Fantasy Baseball Frauds? Buy/Sell On Standout Performers Including Trevor Story, Tyler Mahle, Carson Kelly, Andrew Abbott, more

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our weekly fantasy baseball frauds and buys/sells article. Every Monday, we'll analyze which players are currently on the hottest streak. It could be a hitter who is coming off a very strong week at the plate, or a pitcher who has strung together some nice outings in a row. We'll then determine if fantasy managers […]

Roman Anthony Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony has reportedly been dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, which has limited Boston's top prospect (MLB No. 2) to designated hitter duties since April 11. Perhaps this has conveniently helped him focus on hitting after starting the year 6-for-34 (.176) through April 10, as the left-handed slugger […]

Brandon Marsh Nearing Rehab Assignment

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (hamstring) ran the bases on Tuesday and feels back to 100 percent. He'll have a rest day on Wednesday and will likely begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday, according to manager Rob Thomson. This is a quick turnaround for the 27-year-old, as he was only officially placed on the […]

Chandler Simpson Back In Leadoff Spot On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Chandler Simpson is starting in center field and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against the hosting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. The Rays' No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was called up from the minors to make his major-league debut on Saturday against the New York Yankees, and he's […]

Daulton Varsho Could Make Season Debut This Weekend

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (shoulder) is joining the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, according to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. The hope is that he will play five of the remaining six days this week, with a potential return to the big leagues this weekend in New York against the […]

Anthony Santander Sitting On Tuesday Amidst Slump

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander will start on the bench in Tuesday's contest against the hosting Houston Astros. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will serve as the DH and bat second, while Will Wagner will draw into the lineup at first base and hit seventh against Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco. Tuesday will be Santander's first […]

Jake McCarthy Sent To Triple-A

The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned center fielder Jake McCarthy to Triple-A Reno during their day off on Monday. Due to McCarthy's slow start to the 2025 season at the plate, Alek Thomas is now the team's go-to option in center field. The 27-year-old former first-rounder will surely be back up with the D-backs this year, but […]

Tyler Soderstrom To See Time In Left Field And As Designated Hitter

Athletics general manager David Forst said that with first base prospect Nick Kurtz joining the big-league squad this week, first baseman Tyler Soderstrom will get some time in left field and as the designated hitter. Brent Rooker will also be part of the left field/DH mix going forward as the A's make room for Kurtz, […]

Giancarlo Stanton Takes Outdoor Batting Practice On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) took outdoor batting practice on Tuesday for the first time since receiving multiple rounds of platelet-rich plasma injections in his ailing elbows, according to NJ Advance Media's Brendan Kuty. It's progress for the 35-year-old veteran right-handed slugger, but he still has a ways to go and will […]

Zac Veen Getting The Day Off With Lefty On The Mound

Colorado Rockies rookie outfielder Zac Veen is taking a seat on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium with a left-hander on the mound.

Brenton Doyle Still Away From The Team

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (personal), who revealed on Instagram that he and his wife lost their unborn baby, remains on the bereavement list and is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the hosting Kansas City Royals. Mickey Moniak will continue to patrol center field for the Rockies while hitting seventh against Royals […]

3 Impact Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Nick Kurtz, Chandler Simpson, Roman Anthony

Stashing top prospects is really an underrated part of fantasy baseball. Although many fantasy managers choose to just stick with their guys, stashing the right prospects could be a league-winning move for your fantasy team. Just look at everyone who stashed Paul Skenes, James Wood, and Rhett Lowder last season. As a result, all fantasy managers should be stashing […]

Brandon Nimmo Sitting On Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo will take a seat on Tuesday evening when the Mets continue a series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets are scheduled to face Philadelphia southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Nimmo has made just three starts against left-handed pitching through the early part of the campaign. Instead, the Mets will give Jose […]

Heston Kjerstad Back In Action Against Nationals

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad (elbow) is starting in left field and is batting sixth on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Mitchell Parker at Nationals Park.

Lane Thomas To Be Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas will be placed on the 10-day IL with a bone bruise in his right wrist. The 29-year-old missed a week earlier this month after getting hit by a pitch and was 2-for-15 since his return to the lineup on April 15. The right-handed hitter was off to a poor start to the […]

Daz Cameron Swinging A Hot Bat With Nashville

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Daz Cameron has enjoyed an impressive start to his tenure in the Brewers system. The Brewers acquired Cameron from Baltimore in exchange for cash considerations earlier in April. Cameron was sent to Triple-A Nashville shortly after the transaction. Through his first seven games with his new club, the 28-year-old has posted an […]

Anthony Santander Suffering Through Slow Start To The Season

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the team's shutout loss to the Astros on Monday night.

Houston Astros first base/outfield prospect Zach Dezenzo went 2-for-3 with two runs, one RBI, and a walk during their 7-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. In the fifth inning, Dezenzo would hit an RBI double to right field, which scored outfield prospect Cam Smith. He would then come around and score on a Jose […]

Jackson Chourio Singles In Loss To Giants

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 1-for-4 with a single in a 5-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Chourio is now hitting .260 with five homers, 17 runs, 19 RBI, and two steals across 100 at-bats. He has been in a bit of a slump at the plate of late, hitting just […]

Champ or Chump: Agustin Ramirez and Chandler Simpson Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

Prospect callups are frequently among the most exciting events in fantasy baseball, and MLB clubs have started bringing up exciting names. Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez went 20/20 with an advanced plate approach on the farm in 2024, and he's a catcher. Sort of. His defense is atrocious, and that could be a good thing for […]

Justin Crawford Continues To Show Well At Triple-A

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 2-for-5 at the plate for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, raising his batting average to .293 on the young season.

Asbel Gonzalez Running Wild At Single-A

Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Asbel Gonzalez stole his minor league-leading 20th base on Saturday for Single-A Columbia, having played in only 14 games thus far. Not only that, the 6-foot-2 Venezuelan is 22-for-55 (.400) during that time and has more walks than strikeouts (7:4 BB:K). The drawback here is that not one of his […]

Gustavo Campero Leads Minors In Hits After Four-Hit Day

Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Gustavo Campero went 4-for-4 at the plate for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, which included hitting his first home run of the season. The four hits put him in a tie for first place on the minor league leaderboard for most hits so far in 2025 with 29 of them, […]

James Triantos Dealing With Leg Tightness

Chicago Cubs infield prospect James Triantos was removed from last Thursday's Triple-A Iowa game due to tightness in his leg and has missed both games since. Sunday's game was postponed and the team had a day off on Monday, so, after two days off, it will be telling as to the severity of the injury […]

When Will Shane McClanahan, Ezequiel Tovar, Jackson Merrill Return? Fantasy Baseball Injury Update

One of the hardest things about fantasy baseball is determining what to do with players currently on the injured list. In some leagues, there are only one to two IL slots to stash injured players. In others, there might be three or four IL spots to roster those injured players. If you are in a […]
