Gonzalez has not pitched since August 22, but the 34-year-old may start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. He owns a 5.11 ERA and 1.86 WHIP through 24 2/3 […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/8/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Yours truly had ample time to mentally dive through Tuesday’s selections as I trekked across the country and rocked out with energy drinks. That isn’t a predictor of success, of course, but let’s just say that I thought about Brandon Belt’s recent hot stretch, how electric Tyler Mahle has looked, and J.D. Davis’ splits against […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

We're three weeks from season's end, and while that still constitutes a third of the games remaining in this abbreviated season, the importance of smart work on the waiver wire can't be overstated. Precious little about 2020 is normal or consistent, but the focus here is the same as it ever was: Players who are […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 8

The injuries to starting pitchers keep adding up and many fantasy owners are well out of IL spots by now.

Luis Robert Swipes Two Bases

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert wanted to remind the division rival Kansas Royals about just how fast he is. The rookie swiped two bags on Sunday and scored a run. Robert was 0-for-2, but he had a good eye and walked twice. The outfield phenom has lived up to all the hype that’s been […]

Edwin Encarnacion Drives In Four Runs

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion enjoyed an afternoon date with the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Encarnacion went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI on the day. The slugger has been nothing more than that this season with eight homers and 15 RBI, but is sporting a weak .179 batting average […]

Dane Dunning (SP, CHW) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: While his third start of the 2020 season didn't live up to the standard he set with his first two turns, Dane Dunning looks like the real deal. The rookie has solid ratios (3.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP) and 18 strikeouts in his 14 innings of […]

Dallas Keuchel Leaves Start With Back Stiffness

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel (back) left his start on Sunday with lower back stiffness after only 49 pitches. Keuchel had been cruising through five innings against the Royals with only two baserunners allowed (both hits), and he was on pace for an 88-pitch complete game before leaving the game. Keuchel is considered […]

Nick Madrigal Resting On Sunday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal will get a day of rest on Sunday. Madrigal recently returned from a shoulder injury. The rookie has really been hitting the ball well with a .372 batting average. Madrigal is a very good contact hitter, but managers shouldn’t expect much power from the second baseman. Danny Mendick […]

Yoan Moncada Sitting On Sunday Against Royals

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada will have Sunday afternoon off against the Royals. It’s not a surprise as Moncada has been dealing with leg soreness throughout the season and hurt his knee on a defensive play Saturday. Manager Rick Renteria also mentioned earlier in the season that his star third baseman would receive […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 8

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Alex Colome Picks Up Second Save In Two Days

Chicago White Sox closer Alex Colome picked up his second save in as many days on Saturday versus the Royals. Colome threw 40 pitches on Friday and it was surprising to see him get the nod again Saturday. If a save chance should occur on Sunday, expect Aaron Bummer or Steve Cishek to get a […]

Jose Abreu Has 40 RBI

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu continued his strong season with home run number 13 on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. It was his only hit in four ties and he also had a pair of RBI. Abreu has been putting up MVP numbers in the middle of a powerful White Sox lineup. […]

Yasmani Grandal Hits Fifth Home Run

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a home run on Saturday against the Royals. The catcher got off to a slow start earlier in the season, but has since been putting together a nice season. Grandal doesn’t catch when Lucas Giolito is on the mound, but shifted to first […]

Lucas Giolito Snags Another Quality Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito put together another quality start on Saturday against the Royals. Giolito went six innings and allowed five hits, three runs, zero walks and nine strikeouts. Giolito has been the White Sox ace this year and will bring a 3.29 ERA into his next start against the Tigers on […]

Nick Madrigal (2B/SS, CWS) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nick Madrigal was a popular draft-day target among fantasy managers, although the slight on him was being an "empty batting average guy". There was no question Madrigal could hit for a good average but he lacked any power in his Minor League career having […]

Alexander Colome Likely Unavailable Saturday

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Alexander Colome is not on track to be used out of relief Saturday against Kansas City. With both Aaron Bummer and Jace Fry currently on the injured list, the White Sox bullpen will be scrambling Saturday, although having Lucas Giolito on the mound may help alleviate any depth issues. Having […]

Jace Fry Lands On IL With Back Spasms

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Jace Fry was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday’s contest against Kansas City due to back spasms. The club added righty Alex McRae to the active roster in place of Fry. Over the past three seasons, Fry has established himself as a vital cog in the White […]
