Dan Jennings Quietly Having A Solid Year

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Dan Jennings pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings allowing two hits while striking out one in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies.

Brandon Woodruff Gets Crushed For Seven Runs

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff went only three innings giving up nine hits, seven runs, and one walk while striking out one in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies.

Tommy Kahnle Poised To Return In Less Than Two Weeks

No longer dealing with the symptoms of right shoulder tendonitis that landed him on the disabled list, New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle is inching closer and closer towards returning.

Justin Grimm Could Start Rehab Assignment on Monday

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Justin Grimm (back) could start a rehab assignment at Omaha on Monday, according to manager Ned Yost. Grimm threw a bullpen session on Tuesday, and it reportedly went well. He's given up 17 runs in seven innings this season. Fantasy owners should avoid Grimm right now.

Brett Cecil Activated Off The DL

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Brett Cecil (shoulder) has been activated off the disabled list. The Cardinals likely wanted him to get in more than two rehab appearances. However, Tyler Lyons (back) went down, so the Cardinals decided to give Cecil an opportunity. Cecil has been out since late March due to left shoulder inflammation. […]

Tyler Lyons Heads to Disabled List

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Tyler Lyons (back) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. The team is calling the injury a mid-back strain. This could explain his 6.17 ERA through 18 appearances this season. It's unclear how long Lyons will be sidelined right now. He's not worth holding onto in any leagues at […]

Tommy Kahnle Could Return Soon

New York Yankees relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle (shoulder, biceps) could be activated off the disabled list before the end of the Yankees road trip from May 15-23. He resumed throwing off the mound this week, but still is not quite ready to return yet. Kahnle will need a few rehab appearances before he's ready to […]

Anibal Sanchez Throws Sim Game on Friday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (hamstring) threw a simulated game on Friday without any issues. He might throw another sim game next week or start a rehab assignment. Sanchez was pitching well before his injury, but there is no spot for him in the Braves rotation anymore. He agreed to come out of the […]

Jordan Lyles Makes Decent First Start

Tim Lincecum Struggles In Second Outing

Tyler Olson Placed on Paternity Leave

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Tyler Olson was placed on the paternity leave list on Friday. He'll miss the weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. This transaction allowed Cleveland to activate Andrew Miller from the disabled list, but it is only a temporary fix. With a 6.75 ERA in 15 games, Olson might be the […]

Andrew Miller Activated From the Disabled List

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list on Friday. A strained hamstring cost Miller a couple of weeks, but he should be back to being one of baseball's best relievers right away. The Cleveland bullpen struggled a bit without him, so it won't just be fantasy owners that are […]

Brent Suter Likely To Start Sunday Against Rockies

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brent Suter is likely to get the call on Sunday to start against the Colorado Rockies. With the newfound injury to Wade Miley as well as the injury to Zach Davies, the rotation remains quite injury-plagued at the moment, and it only makes sense for Suter to come out from the bullpen […]

Darren O'Day Receives Positive News From MRI

Blake Wood Nearing Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Angels reliever Blake Wood (elbow) threw off a mound for the first time on Wednesday and will repeat the workout again on Friday.

Steven Wright to Return to Red Sox as Reliever

Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright (knee) is primed to join the Red Sox bullpen once he returns from his 15-game domestic-violence suspension. Wright underwent left knee surgery during the offseason and has been rehabbing with Triple-A Pawtucket. The Red Sox get added pitching depth with Wright back in the fold, but for now manager […]

Elieser Hernandez Activated from DL Thursday

The Miami Marlins activated reliever Elieser Hernandez from the 10-day disabled list on Thursday, and later that night he made his season debut against the Atlanta Braves. A Rule 5 pick from the Astros, Hernandez threw two innings in the Marlins blowout loss, allowing only two hits and no runs. Hernandez has a career 3.37 […]

Bud Norris Returns With His Eighth Save of the Season

St. Louis Cardinals closer Bud Norris (triceps) returned to the mound on Thursday and locked down his eighth save of the year. He tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning, striking out the first batter he faced, then inducing two fly-ball outs to end the game. Norris is now 8-for-8 in save chances with a 2.45 ERA […]

Craig Kimbrel Locks Down Victory with 10th Save

Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel came on to secure the 5-4 victory against the Yankees Thursday. He pitched a clean ninth inning with no walks and one strikeout. Kimbrel continues to be the elite closer and brings in a 13.22 K/9 and 2.20 BB/9 every time he comes to the mound.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/11/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We’re ignoring the interleague game in Chicago between the White Sox and Cubs, because of the 2:20pm (EST) start. Sorry, Chicago fans. However, we still have a 14-game Friday slate.

MLB Closers and Saves Targets for Week 7

After a relatively quiet few weeks in bullpens across the league, this past week brought us more than enough noise. Injuries, both with closers heading to the disabled list and closers coming back, have shaken up a few pens. A closer who was filling in for an injured closer got injured. One of the best […]

Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 7

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 7. One-inning middle relievers are the constant sources for holds and specialists can manage to secure a hold even with one out. However, while specialists can get many […]
