New York Islanders center Jordan Eberle might be a bit overshadowed by both John Tavares and Mathew Barzal, but he's been putting together a pretty good season too. On Friday night, he had two assists to give him 32 on the season, but it wasn't enough as New York fell, 5-4. If you need a […]

Austin Barnes (C/2B, LAD) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 36% owned ANALYSIS: Barnes pushed aside Yasmani Grandal for starts down the stretch last year by rocking an .895 OPS with eight homers and four steals in 262 plate appearances, which led to his also starting over Grandal through much of the postseason.

Tyler Flowers Leaves Opening Day Game With Oblique Discomfort

It's a good thing that the Atlanta Braves decided to carry three catchers on their Opening Day roster. Tyler Flowers left Thursday's game against the Phillies with oblique discomfort.

Robinson Chirinos with Four K's in Opener

Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos went hitless across four at-bats on Opening Day, striking out each time.
