Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of early-season overachievers. Each week of the fantasy baseball season, we look at which star players might be sell-high candidates. Last week, we dove into players like Matt Chapman, Sandy Alcantara, and Geraldo Perdomo. For this week, we'll analyze five more sell-high candidates. These five players should be moved […]

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 […]

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... […]

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.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Michael Soroka (hip) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's outing against the Minnesota Twins.

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.

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.

What if I told you that Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Mike Trout are all outside the top ten outfielders for fantasy baseball this season? Judge hasn't played since May and could be out a while. Soto is having a decent year, but a lack of run production is holding him back. And Trout has […]
