Antonio Gibson Could Fill Derrius Guice's Role

Washington Football Team running back/wide receiver Antonio Gibson could fill the role planned for recently-released running back Derrius Guice.

Adrian Peterson, Bryce […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 4 Waiver Wire

For a season chock full of bullpen changes and injuries already, this week was a slight cool down period. In other words, this would still probably have been a bigger bullpen news week during a normal season, but for this particular season, it seemed like a much-welcomed downswing. There were still depth chart changes, there were still […]

Dylan Carlson Expected To Be Called Up Soon

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (arm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Tuesday.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]
