Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 21)

With the fantasy playoffs looming around the corner (or, in some instances, in full swing), rookie impact becomes less and less important due to the fact that there simply aren't any great stashes remaining. A top prospect being promoted for a cup of coffee can make a huge impact, but there does not profile to […]

Wilson Ramos Out of the Lineup Again on Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos (hand) is out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive game on Wednesday. He reportedly underwent an MRI on his left hand. That explains why Ramos has been out of the lineup the last two days. It's unclear how serious of an injury this is at the moment. Jorge […]

Robinson Chirinos Returns To Lineup Wednesday

Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos is once again back in the lineup Wednesday. The Rangers now appear committed to rotating Chirinos and Isiah Kiner-Falefa behind the plate on a daily basis. This rotation system at least makes it easy to predict when Chirinos is starting. However, it does mean that Chirinos has become a really […]

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 […]

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. It appears this is a rest day for Ramos after two straight starts.

Gary Sanchez Will Begin Rehab Assignment Thursday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) will begin a rehab assignment in the Gulf Coast League on Thursday. Sanchez should move onto Triple A after that and be back with the Yankees by next week. He's played in just three games for the Yankees since June 24 with a lingering groin issue. It sounds […]

Buster Posey Will Take A Seat On Tuesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will rest on Tuesday versus the New York Mets. It’s just a normal day of rest for Posey and he is replaced by Nick Hundley. Hundley will bat fourth versus Mets starter Steven Matz and is hitting .284 versus lefties this season. Hundley is worth a dart throw in […]

Mike Zunino Mired In 2-For-24 Stretch

Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino is hitting .083 (2-for-24) with 11 strikeouts over his last seven games played heading into Tuesday's action. This comes after a six-game stretch where he hit four home runs but now has eight strikeouts in his last 13 at-bats. The once highly-touted prospect has plenty of power (17 home runs) […]

Austin Romine Passes Concussion Protocol

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine (head) has passed all of his tests in the concussion protocol. Romine remains out on Sunday but should return to the lineup soon as the main catcher with Gary Sanchez (groin) still sidelined. Romine is worth a spot in two-catcher leagues in a potent offense while he's playing regularly. […]

James McCann is Out of the Lineup Saturday

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Grayson Greiner will start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Kohl Stewart. Greiner has been decent with the bat during his limited playing time. Stewart has been awful so far this season, so Greiner […]

Jesus Sucre Hopes To Return Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Jesus Sucre (wrist), who has been out since Wednesday, "feels way better" and is hoping to return to the lineup on Sunday. Sucre isn't much of a fantasy option, as he's batting just .212 with no home runs and only 15 RBI in 132 at-bats for the Rays this year.
