Matt Duffy With a Successful Triple-A Rehab Stint

The Rays are wanting to see 25 to 30 comfortable at-bats out of Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy at Triple-A before they give him the nod to come up. He’s up to 19 at-bats and should be in Tampa by the start of their next homestand. Duffy isn’t a game-changer and will have to […]

Last week, we looked at Expected Statistic Underachievers to try to find buy-low candidates. […]

The second half of the 2019 regular season is underway. It'll be a few more weeks before fantasy football starts siphoning off the also-rans, which means extracting value from the waiver wire will continue to be a tough row to hoe. Tough - not impossible. Whatever your league depth, there are freely available players who […]

Jedd Gyorko May Not Return Before September

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko's (back, calf, wrist) wrist isn't responding well and he is still healing from a calf injury. The Cardinals are a month away from re-evaluating what his timeline looks like, and Gyorko won't disagree that it might be hard to see him returning before Sept. 1. It basically equates to […]

Evan Longoria Exits With Foot Discomfort

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria left Sunday's matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers due to foot discomfort. That's a pretty generic injury so we will see how this story develops. Longoria, 33, is on the back end of his career, but has wielded an average bat this season, hitting .239/.317/.446. Having AT&T as a […]

His line for the season currently reads […]

The Cut List (Week 16) - Time to Let Go?

Not a ton has changed since last week given the one combined real game from Monday through Thursday. Friday doesn't exactly give us enough new information, either: as if Josh Bell opening the second half 0-for-4 would make anyone panic. That said, there are still decisions to be made. Fewer, given the lack of new […]
