Let's take a look at injured hitters including Mike Trout, Juan Soto, Starling Marte, Tommy Edman, Willson Contreras, […]

Marlins Looking At Tim Anderson

The Miami Marlins are looking at Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson as they look to upgrade their offense in order to keep up in the ultra-competitive National League East. Anderson has finally gotten hot in the second half, but he still ranks last in OPS among all qualified hitters in 2023. However, his approach […]

Brayan Rocchio Hit Streak Up To 16 Games

Cleveland Guardians shortstop prospect Brayan Rocchio extended his hit streak to 16 games with a home run and a single in a 2-for-4 showing for Triple-A Columbus. During this hit streak, the 22-year-old has slashed .379/.468/.545 with a home run, 17 runs, 13 RBI, and a 1.14 BB/K ratio. He already debuted with Cleveland this […]

Luisangel Acuna Hits Seventh Home Run

Texas Rangers middle-infield prospect Luisangel Acuna hit his seventh home run of the season in a monster 4-for-5 showing for Double-A Frisco. He is now slashing .315/.379/.452 with 50 RBI and 66 runs. The fleet-footed 21-year-old swiped two bags on Wednesday, now up to an astounding 41 steals in 82 games this season. The uber-athletic […]

Overvalued, Undervalued Trade Targets - Buy/Sell for Fantasy Baseball (Week 18)

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball. It's almost as important as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and witness their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Zach Neto To Play In Thursday's Game 2

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (back) has missed the past three games due to a back issue. However, according to manager Phil Nevin, the rookie was supposed to play Wednesday before the postponement and will start in Thursday's game two against Matt Manning and the Detroit Tigers. That's positive news for all fantasy owners, […]

All-In-One MLB DFS Staff Picks and Analysis 7/27/23 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! MLB has deemed it wise to leave us with three games for our main DFS slate as we warm up for the weekend. The pickings will be slim, but that doesn't mean our earnings will be. Tonight's action starts at 7:10 PM EST as […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/27/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We have our lightest Thursday in months, made even lighter because both sites left off both games of the Tigers/Angels double dip. That leaves us three games tonight, but we still have some interesting ones out there with two of them being rivalry games. This article contains my picks for the three-game main slate on […]

Rob Manfred Receives Four-Year Extension

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred received a third term as the league's commissioner on Wednesday when his contract was extended by four years until Jan. 25 of 2009. Manfred will now be around to guide the MLB owners through another round of collective bargaining with the players, which will be his third as a […]

Dodgers Acquire Amed Rosario

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired shortstop Amed Rosario from the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. This deal makes sense for the Dodgers who have experienced issues in the field all season long. Rosario is on the last year of his deal before free agency, so it sounds like Guardians weren't interested in extending him long […]

Marco Luciano Batting Eighth In MLB Debut

San Francisco Giants shortstop Marco Luciano is set to make his highly-anticipated MLB debut against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. The Giants decided to call up the 21-year-old after he played only six games at Triple-A Sacramento. He's slashing .235/.342/.469 slash line with 13 homers, 35 RBI over 62 games in the minors this season. […]

CJ Abrams Provides A Walkoff Single To Defeat Rockies

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams logged a walk-off single in the ninth inning to knock off the Rockies 5-4 on Wednesday. The Nationals recorded all but one of their runs in the ninth frame, primarily relying on four walks and a hit-by-pitch to do the damage. Washington's two hits were ground balls through the infield […]

Dylan Moore Cranks Two Home Runs In Mariners Win

Seattle Mariners infielder Dylan Moore smacked two home runs in an 8-7 victory over the Minnesota Twins Wednesday. Moore went 3-for-4 with four RBI in the contest. The 30-year-old is hitting just .186 after returning from an injury last month. However, he has shown much power since being back in the lineup, as he recorded […]

Trea Turner Not Playing Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is taking the day off on Wednesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Edmundo Sosa will replace him at shortstop and bat in the nine-hole against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Turner's disappointing first season in Philadelphia has continued of late, as he's gone 4-for-27 (.148) with no homers, a double, a […]

Gunnar Henderson Taking A Seat Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson (back) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez. The 22-year-old departed Tuesday's contest late with lower back discomfort, but it's likely he was going to start this one on the bench regardless considering he is hitting just .206 with two […]

Enrique Hernandez Starting For The Dodgers Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Enrique Hernandez is starting at second base and hitting sixth Wednesday afternoon against the Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. The Dodgers brought the versatile Hernandez back in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday and will immediately plug him into the starting lineup against a left-handed pitcher. […]

Masyn Winn Continues Push Towards St. Louis

St. Louis Cardinals' shortstop prospect Masyn Winn continues to flash his athleticism and plate improvements for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds. Winn homered again for Memphis on Tuesday and currently sports a .288/.358/.463 slash line. The 21-year-old has already hit a career-high 14 home runs in just 90 games while only striking out at a 16% clip. St. […]

Tigers And Angels Postponed Wednesday

The scheduled contest on Wednesday between the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels has been postponed due to thunderstorms in the Detroit area. The contest will be made up on Thursday as part of a straight doubleheader with the first game starting at 1:10 pm ET with the second contest kicking off 40 minutes after […]

J.P. Crawford Sitting Out Against Twins

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (knee) had a planned day of rest coming on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins before he was hit in the knee by a pitch on Tuesday night. With Crawford resting, Dylan Moore will get the nod at shortstop and bat eighth against Twins right-hander Joe Ryan. It remains to be […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Reports for Hitters - Updates for Juan Soto, Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve, Yandy Diaz, Starling Marte, more

Four months of the 2023 MLB season are almost in the books, so as always, there are plenty of key fantasy hitters dealing with minor or major ailments. There are even more injuries to deal with than usual this week, so fantasy managers will have to keep an eye out for the latest updates. Let's […]

Joey Ortiz Racks Up Four More Hits

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Joey Ortiz went 4-for-4 with two runs and two RBI for Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. His strong performance raised his batting average to an impressive .348 to go along with seven home runs, 34 RBI and nine stolen bases. The 25-year-old doesn't have much left to prove on the farm, but […]

Beyond the major league debuts, many players have […]

Giants Promoting Marco Luciano

The San Francisco Giants are promoting shortstop prospect Marco Luciano to the big leagues on Wednesday, according to MLB Pipeline. The 21-year-old is the club's second-best prospect and the top position player in their farm system. Over 62 games split between Double and Triple-A this season, Luciano owns a .235/.342/.469 slash line with 13 homers, […]

Dansby Swanson Homers Twice, Plates Four Tuesday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson had an excellent game at the plate in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the White Sox. Swanson went 3-for-3 with a single, a solo home run, a two-run HR, four RBI, and a walk. The 29-year-old is having an unexciting but solid first season with his new team, slashing .271/.355/.438 with […]

Trevor Story Could Return As Early As This Weekend

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the team will consider bringing shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) back this weekend. Story is playing shortstop, designated hitter and shortstop again the next three days on his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester. It's possible the Red Sox bring him back sooner, but his timing is off at […]
