Digging Deeper - Waiver Wire Options for Week 22

Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column. Each week, I'll look at five players who are under 15% rostered in Yahoo! leagues and who can be considered as options to add in deep-league formats, such as 15-teamers or AL or NL-only leagues. I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each […]

Champ or Chump: Amed Rosario

With football monopolizing the general media's sports coverage, many fantasy baseball managers begin checking out and thinking more about QBs and RBs than QS and RBI. If you're in the middle of the pack, now could be a good time to make some prudent additions and begin rising up the standings. It's crunch time, folks! […]

Craig Kimbrel Records Loss On Monday

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel suffered a loss on Monday versus the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tim Anderson Miss Third Game In A Row

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (leg) will miss his third game in a row on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The organization claims that Anderson is dealing with general leg soreness. Possibly, the White Sox just want to be cautious with their slugging shortstop down the stretch of the season. Nonetheless, Danny Mendick […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/23/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Monday, Rotoballers! Unlike most of the teams in MLB today, we don't take any days off in DFS land. We are looking at a paltry six-game slate to start the final week of August, but that's okay. I tend to do better on smaller slates compared to the big, 14-game Friday night bonanzas. You […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/23/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a solid Monday with seven games going on, but there is a matinee in Fenway so the FanDuel main slate is six games. Only one pitcher commands five figures for a salary tonight and he plays the Blue Jays, so there really is no clear-cut ace. It's slates like these that can get […]

Yasmani Grandal Out Through Road Trip

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) won't return on the team's current road trip, which concludes Thursday in Toronto, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, citing manager Tony La Russa. The White Sox don't want to push Grandal too much. The veteran, who has been rehabbing at Triple-A Charlotte, is a must-roster catcher in just about […]

Tim Anderson Will Miss Second Straight Game

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Manager Tony La Russa said that Anderson's "legs are barking" and that if it were October, Anderson would be able to play. It's good news that Anderson isn't hurt and is just sore at the moment. […]

This week we have a pretty low-upside […]

Seby Zavala Hits Fifth Homer

Chicago White Sox catcher Seby Zavala went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Zavala's blast in the top of the third inning would put the White Sox on the board, but it wouldn't be enough to hold off the Rays. The catcher has been filling in admirably […]

Dallas Keuchel Picks Up Seventh Loss

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel got hit hard in Saturday's loss versus the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran went five innings and allowed nine hits, six runs, two walks and struck out three on the afternoon.
