Trevor Story Hitting In Three-Hole In Season Debut

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) is starting at shortstop and is hitting in the three-hole for Boston in his 2023 season debut on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Brady Singer. Story was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier on Tuesday after finally recovering from surgery on his right elbow […]

Justin Turner Resting Tuesday

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner will take the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Kansas City Royals. Outfielder Masataka Yoshida will serve as the team's designated hitter and will bat second against Royals right-hander Brady Singer. Turner has missed some time recently with a left-heel contusion, but he was able to serve […]

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Updated Rankings for 2023 Redraft (Week 20)

It was a relatively quiet week in the prospect world outside of Toronto's Davis Schneider getting the call and going downright bonkers over his first few games. Curtis Mead also was promoted but he's been fairly quiet over his first few games. All the remaining big names we're waiting for are still in the minors […]

Do These Prospects Matter for Fantasy Baseball? Ethan Salas, Aeverson Arteaga, Owen Caissie, and more

Every week Minor League Baseball highlights a host of players who have played well over the previous week. Usually, most of the players are ones that have already been mentioned in this series this season, but the past two weeks have highlighted a number of new prospects due to their recent success. After the big […]

Kutter Crawford: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

We are officially deep into August now, meaning that generic waiver wire adds are no longer possible. If your team is dominating the power categories and a rival drops Pete Alonso for some reason, you couldn't gain any points by picking him up. Likewise, Jorge Mateo could be a prudent add if a couple of […]

Adalberto Mondesi Increasing Baseball Activities

Boston Red Sox shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) has been ramping up baseball activities of late. Mondesi posted a video of himself taking grounders, running, and hitting on Monday ahead of his team's game against the Kansas City Royals. The speedy infielder has not played in a game yet this season after injuring his knee and […]

Garrett Whitlock Likely To Return Sunday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) will make a minor-league rehab appearance on Wednesday for Triple-A Worcester and work three innings before likely being activated from the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The Red Sox could still view Whitlock as a starter long term, but they will bring the […]

Chris Sale Likely To Start Friday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that left-hander Chris Sale (shoulder) will likely return from the 60-day injured list to start on Friday against the visiting Detroit Tigers. Sale made only two minor-league rehab appearances for Triple-A Worcester, so fantasy managers should not be expecting him to go very deep into Friday's game in […]

Red Sox Call Up Dinelson Lamet

The Boston Red Sox selected the contract of right-hander Dinelson Lamet from Triple-A Worcester on Monday and designated left-hander Richard Bleier for assignment in a corresponding move. Since signing a minor-league deal with Boston on June 28, Lamet has posted a 3.72 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, seven walks and 16 strikeouts in 19 1/3 innings over […]

Jarren Duran Hits The Bench Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is not in the starting lineup Monday night against the Kansas City Royals and left-hander Cole Ragans. Of course, it's hardly a surprise to see the lefty-swinging Duran hitting the bench against a southpaw pitcher but Rob Refsnyder, who will take over in center field and hit leadoff on […]

Trevor Story To Return Tuesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) decided that he's ready and will be activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. Story will make his 2023 debut against the Kansas City Royals after finishing up a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester. The 30-year-old looked good at the plate in 13 rehab games in […]
