Elias Diaz Homers in Win Over Arizona

San Diego Padres catcher Elias Diaz had a productive game in his team's 8-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, one RBI, and two runs scored to help power San Diego to victory. The veteran catcher put the Padres up 7-2 with his solo homer in […]

San Diego Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta (7-2) collected his seventh win of the season Sunday in an 8-2 decision against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pivetta surrendered just two runs on two hits and tallied nine strikeouts against one walk over seven innings. It was a much-needed return to form for Pivetta, who combined to allow nine […]

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 […]

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King (shoulder) is unfortunately still unable to throw the baseball right now.

Recently, Padres manager Mike Shildt […]
