Yoan Moncada Out Of Tuesday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada will rest on Tuesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Moncada hit a pair of home runs on Monday, but is 0-for-12 with ten strikeouts versus Tuesday’s starter, Carlos Carrasco. Jose Rondon will replace Moncada on Tuesday and can be avoided in a tough matchup.

Eduardo Escobar Has Big Day on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar had a monster day at the plate on Monday in a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Escobar went 3-for-5 with a triple and a home run. He drove in three runs and scored two. Escobar's home run was his eighth of the season and he is now hitting .288 […]

Brendan Rodgers Hits Two Home Runs

Colorado Rockies top prospect Brendan Rodgers continued his pummeling of Triple-A pitching on Monday by drilling a pair of solo homers in Fresno. The 22-year-old has been destroying pitching so far this season to the tune of a 1.060 OPS with nine long balls. He's cut his strikeout rate down to 15.5%, he's walking nearly […]

Kelvin Gutierrez May See Less Playing Time

The Kansas City Royals have been impressed with rookie Kelvin Gutierrez's strong debut in the majors, but he may find himself the odd man out in the near future. KC has elected to call up top prospect Nicky Lopez, and that move could have repercussions across the lineup. Lopez is exclusively a second baseman, but […]

Moncada has cooled off since his hot start to season, but is still hitting .289 with nine home runs, 28 RBI and four stolen bases. Moncada isn’t far removed from being the games top prospect and […]

Kyle Seager Will Begin Rehab Assignment on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday. Seager is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on May 25, so he'll likely rejoin the Mariners then. Seager had surgery in March to repair a partially-torn tendon in his left hand. He should be […]

Jung Ho Kang Lands on the Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Kang hasn't been hitting well this season, so it's probably not the worst thing in the world to give him some rest. Kevin Newman will draw the start at third base and bat seventh versus lefty Robbie Ray on […]

Miguel Andujar Lands Back on Injured List

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) has landed back on the 10-day injured list. Andujar hits the injured list due to a torn right labrum in his shoulder. He could very well have surgery on it and we might not see him for quite some time. He was struggling with the bat since […]

Alex Bregman Slugging .805 In May

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman popped two home runs and drove in five runs in the Astros 15-5 win over the Rangers on Sunday. Bregman hit a two-run blast in the second inning and then added a three-run shot for good measure to put the game away for good. Bregman now has seven home […]

David Fletcher (2B/3B/OF, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fletcher's selling point is simple: He owns a .354 OBP, a .455 SLG and he hits leadoff when the Angels face a right-handed starter. That means that about 60% of the time, Fletcher is hitting just before Mike Trout. Additionally, when he doesn't […]

Ronny Rodriguez (1B/2B/3B/SS, DET) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is Ronny Rodriguez's true talent level reflected in his current .305/.344/.644 line? Absolutely not, but that doesn't mean he can't be useful to your fantasy squad. Even after this hot streak peters out, the 27-year-old may have some sneaky value in deep and AL-only […]

Victor Robles, Howie Kendrick Sitting Against Dodgers

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles is getting Sunday off against the Dodgers, while infielder Howie Kendrick is also resting with a stiff neck.

Fantasy Baseball Op Ed - Game of Thrones Edition

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 7

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 […]
