White Sox Resting Andrew Vaughn On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox left fielder Andrew Vaughn will rest on Wednesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Vaughn has started four of the White Sox first six games, but is just 1-for-11 with two runs scored and a RBI. Vaughn is one of the top power hitting prospects in the game and also is a very good […]

Brent Rooker Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Brent Rooker (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Rooker was initially listed as a member of the Twins starting nine for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, though he was scratched from the lineup and will be sidelined with a cervical strain. Pitcher Brandon Waddell is expected to […]

Luis Arraez, Max Kepler Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins utility man Luis Arraez and outfielder Max Kepler are not in Wednesday's lineup for the series finale against the Tigers. Both left-handed hitters are out of the lineup against Tigers southpaw Matthew Boyd, as manager Rocco Baldelli goes with a predominantly right-handed order. Jake Cave will get the start in left field for Brent […]

Byron Buxton Back In Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. Buxton missed one game and part of another as he dealt with an illness, though he replaced Brent Rooker (neck) in the fifth inning of Tuesday's game and homered for the third time this season, all but ensuring that […]

Hot Fantasy Prospects To Watch For Week 2

So how are you all feeling after Opening Weekend? I mean we all expected Baltimore to sweep Boston right? And the White Sox would lose two of three to the Angels? And Detroit would be tied at the top of the AL Central and the Nationals will still not have started their season by Tuesday? But […]

Taylor Trammell Strikes Out Three Times

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a walk on Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox. For the season, Trammell is now 1-for-13 with nine strikeouts and two walks. While that's a far cry from his stellar production in spring training, Trammell is in no risk of losing playing time. […]

Jake Fraley Exits With Hamstring Injury

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in Tuesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox. Fraley was attempting to make a diving catch on a Yoan Moncada fly ball in the top of the 5th inning, and was immediately removed from the game. He will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, and […]

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 2

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte led the way in a 10-8 victory over the Rockies on Tuesday, finishing 3-for-7 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Josh Rojas was one of the stars of the Cactus League this year for Arizona, slashing .347/.405/.583 with four home runs.  While those numbers are gaudy, maybe even more relevant is the fact that he was among the leaders in plate appearances across […]

Brandon Nimmo Reaches Base Three Times

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo reached base three times on three walks in the Mets' 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Nimmo, showcasing his on-base-percentage skillset, went 0-for-2 with the three walks, an RBI, and scored one run in the contest. After batting eighth in the season opener, Nimmo showed just why […]

Marcell Ozuna Just 2-For-14 With Seven Strikeouts

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna is off to a rough start to the 2021 season. Through four games, he's gone 2-for-14 with two walks and seven strikeouts. He's yet to record a run or an RBI and he doesn't have any extra-base hits. Ozuna can be a bit of a streaky hitter. Fantasy managers shouldn't […]

Dominic Smith Belts First Homer Of The Season

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith blasted a two-run home run in the Mets' 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Smith, playing left field and batting fifth, went 1-for-4 on the day, with just the HR, his first of the 2021 campaign. After, almost inexplicably, sitting the first game of the season, […]

Bryce Harper Searching For First Extra-Base Hit

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is off to a somewhat quiet start to the 2021 season, despite the team's 4-1 start. Harper has walked at least once in each game, which has led to a remarkable on-base percentage of .455. However, outside of his walks, he's gone just 3-for-15 with no extra-base hits. The underlying […]

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI and one walk versus the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday evening. Robert crushed a two-run long ball in the top of the fifth inning to give the White Sox a 5-3 lead at the time and it would turn out to be […]

Juan Soto The Hero In Walk-Off Win Tuesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto had his first Major League walk-off hit to beat the Atlanta Braves in the team's season opener on Tuesday by a score of 6-5. The Nats season was delayed with 10 players on the injured list due to MLB's COVID-19 protocols. It was Soto's only hit in five at-bats, but […]

Akil Baddoo's Legend Continues To Grow

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo, who homered on the first pitch of his career and hit a grand slam the previous two days, had a game-winning, 10th-inning walk-off single against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. He became the first Tigers player to hit home runs in his first two Major League games, and on Tuesday […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Blasts Two Homers On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. Both home runs came against Nationals ace Max Scherzer. Acuna had a quiet series against the Phillies, but it is safe to say the 23-year-old has broken out. Expect Acuna to finish […]

Tyler Naquin Has Huge Game Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin had a massive day in a 14-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Naquin went 3-for-4 with two homers, seven RBI, and a walk in the win. The veteran outfielder has been on a tear of late as he also hit a homer in Sunday's win over the St. […]

Victor Robles Leads Off, Walks Twice Tuesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles served as the team's leadoff hitter for their season opener, a 6-5 walk-off win against the Braves. He singled, walked twice, and scored twice in five plate appearances. If he puts together that kind of performance regularly, he could be the team's leadoff hitter even after presumed regulars Josh Bell […]

Byron Buxton Belts Third Homer Of Season

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a 4-3 loss to Detroit. Buxton entered the game in the bottom of the fifth inning as a defensive replacement for Brent Rooker- and proceeded to continue his torrid start to the season. It's a great sign for fantasy managers, as the […]

Kyle Lewis Progressing Well With Baseball Activities

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) worked in the batting cages on Monday and came out of it feeling "very positive," according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Continuing to work his way back from a bone bruise in his knee suffered during Spring Training, Kramer says that Lewis will do plyometrics on Tuesday, including some […]

Antonio Cabello, Josh Stowers Acquired By Texas

The Texas Rangers acquired outfield prospects Antonio Cabello and Josh Stowers in Tuesday's Rougned Odor trade with the New York Yankees. Neither player is a top prospect but both have a little bit of intrigue. Cabello, a former catcher, has been playing center field but is perhaps better suited to a corner position in the […]

Mike Yastrzemski In Tuesday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hand) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres. Yastrzemski had been dealing with a sore hand, though he was able to enter Monday's game as a pinch hitter, delivering a solo homer, which seemed to indicate that he would be among the team's starting batters […]
