Garrett Cooper Hitless In Rehab Outing

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (wrist) was 0-for-2 with a walk in five innings in left field in his minor league rehab outing on Friday.

Jose Urena is Appealing His Six-Game Suspension

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena is reportedly appealing his six-game suspension. Urena was fined and suspended after intentionally hitting Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna with a pitch on Wednesday.

Garrett Cooper Beginning Rehab Assignment Friday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (wrist) will start his rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter on Friday.

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 21. 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 […]

Jose Urena Suspended Six Games

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena has been suspended six games for intentionally hitting Braves' outfielder Ronald Acuna on Wednesday. The MLB has fined Urena and suspended him for six games, but he might not even miss a start. The Marlins may move around their staff, so Urena does not even miss his turn in […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 20)

A handful of intriguing rookies made their MLB debuts this past week, with two of the top 100 prospects according to MLB Pipeline joining The Show. Save for Jansen, I do not really foresee any of the recently promoted prospects being impact players, at least for fantasy, down the stretch, so it still remained a […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 20

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 […]

Martin Prado Lands on Disabled List

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado (quad) has been placed on the disabled list on Monday. Prado was forced to leave the first game of a doubleheader versus the Atlanta Braves after just one-bat.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 20

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: San Diego Padres catcher Austin Hedges looks like he is turning the corner after a 2017 season with a sub-par .660 OPS.
