NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 14

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 […]

Francisco Lindor Drives in Seven Runs on Monday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor had an amazing game on Monday night, hitting a grand slam and a three-run home run. It was the first seven-RBI game for a Cleveland player since April of 2015. Lindor got off to a mediocre-at-best start to the season, but he's now hit 23 home runs and leads the […]

Corey Kluber Does Just Enough to Notch a Quality Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber did just enough to record a quality start on Monday, allowing three runs in six innings against the Kansas City Royals. He picked up a win as well, with the Cleveland offense providing plenty of support. It wasn't a great start by Kluber, but it was a good enough […]

Lonnie Chisenhall Heads Back to the Disabled List

Cleveland Indians outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) will be placed back on the disabled list. Chisenhall was a late scratch from Monday's game but will need more time to heal due to a moderate left calf strain. A similar injury to his right calf had him spend almost two months on the DL earlier this season, […]

Danny Salazar Officially Done for 2018

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Danny Salazar (shoulder) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Monday. He will miss the rest of the 2018 season and will not throw for 12 to 18 weeks. Salazar was unable to pitch in 2018 and can be dropped in all fantasy leagues.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a nice nine game slate for this Monday evening. There are a number of good pitching options, highlighted by Max Scherzer and Corey Kluber.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/2/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a rare fourth of July on a Wednesday, so there’s no true “holiday weekend.” That effects the DFS community because we would typically have a full, 15-game slate to work with on the extended weekend. Instead, there is only 10 games on Monday, and one of those matchups is starting at 1:07pm EST […]

Trading Up: Javier Baez

Before the season, Chicago Cubs manager, Joe “Hates Your Fantasy Baseball Team” Maddon challenged Javier Baez to make himself so productive that Maddon would be forced to start Baez every day. Many fantasy owners are well aware of Maddon’s tendency to split playing time between several strong players, thereby decreasing their volume and consequently their […]

Mike Clevinger Puts Together Another Quality Start on Sunday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger put up a quality start on Sunday, tossing six innings while allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks. He improved his record to 7-3 with the 106-pitch effort. Clevinger has been an amazing late-round pickup in drafts this season, and he'll take on the Oakland A's again […]

Danny Salazar To Undergo Surgery Monday

Cleveland Indians pitcher Danny Salazar will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on Monday. Salazar has been on the disabled list all season and it looks like he will stay there for the remainder of it. Still, Salazar is owned in 21% of leagues, and that number needs to be greatly reduced as he […]

Carlos Carrasco To Start Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco is set to come off the disabled list and start Friday nights game against the Athletics. Carrasco had a rehab start on Saturday with Double-A Akron in which he hit 97 mph with his fastball. The velocity being back is very encouraging and hopefully Carrasco can start to become […]

The Cut List (Week 14): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 14 of the Cut List. In this edition, I take a look at the recent performances of Joey Gallo, Tommy Pham, Travis Shaw, and Kyle Hendricks. Has Gallo underperformed expectations? Why is Pham hitting .246? Is Shaw not the bonafide slugger we thought he was? Is Hendricks viable in standard leagues? I […]

Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 14

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 14. One-inning middle relievers are the constant sources for holds and specialists can manage to secure a hold even with one out. However, while specialists can get many […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago 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 roster […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire - Catcher

The 2018 Fantasy Baseball season has not been kind to catchers. The highest ranked catcher is J.T. Realmuto. Players like Wilson Ramos and Evan Gattis rank higher than Buster Posey, while fantasy darlings such as Gary Sanchez and Willson Contreras rank ninth and 11th among catchers respectably. Due to the amount of uncertainty at the […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 13)

Nick Senzel's season came to an unfortunate end this past week when it was announced that he would need season-ending surgery. Those of you stashing the infielder in redraft leagues can safely drop him to stash another prospect. I suggest Kyle Tucker; the Astros front office has given Tucker rave reviews and indicated that he […]

This trend continued on Wednesday as Kipnis went 2-for-4 and knocked in a run while scoring […]
