Gary Sanchez Doubles His Home Run Pleasure

DJ LeMahieu Walks the Yankees Off on Saturday

With the game tied 4-4 in the bottom of the 11th, New York Yankee DJ LeMahieu led the inning off by hammering the first pitch he saw from Oakland's Lou Trevino 379-feet over the left-field wall, giving the Yankees a 5-4 win.

CC Sabathia Lands Back on Injured List

After leaving Friday night's start with knee pain after pitching just three innings, Yankees starter CC Sabathia was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday morning. Rating his pain as a "10", Sabathia will have a clearer timetable after the knee is drained and had a cortisone shot administered. New York recalled starting pitcher Jonathan […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 23 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Digging Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 22

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the injured 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 […]

Giovanny Urshela Leaves Game Early

New York Yankees infielder Giovanny Urshela (groin) left the game early on Wednesday with left groin tightness. Urshela had a single and a strikeout in his two plate appearances before his early exit. He's been a fantastic fill-in for the Yankees this year, hitting a surprising .331/.370/.555 with 18 home runs, 66 runs and 67 […]

Didi Gregorius Still Absent

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday.

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 22 - Buy or Sell?

Today's magic numbers: 5/14. Each riser has exactly five home runs in the past two weeks (August 13-26). The names are a little more interesting on the whole than the ones with six or seven (and have been less explored around here). As for falling power outputs, four of today's five have been risers in […]

Edwin Encarnacion Progressing

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) hit in the batting cage and did some fielding and throwing drills in New York on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said that Encarnacion will see live pitching in the near future and should be an option to return to the team soon. EE has been out […]

Cameron Maybin In A Slump

Overall, Maybin has been a big asset for the Bombers in 2019, hitting .297/.375/.500 with eight home runs, 40 runs, 26 RBI and seven stolen bases in 192 at-bats. He's hit a wall late in the season, however, and fantasy […]

Giancarlo Stanton Expected To Hit On Field This Week

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) is expected to start hitting on the field this week in Seattle. Because Stanton will also need a minor league rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues, it's not reasonable to expect him to make an impact in the fantasy playoffs next month. Stanton said he wants […]
