For those keeping track of some of last week's […]
Braves Reinstate A.J. Minter From The Injured List
The Atlanta Braves reinstated left-hander A.J. Minter (hip) from the 15-day injured list on Monday. Minter will return from the injured list after being out since late May with left-hip inflammation. The 30-year-old veteran southpaw will return to a key late-inning setup role in front of closer Raisel Iglesias, so he'll once again have value […]

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/29/24) - Today's Top Lineups
The good news is that we have a full day of baseball in front of us. The bad news is that both sites chopped up these slates quite a bit. Thankfully, both elected to have the same main slate with eight games in the middle of the day. At least both sites can agree on […]
Charlie Morton Dominates Former Team Friday Night
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton (5-4) dominated his former team Friday night allowing no runs in 6 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts on three hits and no walks in a 6-1 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After a tough May where the 40-year-old right-hander produced an ugly 5.04 ERA, he reversed course in June […]
Michael Harris II Making Progress
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) is reportedly making progress in his recovery from a Grade 2 hamstring strain. The 23-year-old has been taking swings with the bat and throwing but has yet to be cleared for running. Harris has been out since the middle of June and it's tough to put a timetable […]
A.J. Minter To Throw On Sunday
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter (hip) is scheduled to throw on the mound for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. The left-hander is working his way back from left hip inflammation. If everything goes well, Minter should be able to rejoin the Braves bullpen after Sunday's outing. This doesn't mean much in terms of fantasy baseball. […]
Ramon Laureano Held Out On Friday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (back) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 29-year-old is dealing with back soreness, but is hopeful to get back on the field on Saturday. In the meantime, Luke Williams will draw the start in left field and bat ninth versus southpaw […]
2024 MLB Power Rankings: Week 14
Week 14 brings some shake-ups throughout the rankings! I was just reading another article about teams' records and performance tend to stabilize around this time of the season, but we have such a glut of teams stuck in the middle that I think it might take a bit longer this season to sort through that […]
First Base Dynasty Rankings, Prospect Rankings, Buys, and Sells for Fantasy Baseball
After starting this series with the catcher position last article, we'll now shift 90 feet up the right-field line and dive into the first-base position today. As usual, this position is led by longtime stars who are now in their early-to-mid 30s. Most of the time, that three being the first digit of a player's […]
MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/28/24) - Today's Top Lineups
There are no day games Friday, leaving us with packed DFS slates on DraftKings and FanDuel. Still, there aren’t many top-tier pitchers that are set to take the mound, leaving the potential for some high-scoring games. This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/28/2024, with the slate […]
Bryce Elder Sent Back To Minors
The Atlanta Braves optioned right-hander Bryce Elder to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday after he made a spot start for the team during their doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. In his sixth start of the year for Atlanta on Wednesday in Game 2, Elder was hit with a tough-luck loss (his third of […]
Orlando Arcia Back For The Braves On Thursday
Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia (head) is back at shortstop and is batting ninth for Atlanta on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Chad Kuhl. Arcia will make his return for the Braves for the first time since being pulled from Monday's game early due to dizziness. The 29-year-old has been cleared to […]
Catcher Dynasty Rankings, Prospect Rankings, Buys, and Sells for Fantasy Baseball
The halfway mark of the 2024 season is upon us, and what a first half it's been.

Fortunately, the catcher position has been […]
MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/27/24) - Today's Top Lineups
Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! The pre-weekend slate for MLB is always smaller, but the DFS sites have decided to make it a little harder on DFS managers. FanDuel is at least offering us a six-game slate, but DraftKings has narrowed it down to four matchups. Check the lineup lock times on both sites to avoid missing out. […]
Fantasy Baseball Risers and Fallers - Byron Buxton, MacKenzie Gore, Bobby Miller, and More
There is nothing quite like the ebbs and flows of fantasy baseball.

Across the past two months, plenty of recently unknown players have […]
Jarred Kelenic Comes Up Big In Wednesday Doubleheader
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jarred Kelenic had a big day in his team's doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Kelenic started in center field and hit leadoff in both contests, combining to go 6-for-9 with one homer, four RBI, and a stolen base across both games. The 24-year-old has been a solid contributor for […]
Didier Fuentes Tosses Six Scoreless Frames
Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Didier Fuentes, still just 19 years old, signed with the club out of Colombia in 2022. A true athlete, Fuentes has certainly exceeded expectations early in the 2024 season by keeping his strikeout rate relatively high and maximizing his ground-ball rate. He headlines his repertoire with a fastball thrown in the […]
