Effects of an Innocuous Move: Brian Goodwin to Cincinnati
If you would've told me at the start of the 2020 season that one of the two moves made by the Cincinnati Reds at the Trade Deadline would be for a Major League outfielder, I would've been forced to assume that any four Reds outfielders had been suspended for the season for pulling some sort […]

There are 11 games on the DraftKings main slate on Saturday.

After an amazing slate with a […]
Zac Gallen Eyes Strong Finish To 2020 Friday
Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Zac Gallen had morphed into a National League Cy Young contender before two rough September starts derailed his progress. But he can still close 2020 with a sub 3.00 ERA, with his final start coming Friday versus a Rockies lineup that will be without Nolan Arenado (shoulder). Gallen struck out seven […]

We have a hefty 14-gamer on Wednesday's DraftKings slate. There are a plethora of top arms to choose from in Bieber, Bauer, Giolito, Grienke, Glasnow, and Maeda, while there are also plenty of offenses to target with a nice mix of terrible and inexperienced pitching at the bottom.

Josh Rojas Heads To Injured List With Back Inflammation
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Josh Rojas was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with back inflammation. The 26-year-old slashed .180/.257/.180 across 61 at-bats in 2020.

Ketel Marte Activated Off Of Injured List Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (wrist) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Tuesday evening. Marte has not appeared in a game since Sept. 8 due to wrist inflammation. He owns a .290/.324/.407 slash line across 162 at-bats in 2020, but his lack of counting stats is glaring. The 26-year-old has posted […]
