Eloy Jimenez Sprains Ankle Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez left the game early on Friday with a right ankle sprain.

Jimenez singled in his lone plate appearance in his return […]

Manny Banuelos To Be Fifth Starter

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Manny Banuelos will be the team's fifth starter moving forward. A spot in the rotation opened up when the ineffective veteran Ervin Santana was designated for assignment on Friday.

Yolmer Sanchez Still Sitting The Bench

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yolmer Sanchez remains out of the starting lineup on Friday. It's the second straight game that he's started on the bench. Sanchez is batting just .230 (14-for-61) with no homers and two RBI on the year and was hitting at the bottom of Chicago's order. Jose Rondon is at the […]

Ervin Santana Cut, Eloy Jimenez Back

The Chicago White Sox designated starting pitcher Ervin Santana for assignment on Friday and reinstated outfielder Eloy Jimenez from the bereavement list in a corresponding move. Santana was awful in his three starts for Chicago, going 0-2 with a 9.45 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and just five K's in 13 1/3 innings. He can safely be […]

It’s Vladdy Jr. Day, Monkey Knife Fight friends. The Toronto Blue Jays have called up top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and he is expected to make his debut against the Oakland Athletics.

Deeper AL-Only Waiver Wire Sleepers for Week 4

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

The Top 30 list continues to evolve as prospects get closer to compiling meaningful amounts of at-bats.

It sure does, but Santana is far from the only player […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Watch List

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

The catching position in fantasy baseball has become a dried-up talent pool in recent seasons. The 2019 season has pumped a few gallons of skill and fantasy competence back into the tank as we are entering some better weather here towards the end of April. With early injuries at the position and some underperforming bats […]

James McCann Knocks In Four Runs

Chicago White Sox catcher James McCann went 3-for-5 with a run scored and four RBI on Monday. McCann also hit his second home run in the contest. McCann is hitting .316 on the season, but with Wellington Castillo set as the everyday catcher, McCann can be avoided outside of DFS leagues.

Jose Abreu Drives In Five Runs

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu drove in five runs and hit his fourth home run of the season on Monday versus the Baltimore Orioles. Abreu finished the game 3-for-6 and also scored two runs. Abreu has been off to a slow start, but fantasy owners shouldn’t panic as he has been one of […]

Eloy Jimenez Placed On Bereavement Leave

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez will miss the White Sox upcoming series versus the Baltimore Orioles as he has been placed on bereavement leave after the death of his grandmother on Sunday.
