Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

It feels like the baseball season has just started, but we are reaching the conclusion. Alas, that is life in a 60-game season. For fantasy purposes that means it's either playoff time or the final couple of weeks to try and make up ground in Roto leagues. Either way, the waiver wire may not be […]

Justin Turner Notches Three Hits In Return To Lineup

Jeff McNeil With Three More Hits On Tuesday

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil (stomach) was back in the lineup on Tuesday and went 3-for-4 in the Mets 4-1 loss to the Phillies.

Hanser Alberto Held Hitless Tuesday, Continues Cold Streak

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto continued his cold September in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Braves, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Alberto started the season off well but has struggled in September, hitting just .189 with no extra-base hits. Fantasy managers should bench Alberto if they can afford it as he is not producing […]

Yandy Diaz Slowly Progressing Through Hamstring Strain

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (hamstring) is "slowly but surely" recovering from his hamstring strain, according to manager Kevin Cash. Diaz has not appeared in a game since August 31 and has not resumed any baserunning or fielding drills. At this point, it seems unlikely that the Cuban slugger returns before the end […]

Matt Chapman Undergoes Successful Hip Surgery

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (hip) underwent successful labrum-repair surgery on his right hip on Tuesday afternoon. The 27-year-old was recently shut down for the remainder of the 2020 season due to the ailment. The surgery comes with a four-month recovery period, which means Chapman will be ready for the start of the 2021 […]

Nolan Arenado Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup and batting fourth against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. Arenado missed Sunday's game with discomfort in his left shoulder. The 29-year-old is slashing .261/.311/.461 with eight homers and 25 RBI through 165 at-bats in 2020. Arenado is seemingly back to full health […]

Eugenio Suarez Lands On Paternity List Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez was placed on the paternity list prior to Tuesday’s contest against Pittsburgh, allowing Freddy Galvis to enter the starting nine against right-hander Joe Musgrove. Suarez has been scorching hot over the past two weeks, compiling a .720 SLG with six homers and 15 RBI over his past 15 games. […]

Chad Pinder Will Miss Remainder Of Regular Season

Oakland Athletics second/third baseman Chad Pinder is currently on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain, with the news coming down Tuesday that he is done for the remainder of the regular season. Pinder was set to see full-time duties at the hot corner with Matt Chapman (hip) also out for the […]

Justin Turner Returns To Lineup Tuesday, Serves As DH

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring) was activated off of the injured list prior to Tuesday’s contest against San Diego and right-hander Zach Davies, entering the lineup as the designated hitter. Manager Dave Roberts made it clear that Turner would DH for the first three or four games that he appeared in before […]

Max Muncy Receives Day Off Tuesday Amid Slump

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy was out of the starting lineup Tuesday against San Diego and right-hander Zach Davies due to his recent rough patch at the dish.

Giants-Mariners Contests Postponed Tuesday, Wednesday

Yankees Activate Gio Urshela On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela was activated from the injured list on Tuesday. The Yankees had expected Urshela to miss the minimum 10 days with a bone spur in his elbow, and the 28-year-old has followed that timeline with his return on Tuesday. Urshela will look to build off of his strong start […]

Yankees Option Miguel Andujar On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman and outfielder Miguel Andujar was optioned to the team’s alternate site on Tuesday. Andujar’s playing time was getting squeezed with the returns of Gio Urshela, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Judge, but it’s surprising to see the Yankees option him after the 25-year-old posted a .837 OPS over 13 games since […]

Jake Lamb Set For Oakland Debut Monday

Oakland Athletics third baseman/designated hitter Jake Lamb will make his club debut during the second game of Monday’s doubleheader against Seattle, holding down the DH slot. With Matt Chapman (hip) out for the remainder of the season, and Chad Pinder (hamstring) sidelined, the A’s will likely need help elsewhere at the hot corner. After being […]

Kyle Seager Breaks Hitless Streak Monday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager went 1-for-4 in Monday's win over the Athletics. Seager had been struggling recently going hitless in his last five games. The batting average has dropped to .253 in that span as well. This season has been tough for fantasy owners because while Seager had been a top-level third baseman […]

Marwin Gonzalez Scratched From Monday’s Lineup

Minnesota Twins utilityman Marwin Gonzalez has been scratched from Monday’s starting nine against the White Sox due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. Gonzalez was set to hold down the keystone Monday, but he now joins Miguel Sano and Eddie Rosario on the bench with ailments. In 43 games this year, Gonzalez has scuffled mightily to the […]
