Hunter Dozier (1B/3B, KC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: The former eighth overall pick is finally beginning to live up to some of the lofty expectations that were laid on him when he first came into the league. Dozier's 2018 season was a disappointment, but so far in 2019 he has ballooned […]

Joey Wendle (2B/3B/SS/OF, TB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: A hamstring strain has kept Joey Wendle sidelined for the entire month of April, but he's nearly ready to return to action. The 29-year-old was a pleasant surprise for the Rays and fantasy owners alike last season, hitting .300/.354/.435 while stealing 16 bases and […]

Scott Kingery (3B/SS/OF, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: After signing a six-year, $24 million deal last spring that set a record for money guaranteed to a player with no MLB experience, Scott Kingery's rookie season failed to live up to expectations. He appeared overmatched against big-league pitching, with terrible plate discipline and […]

Ji-Man Choi, Brandon Lowe Out Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (calf) is sitting Sunday because of a calf strain. Brandon Lowe will also get the day off with Joey Wendle’s return from the injured list.

Ryan McMahon (1B/2B/3B, COL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: A popular target in the middle-to-late rounds of fantasy drafts after a torrid spring, early returns were disappointing for Ryan McMahon and owners who had invested in his services. He produced a lousy .200/310/.280 line in the season's opening week before landing on the injured […]

Austin Meadows Placed On Injured List

The Tampa Bay Rays placed outfielder Austin Meadows on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a thumb sprain. In a corresponding move, infielder Joey Wendle was activated from the injured list.

Chad Pinder (2B/3B/OF, OAK) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Chad Pinder has been having an odd year. His strikeout rate is cut in half from last season, down from 26.4% last year to just 13.3% so far in 2019. Unfortunately his walk rate has been slashed even further, sitting at a […]

The Cut List (Week 4) - Time to Let Go?

We're past the 10% mark of the season now for this, April's penultimate Cut List. That still doesn't mean free rein to chop off your roster anyone you don't like, but samples are only increasing, playing time divisions becoming clearer, injuries piling up. That said, the Watch-Out list of players to keep for now won't […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 4 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Miguel Andujar Threw on Friday

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) threw without issues to bases on Friday.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Won't Be Called Up This Weekend

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the top prospect in baseball, will not be called up to make his major league debut this weekend, so the earliest he'd be promoted to Toronto would be at some point during next week's homestand.

Deeper NL-Only Waiver Wire Sleepers for Week 3

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Ryon Healy Breaks Slump With Two Long Balls

Seattle Mariners third baseman Ryon Healy ended an 0-for-19 slide at the plate with two home runs on Thursday night versus the Angels.
