The Cut List (Week 18) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome to the last Cut List before the July 31 trade deadline. Emphasis on dead, because there has still been little action on the trade front. The next week should be pretty fun if things heat up. For now, however, players are on the team they're on, and judgments should be made accordingly. Stats are […]

Omar Narvaez Collects Four Hits Saturday

Seattle Mariners catcher Omar Narvaez continued his breakout campaign Saturday with a four-hit effort against the Tigers. All of his knocks went for singles, and he scored a pair of runs batting out of the third spot in the lineup for the second start in a row. Narvaez holds a stellar .298/.369/.483 slash line with […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 18 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting 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 […]

J.T. Realmuto Starts At 1B, Homers On Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto made his second start of the season at first base on Wednesday with Andrew Knapp behind the plate. Realmuto went 1-for-4 in the game, hitting his 12th home run of the season. Realmuto has underperformed a bit this year compared with his high expectations, but he's still a big difference-maker […]

Digger Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 17

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 […]

Carson Kelly Homers in Diamondbacks Win

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly only had one hit in the 5-2 victory on Wednesday night, but he made it count as he launched a three-run home run for his 12th homer of the season. Kelly is now batting .200 in the month of July, but the home run was his third in his last […]

Stephen Vogt Picks Up Three Hits Wednesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Stephen Vogt stayed hot in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Cubs, going 3-for-4 with a single, two doubles, an RBI, and a strikeout. The veteran has been on fire since the All-Star break, batting .357 with eight extra-base hits and six RBI. He is worth a look in two-catcher leagues given […]

Pau Gasol Signs With Trail Blazers

Free agent center/power forward Pau Gasol has signed a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, where he'll likely back up starting center Hassan Whiteside. Gasol's reached a point in his career where his presence on the floor isn't really that useful for anyone, and it's hard to see him having much fantasy value this […]

Wilson Ramos Gets Rest Day

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran catcher. Tomas Nido will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Dinelson Lamet. Ramos could be a trade candidate […]

Francisco Mejia Sitting Wednesday

San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the New York Mets. Mejia has been stellar since returning from the minors in June, and even more so since the break. In eight games since the break, Mejia is slugging .827 and has two home runs, four runs and five […]

Wilson Ramos Not In Lineup Wednesday

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos is not in the lineup Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. Ramos, who should be back behind the plate on Thursday, was starting to come alive at the plate but has cooled down recently with only five hits in his last 31 at-bats. Tomas Nido will bat eighth and […]

Cubs Activate Willson Contreras, Option Addison Russell

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (foot) has been activated off the Injured List and is back with the team, hitting fifth in the lineup for Wednesday's game. Contreras went on the IL with an arch strain in his right foot on July 14. It's been a great bounce-back season for Contreras, who has been one […]

Gary Sanchez Lands On Injured List

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez was placed on the injured list Wednesday with a left groin strain suffered Tuesday night. Catcher Kyle Higashioka was recalled and will share duties with Austin Romine. Fantasy owners should certainly keep Sanchez stashed. Even by catcher standards, Romine is not a fantasy asset, while Higashioka will presumably play […]

Gary Sanchez Possibly Headed To IL

After the New York Yankees' wild victory over the Minnesota Twins Tuesday night, manager Aaron Boone gave an update on catcher Gary Sanchez.
