Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

5043 articles

You won't find a bigger Cubs fan than myself. Aside from my love of fantasy sports, which includes MLB, NFL and NBA, I own my own animal care business. I graduated from Columbia College in Chicago and currently reside in Chicago, IL. My love of fantasy sports started for me in the early 2000's and I have steadily been active with the same group of friends year in and year out for every league in baseball, basketball and football. I am hoping to help all RotoBaller members with any questions they may have. I consider myself an expert with minor league prospects, as it is a love of mine. I hope to give the best advice I can to the RotoBaller world!

Dylan Cease Struggles In Second Loss

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease struggled in a loss against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. Cease only went 3 1/3 innings and allowed eight hits, six runs, one walk and struck out two. Cease just didn't have it Tuesday night and command was a big part of that problem. Cease has very good […]


Cody Bellinger Will Rest On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger will rest on Tuesday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. It will be his first day off since returning from a hairline fracture in his left fibula on May 29. Bellinger is 0-for-10 since his return, but managers should remain patient with their early round selection with Bellinger having the […]


Anthony Rizzo Returns To Lineup On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) has returned to the lineup on Tuesday to face the San Diego Padres. Rizzo has been out of the lineup since last Tuesday with a sore back and he also missed some time earlier in May with the same issue. Rizzo's performance has never been an issue, but […]


Yasmani Grandal Gets Another Day Off On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal will sit on Tuesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Grandal only has six hits over his last 44 at-bats and only has 13 hits on the season, but he has hit six home runs and driven in 18 RBI. It's just a routine day off for Grandal and he will […]


Andrew Vaughn Returns To Lineup On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn will return to the lineup on Tuesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Vaughn sat out Monday's doubleheader with allergies and a headache, but is good to go tonight. Vaughn is hitting .233 with four home runs and 12 RBI during his rookie campaign, but has big power upside if […]


Chris Taylor Continues To Ascend With Three More Hits

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor ended May on a high note by going 3-for-4 with two runs and four RBI in Monday's victory. He also hit his seventh home run of the year off of starting pitcher Jack Flaherty in the bottom of the second inning. Taylor has been playing all over for the […]


Trevor Bauer Continues Impressive Season With Sixth Win

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer continued his strong start of the season by picking up his sixth victory of the year versus the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Bauer tossed 6 2/3 innings and allowed five hits, four runs (three earned), one walk and struck out five on the evening. All of the […]


Andrew Vaughn Sat With Allergies On Monday

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn sat both games of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians with allergies and a headache. It was a mystery as to why Vaughn wasn't in the lineup for either game and now we know why. Vaughn is hitting .226 on the season […]


Jimmy Lambert Picks Up Loss In Game 2 Of Doubleheader

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jimmy Lambert made his season debut in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader and only lasted 3 2/3 innings in a loss. Lambert allowed seven hits, three runs, one walk and struck out four on the evening. The right-hander was called up to make the spot start on Monday and is […]


Carlos Rodon Allows Five Run In No-Decision

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon struggled in a no-decision during Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians. The lefty went six innings and allowed nine hits, five runs, one walk and struck out eight on the afternoon. Rodon has been having a career year in 2021 and managers shouldn't be too […]


Zack Collins Knocks In Two Runs

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians. Collins drew the start with starting catcher Yasmani Grandal scheduled to start in Game 2. Collins hasn't shown much offense this season and is hitting .181 with two home runs […]


Aaron Bummer Picks Up First Save

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Aaron Bummer picked up his first save in his fifth opportunity in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians. Bummer got the opportunity with closer Liam Hendriks being rested after throwing three innings over the last two days. The lefty opened the inning by allowing a walk to […]


Mookie Betts Returns To Lineup On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (allergies) has returned to the lineup on Monday to face the St. Louis Cardinals. Betts was scratched from Sunday's lineup with allergies, but appears ready to give it a go tonight. Betts has been in a big slump with just six hits over his last 35 at-bats, but managers […]


Patrick Wisdom Does It All In Monday's Victory

Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom picked up his second start consecutive start on Monday versus the San Diego Padres and he put together his best performance since being called up last week. Wisdom drew the start at third base and went 3-for-4 with two home runs and a stolen base in the Cubs victory. Wisdom […]


Kris Bryant Continues Impressive Season In Monday's Victory

Chicago Cubs corner infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant continues to put together a strong season. Bryant went 2-for-4 on Monday versus the San Diego Padres with a triple, home run and two RBI on the afternoon. Bryant has really been raising his stock with free agency around the corner after this season and he has put up […]


Javier Baez Crushes Two Dingers In Victory

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez enjoyed facing the San Diego Padres on Monday afternoon. Baez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI. The upcoming free agent has been having a very good season and has been helping managers across the board. Baez is now hitting .260 with 13 home runs, 36 RBI and […]


Kohl Stewart Picks Up Victory In Spot Start

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kohl Stewart picked up his first win of the season versus the San Diego Padres on Monday. Stewart was recalled from Triple-A Iowa with scheduled starter Trevor Williams (appendicitis) sidelined after undergoing an emergency appendectomy on Sunday morning. The former top pitching prospect performed well in his spot start and went […]


David Price Will Start As Opener On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Price will operate as the team's opener in Thursday's contest versus the San Francisco Giants. It has been a role that has suited Price well since returning from the injured list on May 17. Price carries a 3.95 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings into the matchup, but […]


Will Smith Resting On Thursday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will get Thursday evening off versus the San Francisco Giants. Smith has been one of the better performers at the catcher position this season and is hitting .269 with five home runs and 17 RBI. It's just a routine day off for Smith and he will be replaced by […]


Gavin Lux Out Of Thursday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Gavin Lux will be left off of Thursday's lineup card versus the San Francisco Giants. Lux got off to a slow start this season, but has hit .302 with two home runs and 11 runs over the past two weeks. Lux opened the season as the Dodgers everyday second baseman, […]


Tim Anderson Out With General Soreness

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will miss his second consecutive game on Thursday versus the Baltimore Orioles. Manager Tony La Russa said that Anderson is dealing with general soreness and is day-to-day. Utility man Danny Mendick will replace Anderson and bat ninth versus Bruce Zimmermann and can remain on the waiver wire. Anderson has […]


Ryan Tepera Picks Up First Save

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Ryan Tepera picked up his first save of the season on Thursday afternoon versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tepera entered in the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and the bases loaded. He was able to get the Cubs out of a big jam. The right-hander would then finish things […]


Patrick Wisdom Goes Yard In Victory

Chicago Cubs first baseman Patrick Wisdom came up big in a victory versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday afternoon. Wisdom got the start in right field and went 2-for-3 with a double and solo home run before being pinch-hit for in the top of the eighth inning. Despite the nice game, Wisdom was recently called […]


Kris Bryant Hits Another Home Run

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant continued his strong season in Thursday's victory versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bryant went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in the contest. Bryant has been putting up MVP numbers in his walk year and is now hitting .320 with 11 home runs, 32 RBI and two […]


Kyle Hendricks Picks Up Fifth Victory

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks picked up his fifth victory of the season Thursday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hendricks went seven innings and allowed six hits, three runs, no walks and struck out five on the afternoon.

Joc Pederson Benched Versus Lefty On Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson will be out of the lineup on Thursday. Pederson has been swinging a hot bat in May and is hitting .343 with three home runs and 11 home runs over the course of the month. Pederson came to the Cubs with the chance to play versus lefties, but manager David […]


Anthony Rizzo Misses Second Consecutive Game

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) will miss my second straight game with a stiff back on Thursday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rizzo should be available to pinch-hit if needed. The first baseman has dealt with back issues in the past and this is the second time this season that his back has flared […]


Sheldon Neuse Hits Solo Home Run In Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Sheldon Neuse went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss versus the Houston Astros. Neuse's home run was his third of the season and he now has four RBI to go along with a .189 batting average. With utility man Zack McKinstry (oblique) and outfielder Cody Bellinger (calf) close […]


Trevor Bauer Hurt By Home Run Ball In Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer picked up his third loss of the season in a good outing versus the Houston Astros on Wednesday. Bauer went six innings and allowed four hits, two runs, four walks and three strikeouts. The three strikeouts were a season-low for Bauer and it was the third time this […]


Craig Kimbrel Records Another Save

Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel recorded his 11th save of the season versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Kimbrel allowed a double to outfielder Ben Gamel to open the bottom of the ninth, but then retired the next three batters with two strikeouts.
