Tyler Gilbert To Start For Diamondbacks On Tuesday

The Arizona Diamondbacks will be calling up starting pitcher Tyler Gilbert from Triple-A Reno and he will be the team's starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 28-year-old has had a rough year on the mound thus far. Over three appearances (two starts) for the Diamondbacks in 2021, he's gone 0-2 with […]

J.B. Bukauskas Experiencing Hamstring Tightness

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher J.B. Bukauskas (shoulder, hamstring) was slated to throw a live pitching session this week.

Madison Bumgarner Gets Hit Around In Monday Loss

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner fell to 2-5 in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Reds.

Peralta got banged up after making a diving catch during the third inning and was replaced in left field by Cooper Hummel after going 0-for-1 at the plate. The 34-year-old veteran is hitting .238 with eight homers, 16 runs, and […]

Dallas Keuchel Signs With Diamondbacks

Free-agent left-hander Dallas Keuchel signed a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Keuchel was designated for assignment and ultimately released by the Chicago White Sox in late May after going 2-5 with a 7.88 ERA, 2.16 WHIP, 20 strikeouts and 20 walks in 32 innings over eight starts. He will initially report […]

Luke Weaver To Make Another Rehab Appearance

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Luke Weaver (elbow) is scheduled to make another minor league rehab appearance this week. The young right-hander threw 43 pitching during an two inning outing on Thursday. The Diamondbacks want Weaver to get through three innings of work before activating him. There's a good chance that he returns as a multi […]

2B/SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball Week 9

As the baseball season barrels along, we're finally starting to see more offense league-wide which has made finding useful waiver wire options easier.

Catcher Waiver Wire Targets for Fantasy Baseball: ROS Strategy and Landscape

Every year we hear about how awful the catcher landscape is in fantasy baseball. People bemoan having to roster one and laugh at those who play in leagues where they have to carry two. However, catchers are people too. OK, we're actually not going to go down that road this time. Instead, we're going to […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 9

The 25-year-old Tucker, who is a former first-round pick, was designated for assignment by the Pirates back on May 30.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/4/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We had yet another very high-scoring slate on Friday night, which was probably to be expected with some aces on the hill and some really good offenses with good match-ups, too. If your lineups are scoring a bunch of points and you're still only min-cashing, don't fret! You're in good company because I have had […]

Zac Gallen Not Going Anywhere

Teams are hopeful that the Arizona Diamondbacks might trade starting pitcher Zac Gallen this summer, but they understand that Arizona will keep him "unless they get an offer they can't refuse." "Everyone would want him. Won't happen," said a Diamondbacks person. Gallen had a nice bounce-back outing against the Atlanta Braves his last time out […]
