We absolutely cooked at RotoBaller yesterday in DFS! Going cheap at starting pitcher and loading up on the expensive Coors bats proved to be the correct path, and my cash lineup wound up near the top in all contests entered. It's a great day of baseball to keep the momentum going, as there are an... […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We're a week past the All-Star break with less than two weeks before the MLB Trade Deadline, so there are plenty of fascinating storylines to follow across the sport as we come down the stretch. It's a jam-packed day of on-field action with multiple double-headers on the board. As we get ready... […]

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman did not make his 2026 season debut until mid-June due to offseason ankle surgery. However, the veteran switch-hitter has been on fire since making his return to the lineup, entering play on Tuesday slashing .354/.440/.519 with two home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored, and two stolen bases […]

Kansas City Royals outfielder/first baseman Jac Caglianone (shoulder) exited early from his team's game on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants due to right shoulder soreness. Caglianone was hitless in two plate appearances before being removed. Across 367 plate appearances this season, Caglianone is hitting .258/.316/.463 with 16 home runs, 37 RBI, 46 runs scored, […]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (leg) is being held out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the visiting Cincinnati Reds at T-Mobile Park, according to MLB.com. Victor Robles is making the start in center field and will bat seventh against Reds right-hander Chase Burns on Tuesday. Rodriguez will be held out as a […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (elbow) is starting in right field and will bat third for the D-backs on Tuesday at Chase Field against the visiting Athletics and right-hander Jack Perkins, per MLB.com. As expected, Carroll will make his return after a one-game absence due to a hyperextended right elbow that he suffered in Sunday's […]

The game between the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday has been postponed due to inclement weather, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. The contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader at Fenway Park on Wednesday. Rookie left-hander Eduardo Rivera was scheduled to start for Boston on Tuesday, while being […]

The Los Angeles Angels fired a pro scout who calls himself "The Baseball Spy" after filming Colorado Rockies coaches on his cell phone while working in the stands, according to Brittany Ghiroli and Sam Blum of The Athletic. The Angels had just hired Justin "Boomer" Prinstein last December. Scouts filming is generally considered a legal […]

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez singled and scored in Monday's 8-5 win over Pittsburgh, his fourth straight start since the All-Star break. He has played right field three times and served as the designated hitter once during that stretch. Dominguez is batting .230 with five home runs, 15 runs, 11 RBI, and six steals […]

Cleveland Guardians first base prospect Ralphy Velazquez continues to perform well at Triple-A Columbus, biding his time until a call-up to the major leagues. The Guardians' top-ranked prospect earned a promotion to Columbus in May and is slashing .273/.357/.422 in 42 games for the Clippers, but has kicked it into high gear since mid June. […]

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes is hitting just .179 (7-for-39) in his first nine games at Triple-A, but he could be getting more comfortable at the plate, now with an extra-base hit in three consecutive games (three doubles, one home run). In fact, six of his seven hits at that level have gone for […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (elbow) is expected to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the visiting Athletics and right-hander Jack Perkins after missing Monday's series opener with a hyperextended right elbow that he suffered on a missed swing in Sunday's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to John Gambadoro […]

Across 267 plate appearances in 2026, Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone is hitting .261/.333/.513 with 15 home runs, 40 RBI, 34 runs scored, and one stolen base. The lefty-swinger opened the year in a big-side platoon role, but he's logged a .910 OPS so far this season against southpaws and has begun to move into […]

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Petey Halpin had a night to remember in Monday's 13-4 victory over the division-rival Minnesota Twins at Progressive Field, going 3-for-5 at the plate out of the nine-hole with his first two major-league home runs, a double, three RBI, and three runs scored to raise his average to .222 and his OPS […]

Across 366 plate appearances in 2026, Minnesota Twins second baseman/outfielder Luke Keaschall is hitting .263/.352/.352 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 49 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases. With his 3.0% barrel rate and 27.9% hard-hit rate, Keaschall is highly unlikely to provide value in the power categories for fantasy managers. However, the 23-year-old limits […]

Across 246 plate appearances in 2026, Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (heel) is hitting .206/.279/.427 with 13 home runs, 36 RBI, and 26 runs scored. It's been a disappointing season overall for Carpenter, who has seen his strikeout rate spike to a career-worst 29.7% and his batting average fall well below his career mark of […]

Across 213 plate appearances since being promoted to the big leagues in mid-May, Athletics outfielder Henry Bolte is hitting .258/.336/.344 with three home runs, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. The 22-year-old's power upside is limited by his tendency to hit the ball on the ground, as his average launch angle is […]

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez has been a consistent power source at Triple-A Louisville this season with 24 homers and 61 RBI, 67 runs scored, and a .280 batting average. The 22-year-old left-handed hitter has been steady all season and could force his power bat to a big league promotion. Rodriguez is the Reds' […]

Colorado Rockies prospect Zac Veen has shown a steady hand at Triple-A Albuquerque this season, producing solid stats and making a case for a second-half call up. Veen has racked up 16 homers and 61 RBI while scoring 60 runs and stealing 15 bases all while hitting .314. It's very solid all-around production from the […]

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is hitting .303 this season with a .331 wOBA and 110 wRC+. He slumped a little bit going into the All-Star break, hitting .158 over his last 16 games before the break, but he seems to have benefited from the time off and has started the second half […]

New York Mets prospect Ryan Clifford has put together a nice season at Triple-A Syracuse, but his batting average remains very low. His productivity is solid with 16 homers and 47 RBI to go with 48 runs scored and seven stolen bases, but he is hitting just .192. Clifford has continued to produce, but hit […]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hamstring) was removed from Monday night's game early against the Cincinnati Reds as a precaution after he was hit by the ball and the jarring from hitting first base while running full speed, according to Tim Booth of The Seattle Times. Manager Dan Wilson said there wasn't concern about a […]

So far, managers have seen the importance of stashing prospects during the first half. Players like Cole Carrigg, Henry Bolte, A.J. Ewing, Payton Tolle, Gage Jump, and Sam Antonacci have all flashed high-end skills for fantasy and emerged as weekly fantasy options. In this piece, we will spotlight three of the top prospects at the […]

Happy Tuesday, RotoBaller readers! This is the first Tuesday back from the All-Star break, and we are blessed with gas cans all over the slate. There are many options to choose from, but I think I’ve narrowed things down to a quartet of bets that will take advantage of hitting conditions, pitching matchups, and platoon... […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We got another great slate of games on deck for y'all. Dylan Cease disappointed a bit, especially at his price, but George Kirby and Kyle Leahy had pretty good starts, so the cheaper pitchers ended up being the move! We have 13 games on today's slate, so let's have some success and... […]

Hey RotoBallers! The 2026 MLB season continues to fly by, and we are already onto Week 17. At RotoBaller HQ, we return with more fantasy baseball waiver wire advice. We rank the top 100 hitters and pitchers to prioritize off the waiver wire in all league sizes with our fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for […]

Across 327 plate appearances this season, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell is hitting .283/.368/.465 with eight home runs, 48 RBI, 44 runs scored, and seven stolen bases. Mitchell owns a 32.7% strikeout rate on the year, so his batting average is likely to regress along with his unsustainably high .423 batting average on balls in […]

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez continued to rake in Monday night's 8-5 win over the visiting Miami Marlins at Daikin Park by going 3-for-4 at the plate as the designated hitter with two home runs and a strikeout to raise his season average to .324 and his OPS to a stellar 1.083. Alvarez continued to […]

Across 291 plate appearances this season, Chicago White Sox outfielder Tristan Peters is hitting .292/.341/.462 with six home runs, 37 RBI, 38 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 26-year-old does not profile as a plus source of power for fantasy managers, as he's posted just a 4.7% barrel rate and a 30.5% hard-hit rate. […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (elbow) is absent from the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener at Chase Field against the visiting Athletics, according to MLB.com. Jorge Barrosa is starting in right field and will bat out of the nine-hole against A's left-hander Jeffrey Springs. Carroll is considered day-to-day after suffering a hyperextended elbow […]
