I'll be filling in for Justin on this full Tuesday main slate. Chris Sale is the top target at pitcher in cash games, priced $300 below Gerrit Cole and facing a strikeout prone Rays lineup. That will require some punt/low-priced bats to fill in lineups after, several of which will be highlighted in today's articles. […]

Mike Foltynewicz Gets No Run Support In Loss To Phillies

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz went six innings on Monday night and gave up a mere run, a homer to Nick Williams.

DJ LeMahieu is the latest injury casualty in the middle infield. The Rockies’ second baseman has hit the disabled list for the second time already this year, this time with a sprained thumb.

Champ or Chump: Dustin Fowler & Austin Meadows

Fantasy owners have been struggling with stolen bases since rotisserie baseball was invented.

MLB Closers and Saves Targets for Week 8
