Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 11

Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon.

Brad Hand Throws an Excellent Inning and Earns His 19th Save

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand was excellent on Friday, striking out the side on just 12 pitches. He earned his 19th save and lowered his ERA to 1.01. There have been some rumors of Hand being on the trading block, but he's been so great that he's a pretty safe bet to stay in the […]

Zach Plesac Excels in His First Big League Win

Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Zach Plesac pitched very well on Friday, picking up the first win of his major league career. Plesac went seven innings, allowing just two runs on six hits and a walk. He struck out five and allowed a home run. His record evens out at 1-1 and his ERA sits […]

Mike Clevinger Hit Hard In Rehab Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (back) allowed four earned runs on three hits while walking two and striking out four in just two innings in his rehab start with Triple-A Columbus on Thursday. The thing to take away from this was that Clevinger came out of the start healthy and might only need one […]

Bauer tossed 119 pitches, allowing three home runs and taking his sixth loss of the year. Bauer saw his record drop to 4-6 and his ERA went […]

Oscar Mercado Not Playing Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Jordan Luplow is in left field and batting sixth, while Tyler Naquin is in right field and is hitting seventh against Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios. Both Luplow and Naquin are intriguing in deep mixed and AL-only leagues with semi-regular playing time […]

Digger Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 10

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 […]

Champ or Chump: Zach Plesac and Mallex Smith

The calendar has officially flipped to June, which means that your league's standings page now contains useful information. No, it's not time to give up on your sixth-place team. Instead, it's time to pinpoint your unique areas of need and then make trade proposals and waiver wire acquisitions accordingly. For example, maybe the league-wide dearth […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 10)

It was a quiet week for prospect promotions and catcher Will Smith was the only position player who was promoted and stuck. He’s had some swing-and-miss to his game but he’s hitting .286 with a home run through his first 14 MLB at-bats. Jon Duplantier got another recall to The Show and was gifted with […]

Jose Ramirez Drives in Three Runs on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez drove in three runs on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two singles. It was a solid game for Ramirez, but 2019 has not been kind to him, as he's slashing just .207/.306/.311. He was widely viewed as a superstar after an 8-WAR 2018 season, but he just hasn't been able to […]

Brad Hand Lowers His ERA to 1.05 With His 18th Save

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand saved another game on Wednesday, his 18th. He tossed a perfect inning including a strikeout, closing out a 9-7 win over the Twins. Hand lowered his ERA to 1.05 and needed just 12 pitches, making quick work of the ninth inning. He's somewhat quietly one of the best closers in […]

Tyler Clippard Struggles as the Opener on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Tyler Clippard served as the opener on Wednesday, but struggled, allowing two runs on two hits in 1 1/3 innings. Clippard actually got through a scoreless first inning, but sending him out for the second proved to be a mistake. He's been a decent enough middle reliever this season, but doesn't […]

Adam Plutko To Start Saturday Against Yanks

Cleveland Indians pitcher Adam Plutko will make the start on Saturday against the Yankees. Plutko has made two starts for the Tribe this year with mixed results (6.35 ERA). He allowed a run in six innings for a win against the Orioles and was tattooed for 12 hits (four homers) and seven earned runs in […]

Tyler Naquin is in the Lineup Wednesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Naquin was activated off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He missed roughly a month due to a knee issue. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat ninth against lefty Martin Perez on Wednesday. Naquin should be […]

Leonys Martin Out Wednesday, Oscar Mercado To Get Start

Cleveland Indians outfielder Leonys Martin will get the day off Wednesday against Minnesota Twins left-hander Martin Perez. In his place in center field will be rookie outfielder Oscar Mercado. Mercado has had a decent start to his big league career but needs to lower his strikeout rate and have more patience at the plate if […]

Tyler Clippard Now Starting Wednesday for Indians

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Tyler Clippard will open Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins after scheduled starter Carlos Carrasco was placed on the injured list with a blood condition. It is not clear who if anyone will pitch the bulk of the innings for Cleveland or whether it will be a bullpen game. With this […]

Carlos Carrasco To Injured List With Blood Condition

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco has been placed on the injured list, retroactive to June 2, with what is being called a "non-baseball, medical condition." Carrasco has apparently felt lethargic for weeks and is stepping away from baseball for now in order to take care of his health. The Indians do expect Carrasco back […]
