Kolten Wong (2B, STL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: After Kolten Wong's torrid start predictably subsided, fantasy owners largely hopped off the train as quickly as they'd hopped onto it. While he's hitting just .234/.323/.373 overall, he also has six home runs and is a perfect 1o-for-1o on stolen base attempts. He has […]
Dee Gordon To Return Tuesday
Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon is slated to play one more game at Triple-A before joining the team for their series in Minnesota on Tuesday. He has been out of action since May 21 with a wrist injury after batting .281 with three homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs, and 12 stolen bases. It remains […]
Aledmys Diaz Suffers Setback In Rehab
Houston Astros GM Jeff Luhnow told a radio show that infielder Aledmys Diaz suffered a setback in his rehab process. It's unknown how significant the setback is as he works himself back from a hamstring injury that has shelved him since May 27. It was thought that Diaz would return in mid-June as the Astros […]
Robinson Cano To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday
New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse or Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday. Cano will use this second injured list stint to get more at-bats and ease himself back into action, as he's barely play in the last half of the month. Cano has really been hard […]
Jonathan Schoop Out Against Tigers

Ehire Adrianza will replace him at the keystone and is hitting eighth against Tigers starting pitcher Ryan Carpenter.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Those fantasy managers looking for the next big name rookie to get called up should focus their attention to Padres second baseman, Luis Urias.

H2H Category Streamers - Week 11 Waiver Wire
There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]
Robinson Cano Heads Back to Injured List
New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The Mets gave Cano a few days to rest, but the left quad injury didn't improve at all. This is Cano's second time landing on the injured list in the last three weeks. Adeiny Hechavarria will cover second base […]

The Cut List (Week 11) - Time to Let Go?
It's June 9, an exciting date to some, because it means another Cut List. (Were you thinking some other reason?) Last week's changeup, which involved cut suggestions in three different league sizes--10, 12, and 14/15 teams--continues. Stats are through Friday, June 7. New weekly reminders: Recommendations in one league size obviously apply to smaller leagues. […]
Mets Considering Putting Robinson Cano Back On Injured List
The New York Mets are now seriously considering putting second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps) back on the injured list. The move could be made after they evaluate him on Sunday morning, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Cano came off the injured list on Friday and hurt himself again and hasn't played since. He can be […]
Addison Russell Out With Bruised Hand
Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that infielder Addison Russell (hand) is out of the lineup on Saturday with a bruised right hand. Russell hurt the thumb area of his hand on a slide in the last game he played, and he's being listed as day-to-day. He could return to the lineup on Sunday. Since […]
Robinson Cano Remains Out Saturday
New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps) is not in the starting lineup again on Saturday.

Cavan Biggio is At Second on Saturday
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Biggio will bat leadoff and cover second base versus righty Zack Greinke. Normally, this would be a great DFS spot for Biggio, but he won't have much fantasy value against an ace like Greinke. He can be […]
Jurickson Profar Gets Day Off
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. Profar will get a routine day off here, but he's struggled at the plate this season, so maybe a day off will help him. Chad Pinder will cover second base and bat seventh versus lefty […]
Scooter Gennett Nearing Rehab Assignment
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) will report to the team's spring training complex and participate in a minicamp with minor leaguers on Tuesday in Arizona.
