Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 12

Injuries suck. We've always known this, but the move to a 10-day disabled list last year along with numerous injuries to high-profile players this year have slapped fantasy owners in the face with the hard, cold hand of reality. Injuries can cause huge shifts in value for fantasy players, so it's always wise to assess […]

Johan Camargo Drives In Two Runs In Loss

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo did what he could to help the Braves win on Friday, slashing a two-run single in the second to briefly tie the game. Sadly, he couldn't also pitch in relief as the bullpen imploded en route to a 9-3 loss. He's now got 23 RBI, which isn't too bad […]

Brandon McCarthy Guts Out Nearly Six Innings In Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy, who has a ... let's say... tenuous grasp on his spot in the rotation, began Friday night's game in less than stellar fashion. He gave up two runs, but then kept San Diego off the board until he departed in the sixth, having gone 5 2/3 frames while striking […]

Julio Teheran Will Start on Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran (thumb) is scheduled to return against the San Diego Padres on Sunday, according to manager Brian Snitker. He landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a thumb contusion, but did not require a rehab start. Teheran has not pitched well lately, but is expected to have favorable […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. […]

Ozzie Albies Drives In Run As Atlanta Beats San Diego

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is learning that it's a long season with ups and downs. He had a down period earlier, but he's coming back to life again. He didn't homer on Thursday, but he did drive in a run to help the Braves beat the Padres 4-2. He's now got 41 RBI […]

Ender Inciarte Drives In Two Runs As Braves Beat Padres

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte is useful in fantasy baseball for one reason and one reason only: his legs. He's got an MLB-leading 20 steals and we're barely in mid-June. He did add some value on Thursday night, hitting a solo homer and driving in another run as Atlanta beat San Diego. Still, he's your […]

Anibal Sanchez Stymies Padres For Seven Innings In Win

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez continued his strong season on Thursday night, blanking the San Diego Padres for seven frames. The veteran right-hander struck out six Friars and walked none. Overall, he's now 3-0 and has a sparkling 1.93 ERA. How long can this continue for a pitcher with a 4.06 lifetime ERA? Ride […]

Austin Riley Still Recovering From Knee Sprain

Atlanta Braves third base prospect Austin Riley is still recovering from a sprained right knee that sent him to the disabled list on June 3. It's a shame for fantasy owners and Riley, as he was inching closer to a big league promotion. Riley has hit .308 with 10 home runs and 38 RBI in […]

Max Fried Dominates On Thursday

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Max Fried struck out 11 batters over seven innings on Thursday for Triple-A Gwinnett. Fried also allowed three hits, one run and didn't allow a walk. Fried is now 2-3 with a 4.23 ERA in seven starts with 39 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings. He remains one of the better pitching […]

Julio Teheran Could Return Sunday Against Padres

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran (thumb) might be ready to return from his stint on the 10-day disabled list. Teheran has been sidelined since June 5 with a right thumb contusion, but will throw another bullpen session on Thursday. If the pitcher doesn’t have any setbacks, he could start Sunday against the San Diego Padres. […]

No Date Set For Rehab Games For Ronald Acuna

The Atlanta Braves have not set a date for outfielder Ronald Acuna (knee) to begin rehab games. The 20-year-old has been on the disabled list since the end of May with an ACL sprain but should begin his rehab games soon, even if they have not been set yet. It is unlikely that he gets activated […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 11)

The Tampa Bay Rays decided to call up their entire minor league system this past week. Well, not their entire team, but three notable prospects all got the call this past week and if they sell off the rest of their team, which seems not unlikely, we could see more minor leaguers come up in […]

Dansby Swanson Scores Run In 2-0 Win Over Mets

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has had a decent June with three multi-hit games so far and five games with at least a hit. That was the case on Wednesday when he went 1-for-4 and scored a run on Freddie Freeman's RBI single. He won't knock your socks off at shortstop, but he won't kill […]

Arodys Vizcaino Preserves Shutout For Save No. 12

Atlanta Braves closer Arodys Vizcaino didn't have a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday. He had to dance around a walk and a hit, but he still wound up shaking Kurt Suzuki's hand after nailing down save No. 12 on the season. As of now, he's in the top 10 for saves, which means he should […]

Freddie Freeman Drives In Both Runs As Braves Shut Out Mets

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, also known as the Mets killer, had another day of hurting his division rival. Freeman went 2-for-4 with a homer and an RBI single on Wednesday as the Braves won, 2-0. The lefty-hitting slugger is still at a .344 average and is one of the most destructive forces in […]

Mike Soroka Muzzles Mets For Nearly Seven Innings In Win

Well, that was a nice way for Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka to come back. The rookie held the New York Mets hitless through six innings on Wednesday and gave up only one hit in 6 1/3 frames - a single to Michael Conforto. Soroka then left the game after striking out Todd Frazier, […]

Mike Soroka Activated For Start Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (shoulder) has been activated off of the 10-day disabled list and is starting Wednesday against the New York Mets. The right-hander hit the disabled list in mid-May with a shoulder strain but looked good on his rehab stint and is ready to go for Wednesday. Soroka has a 3.68 ERA […]

Kurt Suzuki Returns To Lineup Wednesday

Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki (flu) returns to the lineup Wednesday, batting fifth against the New York Mets. The catcher was battling the flu while the Braves were in Los Angeles. Suzuki has been solid at the plate this year with an .809 OPS and seven homers. He is a fine catcher option whenever he is […]

Anibal Sanchez To Start Thursday

Atlanta Braves pitcher Anibal Sanchez will start Thursday against the Padres. It is unsure where the pitchers in the starting rotation will fit with Julio Teheran returning from the disabled list Friday, but it will be Sanchez who will get the nod in the opener against San Diego. Sanchez has a 2.37 ERA with 26 […]

Nick Markakis Has Strong Night At Plate To Help Braves Beat Mets

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis continued his strong season, going 3-for-4 on Tuesday night with an RBI. Overall he's hitting .333 with eight homers and 44 RBI. The power numbers aren't eye-popping but everything else is pretty darn good. He's more than deserving of an outfield spot in your lineup, even with a tough draw […]

Mike Foltynewicz Masterful In Five Frames Against Mets

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz briefly had people wondering if he was going to throw a no-hitter against the Mets on Tuesday night. Alas, he wound up giving two hits, but no New York hitter crossed the plate when he was on the mound. Ultimately, he struck out six and walked no one. There […]

Freddie Freeman Homers As Braves Thump Mets

If it hasn't already happened, Mets fans will start sweating every time Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman strides to the plate. Freeman has taken Chipper Jones' Mets killer mantle and he did it again Tuesday night, going deep on a night that saw him drive in a run and score another run. The hulking […]
