Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 8

We are at the quarter mark of the fantasy season and things are starting to figure themselves out. For example, Kris Bryant has seemingly found his stroke and shut the window closed on buy-low opportunities. Several other players around the league are also beginning to find their groove, yet there are still a few inefficiencies […]

Anthony Rendon Goes Yard on Friday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon had another productive day at the plate on Friday night against the Chicago Cubs. Rendon went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored.

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 8

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Justin Turner Day-To-Day After Leaving Early Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (shin) left the game early on Friday after fouling a ball off his left shin in the third inning, but X-rays came back negative.

Jeff McNeil Should Return Saturday

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway is hoping that infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (abdomen) will be able to start on Saturday. McNeil is day-to-day and struck out in his only plate appearances on Friday, so there's a good chance he's back in there on Saturday against Marlins right-hander Pablo Lopez. McNeil isn't killing it in the […]

Kris Bryant Goes Deep Three Times

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant stayed hot on Friday versus the Nationals. The slugger went 4-for-6 with three home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.

Mike Moustakas is Out of the Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The Brewers are facing a lefty pitcher, so they decided to play matchups and go with a right-handed batter. Hernan Perez will bat sixth and play third base versus Max Fried. Perez can be avoided […]

Angels In The Infield - The Rise of La Stella and Fletcher

The Los Angeles Angels have suffered injuries all across their infield this season, which has led to them being forced to play journeyman utility infielder Tommy La Stella and fringe-prospect David Fletcher in regular roles.
