Closers and Saves Report - Week 22 Waiver Wire

With some leagues already starting the playoffs and others about to, saves and holds are getting more and more critical to fantasy success each week. Roto league managers will want a few more to move up or to keep their top spot, while head-to-head managers will want to ensure that they have more than their […]

Recent Velocity Decliners - Arms To Abandon

We are about to turn the calendar to September, which means that a lot of the league's starting pitchers have gone through a five-month slog putting a ton of work on their throwing arms. This was possibly even a tougher challenge in 2021 after the shortened 2020 season severely reduced the requested workloads that these […]

Bobby Dalbec Homers Twice, Drives In Seven

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec had the game of his life Thursday night, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored, and seven RBI against the Minnesota Twins. He's slashing .395/.477/.921 with five home runs and 19 RBI in his last 15 games, a time frame which, perhaps coincidentally, coincides with the […]

Chris Sale Strikes Out Eight Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale once again looked very strong, striking out eight Minnesota Twins in 5 1/3 innings Wednesday. He allowed two runs on two hits and two walks, with the only blemish being a two-run home run by Willians Astudillo. Sale also accomplished his third career immaculate inning in the third […]

Christian Vazquez Tallies Two Hits In Wednesday's Loss

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the team's 9-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. It was his third multi-hit game of the month. Vazquez has had a quiet year offensively, especially from a power perspective. He has hit just one home run since late June, despite seeing […]

Hansel Robles Implodes Wednesday Night

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles may have been the new favorite for saves before Wednesday night's game, but he probably isn't any longer. Robles entered for the top of the 10th inning, and gave up five runs (four earned) on three hits with one strikeout. Two of those hits allowed were home runs. […]

Nick Pivetta Lasts Four Innings Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta only managed to last four innings against the Minnesota Twins Wednesday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks. He struck out five batters and yielded two home runs. That makes back-to-back tough starts for Pivetta, who didn't make it out of the second inning in […]

Kyle Schwarber Hits First Boston Homer

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber came through with his first Beantown home run Wednesday night, delivering a game-tying two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth. He went 3-for-6 in the extra-inning loss. Schwarber has picked up right where he left off in Boston, slashing .379/.514/.586 in his first 37 plate appearances with the […]

Kike Hernandez Adds Late Home Run Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez had a big day at the plate Wednesday night, going 3-for-6 with a double, a home run, and two runs scored, but unfortunately it was not enough to avoid a 9-6 extra-inning loss to the Minnesota Twins. Hernandez has now homered in back-to-back games, and is slashing .321/.443/.518 […]

Hansel Robles Earns First Boston Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles was "excelente" Tuesday, according to manager Alex Cora. Robles entered the game in relief of Matt Barnes in the ninth inning with a two-run lead and two runners on, and he didn't allow either run to come around to score, giving up no runs and no hits with […]

Matt Barnes Pulled Without Recording An Out

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes added fuel to his dumpster fire of a month Tuesday, failing to record an out in the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins. Barnes came on with a three-run lead, but was pulled after yielding a solo home run and two consecutive walks. Hansel Robles managed to close […]

Tanner Houck Allows Three Runs To The Twins

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck lasted 4 2/3 innings Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk to the Minnesota Twins in a no-decision. He struck out six batters. Boston was surely looking for more length from Houck, but this is what fantasy managers can expect for the rest of the […]

Travis Shaw Adds Solo Shot Tuesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Travis Shaw homered for the second time in this stint with the club on Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and the big fly against the Minnesota Twins. He struck out in his other two times at the plate. Shaw is making good on his opportunities thus far, but his playing […]

Hunter Renfroe Smashes Two More Homers

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe smashed two more homers Tuesday, giving him 25 for the season. Renfroe went 2-for-4 with five RBI in an 11-9 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Renfroe now has five homers in his last four games, and they're not cheap shots, as Renfroe leads the majors in average home run […]

Alex Verdugo Doubles Twice, Reaches Four Times

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo continued his hot streak Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins, going 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored. It's his second consecutive three-hit game, and he's now slashing .383/.449/.600 in 60 August at-bats. It hasn't been a banner year for the lefty swinger, but he's […]

Kike Hernandez Hits Big Insurance Homer

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez added a big two-run home run in the ninth inning Tuesday to ensure an 11-9 victory over the Minnesota Twins. He went 2-for-5 in the game with two runs scored. It's his first home run since August 4, but that hasn't stopped him from having a very successful […]
