Paul Goldschmidt Not in Sunday's Lineup

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is not in Sunday's lineup when they conclude a series against the Boston Red Sox. Instead, Ben Rice will cover first base and bat in the two-hole. The 37-year-old has been a staple in the New York starting nine throughout the campaign. Over his previous eight games, Goldschmidt […]

Chandler Simpson - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level. In his time in the majors, he hit .285 with 19 stolen bases in 35 games. Unfortunately, being a valuable fantasy player […]

Brady House - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A. While this was very cute and should improve the vibes a little bit in Washington, I don't think Bruce the Bat Dog will help […]

Samuel Basallo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]

Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]

Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A. The A's just got swept by the Angels, bringing their record to 26-44. While plays like Denzel Clarke's HR robbery can generate a spark for a team, the A's might need […]

Chase DeLauter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Chase DeLauter has been one of the most snake-bitten prospects in the minors. When he's on the field, he's shown tremendous upside, but he hasn't been on the field a lot. He didn't play at all in 2022 after getting drafted in the first round […]

Bubba Chandler - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Pirates' home schedule is not favorable with how Bubba Chandler lines up the next few weeks, and walking four batters on Wednesday and not getting out of the first inning also isn't doing him any favors. While his walk rate ballooned during the start, Chandler […]

Luis Gil Unlikely to Return Until After All-Star Break

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil (lat) is reportedly unlikely to return until after the All-Star break. Gil resumed throwing the baseball towards the end of May, but he still has more work to do. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Gil won't face live hitters for another week or two. Given the timetable of […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Returning on Saturday

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (groin) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Chisholm will make his way back into the lineup after missing two games due to a groin issue. It appears a few days of rest has helped as Chisholm is back in […]

Christian Moore - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: Now ANALYSIS: On Thursday evening, the Angels announced they were promoting their top-ranked prospect, infielder Christian Moore, to the major leagues.

Aaron Judge Hits Mammoth Home Run in Loss

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge crushed his 26th home run of the season in a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Judge struck out in his first three at-bats against star southpaw Garrett Crochet, but he got a measure of revenge in the top of the ninth inning. With Boston leading […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Still Out on Friday

New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (groin) remains out of action for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Oswald Peraza will make another start at the hot corner and will hit ninth against Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet. The oft-injured Chisholm was pulled early Wednesday's game due […]

Will Warren Dealt No-Decision

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren hurled 5 2/3 shutout frames, but did not factor into his team's 1-0 road win against the Kansas City Royals. The Southeastern Louisiana alum allowed four hits and struck out four while issuing one free pass. Warren and opposing starter Seth Lugo were locked in a scoreless duel, […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report - Updates for Bryce Harper, Cole Ragans, Pablo Lopez, Tyler Glasnow, Max Meyer, Michael King, Luke Weaver, Yordan Alvarez

One of the things I noticed when compiling this week's list of injured players is the number of injuries related to the oblique muscle. Also known as "side pain/discomfort," this muscle is located on both sides of our bodies, basically between the hip and the armpit. They are also close to the lower abdomen as […]
