Daily Fantasy Soapbox - Yesterday's Recap

Welcome to the July 11th edition of Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox. Discussing baseball is as fun as the game itself.

Niko Goodrum Homers In Loss To Twins

Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the team's 9-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. The home run was his sixth of the year and only his second since May 1. Goodrum has been a fantastic source of stolen bases with 12 over 63 games on […]

Akil Baddoo (OF, DET) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ah, stolen bases. The unicorns of fantasy baseball. The last league leader with more than 50 in a season was Dee Gordon in 2017. Gordon and Jonathan Villar are the only guys to steal 60 bases in a season in the […]

Hunter Renfroe (OF, BOS) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: Renfroe has gained quite a reputation for being an all-or-nothing type of fantasy player. His abhorrent .156 average with the Rays last year set that in stone. His .262 average so far this season is 14 points better than his previous […]

Trevor Larnach (OF, MIN) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Saturday's 0-for-5 showing was forgettable, Trevor Larnach has quietly been swinging a hot bat in recent weeks. Specifically, in the two weeks of action leading up to the oh-fer, he had hit .302 with eight runs, two home runs, nine RBI and a […]

Eric Haase (C/OF, DET) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: How far off the radar was Eric Haase to open the season? Well, let's just say that his first name is misspelled in the tag on the image in our library. Now he's one of the most popular adds on Yahoo and based on […]

Mookie Betts Has Big Game In Victory

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts went 2-for-3 with a walk, four runs, three walks and a grand slam in Saturday's victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Luis Arraez Collects Three Hits, Drives In A Pair

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez went 3-for-5 with two runs and RBI in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Detroit Tigers.

Josh Naylor Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor (ankle) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. Naylor suffered a gruesome right ankle injury a few weeks ago, and he recently went under the knife, so his new designation isn't much of a surprise. The 24-year-old remains without a firm return date, although he may not be […]

Update On Ronald Acuna Jr. Likely On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (leg) is still being examined after he was carted off the field on Saturday in a contest against the Marlins. Manager Brian Snitker wasn't able to provide an update on the two-time All-Star, only indicating that more news regarding his status likely won't come until Sunday. Surely, fantasy managers […]

Brian Goodwin Stays Hot With Four Hits

Chicago White Sox outfielder Brian Goodwin continued his impressive season by going 4-for-5 with two runs, three RBI and a solo home run on Saturday versus the Baltimore Orioles.

Miami Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall (side) left Saturday's game due to mild intercostal soreness, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Duvall had been 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI in the game before he was replaced defensively in the top of the fifth inning against the Braves, When healthy he's been a […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) exited Saturday's game with an apparent right knee injury while attempting to make a catch in right field, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic.

Odubel Herrera Lands On IL With Ankle Issue

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 9. Relief pitcher J.D. Hammer was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Herrera missed three of the last four games with an ankle injury and it makes sense to put him on the IL right before the […]

Kole Calhoun Activated From IL, Starting Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was activated from the 60-day injured list on Saturday, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Calhoun will get the start in right field on Saturday and is batting fifth against Walker Buehler and the Dodgers. He has appeared in only 13 games this season, as he opened […]

Mike Trout Has No Date For Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) still does not have a set date for his rehab assignment, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reported on Saturday. The 29-year-old slugger took swings off a pitching machine earlier this week but still doesn't appear to be working out at full capacity since suffering a Grade 2 right calf […]

Starling Marte Scratched From Lineup On Saturday

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte (personal) was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to an undisclosed personal matter, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Austin Hays Not In The Lineup Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He has started six straight games and is well deserving of a rest day here. DJ Stewart will cover left field versus right-hander Lucas Giolito on Saturday. Stewart doesn't hit for a high average, but […]

Jesus Sanchez Sitting Out Versus Braves

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He has struggled, hitting .221/.277/.364 with three homers and nine RBI across 83 plate appearances since joining the MLB roster.
