The Cut List (Week 20) - Time to Let Go?

It's now really getting to that point in the fantasy season where cuts are going to be highly based on statistical needs, which are much more obvious now than they were in April and May. This is more true of hitters, whose production in each statistic can vary more widely than for pitchers. Additionally, with the […]

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Chris Owings has been called up by the organization on Sunday. Owings hit .133 with two home runs and nine runs knocked in with the Royals earlier this season.

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 20

The season rolls on and fantasy managers need to continue analyzing their roster with an eye on categories instead of just adding any random player. This week the primary focus for outfield additions will be to maximize venues. Some might cause a little tingle of concern when you read their name. Don't be afraid. Do […]

Sam Travis Hits Third Home Run in Four Games

Boston first baseman Sam Travis hit his third home run in four games on Saturday in a 12-4 losing effort against the visiting Angels. Travis doesn't usually start versus right-handers, thereby not making him viable in weekly leagues, but the 25-year-old has been a lefty masher of late and can be a useful stream in […]

David Price "Feeling Better" After Cortisone Shot

Boston Red Sox starter David Price received a cortisone shot on his injured wrist that forced him to the IL earlier this week. He stated he's "feeling better" and was able to do some exercises, but manager Alex Cora has yet to give a timetable for a return. Price said he felt the issue four […]

Andrew Benintendi Won't Play Versus Lefty

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Benintendi will get a routine day off here at the plate versus the left-handed starter. Sam Travis will cover left field and bat cleanup versus lefty Andrew Heaney. Travis is in a favorable part […]

Rafael Devers Sits Out on Saturday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Devers had a strong performance on Friday, so this appears to be a routine day off. Michael Chavis will cover third base and bat sixth versus lefty Andrew Heaney. Chavis has been decent […]

Mitch Moreland Slugs First Home Run Since May

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland went 2-for-5 with a home run and three runs batted in on Friday. Moreland has been dealing with injuries all season, but his two-run shot in the eighth inning was his 14th of the season and his first since May 21. When he's on the field, he has […]

J.D. Martinez Drives In Four On Friday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez went 4-for-5 with two home runs, two doubles, four runs scored, and four runs batted in during Friday's win over the Angels. Martinez has been on an absolute tear in August, batting .469 with four homers, eight RBI, and nine runs scored, while currently riding an eight-game hitting […]

Rafael Devers Has Been Boom Or Bust In August

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers finished 2-for-5 with three runs batted in during Friday's victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Devers notched a two-RBI single in the sixth inning before slugging his 24th homer of the year in the eighth. In August, Devers has just seven hits, but four of them have gone […]

Mookie Betts Homers On Friday

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in during Friday's 16-4 win over the Angels. Betts entered the stands in the fifth inning, marking his 20th homer of the season. August hasn't been so kind to the 26-year-old, as he's batting just .211 with two home runs and five […]

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 5. Price has a triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) cyst in his left wrist.

Nathan Eovaldi Has Bittersweet Appearance On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Nathan Eovaldi went two innings and surrendered the game-tying run in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game that was suspended at a 4-4 tie in the 10th inning. Eovaldi fanned five hitters but also allowed three hits in the outing. Things haven't gone as planned for the 29-year-old since returning […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Effective In Suspended Game

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez went five complete innings after allowing two runs on seven hits, while walking three and striking out one in a game that was tied at four before play was suspended in the 10th inning due to rain. It's a backwards stat line, but Rodriguez gave the Red Sox […]
