Joey Wendle (2B/3B/SS, TB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Here's an interesting note: if you were going strictly by WAR, Joey Wendle would've beaten Shohei Ohtani, Miguel Andujar, and Gleyber Torres for the 2018 AL ROY with a 4.8. Aside from that, Wendle is attempting to recover in 2020 from a subpar showing […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We kick start a new week with nine games on the main slate for FanDuel. That leaves us with a very high-salary pitcher (Patrick Corbin $10,800) and some middle-tier arms. It's always nice to have more high-upside options, but we can still grab Dustin May or Kyle Gibson to anchor our teams. I could go […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Homers Again To Wrap Monster Week

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Complementing his tater with a single, Tatis wraps up a monster week going 10-for-23 (.435 average) with six long balls and 16 runs-plus-RBI. After homering in four consecutive contests, the 21-year-old star is slashing .333/.417/.810 and leads […]

Pirates-Cardinals Series Cancelled Due To COVID-19 Concerns

The upcoming series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals that was scheduled for Monday-Wednesday has been officially cancelled as the Cardinals continue to work through the positive COVID-19 tests that have dismantled their 2020 season. Monday’s contest had already been wiped out, but now the whole series will be tabled, making it at […]

Bo Bichette Extends Hit Streak To Five

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette extended his hitting streak to five games during the team's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox Sunday. His lone hit of the afternoon went for a solo shot in the sixth off Nathan Eovaldi, his second of the season. Bichette is hitting .289 with just one walk so far […]

Gleyber Torres Extends Hit Streak To Three Games

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres extended his hit streak to three games with a 1-for-3 performance on Sunday. Torres broke a 24-at-bat hitless streak in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader, and he appears to be heating up after a slow start to the season. Poor contact quality has been the primary driver of […]

Tim Anderson To Travel For Next Series, Activation Likely

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been out of the lineup since July 31 with a right groin strain. Anderson will make the trip with the club to Detroit for the series that begins Monday, which lends credence to the idea that he would be activated and ready to man shortstop again. In his […]

Latest Cardinals Tests Come Back Negative

The St. Louis Cardinals have been tested recently and they've come back negative, according to Jon Heyman. The team hasn't played since July 29 after a COVID-19 outbreak hit their roster. The league has reportedly postponed their game on Monday against the Pirates, though perhaps there's a chance they can play sometime this coming week.

Corey Seager Still Not Doing Baseball Activities

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (back) is day-to-day but still hasn't been able to engage in any baseball activities. Seager sustained the back injury while moving to his left on a groundball during Friday's game. It doesn't appear to be too serious yet, as the team is not considering a stint on the injured […]

Elvis Andrus Bumped To Seventh Spot

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus is batting seventh in the team's matchup versus Angels left-hander Andrew Heaney on Sunday. Andrus has hit out of the top two spots in the order primarily, but with a .163 BA to start the season, the club is electing to use Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the two-hole on Sunday. Andrus […]

Eric Sogard Leading Off Again Versus Reds

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Eric Sogard is leading off and playing shortstop in the team's Sunday matchup versus Reds righty Sonny Gray. The veteran has frequently been used in the leadoff spot for the team this season, and with Lorenzo Cain opting out this year, he'll likely remain to get most of his starts there. Sogard […]

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius has collected a hit in seven of his first eight contests with the club following a two-hit performance Saturday.

Trea Turner Remains Steal-less Through Rough Start To 2020

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner came off the board as a first-round pick in many fantasy drafts in 2020. Through his first 11 games, he has performed vastly below expectations, yet to record a stolen base while leading the Majors with three times caught stealing. It’s not just his legs that have been slumping, it’s […]

Marcus Semien Has Big Afternoon Saturday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien filled the stat-sheet Saturday with a big game vs the Astros.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager was removed from Friday’s game with a back injury and will now also be held out of Saturday’s lineup.

Gleyber Torres Snaps Out Of 0-For-24 Skid Saturday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres entered play Saturday mired in an 0-for-24 slump that had dropped his batting average to .119. He broke out immediately with a hit off Rays starter Tyler Glasnow in the second. Entering play, Torres’ .167 wOBA and .260 wOBAcon both ranked in the bottom ten percentile of the league, […]

Marcus Semien Delivers Walk-Off Hit

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien didn't have a great night Friday vs the Astros, but he was the hero in the 13th inning delivering a walk-off single to win the game.
