Arodys Vizcaino Weeks From Throwing
Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) is two to three weeks away from throwing, but the team still expects him to return this year. When exactly Vizcaino will return is unknown, but the longer he's out the happier the owners of A.J. Minter are. The Braves are looking for more […]
Ozzie Albies Expected To Return Thursday
Atlanta Braves infield prospect Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday. Infielder Charlie Culberson continues to fill in for Albies in the meantime. The young phenom has been out since tweaking his hamstring on Friday, but the injury isn't serious enough to land him on the disabled list. Be ready […]
Ozzie Albies Sitting Out on Monday
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Albies has now missed back-to-back contests after leaving during Friday's game due to a tight right hamstring. Luckily, the Braves are not putting Albies on the DL, and are calling the issue day-to-day. Charlie Culberson […]
Braves Discussing Marlins Relievers
The Atlanta Braves have discussed Miami Marlins relievers, which could include closer Kyle Barraclough and relief pitchers Drew Steckenrider or Adam Conley. Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos is known to be looking for controllable players if they are going to move talent from their farm system. It's unclear if any of the Marlins relievers would […]
Braves Scouting Cole Hamels
The Atlanta Braves have shown interest in Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels, and they are not one of the teams that need his permission to be dealt to, according to MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi. The Braves are trying to keep pace with the Phillies in the National League East and are trying to bolster […]
Braves Interested In Jonathan Scoop, Kevin Gausman, Dylan Bundy
The Atlanta Braves have shown interest in Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop and starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy. Getting out of Baltimore would be the best thing for the fantasy values of all three players. Schoop has been very disappointing after being an All-Star in 2017, and Gasuman and Bundy have been […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/23/18): MLB DFS Lineups
It’s a 13-game slate on Monday, which gives us a higher than usual amount of players to work with at the beginning of the week. There are five games on the schedule with an over/under of at least nine total runs. The OAK/TEX matchup leads the way with 11 total runs between them. As I […]
Dansby Swanson Drives In Both Runs As Braves Lose
Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson had a good day on Sunday. He was the only hitter that could plate runners, driving in two runs - the only runs for his team as they lost, 6-2. Plenty of other Braves hitters got hits - they tallied 14 in all - but that's all they could muster. […]
Mike Foltynewicz Gives Up Four Runs in Rain-Soaked Loss
It seemed like a couple of things conspired against Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz on Sunday afternoon. The weather kept sending the teams off the field for various rain delays. Also, the Nationals tagged him for four runs in his 5 2/3 innings of work. He struck out five and walked three. His next time […]
Ozzie Albies Out Of Lineup Sunday To Nurse Hamstring
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. Albies is day-to-day after leaving Friday's game early with a right hamstring injury. Charlie Culberson will get the start in his place. Culberson has posted a decent slash line this season (.266/.322/.444) but will face Nationals' ace […]

The Cut List (Week 17): Time to Let Go?
Welcome to Week 17 of the Cut List. This week I took a peek at Ender Inciarte, Jake Lamb, Carlos Santana, and Jurickson Profar. All four players should be cut in all shallow standard leagues. Each player listed in the “better options” section will serve you better in the long run, so don’t gloss over […]

Johan Camargo (2B/SS/3B, ATL) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Johan Camargo is a great addition in redraft leagues, but even better in dynasty leagues. Camargo has 31 runs and 40 RBI. Of his 31 runs, 20 came in the month of June. July hasn't been a spectacular month for him, but […]
Sean Newcomb Will Start on Monday
Saturday's Atlanta-Washington game has been postponed due to inclement weather. Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Newcomb, who was slated to start on Saturday, will now start Monday against the Marlins. This is good news for Newcomb owners as the Marlins are the second-worst team in the league against left-handed pitching. The only downside for fantasy owners […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: July 23rd-July 29th
When the All-Star break ends and the regular season resumes, the fantasy baseball weekly schedule needs to adjust, causing confusion between head-to-head and roto leagues when it comes to labeling articles. For example, last Saturday we posted our Week 16 Two-Start Pitchers piece. Now, if you’re in a H2H league, your Week 16 matchup started […]

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, […]
Johan Camargo Drives In Run In Braves Win
Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo started off the second half of the season on a good note, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. He's now got 40 on the year, which is not bad considering he missed the first few weeks. Camargo could give you 90 RBI, which is very strong output. He's no Nolan […]
A.J. Minter Gets Save No. 5 As Braves Beat Nats
It looks like Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter may get more save opportunities while Arodys Vizcaino is on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation. He got the save on Friday night, his fifth of the year. Who knows if Vizcaino can be reliable for the whole season? Atlanta's front office might want to get […]
Nick Markakis Drives In Run In Atlanta's Victory
There may be young, exciting players on the team, but Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis has been steady and dependable all season long. He drove in a run on Friday night, giving him 62 RBI. Just stick him in your lineup and relax. He'll keep producing for you.
Charlie Culberson Hits Homer To Help Braves Win
Atlanta Braves utility player Charlie Culberson was pressed into service on Friday night after Ozzie Albies left the game with hamstring tightness. Culberson went deep for his fifth homer of the season - and while that might not seem impressive (fantasy fans aren't paying attention, with like 2% owning him), he'd have a LOT more […]
Freddie Freeman Drives In Three As Braves Win
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman seemed unaffected by the so-called Home Run Derby jinx. He went 2-for-5 on Friday in his first action since the All-Star game and drove in three runs. Yes, he still remains a fixture for fantasy lineups. If you have him, you had darn well better be starting him.
Ronald Acuna Feasts Hitting First As Braves Win
It's way premature to dub Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna as being the next Rickey Henderson, one of the greatest leadoff hitters of all time, but he had a great showing Friday night. Acuna went 3-for-4 with a homer, two steals and was a triple shy of the cycle. The team did it to jolt […]
Anibal Sanchez Goes Six Innings To Get Win Over Nationals
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez wasn't totally sharp on Friday night, giving up two homers and walking three. He did strike out eight and got enough run support to make the three earned ones he surrendered moot. Sanchez has been a very pleasant pick-up for the Braves and he looks to continue that his […]
Ozzie Albies Left Game With Hamstring Tightness
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) was pulled from the team's game on Friday due to hamstring tightness. The reasoning behind Albies removal at the time was not known, but now it appears that he has escaped serious injury. The Braves have also said that his removal from the game was precautionary. Albies is […]
Ozzie Albies Leaves Game With Apparent Injury
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies was forced from the team's game on Friday with an apparent injury. It is not yet known exactly what the injury is and how severe it might be. The team will likely provide an update following the game. He was replaced at second by Charlie Culberson.
Max Fried Expected To Start Tuesday
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried is expected to start against the Marlins on Tuesday, according to manager Brian Snitker. Luiz Gohara, who was initially expected to start Tuesday, showed diminished velocity in his last start with Triple-A Gwinnett. Fried has only tossed 20 2/3 innings at the major league level this year and gave […]
Braves Discussing Zach Britton
The Atlanta Braves have talked to the Baltimore Orioles about closer Zach Britton. The Braves are seeking bullpen help and have a loaded farm system. Britton might be the most coveted trade chip now that Manny Machado has been dealt, and it seems like a foregone conclusion that Britton will be playing for a different […]
Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 17
While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 17. One-inning middle relievers are the constant sources for holds and specialists can manage to secure a hold even with one out. However, while specialists can get many […]
