interest, but apparently it's not enough to get a deal done by the deadline. The veteran outfielder is batting .258 with 10 home runs, 43 RBI […]

Indians Acquire Leonys Martin

The Cleveland Indians acquired outfielder Leonys Martin from the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for shortstop Willi Castro, according to sources. Martin has been a decent leadoff guy for Detroit this year, slashing .251/.321/.409 with nine home runs, 29 RBI and seven stolen bases. He becomes a little more intriguing in deep mixed leagues […]

Bryce Harper Won't Be Traded

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said that outfielder Bryce Harper won't be traded. "Bryce is not going anywhere. I believe in this team," Rizzo said. The Nats had deals "lined up" for multiple players, including Harper, but the sense is that ownership pulled the plug late Monday night, according to The Washington Post's Jorge […]

Yankees Looking At Jose Bautista

The New York Yankees are looking for a right-handed bat and have spoke to the Mets about outfielder Jose Bautista. The Mets won't just give him away, though, and trades involving the Mets and Yankees are always tricky, so it doesn't seem likely to happen. Joey Bats is batting only .216 overall, but he still […]

Tyler O'Neill Called Up on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill has been called up to take Tommy Pham's spot on the active roster. Pham was traded earlier on Tuesday, but luckily the Cardinals have plenty of outfield depth. O'Neill is hitting .227/.255/.455 with three home runs and seven knocked in through 19 games with the Cards this season. O'Neill […]

Billy Hamilton Could Be A Fit For Indians

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton is a potential fit for the Cleveland Indians, who are seeking a center fielder. The Tribe have asked about Hamilton in the past. Hamilton is hitting just .227/.302/.310 with three home runs, 21 RBI and 22 stolen bases. He'd be an upgrade to Cleveland's outfield, though, at least defensively. A […]

Jose Martinez Should Be Fine to Play on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez was scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday. Martinez hit into a fielder's choice during his pinch-hit appearance on Monday. It sounds like Martinez is battling a sore ankle, but he should be able to return very soon. However, Martinez has been mentioned as a trade candidate, so […]

Rays Acquire Outfielder Tommy Pham

The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the St. Louis Cardinals. In exchange the Cardinals will receive left-handed pitcher Genesis Cabrera, outfielder Justin Williams and righty pitcher Roel Ramirez. Pham had a phenomenal 2017 campaign, but is hitting just .248/.331/.399 in 2018. The Cardinals have multiple outfielders that could make a case […]

Yankees Interested In Andrew McCutchen

The New York Yankees are on the hunt for an outfielder, and it seems like a former National League MVP is on the radar. According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Yanks have "soft interest" in the San Francisco Giants' Andrew McCutchen. The Yankees have been linked to multiple outfielders since the injuries to Clint Frazier […]

Matt Wisler, Lucas Sims, Preston Tucker Join Reds

The Cincinnati Reds traded outfielder Adam Duvall to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for pitchers Matt Wisler and Lucas Sims and outfielder Preston Tucker. Both Wisler and Sims posted ugly numbers in their limited time in the Majors this season and are currently at Triple-A Gwinnett. They are still relatively young but are not worth […]

Yankees Reached Out To Marlins About Cameron Maybin

The New York Yankees have reached out to the Miami Marlins in regards to veteran outfielder Cameron Maybin. With just hours left before the trade deadline, the Yankees are expected to add another bat to their arsenal. They've been linked to catchers and outfielders, but with injuries to Aaron Judge (wrist) and Clint Frazier (migraines), […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 18

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 […]

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Left-Handed xwOBA Splits (Week 18)

A left-handed pitcher takes the mound, a left-handed batter hits the bench. We see it all too often, especially in the later innings when managers love to play the same-handed split matchups in the bullpen. Your star players (does Bryce Harper still count?) won't be affected, but many others will. Not all left-handed batters suffer […]

Hot Prospects to Watch Week 18: Beeks, Phillips, Spanberger

Today is the trade deadline and it seems safe to assume we'll be seeing more prospects landing on new teams by the end of the day. Last week we took a look at some top prospects that could potentially have a path to the majors open up by trade or that could themselves be traded […]

Potential Risers/Fallers After the MLB Trade Deadline

The MLB Trade Deadline is one of the most exciting parts of the baseball season. Contenders get to bolster their rosters for the playoff push while rebuilding clubs get to add potential studs to their growing farm system. With players such Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Mike Moustakas and many others already moved, teams around the […]
