AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 25

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Steals 16th Base On Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. was 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New York Mets. Bradley has been an inconsistent offensive performer this season. He has had his fair share of hot streaks, but for the most part, he has been a fantasy afterthought. Bradley has a .232 […]

Andrew Benintendi Mired In Lengthy Slump

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi was 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New York Mets. Benintendi is just 28-for-123 (.228) at the plate in his last 30 games with two homers, 14 RBI, and no stolen bases. The 24-year-old has been a consistent performer for the entire season, but […]

Brock Holt Hits Two-Run Blast On Sunday

Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt was 1-for-4 at the plate with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New York Mets. Holt now has five homers on the season, to go along with 41 RBI, 33 runs scored, seven stolen bases, and a .262 average. His fantasy value is severely capped […]

Chris Sale Strong In Another Shortened Start

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale tossed three scoreless innings while only allowing a single hit in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New York Mets. Sale recorded a single strikeout without issuing a walk. The 29-year-old has a 12-4 record on the season to go along with a 1.92 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 222/33 K/BB […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Be Fine

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (side) is expected to be fine, and manager Alex Cora expects the star outfielder to play on Tuesday against the Yankees. Betts left the game early on Sunday with an injury, but his fantasy owners can let out a huge sigh of relief. One of the most exciting and […]

Mookie Betts Injured Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (side) left the game early on Sunday with left side soreness. Betts was on the disabled list from May 29 to June 11 with an abdominal strain on his left side, so this is very concerning for one of the best overall players in baseball. He was hitless in […]

Xander Bogaerts Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Mets

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. Nothing was reported in terms of injury, so this is just a routine day off. Brock Holt will start in his place. The Red Sox will face ace Jacob deGrom, so Holt should be avoided in daily […]

William Cuevas Struggles In Short Start On Friday

Boston Red Sox pitcher William Cuevas only lasted two innings in Friday's 8-0 loss to the New York Mets. He allowed two runs on three hits while striking out four batters and walking one. Hector Velazquez was originally scheduled to start the game for the Red Sox, but he was scratched due to an illness. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/14/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Friday, my fellow fantasy addicts. I can't believe we only have a few of these regular season Fridays left together - the season has really flown by, but at least the tight pennant races should make what we have left a very interesting segment of the season. The Cubs are home today, but, they […]

Craig Kimbrel Records 40th Save Of Season

Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth inning to close out Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He induced two fly-outs and got Danny Jansen to go down swinging. Kimbrel has returned to stellar form after a couple of inept weeks in August. He has yet to allow a hit […]

Rafael Devers Blasts Solo Homer On Thursday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers entered Thursday's game after Eduardo Nunez left with a knee injury. The 21-year-old proceeded to go 1-for-2 with a solo homer in a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The talented Devers has experienced a sophomore slump this season, as he has endured some painful cold streaks. […]

J.D. Martinez Smacks 41st Homer Of The Season

Boston Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez just continues to crush baseballs. The 31-year-old was 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. It was the 41st blast of the season for Martinez, which ties him with Khris Davis for the MLB lead. Martinez is slashing .330/.400/.634 with 122 RBI, […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Tosses Quality Start On Thursday

Boston Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez went six innings, allowing one run on five hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Rodriguez struck out seven batters without walking anyone. He left the game with a lead, but the bullpen collapsed and saddled Rodriguez with a no-decision. Regardless, it was a nice bounce-back […]

Hector Velazquez Scratched From Start

Boston Red Sox pitcher Hector Velazquez (illness) has been scratched from his start on Friday due to illness. William Cuevas will instead make the start against the Mets in what is likely to be a bullpen game now. Cuevas has made just four appearances in the big leagues this year (7 1/3 innings) and all […]

Week 25 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Eduardo Nunez Won't Play Friday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee), who left the game early with a sore right knee on Thursday, will not play on Friday but could return to play Saturday. It doesn't appear Nunez's injury is too serious, but they'll give him a game to rest. Nunez doesn't have the […]

Eduardo Nunez Leaves Game Early Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game early on Thursday with right knee soreness, but he's being listed as day-to-day. Nunez had a double in two plate appearances before departing this contest. He's hitting .262/.287/.387 with 10 home runs, 55 runs scored, 44 RBI and seven steals on the season and should […]

Blake Swihart is Back in The Lineup on Thursday

Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Swihart has not seen much playing time lately, but could see more down the stretch of the season. He'll bat sixth and serve as the DH against righty Sam Gaviglio. It's tough to trust Swihart […]

Mookie Betts is Sitting Out on Thursday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This looks like a routine day off for Betts, so he should be back in the lineup on Friday. J.D. Martinez will play right field and bat cleanup versus righty Sam Gaviglio. Martinez should […]

David Price Twirls Gem On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starter David Price was excellent on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. He went seven shutout innings, only allowing three hits while striking out seven batters. His record improved to 15-6 on the season to go along with a 3.42 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a 169/43 K/BB ratio. With that in mind, […]

Welcome to Week 24 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. September has finally arrived, which means the homestretch of 2018 is upon us. Most fantasy baseball leagues have already had their trade deadlines come and […]

Nathan Eovaldi To Start Tuesday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is scheduled to start next Tuesday against the Yankees on the road. Eovaldi allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings of relief on Tuesday against Toronto and hasn't started a game since Sept. 3. The hard-throwing right-hander hasn't gone over five innings since Aug. 21 against the Indians, so […]

Chris Sale Scheduled To Start Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale is scheduled to start Sunday against the Mets, and the goal is for him to go three innings this time. Sale struck out two hitters against the Blue Jays on Tuesday and is being eased back in so he'll be at 100 percent for the postseason. That won't […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

On deck for today? One of the last doubleheader slates of the year - and this is one of just a few times in recent memory that both slates have been worth playing. The early slate (4 game) features a ridiculous amount of pitching talent and the eight game Main slate has a solid offering […]
