Mike Foltynewicz Designated For Assignment
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz was designated for assignment on Monday after he once again showed decreased velocity in a 14-5 drubbing by the Rays. Folty's velocity was also down during exhibition and intrasquad games in summer camp. He allowed Tampa to score six earned runs (three home runs) in just 3 1/3 innings, […]
William Contreras Starting On Monday
Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras will start behind the plate and bat ninth during Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. With Travis D'Arnaud and Tyler Flowers currently sidelined with COVID-19, Contreras has run with the opportunity afforded to him. He has gone 4-for-6 with an RBI through three appearances this season. The 22-year-old has […]

Entering week two and coming off a short week, give us a small sample to work with. This week, I will lean heavily on match-ups and potential for at-bats via lineup placement. There will be a few repeat names on this list due to the rostered percentage not rising and performance warranting an add. Before […]

Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2
There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]
Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 2
Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Mark Melancon (back) was held out of Saturday's game after his back tightened up prior to warm-ups.

The Braves won Saturday's game over the Mets 5-3, relying on relievers Darren […]
Champ or Chump: Nate Pearson
The MLB season is finally underway, and a lot of what fantasy owners "knew" before the first pitch has already fallen apart. Juan Soto has tested positive for COVID-19, leaving both the Nationals and a lot of fantasy rosters without a superstar talent for the foreseeable future. Clayton Kershaw was scratched from his Opening Day […]

Never have I been happier to fire up MLB Extra Innings […]
Mike Soroka Stellar In Season Debut
Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Soroka tossed six scoreless innings against the New York Mets on Opening Day but came away with a no-decision. He struck out three batters without issuing a walk, but it was not enough, as the Braves lost 1-0. Regardless, it was an impressive performance for the Canadian right-hander. Soroka was a […]
Prospects To Cut Loose In Dynasty Leagues
The dynasty format requires an owner to consider both the immediate and future implications of draft picks, trades, and waiver wire moves. Viewing roster decisions through two lenses, both present and long-term future makes fantasy baseball much more strategic and, unfortunately, much less forgiving. Any wrong move lives with you for years and makes you […]

2020 MLB Futures - Betting Picks and Sleepers
Major League Baseball’s revised 60-game season starts Thursday, so here are some last-minute 2020 MLB sleeper bets you can make on DraftKings Sportsbook, if your state permits.
