Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 9

And we're back for another week of two-start streaming options as we head into Memorial Day weekend. Rotoballer hasn't fired me yet, so let's keep it up and look at who we got this week. First off, Week 7 went a LOT better for this column than Week 6 (not that it would take much […]

Matt Joyce to Bereavement List, Kyle Wright Recalled

Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Joyce was placed on the bereavement list Friday after the passing of his uncle, and starting pitcher Kyle Wright was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take his roster space.

Keston Hiura Deserves Your Attention

Prospect call-ups have been getting all the baseball headlines recently - Austin Riley has been mashing, Brendan Rodgers has Coors Field, and fantasy owners are salivating over the presumed promotion of uber-prospect Yordan Alvarez. Oh, and some guy named Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is getting his first taste of the majors, no big deal. With all […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/24/19): MLB DFS Lineups

This Friday slate is absolutely packed as usual. There are 14 games in the main slate starting at 7:05pm. There's an early 2:20pm start at Wrigley field as the Cubs host the Reds, which adds a 15th game to the all day slate. Most of the money will be centered around the main slate so […]

Nick Markakis Gets Day Off Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is getting the day off Thursday afternoon in San Francisco. Markakis has followed up his All-Star season last year with a similar line so far this year.

Champ or Chump: Brendan Rodgers and Austin Riley

The top prospects have been getting called up quickly of late, giving us plenty of options who warrant a closer look. Let's go with 22-year-old kids who took a big step forward at Triple-A this season, are infielders technically playing out of position at the big league level, and were drafted in 2015. Those criteria […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 8)

Even with all the promotions this season already, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/23/19): MLB DFS Lineups

This Thursday slate is absolutely bizarre. There are 10 games in total, but four of them start between 12 and 1 pm, and there is only one game after 7 pm. That means a strange split of the slates on DraftKings. There is a six-game slate beginning at 12:10 pm, with a two-game slate beginning […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 8

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 […]

Ender Inciarte Yet To Begin Baseball Activities

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte hasn't begun any baseball activities yet as he sits on the IL with a lumbar strain. The 28-year-old is expected to be out of the Braves lineup for about another month, and he may be relegated to a bench role upon arrival. With Austin Riley crushing it at the big […]

Ozzie Albies Resting Tuesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Johan Camargo will start at second base and bat eighth against Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson on Tuesday evening. Albies has slowed down in May, hitting .218 (17-for-78) with a homer, nine RBI and one steal, so hopefully this day of […]

Austin Riley Hits Another Home Run On Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley was 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during a 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

Sean Newcomb Picks Up His First Save Of The Season

Atlanta Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb fired a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save during a 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants. It was the first save opportunity of the year for the 25-year-old.

Ronald Acuna Hammers Two Home Runs On Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna was 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk during Monday's 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants.

Nicky Lopez - Welcome to the Show!

Amidst a week headlined by the call-ups of top prospects Keston Hiura, Brendan Rodgers and Austin Riley, it was easy to miss the Royals’ promotion of middle infielder Nicky Lopez.
