Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario went 3-for-5 with two solo homers in a 7-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.

The Cut List (Week 25) - Time to Let Go?

Only two weeks to go! Not much time in roto, but enough if things are close, or if you're entering crunch time in a head-to-head playoff.

Michael Brantley Enduring Rough September

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is going through his worst offensive stretch of the season as the team takes on the Royals on Saturday. On a highly dangerous offensive team, Brantley has been the most consistent force all season. But Brantley is hitting only .169 over his last 53 at-bats and currently is slugging only […]

Nick Mariano's Waiver Picks - Get 'Em While They're Hot (Premium Content)

Lourdes Gurriel Activated On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel (quadriceps) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Gurriel has been sidelined since early August due to a strained left quad.

Starling Marte Remains Out on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Marte injured his wrist last Sunday and has been battling through it all week. He'll sit this one out to rest and he could be doing a lot of that with the Pirates out of contention. […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 24 - Buy or Sell?

A lot of this week's risers aren't actually too surprising.

In short, though, you can ride his streak, […]
