Champ or Chump: Agustin Ramirez and Chandler Simpson Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

Prospect callups are frequently among the most exciting events in fantasy baseball, and MLB clubs have started bringing up exciting names. Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez went 20/20 with an advanced plate approach on the farm in 2024, and he's a catcher. Sort of. His defense is atrocious, and that could be a good thing for […]

Chicago Cubs infield prospect James Triantos was removed from last Thursday's Triple-A Iowa game due to tightness in his leg and has missed both games since.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers is not in the starting nine on Monday evening when the Marlins face Cincinnati left-handed pitcher Nick Lodolo. Stowers has only made five starts against left-handed pitching this season. When facing lefties, Stowers has been productive, holding a .500 AVG, but will be held out of the lineup. Through the […]

Yanquiel Fernandez Goes Deep Twice On Sunday
