Matt McLain: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

Fantasy managers love guys who hit home runs. We also love guys who steal bases. Our favorite players can do both, and guys who project to run and hit for power rarely stay on waivers very long. If you want them, you have to act quickly. Matt McLain made his big league debut last night, […]

Tyler Fitzgerald Looking Great In Triple-A

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Tyler Fitzgerald, 25, was a fourth-round pick out of Louisville back in 2019. He has shown solid strides offensively over the last few seasons, headlined by terrific pop in his bat. With that said, this increased power production has led to higher strikeout rates for the middle infielder. A solid […]

The move follows a two-game stint at Double-A Wichita, which saw Lewis record two hits in six at-bats.

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hamstring) is day-to-day with a left-hamstring injury that he suffered on Saturday when he grounded into a double play. Hernandez will start on the bench for the second day in a row on Monday due to his hamstring strain, so fantasy managers will need to put the 31-year-old utility […]

Matt McLain Hitting Second In MLB Debut

Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Matt McLain is starting at shortstop and is hitting second in his major-league debut on Monday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Connor Seabold.

Matt McLain To Be Called Up By Reds

McLain, 23, is slashing a robust .348/.474/.710 with 12 homers and 10 steals in 138 at-bats at Triple-A Louisville. The Reds will likely give him plenty of playing […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Homers, Drives In Three

Kansas City Royals infielder Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two strikeouts in a 9-6 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Witt Jr. had a nice little day at the dish, swatting a two-run double in the top of the second inning and belting his seventh […]

David Peralta Off Again Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta is taking a seat to start Sunday's contest against Ryan Weathers and the San Diego Padres. The 35-year-old has disappointed thus far, batting .209 with a .544 OPS over 32 games. It will be Peralta's fourth time on the bench over the club's last five games, as all of […]

Brandon Crawford Activated From The Injured List

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (calf) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Crawford has gotten off to a sluggish start this season, slashing just .169/.244/.352 with four home runs, 10 RBI, and three stolen bases across 71 at-bats.

Ramon Urias Steadily Improving

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) was in the batting cage, according to manager Brandon Hyde, and is "much improved."

Ezequiel Tovar (SS, COL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Like Miguel Vargas, Tovar is a top prospect who got off to a slow start.

Aledmys Diaz Activated From The IL

Oakland Athletics infielder Aledmys Diaz has been activated from the 10-day injured list. The 32-year-old missed a little over two weeks with a hamstring strain.
