Week 12 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. […]

Nick Williams Makes Most Of Home Start

While Rhys Hoskins did the majority of damage on offense for the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday, a fellow outfielder also came up big in what would ultimately be an easy win. Nick Williams, who batted fifth and started in right field, recorded two hits, first with a solo home run in the second inning. The game […]

Rhys Hoskins Powers Phillies Past Rockies

With Vince Velasquez absolutely dealing on the mound Thursday afternoon, the Philadelphia Phillies offense pounded Colorado’s pitching as they coasted to victory. The star of the show on offense was Rhys Hoskins, who recorded a game-high three hits. His first came in the game’s opening inning, as he opened the scoring with a solo home […]

Aaron Hicks Kicks Off Yankees Comeback

With the New York Yankees trailing by two runs in the fifth inning of Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, they needed a spark to ignite a comeback, and it came from one of their outfielders. It wasn’t who you’d imagine, however, as Aaron Hicks drilled a solo home run, cutting the deficit in […]

Ender Inciarte Drives In Two Runs As Braves Beat Padres

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte is useful in fantasy baseball for one reason and one reason only: his legs. He's got an MLB-leading 20 steals and we're barely in mid-June. He did add some value on Thursday night, hitting a solo homer and driving in another run as Atlanta beat San Diego. Still, he's your […]

Chris Shaw Is Showing Power In Triple-A

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Chris Shaw is having a nice season for Triple-A Sacramento. Shaw converted from first base to outfield this offseason. Shaw is hitting .262, which is below his career average of .278, but he does have 11 home runs and 33 RBI. Shaw is currently blocked in the Giants outfield and […]

Brett Phillips Starting To Show Power

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Brett Phillips hit his second home run in three games on Wednesday. Phillips has been in Triple-A Colorado Springs, as there is no room for him in the Brewers outfield. Phillips has hit double-digit home runs throughout his professional career and has four in 2018. Phillips has seen a dip in […]

Charlie Tilson Picks Up Two Hits On Thursday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Charlie Tilson went 2-for-3 Thursday versus the Indians. Tilson has been playing regularly for the White Sox. Tilson does not offer much fantasy value outside of speed. Tilson can be avoided in all but deep AL-only leagues for now.

J.B. Shuck Has Four Hits in Marlins Loss Thursday

Nearly two months after his last multi-hit performance, Miami Marlins outfielder J.B. Shuck had four hits in the Marlins loss on Thursday against the Giants. Shuck finished 4-for-7 with two doubles and a run scored. While it's nice to see him hitting again, Shuck has no fantasy value at all right now, even in the […]

Magneuris Sierra Has Caught Fire

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Magneuris Sierra has now hit safely in nine of his last 10 games for Triple-A New Orleans. Sierra has five multi-hit games over that stretch and has now raised his batting average to .256 after a poor start. Sierra was the main piece that the Marlins got in return for Marcell […]

Steven Duggar Has Heated Up In Triple-A

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Steven Duggar has heated up over his past 10 games. Over that span, the outfielder is 19-for-45 with nine runs scored, one home run, eight RBI and two stolen bases. Duggar is the Giants top outfield prospect and is expected to debut in 2018. Unfortunately for Duggar, Giants outfielder Gorkys […]

JaCoby Jones Hits Go-Ahead Homer in Thursday's Win

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones crushed a two-run home run to break a 1-1 tie and pull ahead of the Twins for good on Thursday. His big hit came in the seventh inning off of Twins starter Lance Lynn, who was very clearly left in the game a few batters too long. Jones has been […]

Alex Verdugo Is On Fire In Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Alex Verdugo has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City. Verdugo has never been a huge power hitter, but he can drive the ball to all fields and has great contact skills. Verdugo is now hitting .323 with four home runs and 24 RBI. […]

Austin Hays To Remain In A Walking Boot

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle) will remain in a walking boot for at least two weeks. Hays quickly arrived in the big leagues last season after starting the season in Advanced-A ball and then crushing Double-A pitching. Hays struggled in spring training and began the year with Triple-A Bowie. Hays consistently hit for […]

Kyle Tucker Has Another Three-Hit Game

Houston Astros outfield prospect Kyle Tucker had his second three-hit game in three days for Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday. Tucker remains one of the better offensive prospects in the game, but will likely remain in Triple-A as the Astros have no holes on their current roster that would give Tucker everyday at-bats. Tucker is currently […]

Willie Calhoun Starting To Heat Up

Texas Rangers outfield prospect Willie Calhoun is beginning to heat up after a slow start to his season for Triple-A Round Rock. Calhoun is hitting .424 over his last 33 at-bats and that includes back-to-back three-hit games. Calhoun was the prized piece that the Rangers acquired for starting pitcher Yu Darvish last year and many […]

Andrew McCutchen Hits Second Home Run In As Many Days

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen picked up his eighth home run of the season Thursday versus the Marlins. McCutchen has now hit a home run in back-to-back games and is beginning to heat up. McCutchen is now hitting .340 over his last 50 at-bats. Owners who were patient with McCutchen are beginning to get […]

Eddie Rosario Scores Only Run Twins Can Muster Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins left fielder Eddie Rosario provided the only run on the scoreboard for the visiting team on Thursday. The Twins fell to the Detroit Tigers 3-1, but they led 1-0 up until the bottom of the seventh inning. Starting at designated hitter, Rosario just missed a home run in the top of the first […]

No Date Set For Rehab Games For Ronald Acuna

The Atlanta Braves have not set a date for outfielder Ronald Acuna (knee) to begin rehab games. The 20-year-old has been on the disabled list since the end of May with an ACL sprain but should begin his rehab games soon, even if they have not been set yet. It is unlikely that he gets activated […]

Brandon Guyer Activated from the Disabled List on Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Brandon Guyer (neck) was activated from the disabled list on Thursday. Melky Cabrera was designated for assignment in order to make room on the roster. Guyer missed three weeks because of a neck strain and should return to his usual role as a platoon player. He's been struggling this year, posting a […]

Melky Cabrera Designated for Assignment on Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Melky Cabrera was designated for assignment on Thursday. With Brandon Guyer (neck) returning from the disabled list, Cabrera was no longer needed. Cabrera signed a minor league deal with Cleveland and struggled to do anything after getting called up, slashing just .207/.242/.293 without a home run in 66 plate appearances. He'll look […]

Miguel Sano, Ryan LaMarre Out Of Lineup Thursday Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano — who also plays third base — and outfielder Ryan LaMarre are sitting this afternoon against the Detroit Tigers. Sano in particular has been a disappointment for fantasy owners this season, batting just .203 with seven home runs. In their absence, Jake Cave will take over in center field, […]

Matt Kemp Ejected After Home-Plate Scuffle Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp was ejected in the third inning of Wednesday's game against the Rangers after a home-plate collision with catcher Robinson Chirinos. Kemp was attempting to score from second base on a two-out single to right field by Enrique Hernandez. Chirinos caught the throw by Nomar Mazara in the base line […]

Wil Myers Starting Rehab Assignment

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A El Paso. Myers has been out since April 29 with an oblique strain and has been limited to 10 games all season. The initial prognosis was an early-July return, but his recovery appears to be progressing better than expected. Due […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 11)

The Tampa Bay Rays decided to call up their entire minor league system this past week. Well, not their entire team, but three notable prospects all got the call this past week and if they sell off the rest of their team, which seems not unlikely, we could see more minor leaguers come up in […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 11: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 11 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. As the season steamrolls through June, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or to deal a down-and-out disappointment grows shorter with every […]

Starling Marte Bouncing Back After DL Stint

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte hit his third double in three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks. After hitting a double and home run the night before, Marte may be starting to heat back up and regain his early-season form. Marte had hit only .230 since returning to play from the disabled list after straining his […]
