Anthony Rizzo To Yankees - Fantasy Impact

The 2021 MLB Trade Deadline was as wild as any in recent memory as dozens of players changed addresses with seemingly every team making some kind of move. The biggest deadline buyer may have been the New York Yankees. They were busy making deals to try and hunt down the Red Sox and Rays, 8.5 […]

It finally happened – the 2016 Cubs are a thing of the past. The core of a team that defied a 108-year curse and brought joy to one of the oldest and most storied franchises in Major League Baseball has been broken up in a matter of days. The Cubs were 44-46 at the All-Star […]

Kyle Schwarber Could Move To First Base

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber (hamstring) could move to first base, per general manager Chaim Bloom.

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 19

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto continued his impressive power surge in a 6-2 win over the New York Mets on Friday. Votto went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk. The veteran first baseman has now homered in seven straight games, making him just the eighth player in MLB history to accomplish such […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/31/21): MLB DFS Lineups

It's a fairly reasonable DraftKings Saturday in MLB. The Jays pissed off DraftKings by starting an hour earlier than the rest of the 4pm Eastern games, so they go into their own showdown. The five game early slate looks solid, but I'm here to take you through the nine-game main prime time slate on DraftKings. […]

Connor Joe Goes Yard In Win Over San Diego

Colorado Rockies outfielder Connor Joe went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and one strikeout in a 9-4 win over the Padres on Friday. Joe smacked his second home run of the year in the fourth inning when he took Ryan Weathers deep for a two-run blast. He also chipped in a single in […]

Josh Bell Continues Home Run Binge

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell was one of the last men standing along with Juan Soto after the trade deadline dust settled Friday, and he continued his hot streak against the Chicago Cubs. Bell went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run, his 17th of the season. He's homered five times in […]

Pavin Smith Lands On COVID-19 Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Pavin Smith went to the COVID-19 injured list on Friday. While Smith hasn't tested positive for the Coronavirus, unlike teammates Noe Ramirez and Stuart Fairchild, who are both symptomatic, he did fall victim to contact tracing. It's unknown how long the 25-year-old will be out, but it's unfortunate news, primarily since […]

Rhys Hoskins Battling A Groin Issue

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) is classified as day-to-day, according to manager Joe Girardi. Hoskins left Thursday's matchup against the Nationals because of a groin ailment and was subsequently held out of Friday's series opener against the Pirates. While it wouldn't be a surprise if he weren't available throughout the weekend, he still […]

Yuli Gurriel Finishing Up July Strong

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel will head into the team's weekend series against the Giants on the cusp of another hot streak. Gurriel is slugging only .364 in the month of July but is 5-for-10 his last two games with two extra-base hits and three runs batted in. Gurriel is having an impressive season, […]

DJ LeMahieu, Gio Urshela Absent From Friday's Lineup

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (triceps) and third baseman Gio Urshela (hamstring) are not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins. Both LeMahieu and Urshela are considered day-to-day, per manager Aaron Boone. Boone noted that he's hopeful that they'll be available this weekend. Rougned Odor will start at second, with Tyler Wade […]

Rowdy Tellez Hits Another Home Run For Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored during Thursday's win over the Pirates. Tellez crushed an opposite-field 410-footer against Chris Stratton in the seventh to further extend Milwaukee's lead. He also hit an RBI double in the sixth, which would have […]

Jake Cronenworth Smacks Clutch Insurance Home Run

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth pounded a clutch two-run homer Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. Cronenworth extended a slim 1-0 lead with an eighth-inning blast against reliever Daniel Bard for his only knock in four chances. While he's only tallied one multi-hit game in the past nine contests, Cronenworth remains a valuable fantasy asset […]

Jesus Aguilar Unlikely To Be Traded On Friday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar is likely going to stay with the organization. It doesn't appear that the organization has plans to move Aguilar at the trade deadline despite interest from other organizations. He has one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining, so Miami is likely going to bring him back next season. Aguilar […]

Trey Mancini, John Means Unlikely To Be Dealt

Baltimore Orioles first baseman and starting pitcher John Means are unlikely to be dealt by the end of the trade deadline on July 30. Means is looking like a prime trade candidate, but has struggled since returning from a shoulder injury. He is under team control until 2024, so the team has no rush to […]

Miguel Cabrera Homers Twice In Thursday's Win

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera helped lead the team to a 6-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. He went 3-for-3 with a walk and a pair of solo home runs in the game. He now has 10 home runs over 80 games on the year. Cabrera hasn't been providing much in terms […]

Announcing This Year's Fantasy Busts - The Bigger Picture

The second half of the MLB season is about two weeks deep and the trade deadline brings a flurry of activity that will shake up rosters.

Ryan Zimmerman Reaches Four Times In Loss

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman started Thursday's nightcap against the Philadelphia Phillies, batting third and playing first base. He went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, and two runs scored. As it stands, Zimmerman has only been in the lineup against left-handed starters, but with so many players on the move that could change. […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Blasts 33rd Homer

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasted his 33rd home run of the season during the team's 13-1 rout over the Red Sox on Thursday. His three-run shot in the fifth went 436 feet down the left field line and out of Fenway Park to blow the game open to 9-0 at the […]
