The Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?
Although we are only one week into the baseball season, some of the players you may have drafted in the mid-to-late rounds of standard 10 and 12-teamers are probably not quite working out. Because you didn't spend too much draft capital on them, you don't have to worry about sunk costs and you can, if […]
H2H Category Streamers - Week 2 Waiver Wire
There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Tim Anderson Picks Up Three More Hits
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson stayed hot on Saturday versus the Seattle Mariners by going 3-for-4 with a home run on Saturday to raise his batting average to .500. Anderson has always been a streaky hitter, but with his power and speed combination, Anderson is a nice option at shortstop in mixed leagues.
Tim Beckham Records Four Hits Saturday
The red-hot start to 2019 continues for Seattle Mariners shortstop Tim Beckham. He led the M's offense in the team's 9-2 win over the White Sox, recording four hits, including a homer, as he finished the day with three RBI and two runs scored. Beckham is raking at the dish so far in 2019, batting […]
Wilmer Difo Hits Two-Run Shot
Washington Nationals shortstop Wilmer Difo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, his first of the year, in Washington's 6-5 loss against the New York Mets on Saturday.

Jorge Polanco Hits For The Cycle In Loss
Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco hit for the cycle in a 10-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. He finished the evening 5-for-5 with one run scored and one RBI.

Willy Adames Remains Cold, Still In Lineup
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames is just 1-for-23 in his plate appearances so far this season. The Rays are showing patience with Adames as he works through his current slump.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Polanco extended his season-opening hit streak to five games in the most dramatic of fashions on Friday, going 5-for-5 and hitting for the first cycle of the season.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Helps Spoil Cardinals Home Opener
San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-4 with his second big league home run Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Through eight contests, the 20-year-old has started each game and […]
Niko Goodrum Notches Three RBI Thursday
Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum got the start in center field on Thursday and filled the cleanup role in the batting order. He did his job with the stick, collecting two hits and driving in three RBI to lead the Tigers. Goodrum has been a nice surprise so far as Detroit's best hitter. In […]
Andrelton Simmons Injured Thursday
Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons was removed from the game early on Thursday night with lower back tightness. Simmons struck out in his only at-bat before leaving the game with the injury. Consider him day-to-day for now and check back to see if he's in the lineup on Friday. If he's forced to miss […]
Gleyber Torres Smacks Two Home Runs To Save Yankees
The New York Yankees were in need of someone to step up and get the offense going Thursday afternoon in Baltimore as they found themselves trailing once again.
