Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

Managers can easily make decisions to affect their team positively, but often they're too hesitant, cautious, or even scared. Sometimes you have to make the hard choice to choose a player in the right circumstance to produce. These are the best players when we start streaming. We look at the matchups and other variables to […]

The Cut List (Week 8) - Time to Let Go?

May is half over. That's scarcely believable, but it's true. Much more believable but equally true: there are plenty of players that should be axed. April showers can't bring May flowers for everyone, and some players even got that proverb mixed up: they are following up April flowers with damp May production. This analogy is […]

Mike Foltynewicz Leaves Game Due To Heat, Dizziness

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz was having his best game of the season through six innings Sunday before exiting due to dizziness. Foltynewicz took just 67 pitches to get through the sixth inning, allowing two earned runs on three hits and striking out three. There was some injury concern since Foltynewicz had an at-bat […]

Mike Foltynewicz Leaves Game Early With Possible Injury

Atlanta Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz left Sunday's start early after throwing 67 pitches through six innings of work. The right-hander struck out in the bottom of the sixth inning possibly injuring himself on a swing as he curiously wasn't on the mound to begin the seventh.

Josh Donaldson is Sitting Out Against Brewers

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine day off for the slugging third baseman.

Weighing In On Zac Gallen

Zac Gallen isn't a name that anyone outside of prospect hounds and die-hard NL-only fantasy players will be aware of. I would include Marlins fans in that group but I'm not sure there are much of us around anymore. Gallen has emerged as an under-the-radar name that could jump onto the scene without any fanfare while […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 8 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 8

So uh...wow. Week 6 absolutely sucked for this column. Like, I'm surprised I still even have a job after that one. Griffin Canning was the winner of the Week 6 column, but that's not saying much. Canning went 1-1, allowing six runs over 10 innings while striking out 13. The other four guys on that […]
