Shane Bieber Tabbed As Indians Opening Day Starter

The Cleveland Indians will open up the season with Shane Bieber as their Opening Day starter at the Detroit Tigers.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees. Reyes is now 9-for-31 with four RBI and one stolen base this spring.

Rich Hill Makes Final Spring Start

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Rich Hill made his final start of the spring Monday and allowed three earned runs on five hits while walking two and striking out four in five innings of work. It has been a rough spring overall for Hill as he had pitched to the tune of a 6.94 ERA […]

Hanser Alberto Contending For Starting Job

Kansas City Royals infielder Hanser Alberto could be the Kansas City Royals starting third baseman when they break camp.

He provides exceptional value against […]

Jordan Luplow Goes 0-for-3 Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 0-for-2 in Sunday's 4-4 tie with the Detroit Tigers.

Late-Round Fliers for RBI Production

RBI production is a valuable stat in all fantasy baseball formats, but it is not always an easy stat to predict. Locating solid RBI production late in drafts becomes even more difficult. Ideally, you want players who will hit in the middle of lineups, which are expected to score plenty of runs. Now, this may […]

AL Outfielders Ready to Break Out in 2021

In previous seasons, outfielder has been one of the deepest positions to find top-end talent as well as deeper talent. In 2021, this does not appear to be the case as there are so many question marks and risks in the current top 50 based on ADP and throughout the entirety of drafts. It becomes […]

Second-Year Hitters Ready to Break Out

Every season there are hitters entering their second year in the big-leagues that have a solid break-out campaign. In 2020, these were players like Eloy Jimenez, Cavan Biggio, and arguably, Fernando Tatis Jr. Some will say Tatis Jr. broke out in 2019, but he really burst on the scene in 2020 and became a household […]

Matt Olson Continues Hot Spring

Olson is now 8-for-22 with three home runs, nine RBI, and six runs scored so far this spring.

Gerrit Cole Struggles Tuesday

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole struggled on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers as he allowed two earned runs on three hits while walking one and striking out five. The damage came off two solo home runs, so this one can likely be written off as just a couple of bad pitches by the Yankees' […]
