Red Sox Release Adam Lind

The Boston Red Sox announced on Wednesday afternoon that they have released veteran first baseman Adam Lind. Lind had not appeared in the majors in 2018 and put up mediocre numbers in Triple-A. Lind had some great seasons in his career and may wind up with another organization, but his days of fantasy relevancy seem to […]

Cody Bellinger's Season Struggles Continue

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger struggled again in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Brewers, going 0-for-2 with a walk. The 23-year-old has not been able to get things going after a tremendous rookie season and is hitting just .171 with one extra-base hit in 48 plate appearances in the second half of this […]

Wilmer Flores Remains In Lineup Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores is still in the lineup Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. Flores left the 25-4 loss Tuesday early after dizziness, but is back in there batting third Wednesday and playing first base. He has a pretty solid matchup against Tommy Milone and could be a decent option in DFS leagues […]

Neil Walker Not In Lineup Wednesday

New York Yankees infielder Neil Walker will not be in the lineup Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. Walker has actually been swinging a hot bat with nine hits over his last 18 at bats but will get the day off in this contest. Greg Bird is handling first base while Giancarlo Stanton is the designated […]

Logan Morrison Hits 14th Homer

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Logan Morrison went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in his team's 6-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. Morrison sent a Trevor Bauer offering over the fence in the sixth inning to give him his 14th home run on the year. The slugger has struggled in his first season with […]

Jake Bauers With A HR Tuesday Versus Los Angeles

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers continued giving fans reason to hope for the future Tuesday versus the Angels. He delivered a solo HR which was his eighth of the season. He has 173 at-bats in 2018 and if you triple his numbers to simulate a full season with 500+ AB, he would have […]

Eric Hosmer Possibly Turning A Corner

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer extended his hitting streak to eight games on Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI double. Since his average troughed at .245 on July 22, Hosmer's batted .345 (10-for-29) during his streak. The Padres were awful in July and Hosmer has likely contributed to the team's woes, with just […]

Brad Miller Released After Jonathan Schoop Trade

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Brad Miller has been released after the Brewers made the move for Jonathan Schoop. Miller was acquired for Ji-Man Choi earlier in the season and now with the very crowded infield that the Brewers have, there is no room for Miller. He holds no fantasy value, even if he signs with a […]

Wilmer Flores Leaves Game With Dehydration

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores left the game early Tuesday due to dehydration and dizziness. Flores should be alright in a day or two. The 26-year-old is hitting .262 with nine home runs and 34 RBI on the season and should see more playing time in the Mets infield now that Asdrubal Cabrera is […]

Ryan O'Hearn Making MLB Debut Tuesday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn is making his MLB debut against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. O'Hearn will serve as the DH and bat seventh against veteran righty James Shields. He was hitting .232/.322/.391 with 11 homers during his time in Triple A this season. O'Hearn is not worth adding in fantasy […]

Justin Bour is Not in The Lineup Tuesday

Miami Marlins first baseman Justin Bour (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Miguel Rojas will slide over to first base and bat sixth against lefty Kolby Allard. Rojas is hitting .237/.308/.333 off left-handed pitching this season. He is not hitting well against lefties this season, but has […]

Brian Goodwin Placed On DL

The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Brian Goodwin (groin) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a left groin strain. He will be eligible to return on Aug. 8. In corresponding moves, the team called up first baseman Ryan O'Hearn from Triple-A Omaha and moved infielder Cheslor Cuthbert to the 60-day DL. It's a […]

Derek Dietrich and Justin Bour Being Discussed in Trade Talks

Miami Marlins first baseman Justin Bour and outfielder Derek Dietrich are being discussed with other teams as the trade deadline approaches, according to Jon Heyman of Fancred. The Marlins seem to be shopping just about everyone except for J.T. Realmuto. Heyman reported talks for Realmuto are "nonexistent." Dietrich provides teams with a left-handed bat that […]

Jose Martinez Should Be Fine to Play on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez was scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday. Martinez hit into a fielder's choice during his pinch-hit appearance on Monday. It sounds like Martinez is battling a sore ankle, but he should be able to return very soon. However, Martinez has been mentioned as a trade candidate, so […]

Start Your Dynasty Team Rebuild From The Waiver Wire

If your dynasty or keeper team is at the back of the pack, now might be the time to rethink strategies. At the very least, it is time to take stock before other under-performing teams do the same and the resource pool becomes limited. Minor moves now could set your team up for success starting […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 18

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Left-Handed xwOBA Splits (Week 18)

A left-handed pitcher takes the mound, a left-handed batter hits the bench. We see it all too often, especially in the later innings when managers love to play the same-handed split matchups in the bullpen. Your star players (does Bryce Harper still count?) won't be affected, but many others will. Not all left-handed batters suffer […]

Potential Risers/Fallers After the MLB Trade Deadline

The MLB Trade Deadline is one of the most exciting parts of the baseball season. Contenders get to bolster their rosters for the playoff push while rebuilding clubs get to add potential studs to their growing farm system. With players such Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Mike Moustakas and many others already moved, teams around the […]

Matt Carpenter Has Another Multi-Hit Game

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter had three hits Monday night against the Colorado Rockies. Carpenter has a sizzling .397 wOBA for the year. He has 10 home runs in the month of July. He also has 21 runs and 17 RBI in that time. Since the all-star break, Carpenter has been hitting .341. He'll […]

Braves Acquire Adam Duvall From Reds

The Atlanta Braves made a trade on Monday night, getting outfielder Adam Duvall from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for pitcher Matt Wisler, outfielder Preston Tucker and pitcher Lucas Sims. Although he has a low batting average, Duvall has some pop, with 15 homers so far and his 61 RBI is not shabby. He'll provide some outfield depth in […]

Freddie Freeman Hits Solo Homer As Braves Win

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has been a machine this season. He did it again on Monday night, hitting homer No. 18. He went 1-for-4 and though his average has dipped a bit, it's still impressive at .313. Freeman now has 67 RBI. After the Marlins, he's going to face the team he LOVES […]

Twins Acquire Tyler Austin and Luis Rijo

The Minnesota Twins have added utility man Tyler Austin and pitching prospect Luis Rijo from the New York Yankees. Austin is batting .223 with eight home runs and 23 RBI in 132 plate appearances this season. He is under club control until 2022. It seems likely that Austin will split time with Logan Morrison at […]

Ronald Guzman, Willie Calhoun Sitting on Monday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman and outfielder Willie Calhoun are not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Rangers are without a DH in Arizona, while facing lefty Robbie Ray. Jurickson Profar will bat fifth and play first base, while Joey Gallo starts in left field. Gallo should not […]
