Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, June 3 (unless otherwise noted).

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 10

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Adam Jones Forced Out Due To Tight Hamstring

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to what the club is calling right hamstring tightness. Jones might have tweaked something running down the first-base line during the third inning. Outfielder Tim Locastro replaced Jones in right field. The severity of the injury is […]

Christian Walker Goes Yard on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker went deep in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Walker went 1-for-3 but provided the lone run off Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler, who dominated the D-backs. The young first baseman has been struggling of late, but he does have 11 home runs this season and showed vast […]
