Brad Hand Strikes Out the Side for a Save on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Brad Hand picked up his 32nd save of the season on Wednesday, striking out the side in the ninth inning to close out a 3-1 win for his team. With Cody Allen working the eighth inning ahead of Hand in this one, it looks like Hand is taking over the closer's […]

Jose Ramirez Getting Wednesday Off

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Mike Clevinger Pitches Well on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger pitched well again on Tuesday, picking up a win and a quality start. He pitched six innings, striking out 10 and allowing just one run in his fifth double digit strikeout game of the season.

Indians Put Josh Donaldson On DL

The Cleveland Indians placed third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) on the 10-day disabled list on Monday. The move is retroactive to Sept. 1. He will play third base and bat second for Triple-A Columbus on Monday. Donaldson was making some progress on a rehab assignment with Toronto before being traded to the Indians, so there's […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Champ or Chump: Josh Donaldson and Andrew McCutchen

The August waiver deadline has come and gone, leaving several brand name players with new home addresses. Gio Gonzalez joins Milwaukee's rotation even though the team already had plenty of bad pitchers. He's a total random number generator who might ruin your team's WHIP by walking six in three innings or your ERA by allowing […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 23

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 […]

Rajai Davis Activated From DL

The Cleveland Indians activated outfielder Rajai Davis from the disabled list when rosters expanded on Saturday. Davis has been out since late August with a non-baseball medical condition. He's mainly useful for his speed (16 stolen bases) in deeper leagues, and he'll be a platoon option in the Tribe's outfield from here on out.

Greg Allen (OF, CLE) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Greg Allen was an afterthought for most fantasy managers, as he seemed like just another speed option that provided zero power with a mediocre batting average. He is doing his best to change people’s opinion with his second-half performance. During that time (79 at-bats), […]

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has apparently been traded, according to a source of Jeff Passan. Donaldson being dealt seemed like an inevitability after the past few days, but the wait is over for Blue Jays fans and fantasy owners alike. It was rumored earlier in the day that the Cardinals, Yankees, Braves, […]

Andrew Miller Could Throw Sunday Or Monday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (shoulder) could resume throwing on Sunday or Monday. Miller's season has been a disappointing one due to injuries, and he hasn't been his dominant self as a result. He has a 3.38 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in just 24 innings on the year. The left-hander should be […]

Trevor Bauer To Be Re-Evaluated Saturday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) will be re-evaluated on Saturday. Bauer is dealing with a stress fracture in his leg and may not be able to pitch for the rest of the year. His fantasy owners should continue to hang onto him just in case, though, as he was having a Cy Young […]
