Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 11

Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon. Most of the earlier editions of this recurring buy or sell article have included several universally owned players whose values have been manipulated enough by early season performances. Unfortunately, as we get deeper into the year, […]

Sauceda's Slants: Folding Aces

There are very few Fantasy experiences more pleasing than hitting on a late-round sleeper or sneaky waiver acquisition — not unlike the experience of finding a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket that you had completely forgotten. When landing these types of players, common refrain tends to be, “sell high!” But for anyone who’s played in […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 11

So we're two months into the season, and a lot of pictures are becoming more clear. Maybe you hitched your wagon to Joey Votto and are in need of a corner infielder? Perhaps you've been riding George Springer to success but are now stuck without your best outfielder for weeks. No matter the situation, it […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/19): MLB DFS Lineups

A really strange day of baseball with two doubleheaders wreaking havoc on the slates. To confuse matters even more, neither of the Rays @ Red Sox games appear on either slate, while both of the Athletics @ Rangers games appear on slates. In total there are two main slates, both with fairly even weighting. The […]

Padres Could Keep Josh Naylor Over Manuel Margot

The San Diego Padres are considering keeping outfielder Josh Naylor on the big league roster over Manuel Margot once Franchy Cordero (elbow) returns from the injured list. Naylor is 5-for-15 during a five-game hitting streak in which he's homered twice and gone 2-for-2 as a pinch-hitter. The team's fourth-ranked position player was initially only going […]

Luis Urias Could Be Back Up Soon

The San Diego Padres are expected to consider calling up second base prospect Luis Urias from Triple-A El Paso possibly before the end of the month. Urias has yet to do anything in his limited time in the big leagues in 23 games the last two years (.167 average, two homers, 21 strikeouts in 72 […]

Ketel Marte Just Woke Us Up

Sound the alarms! We’ve got a power surge from Arizona that won’t go out! Oh, it’s nothing, just another one of those monstrous months from Paul Gold-- Wait, Goldy’s no longer in the desert. Then who is the source of this power surge? Ketel Marte?? Second on the team in home runs with 14 in […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 10)

It was a quiet week for prospect promotions and catcher Will Smith was the only position player who was promoted and stuck. He’s had some swing-and-miss to his game but he’s hitting .286 with a home run through his first 14 MLB at-bats. Jon Duplantier got another recall to The Show and was gifted with […]

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) will rejoin the team on Thursday, and is expected to play at some point in the upcoming series against the Nationals.

Hunter Renfroe Not In Starting Lineup Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is getting the day off Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Renfroe has become a more than useful fantasy contributor so far this season, smacking 17 bombs over 55 games. On the season, Renfroe is hitting .250/.301/.610 with 25 runs, 33 RBI and he's even chipped in three stolen bases, […]

Chris Paddack Takes One On The Chin

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack suffered his second consecutive loss, allowing five earned runs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 23-year-old rookie yielded eight hits including five extra-base knocks while striking out four. Paddack was yanked after letting two runners on in the fifth and the bullpen promptly served up […]

Dinelson Lamet Makes Second Rehab Start

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (elbow) allowed a grand slam and five runs in his second rehab start for High-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday night, but his right elbow felt good. The right-hander will have at least one more rehab start at Elsinore before the Padres determine Lamet's next step in the rehab […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 10

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 […]

Franmil Reyes Sparks Scuffling Friars Offense

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes blasted his 17th home run Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Reyes’ solo shot in the fifth inning kicked off an eight-run surge for the scuffling Padres in the victory.
