Luke Weaver Leaves Start Due To Forearm Tightness

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Luke Weaver (forearm) left his start Sunday against the San Francisco Giants due to tightness in his right forearm. The only good news is that he allowed one earned run, six hits and two walks with six strikeouts over five innings, leaving with the lead for his fantasy owners. A trainer […]

Taylor Clarke Tries To Cement Role In Rotation

The Cut List (Week 9) - Time to Let Go?

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. This the already last Cut List of May. Time flies, and so too can a player's fantasy value. Stats are through Friday, May 24. As we say every week: Remember that these recommendations are for standard leagues up to 12 teams, which of course means the players can be dropped in […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 9

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

D-Backs Cut John Ryan Murphy

The Arizona Diamondbacks designated catcher John Ryan Murphy for assignment on Saturday to make room for starting pitcher Taylor Clarke on the active roster. Murphy had been serving as Zack Greinke's personal catcher this year, so it'll be worth watching to see if it has any effect on Greinke. Murphy was hitting just .177 in […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 9

We are nearly a third of the way through the fantasy season and things are starting to figure themselves out.

Several other players around the league are also beginning to find their groove, yet there are still a […]

Ketel Marte Drives in Four on Friday

Robbie Ray Picks Up Win Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray earned the win on Friday night against the San Francisco Giants.

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with right AC joint inflammation and recalled outfielder Tim Locastro and infielder Kevin Cron from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.
