Dansby Swanson Homers in Second Straight Game

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson hit his second home run in as many games on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a walk in Atlanta's 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers. Swanson hit his 12th home run of the season off of Matthew Boyd in the third inning, a two-out two-run shot. He scored twice and drove […]

Nick Markakis Sitting Against Lefty

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The Braves will give Markakis the day off against the left-handed starter. Switch hitting Johan Camargo will play right field and bat seventh versus lefty Matthew Boyd. Camargo won't have much fantasy value against Boyd in […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

Week 10 provides a number of young arms and a few pitchers whose limitations make them easy to overlook. I’m particularly excited about the Indians’ calling up Zach Plesac. I’m not sure what happens when Mike Clevinger gets back, but Plesac looks like a legitimate SP2 talent. A reminder before we begin: This column focuses […]

The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome to June, and to something a little different this week, although it may end up a one-week affair. Today we suggest a couple cuts each at varying league sizes: 10, 12, and 14-15 teams. Recommendations in one league size obviously apply to smaller leagues. You can also feel free to drop a shallower suggestion […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 10

May is coming to an end, but luckily, buy and sell windows are still open on a certain set of players discussed in today's piece. There is nothing worse than seeing one of your guys underperform, but if that is the case, eight times out-of-ten it is most prudent to hold on until they at […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 10

So we're two months into the season, and a lot of pictures are becoming more clear. Maybe you hitched your wagon to Joey Votto and are in need of a corner infielder?

Closers and Saves Report - Week 9 Waiver Wire

There are currently at least NINE bullpens in Major League Baseball operating with a closer-by-committee approach. While it has been heavily discussed and essentially proven to be the best option in a "real" game, it sure makes for a headache in the fantasy baseball world where there can oftentimes be a bicycle race (✔) to […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 9 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 27th (unless otherwise noted).

Matt Joyce Back With Braves

The Atlanta Braves reinstated outfielder Matt Joyce from the bereavement list on Tuesday. The 34-year-old Joyce is mainly a pinch-hitting option for Atlanta but will see the occasional start in the outfield against a right-hander. He's hitting .250/.345/.458 with two homers and five RBI in just 48 at-bats on the season. Joyce really only comes […]
