Week 20 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Rafael Devers Sitting Out on Thursday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in his first game back off the DL on Wednesday. However, the Red Sox want to be careful with Devers and don't want […]

Tim Beckham Hits Home Run In Second Straight Game Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles shortstop/third baseman Tim Beckham flexed his muscle again in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Rays, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk. Beckham has now gone yard in two straight games and is off to a solid start in August, batting .321 with five RBI in seven games. He had […]

Rafael Devers Racks Up Extra Bases In Return Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers hit a double and a homer in support of a 10-5 victory over the Blue Jays Wednesday. The double was his 22nd and the homer, a two-run shot in the sixth inning, was his 16th of the season. This was Devers’ first game back from a hamstring injury […]

Miguel Sano's Game-Tying Home Run Goes To Waste

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano tried his best to be the hero on Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians. Sano hit a game-tying solo home run off of Cody Allen in the top of the ninth inning but it wound up getting overshadowed by a three-run walk-off shot by Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor in the […]

Martin Prado is Back in the Lineup Wednesday

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Prado did not start on Tuesday, so he could get some rest, but is back in the lineup on Wednesday. He will bat sixth and play third base versus righty John Gant. Prado has been […]

Dansby Swanson Sitting Out on Wednesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Johan Camargo will bat sixth and slide over to shortstop against lefty Tommy Milone. Charlie Culberson will fill in at third base and bat eighth on Wednesday. Both Culberson and Camargo could be decent cheap option […]

David Bote Starting on Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Ben Zobrist (hip) is sidelined, which opens up a door for Bote to see more playing time. Bote is playing third base and batting fourth versus righty Heath Fillmyer. Bote is a solid cheap option for DFS […]

Justin Turner Gets Two Hits Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 2-for-5 with a single and a double in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the A's. Since returning from the disabled list with a groin strain, Turner has hit .308 in 13 at-bats. Hopefully, the 33-year-old can stay healthy down the stretch and help out his fantasy owners. He […]

Jurickson Profar Leading Off Wednesday

Texas Rangers utility player Jurickson Profar will get the start at third base and lead off Wednesday. Shin-Soo Choo is having a day on the bench and Adrian Beltre is playing as the designated hitter. Profar has had a lot of success at home this year with nine of his 12 home runs coming in […]

Jeimer Candelario Knocks 15th Homer

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario hit his 15th home run of the season as the Tigers fell to the Angels on Tuesday. The youngster also added two RBI on a double in the first inning, bringing his RBI total to 43 on the year. After a hot start to the season, Candelario has cooled […]

Miguel Andujar’s Three Hits Lead Way In Chicago Win

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the best hitter on the New York Yankees presently is a rookie. Of course, that wouldn’t be Gleyber Torres. Instead, it’s become Miguel Andujar. The third baseman piled on three more hits Tuesday night in Chicago against the White Sox, including a bloop single to left that drove in the […]

Asdrubal Cabrera’s Big Double Pads Lead

Carrying a 1-0 lead for most of Tuesday night’s game in the desert, the Philadelphia Phillies padded their lead against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the eighth inning. Following a bunt that resulted in a run scored, recently-acquired Asdrubal Cabrera had the biggest hit of the game. The 32-year-old, who’s fresh off a pair of home […]

Rafael Devers To Be Activated Wednesday

The Boston Red Sox will activate third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) from the disabled list on Wednesday and will send infielder Tony Renda back to Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move, according to a source. Devers has been up and down with a .245/.295/.425 slash line but does have 15 home runs, 52 RBI and […]

Matt Carpenter Blasts His 30th Home Run on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter blasted his 30th home run of the season on Tuesday, ending up 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Carpenter's bomb was a solo shot in the eighth inning, and it brought him back into the league lead. Once one of the biggest disappointments on 2018, Carpenter has […]

Kris Bryant Plays Catch Tuesday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) played catch on the field before the game Tuesday, but he hasn't swung a bat since July 23, the last time he felt pain in his left shoulder. Multiple MRI exams have shown no structural damage, but it's a slow process for him to rebuild strength. "I trust […]

Travis Shaw Sitting Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Shaw struggles to hit left-handed pitching, so it's not surprising to see him sitting this one out. Mike Moustakas will bat sixth and play third base against lefty Clayton Richard. However, Moustakas does not […]

Martin Prado Sitting Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Miguel Rojas who normally splits time at shortstop with J.T. Riddle will draw the start at third base. Rojas will bat seventh against Cardinals' righty Miles Mikolas. Rojas is worth an add in NL-only […]

Josh Donaldson Continues To Work Out

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) continues to work out, but he has yet to resume sprinting. The team is hoping he can start sprinting soon, which would be a precursor to rehab games. Donaldson has been a major bust for fantasy owners this year, hitting just .234 with five home runs and […]

Brandon Drury Has Fractured Hand

The Toronto Blue Jays are placing infielder Brandon Drury (hand) on the 10-day disabled list after he was diagnosed with a fractured left hand. In a corresponding move, infielder Richard Urena is being recalled from the minors. Drury didn't pan out for the Yankees and had only four hits in 26 at-bats (.154) in eight […]

Alcides Escobar Records First RBI In Weeks

Kansas City Royals utility man Alcides Escobar knocked in the team's only run on Monday night, tallying his 22nd RBI of the season. It's also his first RBI since July 13, more than three weeks ago. Escobar's drought has partially been caused by a loss of playing time because the team is trying to let […]
