How to Approach Hitters With Offseason Mechanical Adjustments

Fantasy baseball is inherently reactive. As proactive as fantasy managers try to be in terms of projecting player performance, there is always an information gap between what MLB players are doing (and plan to do in the future) and the publicly available information that fantasy managers leverage. In no aspect of the game is the […]

Christian Arroyo Leading Off For Second Straight Game

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo is leading off and playing second base Tuesday against the Houston Astros. It's his second straight game at the top of the lineup, which could afford him plenty of fantasy value, particularly in the runs category. Arroyo provided a spark Monday, and continued success could buy him extra […]

Jonathan Villar Returns To Lineup Tuesday

New York Mets third baseman Jonathan Villar (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup and hitting leadoff against Bruce Zimmermann and the Orioles on Tuesday night. Villar has been out for the Mets' last four games while dealing with hamstring tightness, but it appears that he is good to go for tonight's series opener. This […]

Rob Refsnyder Activated Off Injured List

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder (head) has been activated off the injured list. Refsnyder was dealing with a concussion but passed through the protocol testing and will likely return to the lineup for the opening game of the series against the New York Yankees.

Max Muncy Returns To The Lineup On Tuesday

This mini-hot streak is music to fantasy managers […]

Alex Bregman Posting .918 OPS In Road Games

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will try and shake out of a 5-for-27 (.185) slump when the team travels to Boston to take on the Red Sox beginning Tuesday.
