Evaluating MLB Rookie Performances for Fantasy Baseball - Week 10

While this past week didn’t feature as many headline-grabbing MLB debuts as previous weeks, there was certainly no shortage of prospect call-ups around the league.

Must-Add Category Streamers for the Final Stretch

Sadly, just 10 days of baseball remain in the MLB regular season and the fantasy season. At least the commissioner was nice enough to let everyone into the postseason, so there'll be plenty more ball games on the tube to watch. Unfortunately, fantasy leagues don't work that way. You're in the last leg of the […]

It feels like the season just started. Remember drafting your team? Remember how excited you were about your roster?

Rafael Devers Begins To Heat Up Down The Stretch In 2020

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers socked a three-run home run Thursday versus Miami, an exclamation point on his return to elite status. After a dreadfully slow start to 2020, Devers has mauled the ball in September with a gaudy .397/.453/.759 slash line. It was just a year ago that Devers’ 359 total bases […]

Yairo Munoz Departs Thursday’s Contest Early
