Welcome back to the "Are You For Real?" series as we dive into Week 19 of the 2024 fantasy baseball season. There were a lot of interesting starts over the weekend, and this week we're going to break down two young NL righties. First, we'll deep dive into River Ryan's debut week with the Dodgers. […]

Christian Walker Headed For Injured List

The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly placing first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) on the injured list on Tuesday with a strained left oblique and recalled Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Walker left Monday's win over the Washington Nationals and was replaced in the lineup by Kevin Newman. He is hitting .254/.338/.476 with […]

Josh Bell Traded To Arizona

The Miami Marlins traded first baseman Josh Bell to the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash considerations or a player to be named later. Bell adds another bat to the Diamondbacks, who may be without starting first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) for a while after he left Monday's game against the Washington Nationals with an oblique injury. […]

Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (July 2024)

The prospect rankings update after the MLB draft is always an exciting one. We've seen plenty of top prospects graduate over the first few months of the season, so it's nice to finally get some reinforcements to add to the mix and strengthen both this Top 100 and my overall Top 500 as well.

Diamondbacks Demote Yilber Diaz

The Arizona Diamondbacks have demoted starting pitcher Yilber Diaz to Triple-A Las Vegas. The 23-year-old made four starts for the Diamondbacks and with the exception of one terrible outing, he was very effective, making this a head scratching move. The Diamondbacks do have starting pitchers Merrill Kelly (shoulder) and Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) working their way […]

Champ or Chump: Isaac Paredes, Randy Arozarena, and Jazz Chisolm Jr. Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

It's trade deadline day, and fantasy managers are scrambling to keep up with all the moves. A.J. Puk and Hunter Harvey were once top saves specs, but both were traded before "the guy" on their former clubs. That makes them Chumps. Similarly, Jason Adam and Carlos Estevez enter situations where they'll get fewer saves than […]

Merrill Kelly To Throw Simulated Game On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly (shoulder) will throw a three-inning simulated game on Wednesday. Kelly is getting close to making his return to Arizona's starting rotation after suffering a right-shoulder strain that has kept him out since late April. Barring a setback as he continues to stretch out his right arm, the 35-year-old veteran should […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Could Return Next Week

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) will throw a four-inning simulated game on Wednesday and could be an option to come off the injured list to make his debut with the D-backs next week on the road against the Cleveland Guardians, according to manager Torey Lovullo. It's a bit surprising that Arizona isn't going to […]

Christian Walker Leaves Early With Oblique Tightness

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) was taken out of Monday's game early in the fourth inning against the visiting Washington Nationals with left-oblique tightness. Before being replaced at first base by infielder Kevin Newman, Walker struck out in his only at-bat. Oblique injuries typically require injured-list stints, so fantasy managers should begin preparing […]
