Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Jared Jones has struggled through six starts since returning from the UCL surgery he underwent in May of 2025, pitching to the tune of a 5.76 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and nine walks in 25 innings pitched. It's expected that one is to struggle from an injury like he suffered; however, the […]

Somehow, a whole bunch of my favorite young pitchers happened to line up to start on the same day. And the best part is that most of them have some very exploitable matchups for strikeouts, too. So, I ended up with a pretty substantial six-prop betting card today for a Monday! If you want the... […]

Every season, fantasy managers see highly-regarded prospects not only earn the call to the big leagues, but also make a high impact for fantasy. Last season, Nick Kurtz took the crown, and so far, players like Gage Jump and Konnor Griffin are showing similar potential. Below, we will look at two of the top pitching […]

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that the team does not expect first baseman Spencer Horwitz (hamstring) to return until after the All-Star break, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

As we roll into Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season, we also turn the calendar over to July and draw a bit closer to the All-Star break. It gets a bit tougher to uncover the best values on the wire as it gets raided by managers desperate for production, but I'm always up to […]

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler has steadied himself in his past four starts. The 23-year-old held the Seattle Mariners to one run across 5 1/3 innings on June 25 after working six innings of two-run ball at Coors Field on June 19. He hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in his last four starts […]

Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB.

Across 33 1/3 innings (34 games) in 2026, Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Gregory Soto has recorded a 4-1 record with a 3.24 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 39 strikeouts, and 11 saves.

Stashing high-end prospects ahead of a call-up could provide managers with a high-impact lottery ticket.
