Matt Chapman Records Three Hits Monday

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 3-for-4 with an RBI in a 3-0 win over the Angels Monday. Chapman had only been on base twice through his first 13 plate-appearances, so hopefully this performance turns things around for him. Expectations were high for the 27-year-old this season after he slugged .506 with 36 homers […]

MLB Hopes Marlins, Orioles Can Play Wednesday

Major League Baseball is hoping that the Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins can play on Wednesday after an outbreak of COVID-19 hit the Marlins depth chart. Commissioner Rob Manfred told Tom Verducci that the plan is for the teams to play at Camden Yards in Baltimore rather than in Miami. The league will conduct testing […]

Marlins and Orioles Game On Tuesday Postponed

Tuesday's game between the Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles has also been postponed due to the Marlins' COVID-19 outbreak. Pending the outcome of COVID-19 tests, the scheduled game between the two teams for Wednesday will either be postponed or moved to Baltimore. It is recommended that fantasy owners in weekly leagues bench any Marlins or […]

Travis Shaw Dealing With Family Matter

Toronto Blue Jays corner infielder Travis Shaw will be away from the team for a few days to deal with a family matter. Ryan Borucki and Wilmer Font were brought up with the recent placement of Ken Giles to the IL. Shaw is 2-for-6 in his first two starts with the Jays, and is looking […]

Anthony Rendon Remains Sidelined

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (oblique) is not in the lineup Monday against the A's. Rendon has been taking ground balls over the weekend and many within in the organization believe he will make his season debut by no later than Wednesday. The injury does not appear to be serious as Rendon has […]

Baltimore Orioles Planning To Leave Miami Monday Night

Monday's game between the Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles has been postponed as the Marlins have announced a total of 12 players and two managers have tested positive for COVID-19. Reports indicate that the Orioles are now planning to leave Miami on Monday night. This clearly calls into question whether the scheduled games between the […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

Entering week two and coming off a short week, give us a small sample to work with. This week, I will lean heavily on match-ups and potential for at-bats via lineup placement. There will be a few repeat names on this list due to the rostered percentage not rising and performance warranting an add. Before […]

Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]

The Early Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome back to the Cut List. Writing this column at this exact moment is an interesting exercise because most cuts are either: really obvious, on account of a player opting out of the season or an injury that will cost several weeks; or the opposite of obvious, on account of no one has played more […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 2

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Brian Anderson Hits A Three Run Blast On Sunday

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson hit a three-run home run on Sunday, finishing 1-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. Anderson also reached by getting hit by a pitch, which he did not seem to enjoy. Anderson finishes the first series of the season with a .300 batting average and a 1.062 OPS. […]

Kyle Seager Doubles Again Sunday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run and a walk in Sunday's victory over the Astros. Seager now has at least one extra-base hit in each of the first three games to start the season including three doubles. Seager won't give fantasy owners much in terms of […]

Jose Ramirez Homers Twice On Sunday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez had a monster day on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs. He's hit safely in all three of the team's games this year. Ramirez is a streaky hitter so it's especially encouraging in a shortened season to see him get off to a […]

Yoan Moncada Sitting On Sunday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is getting the day off on Sunday versus Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda. Danny Mendick will draw the start at the hot corner and bat seventh while Nicky Delmonico will bat out of the two-hole. Moncada tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month and just needs a maintenance day […]

Mike Moustakas Placed On IL With An Illness

According to manager David Bell, Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas was scratched from Sunday's game versus the Tigers with an illness. Josh VanMeter is taking his spot at second base batting fifth versus right-hander Spencer Turnbull. Moustakas woke up not feeling well and won't come to the ballpark for the afternoon contest. Moustakas was placed […]

Brandon Drury Activated From IL

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Brandon Drury was activated off the injured list ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Rays. His injury was never announced, and he never arrived at the team's summer camp earlier this month. Outfielder Billy McKinney was optioned to the team's alternate site in a corresponding move. Drury will provide depth to […]
