Below is another edition of Nick Mariano's updated 2024 fantasy baseball rankings and tiers for roto leagues (5x5 mixed leagues) […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Updates: JT Realmuto, Clayton Kershaw, Andres Munoz, Joe Musgrove and more....

We are now in the middle of June, as the year and baseball season continues its march to the postseason. As we get closer to the warmer months of the summer, the types of injuries we will see may change. The warmer weather makes players more prone to cramping up and muscle injuries. These injuries […]

Jake Eder Turns In Best Outing At Double-A

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Jake Eder turned in his best start at Double-A on Thursday, where he tallied 10 punchouts across six innings of one-run ball. He allowed three hits and two free passes. This was a nice bounce-back performance, as he allowed five runs across 3 2/3 innings in his previous start. […]

Tommy Pham Reinstated From Injured List

The Chicago White Sox announced on Friday that they have reinstated outfielder Tommy Pham (ankle) from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder Zach DeLoach and right-hander Jordan Leasure to Triple-A Charlotte in corresponding moves. Right-hander Chad Kuhl also had his contract selected from Charlotte. While the lineup isn't out yet, Pham figures to be […]

2024 MLB Power Rankings: Week 12

Our top-five teams all lost yesterday, but that won't temper my excitement for a few big weekend series coming up. The Baltimore Orioles will host the Philadelphia Phillies while the Kansas City Royals will try to prove they belong with the upper echelon of teams when they travel to Los Angeles to take on the […]

Andrew Vaughn Stays Hot With Another Homer

Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in Thursday's victory versus the Seattle Mariners. The homer was his second in three games for the first baseman that has been swinging a hot bat of late. Vaughn was pretty much invisible for much of the season, […]

Tanner Banks Locks Down Second Save

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Tanner Banks earned his second save of the season in an extra-innings contest versus the Seattle Mariners. Banks came on in the bottom of the 10th inning to lock down the victory and sent Tyler Locklear and Josh Rojas to the bench with strikeouts before getting Luke Raley to pop-out […]

Garrett Crochet Strikes Out 13 Thursday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet was masterful against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, punching out 13 over seven innings in a 3-2 win. He allowed only two hits and two walks. Crochet was left with a tough-luck no-decision, but that doesn't change the fact that this was one of the most dominant starts […]

Tommy Pham Expected To Return On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Tommy Pham (ankle) is expected to return from the injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pham has been sidelined since June 3 with a left ankle sprain, but he has played in the Arizona Complex League over the last couple days. The 36-year-old has been surprisingly productive […]

Eloy Jimenez Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with the Arizona Complex League White Sox on Thursday night. Jimenez has been out since May 22 with a left-hamstring strain. It is not clear how many rehab games Jimenez requires, but it seems likely that he will return to the […]

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/13/24) - Today's Top Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! There are seven games to occupy our Thursday evening in baseball DFS.

Edgar Quero Slugs Three Homers In Big Week

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero was acquired from the Angels during Los Angeles' brief window of aggressive buying last July. He's one of the best defensive catchers in the minors and should have no trouble staying (and contributing) behind the dish long-term. He frames pitches well and is capable of throwing out plenty […]

Tommy Pham Could Return Thursday

The Chicago White Sox activated outfielder Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, and they could do the same for outfielder Tommy Pham (ankle) as early as Thursday, the first day he's eligible to come off the IL. Pham started a minor-league assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday and […]

Andrew Benintendi Returns From Injured List

The Chicago White Sox reinstated outfielder Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, but he's not in the starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryce Miller. Benintendi had been playing in minor-league rehab games in Arizona before being activated and went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs […]

Luis Robert Jr. Sitting Out On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a routine rest day for Robert who has been sluggish since returning from the injured list. Robert is slashing ,182/.237/.491 with five home runs and eight RBI in 14 […]

Noah Schultz Dominating In Double-A

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Noah Schultz started the 2024 season with High-A Winston-Salem, posting a 3.95 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 42:7 K:BB in 27 1/3 innings. Following a start on May 18, he was promoted to Double-A Birmingham. Since then, he's been impeccable. Through 11 2/3 innings, he's allowed just five hits, one run, […]

Drew Thorpe Impresses In Debut

Despite pitching well in his big-league debut, Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Drew Thorpe earned a tough luck no-decision. Thorpe threw five scoreless innings before being pulled and allowed three hits, two runs (one earned), two walks and recorded four strikeouts versus the Seattle Mariners. The 23-year-old looked impressive, but poor defense and a bad […]

Should I Stash Ricky Tiedemann In Redraft Leagues? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook

The fifth starter's role in Toronto has been in flux all season.

Cuban Yariel Rodriguez began the season on the IL with a back injury and is […]

Champ or Chump: Drew Thorpe and Mitchell Parker Fantasy Baseball Outlooks

They say that pitching wins championships. That might be true, but bad pitching loses championships far more quickly. While most leagues have only one offensive rate stat (batting average or OBP), there are two for pitching (ERA and WHIP). If your league has an innings cap and counts strikeouts, K/9 effectively becomes a third rate […]
