In this piece, we will name every MLB team's greatest manager of all time. Read ahead as we highlight the greatest manager of all […]

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! I'm back for the third day in a row, and it was a better outing yesterday. Jac Caglianone went yard in his second AB, and leave it to the Padres to switch up their pitching rotation for the second day in a row; that being said, German Marquez is projected once again... […]

Despite all that, Bader remains […]

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said on Thursday that outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) has started swinging a bat, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. "Off a tee, short flips, there's some of that action going on. It's mainly up to about 30 swings at this time, and he's doing well. He began swinging […]

Cincinnati Reds outfielder JJ Bleday is batting .231/.339/.470 with 18 home runs, 45 RBI, 40 runs, and six stolen bases through 331 plate appearances. The average is still a weakness, but a .260 expected mark suggests he has deserved better. More importantly, Bleday's 10.8% barrel rate, 42.1% hard-hit rate, and .468 expected slugging percentage support […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has slowed down recently after a hot start to the season. Tibbs III has been at Triple-A Oklahoma City the whole year and has hit .209 in June and .254 in July after starting the season by hitting .326 in May. He has still shown nice power […]

The San Francisco Giants "could offload" outfielder Heliot Ramos at the trade deadline, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. Passan reports that "some teams" view Ramos as a "solid flier."

Chicago White Sox rookie outfielder Braden Montgomery had a memorable major-league debut on June 9 against the Atlanta Braves, when he walked it off with a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Atlanta Braves outfield prospect Eric Hartman continued a stellar season at High-A Rome with a two-homer game on Wednesday night, complete with four RBI.

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! Last night was quite the dud; I whiffed on all my picks, and Canning didn't end up starting the game, which killed my Mickey Moniak play. We have 10 games on the slate for us today, and hopefully we get a good shot to rebound massively!  I have four spots on deck... […]

The New York Yankees have not determined when outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) will be re-examined by doctors, manager Aaron Boone told Brendan Kuty of The Athletic.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) is not in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the division-rival Kansas City Royals, per MLB.com.

It's uncertain […]

Despite an X-ray finding a fracture in his toe after he fouled a ball off his right big toe on Monday, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers (toe) is starting at first base and will bat third for Wednesday's game on the road in San Francisco against the Giants and right-hander Logan Webb.
