Robbie Ray Struggles In The Bay Area

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray allowed four earned runs, six hits and three walks with five strikeouts over four innings in a road loss against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

We have officially passed the halfway mark of the 2019 regular season. Sad, but true. Being right in the thick of things as we are, this is possibly the most challenging time of year to be seeking help on the waiver wire. Fortunately, you've come to the right place for assistance. A reminder before we […]

The Cut List (Week 14) - Time to Let Go?

We're halfway there in the baseball season, but hopefully your fantasy team is living on more than a prayer. (By Jove, that's terrible. Apologies.) Unless it's a points league, categories are starting to take more precedence at this point. Every hitter on this week's Cut List comes with a list of categories in which a […]

David Peralta Resting Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta is absent from the lineup in Sunday's finale against Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants. Ketel Marte will shift to the outfield while Ildemaro Vargas will take over at the keystone. Peralta is getting a routine day of rest, which comes at a good time against a tough left-hander, […]

Christian Walker (1B, ARI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker has continued to hit in the middle of the team's batting order while he has enjoyed his breakout season.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/30/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Welcome to Sunday baseball! We have a 9-game main slate on our hands on DraftKings with plenty to dive into. The game in Coors Field isn't on this slate, so things will be a little bit more balanced on the offensive end. As for pitching, there are a lot of options for just nine games. […]

Eduardo Escobar Collects Three More Hits

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar collected three hits across five at-bats with an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 road win against the San Francisco Giants. He has hit safely in seven of his past eight outings, and he is now slashing .291/.350/.543 with 18 doubles, five triples and 18 home runs while driving in 64 […]

Greg Holland Hangs On For His 12th Save

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Greg Holland allowed a solo home run in the ninth inning to San Francisco Giants catcher Stephen Vogt, but that was the only hit he allowed while striking out two batters for his 12th save of the season on Saturday. Holland has converted 12 of his 14 save chances while posting a […]

Zack Greinke Rolls To His Ninth Victory

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke allowed just four singles and a double across seven scoreless innings with no walks and six strikeouts to move to 9-3 in Saturday's victory at San Francisco. There's something about Oracle Park (formerly AT&T Park) in San Francisco which Greinke loves, as he is now 6-0 in eight career […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/29/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday is always a split slate and this is no different. There are essentially three slates of games, with the London Series game between the Yankees and Red Sox kicking us off at 1:10 pm. That game stands alone before another eight games take to the field after 4 pm. The day finishes with a […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 14

So we're just about halfway through the season, and we can draw a lot of conclusions about how a player's year is going to go. Some players have been lost to injury time, plenty are underperforming, and there are of course new faces rising. No matter the situation, it could be time for a roster […]

On Vetoes

One of the most enjoyable aspects of fantasy baseball is making trades. It's certainly true that this is not the case in some leagues, because anytime you're dealing with people there's overwhelming potential for people to ruin things. But in the platonic ideal of a league, owners are both active and rational in their negotiations. Here in […]

Alex Young To Make Debut Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Alex Young will be called up from Triple-A Reno to make his major league debut on Thursday against the Giants. The 25-year-old left-hander should not be a fantasy option in any format and could just be up for this one spot start. Young is sporting a rough 6.09 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, […]

Taylor Clarke Earns Win on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Taylor Clarke pitched well on Wednesday in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Clarke went five innings, allowing just two runs on three hits to go along with three strikeouts. It was a nice rebound performance for the young righty, who has struggled this season for the D-backs in the starting […]

Ketel Marte Remains Scorching Hot

Although he did not start on Wednesday, Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte stayed hot at the plate with a base hit in his lone pinch-hit appearance. Marte is going through a ridiculous stretch that has seen him go 22-for-34 at the dish, while raising his batting average to .316 in the process. The young […]

Jake Lamb Batting Fifth In Return From IL

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jake Lamb (quadriceps) is playing first base and batting fifth in his return from the injured list on Wednesday. Christian Walker sits. Also of note in Arizona's lineup are the absences of Ketel Marte, who sat with a groin injury on Saturday and Sunday, as well as Adam Jones. Lamb will probably have […]

Robbie Ray Takes Hard-Luck Loss Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray was hit with a tough loss on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ray tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits to go along with nine strikeouts. The southpaw was cruising through six innings before coughing up two runs in the seventh. The D-backs could not bail […]

Alex Young To Make MLB Debut On Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-handed starting pitcher Alex Young will be recalled from Triple-A Reno to make his major league debut Thursday in San Francisco, manager Torey Lovullo said. Young has posted a 6.09 ERA across 54 2/3 innings, but he has managed 64 strikeouts. Don't put too much stock into his ERA in the PCL, as […]
