That makes it six in a row and eight of their last nine for the Rays. Yonny Chirinos (5 IP, 4 K) got the win and Kittredge did the bulk of the dirty work out of the pen. It’s a quick two-game sweep for the Rays, who’ll now move on to the Blue Jays. They […]

Josh Gordon Has Applied For Reinstatement

This starts the process of Josh Gordon getting back into the league. The Patriots placed a second-round tender on him in March, so he'll be a Patriot if/when he is reinstated.

Colt McCoy Tops First Unofficial Depth Chart

McCoy has the most experience of the group, so it's no real surprise to see him lead the group early on. Case Keenum follows as backup and Dwayne Haskins is listed as third string.

Ezekiel Elliott Remains on Vacation as Cowboys Enter Week 2 of Training Camp

Elliott has until just August 6th to report if he wants to remain an unrestricted free agent in 2021. It certainly doesn't look like that will happen, as recent reports have suggested this could drag into the regular season. Elliott does have more leverage than any other RB in this league, and Jerry Jones isn't […]

Alex Verdugo (OF, LAD) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Verdugo just keeps on hitting. July was his worst season of the year, mostly due to bad luck.

Back-to-Back Home Runs Tie it up in the Eighth

In what was one of the more entertaining games of this baseball season, the Rays looked dead to rights in the 8th. That’s when two of the unlikeliest of culprits hit bombs to left field. Guillermo Heredia and Willy Adames have both struggled lately, but could very well use this momentum to dig out of […]

Ji-man Choi Goes 3-for-5 and homers from the leadoff spot

They needed all they could get out of Choi, just squeaking out the 10-9 victory over the Jays. His seventh inning home run turned the game manageable and allowed the back to back home runs from Adames and Heredia to tie it up.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  If there’s a word to describe Niko Goodrum, it’s versatile.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Jorge Alfaro is a great backup catcher.

Anthony Desclafani (SP, CIN) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Desclafani is a guy we’ve seen go up and down plenty, but one thing has always remained constant.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS:  Heyward has leveled back off in July, after posting a .389 wOBA in June. He’s still worth an add, though, as he remains in the middle of the Cubs lineup and has posted a .366 wOBA against righties with 13 home […]
