The New York Mets have scouts attending the Boston Red Sox's Friday night affair against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Ken Rosenthal. They are mainly there to see Red Sox outfielder J.D.

Luis Robert Scratched From Rehab Game

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) has been scratched from Triple-A Charlotte's lineup Friday with cold symptoms. The young star has been dealing with light-headedness and dizziness over the past few weeks and just began his rehab assignment on Thursday. He is still scheduled to play on Saturday, so hopefully this is just a […]

Max Kepler Still Out Against Padres

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (toe) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the San Diego Padres. Kepler will miss his third straight game while dealing with a displaced fracture in his right pinkie toe. For now, he's being considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if the Twins eventually put him […]

George Springer Not Starting Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Springer left the game early on Thursday with right elbow discomfort, but he also said he felt fine, insinuating that his injury isn't all that serious. It sounds like the Blue Jays are just giving him […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 16

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Nationals To Make Juan Soto Another Offer

The Washington Nationals plan to make another offer to All-Star outfielder Juan Soto, which will be their last. If Soto doesn't accept the offer, he will be traded before Tuesday's deadline. Soto was initially going to be off limits in trade talks this summer, but that was before he turned down a 15-year, $440 million […]

Ian Happ Collects Two Hits In Loss

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ broke up the no-hitter with a leadoff single in the seventh inning. He finished the game 2-for-4 with a run scored in the loss to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The 27-year-old has been a hot name as the trade deadline approaches. He's hitting .284/.367/.446 with nine homers, 46 […]

Yankees Could Trade Joey Gallo To Small-Market Team

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo is likely to be on the move within the next few days. The front office is looking to trade Gallo who has heavily struggled this season.

Brewers Discussing Ramon Laureano Trade

The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to upgrade in the outfield with the trade deadline looming. That being said, the front office is reportedly discussing trading for Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano. On paper, this seems like a good fit with the Brewers needing another full-time outfielder. Laureano isn't having a great year at the plate, […]

Darick Hall Triples On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman/designated hitter Darick Hall went 1-for-5 in Thursday's 8-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. His lone hit was a triple, and he scored and had two RBI. Hall has had good results to start his career, slashing .256/.282/.537 with five home runs, 14 runs, and 11 RBI across 22 games. Although, the […]

Nick Castellanos Compiles Three Hits On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos helped the team defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 on Thursday. He went 3-for-5 with three singles, an RBI and a run scored in the contest. Despite Thursday's three-hit effort, the 30-year-old has continued to have an underwhelming season from both a real life and fantasy standpoint. He's slashing just .251/.295/.368 […]

Big news broke on Wednesday night as it was reported that the Yankees are acquiring Andrew Benintendi from the Royals for a package of prospects.

It Was A Nice Run But Joc Pederson Has Fallen Hard, It's Time to Trade Him

Joc Pederson got off to a great start this season. If you had him in your fantasy lineups during April, May, and June, you enjoyed elite production of 17 home runs, 33 runs, 39 RBI, two steals, and a .276 batting average in those first 65 games played. He hit six home runs in April […]

Texas Rangers reliever Joe Barlow (finger) and infielder Brad Miller (neck) will both go on a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, according to manager Chris Woodward.

Last night was not the night to fade the Dodgers in Coors, as they hung 13 on the Rockies as chalk and in doing so kept a bunch of my lineups from cashing in the process. We will have to make the tough decision to play or fade (or at least which specific Dodgers to […]

The New York Mets traded pitcher Jose Acuna and second baseman Hector Rodriguez to the Cincinnati Reds for outfielder Tyler Naquin and Phillip Diehl on Thursday. Naquin will join a crowded Mets outfield with Mark Canha, Starling Marte and Brandon Nimmo. The 31-year-old will provide the Mets with outfield depth, but he is not expected to see […]

Luis Gonzalez Out With Back Issue

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Gonzalez (back) is dealing with a slight back issue, which is why he's not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Justin Steele. Joc Pederson is starting in left field and is hitting sixth in the batting order. Gonzalez has been a bright spot for […]

Hitters To Have A Big Second Half? Strikeout Rate Improvements for Fantasy Baseball

One good way to find hitters to help your fantasy team during the stretch run is to see which hitters have been striking out less as the year has gone by. The strikeout rate is far from the only thing to consider with a hitter, and it's probably not even the most important statistic - […]

Edwin Rios Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Edwin Rios (hamstring) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, starting at third base and batting second. Rios landed on the injured list on June 3 with a torn hamstring, so he's likely to require a lengthy rehab assignment before the Dodgers consider having […]

Luis Robert Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday

The Chicago White Sox announced that outfielder Luis Robert (head) will start a minor league rehab assignment for Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday night. Robert won't be ready to return from the injured list when he's eligible on Friday, but the good news is that he's ready to return to game action. The 24-year-old hasn't played […]

Connor Joe Returns To The Lineup On Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Connor Joe is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against left-hander Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He will be leading off and playing first base. Joe exited this past Sunday's game after suffering an injury while diving for a catch in the field. The team stated that he […]

Bryan Reynolds Placed On Paternity List

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds on the paternity list on Thursday and recalled outfielder Bligh Madris from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. At the most, Reynolds will be away from the team for the next three days, so fantasy managers must plan accordingly. It's a bit frustrating since the 27-year-old just returned […]

Andrew Benintendi Hitting Leadoff In Yankees Debut

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi is starting in left field and is hitting leadoff on Thursday in his debut with the team against his former team, the Kansas City Royals, and right-hander Brady Singer.
