Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out Again
Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Schoop has now missed two games in a row due to soreness in his shoulder. He's considered day-to-day, but may end up landing on the injured list. Ehire Adrianza is at second base and […]
Ryan McMahon Doubles In A Run
Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon got the scoring started early on Sunday by doubling in Raimel Tapia in the second inning. He'd also single later in the game, hopefully opening the flood gates for more hits this week. McMahon has been slumping over the last couple weeks, and the double was particularly rare while he's […]
2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7
It has been a particularly interesting week in terms of attention-grabbing storylines, to say the least. Addison Russell made a controversial return to the Cubs lineup to a crowd of mixed feelings, Mike Fiers embarrassed the Cincinnati Reds with his second-career no-hitter, and another MLB game was curiously delayed due to a massive swarm of […]
Josh Harrison Will Be Activated Monday
Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (shoulder) will make his return to the lineup after having been sidelined since April 30th. The veteran infielder has struggled in his first season with Detroit, batting just .156/.212/.233 with one home run and two stolen bases. His track record suggests he's bound to pick up the pace at […]

David Fletcher (2B/3B/OF, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fletcher's selling point is simple: He owns a .354 OBP, a .455 SLG and he hits leadoff when the Angels face a right-handed starter. That means that about 60% of the time, Fletcher is hitting just before Mike Trout. Additionally, when he doesn't […]
Tommy La Stella (2B/3B, LAA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: What a wild ride it has been for Tommy La Stella.

Ronny Rodriguez (1B/2B/3B/SS, DET) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is Ronny Rodriguez's true talent level reflected in his current .305/.344/.644 line? Absolutely not, but that doesn't mean he can't be useful to your fantasy squad. Even after this hot streak peters out, the 27-year-old may have some sneaky value in deep and AL-only […]
Eric Sogard (2B/SS, TOR) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Since the Toronto Blue Jays called up Eric Sogard to the big leagues, he's done nothing but produce. In his 18 games since April 16, he's hit .328 with four homers, 12 runs, 12 RBI, and two stolen bases. The Jays have […]
Tucker Barnhart, Jesse Winker Sitting Sunday
Cincinnati Red's catcher Tucker Barnhart and outfielder Jesse Winker will start Sunday's game against the Giants on the bench.

Jason Kipnis Out Of The Lineup Sunday
Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is resting in Sunday's series finale with the Athletics.

In his limited action, he holds a 26 K% […]
Dee Gordon Expects To Avoid Injured List
Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is "feeling better" and doesn't expect to need a stint on the injured list after being hit by a pitch in the wrist on Thursday night.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 7
We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]
Fantasy Baseball Op Ed - Game of Thrones Edition
Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube (hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones. I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, […]
The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 7
As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day IL with a strained left hamstring that he aggravated in Friday's contest. He will be eligible to return on May 20th, and Aledmys Diaz will get the majority of the starts at second while Altuve is recovering. This is only the second injured […]
Jonathan Villar Continues To Slump In May
Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar went 1-for-5 with a double and three strikeouts in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Angels. The 28-year-old started off the season well but has cooled off and is hitting just .231 with two stolen bases in 39 at-bats in May. Villar is still a fantasy asset given his speed […]
