Top MLB Prospects Rankings: Impact Fantasy Baseball Call-Ups (Week 22)

It is September and MLB rosters have expanded to 28 players, up from 26. It is also the time of year when MLB prospects can come up, play for the rest of the season, and still be considered a prospect/rookie heading into next year. Below is a ranking of the players who will likely make […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 21

We're another week closer to the playoffs so fantasy and real life teams are starting to freak out just a bit. Five games back in July is still very much "in it" but those same five games back in September sure feels like being on the outside looking in. A few division races seem like […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Saturdays are still for baseball all-day if you ask me, but I suppose if you are a big college football fan then you are probably pretty pumped about kick-off weekend, too. My PSU Nittany Lions already won on Thursday night, so I have no interest in college football today, but I always have an interest […]

Nick Pivetta Leaves Friday's Start Early

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta left his Friday start against the Texas Rangers with a left calf contusion. Pivetta allowed one run on four hits over three innings while striking out two and walking two before the injury. He suffered the injury while making a play in the field in the third inning and […]

Alex Verdugo Enjoying Eight-Game Hitting Streak

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo swung the bat well Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, and three runs. The day extended his hitting streak to eight games and raised his batting average to .287.
