Fantasy Baseball Rest Of Season Rankings: Mid-Year Updates

The All-Star break offers us fantasy baseball players a chance to breathe and reassess the battlefield before us. Pitching remains as volatile as ever thanks to midseason rule changes, the next generation is fighting uphill after missing minor-league development in 2020, and Shohei Ohtani has blossomed into a full-fledged superstar. Instead of my weekly top […]

Taking a Mulligan - Second-Half Rebound Candidates

We've reached the All-Star Break, which means the baseball season is just over halfway done. Let me repeat that: we still have three months to go! I think some of us are still operating in the mindset of the shortened 2020 season and are thinking that our fantasy seasons are over if we're not in […]

Improving Hitters to Watch in the Second Half

We have more than three months of baseball in the books. It has been a glorious spring and summer with the return of the 162 game schedule. While it was nice for MLB to sneak in 60 games and some expanded playoffs in 2020 after we feared a full season cancellation, it really just didn't […]

Yuli Gurriel Tallies Three Hits In Victory

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 3-for-4 with two runs batted in as Houston beat the White Sox 7-1 on Friday. It was positive start for Gurriel's second half and hopefully this means signs of offensive life for a player who is slugging .268 over his last 15 games played. Gurriel is having a […]

Evan White Opting For Season-Ending Surgery

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) will undergo season-ending surgery (perhaps labral) on his hip. This had been a possibility for a while now, and now it's official. White wound up playing in only 30 games this year and hit just .144/.202/.237 with two home runs and nine RBI in 104 plate appearances. He […]

Jake Lamb Starting Rehab Assignment At Triple-A

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Jake Lamb (quadriceps) has been sent out on a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte.

The 30-year-old left-handed slugger just hasn't seen […]

Marwin Gonzalez Goes On The Injured List

Boston Red Sox utility man Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, clearing room on the roster for outfielder Jarren Duran.
