Hey RotoBallers! Hope all is well in your world. Unfortunately it's the same old song and dance over here after Week 11. Six out of the seven days last week were what I would call "productive" in that I either profited some or broke even on a play or two that could've swung either way. […]

Christian Vazquez Records Three Hits Friday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez had a strong game Friday, going 3-for-4 with a double against the Kansas City Royals. Vazquez has been stuck on three home runs since May 19, but he's done a good job lately of getting on-base. Fantasy managers will surely want to see more power out of the veteran […]

Rafael Devers Smacks 17th Home Run

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers hit his 17th home run of the year in Friday's contest against the Royals. The solo shot came in the top of the eighth inning off reliever Scott Barlow and was Devers' only hit in four at-bats. Devers now carries a very healthy .921 OPS on the year, […]

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo played the hero once again Wednesday night, pinch-hitting with the bases loaded and producing a go-ahead grand slam. The home run, Arroyo's fourth of the season, put the Red Sox ahead for good. Arroyo is slugging .619 over his last seven games, and has home runs in three […]

Christian Vazquez Exits With Stomach Illness

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez (illness) left Wednesday night's game early, and was replaced by fellow backstop Kevin Plawecki. It was later reported that this was not the result of any injury, but that he had been experiencing a "stomach illness." He was 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored before exiting. Fantasy […]

Adam Ottavino Collects Fourth Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino collected his fourth save of the year Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits to the Atlanta Braves in a 10-8 victory.
