Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB. Each year, closers drop like flies, and many MLB teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Relief pitchers are becoming increasingly important […]

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Michael Soroka (glute) was placed on the 15-day Injured List on Saturday. Soroka suffered a strained left glute while warming up in the second inning of Friday's contest. This is a tough break for the D-Backs, who don't have a ton of reliable pitching options at the moment. Soroka will be […]

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Ouch, Lawler can't catch a break as he'll head back to the shelf this weekend.

Some weeks, I end up having a theme for this piece, whether it's young pitchers, widely available pitchers, or maybe veterans having a late-career renaissance. But I have never focused on three pitchers who are all part of the same starting rotation before! Enter the St. Louis Cardinals, who, despite being picked to finish last […]

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman/outfielder Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) suffered a strained right hamstring in Friday's series opener against the visiting Minnesota Twins and will undergo an MRI exam on Saturday, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have changed right-hander Michael Soroka's (glute) injury to left-glute discomfort, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. He will undergo an MRI exam on Saturday after he was pulled from Friday's start against the Minnesota Twins early with what the team initially described as discomfort in his left hip. Soroka only made it […]

Managers have already begun to see the importance of stashing prospects. Those who got ahead of the curve and targeted players like Cole Carrigg, Henry Bolte, and Gage Jump ahead of their call-ups may have potentially secured a "lineup-lock" for the remainder of the season. Below, we will spotlight eight prospects who have showcased high-end […]

Happy Saturday, RotoBallers! I'm excited to get back at these HR picks after nailing a Matt Chapman homer at +830 last week. The hitters I'm looking at today don't have odds quite that long, but I do love their chances in some solid-looking matchups. There are two games in particular I'm really focused on where... […]

Finding high-end relievers before they fully claim the closer role will provide a major boost to their fantasy teams, especially when looking for saves.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman/outfielder Jordan Lawlar (undisclosed) was pulled from Friday night's game against the Minnesota Twins early at Chase Field with an undisclosed injury after beating out a bunt single in the eighth inning, according to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Before being removed prematurely, Lawlar went 2-for-4 at the plate with a strikeout. […]

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Michael Soroka (hip) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's outing against the Minnesota Twins. Soroka came out to warm up for the second inning and immediately signaled for the trainer. The right-hander would leave this game due to left hip discomfort. Before leaving, he tossed one inning and […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks are calling up right-handed pitching prospect Yilber Diaz from Triple-A Reno on Friday to replace right-hander Ryne Nelson (forearm) on the active MLB roster after he was diagnosed with a partially torn flexor tendon in his forearm, according to Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro. Diaz, the team's No. 22 prospect per MLB Pipeline, […]

Nelson is now facing an extended absence, although there is no specific timetable for when he might rejoin Arizona's starting rotation in the second half of […]

Arizona Diamondbacks veteran right-handed closer Paul Sewald doesn't light up the radar gun, is 36 years old, and has had his fair share of struggles in a high-leverage role in the past, but you can't argue with his results this year in the desert. The 10-year veteran has a 3.29 ERA (4.08 FIP), which also […]

We have a tremendous Friday night slate on tap. There are plenty of options to go around, so my biggest advice tonight is to avoid the spots that garner ownership, since there are plenty of opportunities to pivot. Let's find out where my favorite spots on tonight's slate are. If you have not had a... […]

The oft-injured backstop's 2026 season got off to a rough start when he suffered an oblique strain in early April, but he only missed about three weeks with […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt was optioned back to Triple-A on Monday as the team felt that he needed to work on hitting breaking pitches. Then, in his first game back with Reno on Wednesday, the D-backs' top-ranked prospect did just that, sending a German Marquez (forearm) knuckle-curve over the fence for his first […]
