Gary Sanchez Remains Hitless

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez extended his hitless streak to four games on Wednesday, with eight strikeouts over his first 12 at-bats. Contact has been an issue for Sanchez so far this year with a 33% swinging-strike rate coming into Wednesday’s game, and although frustrating, the 27-year-old hasn’t reported any injuries or reason for […]

Aaron Judge Hits His First Home Run Of The Season

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge broke out of a brief home run outage with a 105 mph blast against the Orioles on Wednesday. Judge took a paltry .167/.167/.250 slash line into Wednesday’s game, but the 28-year-old’s power remains in-tact with a 97.8 mph average exit velocity for the young season. Judge doesn’t appear to […]

Gerrit Cole Pitches Well On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole pitched well against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing three runs with seven strikeouts over 6.2 innings. Cole may have underperformed expectations against a weak Baltimore lineup, but his performance was nothing to scoff at and raised no red-flags for his rest of season performance. Cole’s next start is […]

J.A. Happ Set For Season Debut Thursday

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ will finally make his season debut Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. After a couple of postponements earlier this week, the Yankees rotation and schedule has mixed itself up, pushing Happ’s debut back. The veteran southpaw is a viable streaming option versus an O’s offense that struck out against […]

Masahiro Tanaka On Track To Start Saturday

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has been announced as the team’s starting pitcher for Saturday’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Tanaka is fortunate to be pitching in 2020 in any capacity after taking a line drive off the side of his head at the hands of Giancarlo Stanton during Summer Camp. The […]

Red Alert: Luis Robert's 115.8 MPH Smash Means Something

In the hullabaloo of MLB’s opening weekend, you may not have noticed that Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox — he of the .337 ISO at Triple-A Charlotte — announced his presence with authority on Friday night. In the second inning of his MLB debut, Robert strode to the plate, stood 60 feet and six inches […]

Jordan Montgomery To Start This Weekend Versus Red Sox

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery is expected to toe the rubber sometime during the team's weekend series versus the Red Sox. The southpaw was originally supposed to face the Phillies on Wednesday, but the postponement of the Yankees games on Monday and Tuesday have pushed their starters back. Montgomery's hype-train was gaining steam […]

Gerrit Cole To Take Mound On Wednesday Against Orioles

The New York Yankees are reworking the order of their starting rotation in response to the two games being cancelled this week. Gerrit Cole is now scheduled to pitch on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles, assuming the game is played. J.A. Happ will then follow him up and make his season debut on Thursday. The […]

Gerrit Cole To Start On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole will start against the Orioles on Wednesday, and J.A. Happ will start on Thursday. The Yankees had their schedule altered with the Phillies postponing their games due to a coronavirus outbreak, and the team is shifting its rotation around as a result. Cole should have no trouble dominating […]

Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 2

Whether your league has a week one that runs for eleven days, or a week two that starts on Monday, there are plenty of arms on the waiver wire just waiting to help your team contend for a title. Most of these players won’t single-handedly win a week but they are all capable of going […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

Only three days’ worth of games separate last week’s waiver wire from this week’s, but there are still new players worth picking up this week. In addition to players making their first appearance on this list, some players still aren’t close as highly rostered as they should be after last week. With that in mind, […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 2

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Zach Britton Gets His First Save

New York Yankees closer Zach Britton picked up his first save of the season on Sunday with a scoreless inning against the Nationals. In typical Britton fashion, two of the three batted balls he allowed came on the ground, and only one had an exit velocity north of 87 mph. Britton is slated to continue […]

Luke Voit Hits His First Home Run Of The Season

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit made his first hit of the 2020 season count with a 387 ft shot against the Nationals on Sunday. Although the home run was the only damage that Voit did on Sunday, he also smoked a 95.1 mph line drive with a .910 xBA that was caught at […]

Gleyber Torres Has A Three-Hit Game

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres broke a two-game hitless streak with two singles and a home run against the Nationals on Sunday. Torres was red-hot on Sunday, with all three of his batted balls leaving the bat at over 100 mph. With two All-Star appearances and a .849 OPS over his first two major […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Has Short Start On Sunday

New York Yankees pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga pitched just three innings in his first start of the year against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. He performed adequately, allowing just one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out three. The only run came on a Trea Turner home run in the third inning. […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Starting On Sunday

New York Yankees pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga will start for the team and throw around 50 pitches against the Nationals on Sunday. Loaisiga is starting in place of the recovering Masahiro Tanaka and is expected to return to the bullpen following Sunday’s start. Given his fairly restrictive best-case scenario pitch count, Loiaisiga isn’t much of a […]

Miguel Andujar Draws First Start On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder/third baseman Miguel Andujar will make his first start of 2020 on Sunday against Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals. Andujar will be playing leftfield and hitting seventh in the lineup. Brett Gardner and Aaron Hicks are both getting their first days off. Mike Tauchman is drawing his first start in the […]

Gary Sanchez Not Starting Sunday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the starting lineup vs the Nationals Sunday afternoon. This is expected for a day game after a night game last night so fantasy owners don't have anything to worry about with the star catcher. Kyle Higashioka will handle catching duties and bat eighth vs lefty Patrick […]

James Paxton Struggles With Mechanics And Velocity In First Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton struggled in his first start of the season, lasting only one inning and allowing three runs. Concerningly, Paxton’s fastball velocity topped out at 93.8 mph and averaged less than 92 mph for the night. Paxton mentioned that he was struggling to find his velocity during simulated games, and […]
