J.D. Martinez Back In The Lineup Against Astros

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Jose Urquidy and the Houston Astros. Martinez fouled a ball off of his foot in Saturday's game.

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

This weekend marked the triumphant return of CI-eligible Cody Bellinger. He was likely the highest drafted or most costly CI a team selected to start the season.

This is Renfroe's third straight multi-hit game, as he's gone 7-for-11 with 14 total bases in that span. Renfroe is generally a single-category fantasy producer with his power game, but he could […]
