Top 8 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 25)

Mother Hubbard’s cupboard is getting bare. The MLB regular season has less than two weeks to go. However, there is a small group of prospects that could still help fantasy managers as the playoffs wind down. Last week’s list saw five pitchers receive the call to the Majors: Kyle Wright, Bryse Wilson, Justin Dunn, Joe […]

Carlos Correa Hitless In Return

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa went 0-for-4 in his first game on Tuesday after missing almost a month of action.

Nick Ahmed Scratched on Tuesday

Carlos Correa Should Return This Week

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list sometime this week. Correa has been sidelined since August 20 due to a lower back issue.

The setting was certainly favorable, but Urias is scorching at the dish amidst a nine-game hitting streak, batting .400 and raising his OPS from .576 to .662. The […]

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