Bryce Harper Could Return On Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) is set to see his doctor for a follow-up appointment on Monday morning. If everything goes well, Harper could be cleared to rejoin the Phillies lineup on Tuesday. He has been making great progress lately and appears ready to get back on the field. It's surprising he's ready to […]

Tyrone Taylor Could Return This Week

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (elbow) is hopeful to rejoin the active roster at some point this week. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since February due to a right elbow sprain. He continues to work his way back and has already played in four games during his rehab assignment. The expectation is that he'll play […]

Randal Grichuk (OF, COL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Randal Grichuk was just activated from the injured list on Saturday and expects to immediately take on an everyday playing role for the Rockies. The 31-year-old managed 19 home runs alongside a middling .259/.299/.425 slash line. It was ultimately an underwhelming debut […]

Jack Suwinski (OF, PIT) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jack Suwinski is another outfielder whose fantasy ownership has grown exponentially over the past week. He carries a .276/.397/.603 slash line, including a 173 OPS+, 165 wRC+, and five home runs. Suwinski's downside is that he's primarily a platoon player, though he does […]

Jarren Duran (OF, BOS) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Duran has been an on-again, off-again part of the Red Sox MLB roster as far back as 2021. Still, his total service time is just over 100 games deep, so take his career .685 OPS with a grain of salt. The highly regarded […]

Dominic Fletcher Recalled From Triple-A Reno

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Dominic Fletcher has been recalled from Triple-A Reno and will serve as an extra outfielder on the big league roster. The D-Backs want some outfield depth after Corbin Carroll hurt his knee and had to leave Saturday's contest early. Fletcher was slashing .323/.417/.559 with three home runs, 13 RBI, and one stolen […]

Julio Rodriguez Not In The Lineup Against Toronto

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays. J-Rod left Saturday's contest early with back tightness so it makes sense that the Mariners are going to be extra cautious with their 22-year-old phenom. He'll get an extra day off on Monday as well […]

Corbin Carroll Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies. Carroll suffered a knee contusion while attempting to make a leaping catch during Saturday's contest. He left that game early and it looks like he needs another day to get right. The dynamic 22-year-old should be […]

Tim Anderson, Andrew Benintendi Could Be Back Tuesday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee), outfielders Andrew Benintendi (elbow) and Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) and infielder Hanser Alberto (quadriceps) could all return to the team by Tuesday. Anderson is the biggest name on this list. He has been out just under three weeks with a knee sprain, but he began a minor-league rehab […]

Luis Robert Jr. Sitting Out Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday in the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. Robert is dealing with a minor hamstring injury and also was pulled early on Saturday for not running hard on the base paths. In his absence, Adam Haseley will start […]

Braves-Mets Postponed Sunday

The game between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets on Sunday has been postponed due to inclement weather in the area. The contest will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Monday, May 1. Right-hander Spencer Strider was scheduled to start for the Braves, while right-hander Tylor Megill was going to […]

Anthony Santander Resting Against Tigers

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is taking the day off on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Santander will get a little breather after going 2-for-7 with a run scored in Saturday's doubleheader against Detroit. The 28-year-old Venezuelan outfielder hasn't done much for Baltimore on offense so far in 2023, as he's gone just 20-for-94 (.213) […]

Enrique Hernandez Out With Ankle Injury

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. He's currently listed as day-to-day with an ankle injury that has kept him out of action for the last two games. Christian Arroyo is getting the nod at shortstop and is hitting sixth, while Enmanuel Valdez […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Hitting Sixth Against Lefty

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is starting in center field and is hitting sixth in the lineup against left-hander Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Normally the team's leadoff hitter, Chisholm will have considerably less DFS appeal with the move down the batting order against a southpaw on Sunday. He's hitting .130 […]

Deeper Hitter Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Waiver Wire Report for Week 6

We’re rounding around week six of the fantasy baseball season. I know it takes some time to settle in, but there is no time to waste.

Alex Verdugo Walks It Off

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo drove in the winning run to top the Cleveland Guardians by an 8-7 margin on Saturday. The Guardians took hold of the lead in the top of the 10th after Mike Zunino lined a single to left field, but Christian Arroyo knotted the game at seven with an RBI […]

Thairo Estrada Compiles Four Hits On Saturday

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada went 4-for-5 in Saturday's 16-11 loss to the San Diego Padres in Mexico City. This series marks the first time in history that an MLB game was held in Mexico. Estrada recorded two doubles along with three RBI in the loss. The 27-year-old is on pace for a career […]

Corbin Carroll Exits Saturday's Game After Collision

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (knee) exited Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies early after crashing into the wall while tracking down a double from Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon. He walked off the field under his own power and was seen limping, heading into the clubhouse. The 22-year-old went 1-for-4 with an RBI and […]

Luis Robert Jr. Benched In Saturday's Game

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays in the second inning due to a managerial decision. It was initially reported that Robert was pulled due to an injury but was removed due to his lack of hustle on a grounder that could have been beaten out for […]

Julio Rodriguez Exits With Lower Back Tightness

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) left Saturday's game due to lower back tightness. Rodriguez was replaced in the game in the sixth inning, though it was first unknown why. This update gives a clearer picture of what he is dealing with. The youngster has been struggling to start the year and now is dealing […]

Aaron Judge Has Mild Hip Strain

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) was diagnosed with a mild strain near the top of his hip. Manager Aaron Boone already said the injured list was a possibility, but now the Yankees have a little more clarity on the situation. The team would like to wait to see if it improves but hope […]

Tyler O'Neill Returning On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is returning to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was scratched from the lineup on Friday due to back tightness. However, it appears he's feeling better now as he'll bat sixth and play left field versus lefty Clayton Kershaw on Saturday. Fantasy […]

Randal Grichuk Activated On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk (hernia) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The right-handed slugger has been sidelined all season while recovering from sports hernia surgery. Grichuk is set to make his season debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. He'll bat sixth and play left field against lefty Tommy Henry. […]

Julio Rodriguez Removed From Saturday's Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez was removed early during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's uncertain what happened as Rodriguez was removed for A.J. Pollock in the sixth inning. The team hasn't given any information on why Rodriguez was taken out, so it's assumed he's dealing with some kind of injury. The Mariners […]

Andrew Benintendi Sitting Out On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (elbow) is being held out of the starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Benintendi is dealing with some minor elbow soreness. Benintendi underwent precautionary X-rays, but they came back negative. The expectation is that Benintendi will return for Sunday's series […]

Jake Fraley Starting Saturday's Game On The Bench

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley will begin Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics on the bench. The former Seattle Mariner is slashing .230/.333/.351 with two bombs, nine runs, 14 RBI, and three stolen bases over 24 games. With left-hander Kyle Muller taking the ball for the A's, it makes sense to sit Fraley, who owns […]
