The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?
Welcome to June, and to something a little different this week, although it may end up a one-week affair. Today we suggest a couple cuts each at varying league sizes: 10, 12, and 14-15 teams.

Hunter Dozier Remains Out Saturday
Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (chest) remains out of the starting lineup on Saturday.

Nolan Arenado Pushes Hitting Streak To 11 Games
Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado hasn't been as flashy a piece of the infield as new superstar Trevor Story, but he's still grinding away at third, being one of the most valuable fantasy assets in the game. Overshadowed by Story's seven-RBI game, Arenado quietly went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and three RBI, […]

Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 10
Welcome to the RotoBaller waiver wire column which falls in-line with most fantasy “who should I pick up?” articles with a skew towards points leagues. Yes, there is positive correlation to standard 5x5 scoring but in our format, specific categories matter less and the accumulation of total stats is the ultimate objective. For Week 10, […]

Renato Nunez (1B/3B, BAL) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Longtime A's farmhand Renato Nunez saw his prospect star dim in recent years as he began to hear the dreaded "Quad-A" label. He's doing his best to turn that around this season in Baltimore however, mashing 14 home runs with 34 RBI […]
Mike Freeman is Starting at Third Base
Cleveland Indians infielder Mike Freeman is drawing a rare start for the Tribe in Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Freeman normally only plays on rest days for Jose Ramirez. However, Ramirez is sliding over to designated hitter for this contest, so that opens up third base for Freeman. The veteran lefty infielder will […]
Maikel Franco Sitting Out Friday
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Scott Kingery will play the hot corner and hit seventh, while Nick Williams is hitting eighth and starting in left field against Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda. After a blazing start, Franco has cooled off significantly, hitting .160/.200/.247 with a homer […]

Justin Turner Out Again Friday
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. Turner's hamstring injury isn't serious, but the Dodgers are just being careful with the veteran to keep him fresh all year. There's a good chance he's back in there on Saturday. Max Muncy is […]
Matt Carpenter Back In Leadoff Spot Friday
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter is back in the leadoff spot on Friday against Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish. As a result, outfielder Dexter Fowler, who has one hit in his last six games (.050 average), is being moved down to the No. 6 spot. On the flip side, Carpenter has eight hits […]
Hunter Dozier Out Friday
Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (chest) is not in the starting lineup on Friday after leaving the game early on Thursday with an injury. Dozier is having a breakout season for KC this year, so hopefully he's able to return sometime this weekend. Cuthbert was called up from Triple-A Omaha after a successful […]
Pablo Sandoval Serving As DH Friday
San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval is the designated hitter and will bat fifth on Friday against Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner. Sandoval has actually been one of San Fran's better stories this year, as the 32-year-old veteran is hitting .288/.321/.596 with seven home runs, 15 runs, 18 RBI and a steal in 104 […]
Chris Owings DFA'd, Cheslor Cuthbert Brought Up
The Kansas City Royals designated infielder/outfielder Chris Owings for assignment on Friday and called up third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. Owings was bad with KC in his 135 at-bats, hitting .133/.193/.222 with two homers, nine runs, nine RBI and four stolen bases. Cuthbert will take his spot as the […]
