Yolmer Sanchez Hits A Home Run Tuesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yolmer Sanchez hit the second of back-to-back home runs to start off Tuesday’s contest versus the Indians. Sanchez finished the game 1-for-3 with a walk and is now hitting .271 with four home runs and 28 RBI. Sanchez is worth consideration in AL-only leagues.

Matt Davidson Picks Up A Pair Of Doubles Tuesday

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, one run, two RBI and a walk Tuesday. Davidson had been struggling coming into Tuesday and is a boom-or-bust candidate on a nightly basis. Aside from home runs, Davidson does not provide much value.

Trading Up - Nick Pivetta

When the Phillies called up Nick Pivetta last season, he had made five starts at AAA and put up a 1.41 ERA while averaging a 30% K-rate. Many fantasy owners salivated over the numbers when he arrived. He pitched well enough in his debut (2 Rs, 5 IP, 5 Ks) that many folks were patting […]

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez will not go from Double-A to the big leagues. General manager Rick Hahn said Monday that Jimenez will definitely play in Triple-A.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/11/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Tonight features an eight game main slate, which isn't bad for a Monday night. There's not true ace, but Carlos Carrasco checks in as the highest-priced pitcher on the slate and likely cash game chalk. There are numerous GPP possibilities at the position, highlighted by Madison Bumgarner, Jack Flaherty, and Andrew Heaney. There are also […]

Champ or Chump: Alen Hanson & Max Muncy

Personally, I use a player's track record as my primary means of evaluating minor leaguers. While other owners chase after the Juan Soto's and Ronald Acuna's of the world based on their prospect ratings, I tend to let other owners burn their early draft picks and FAAB on those guys. They could be studs right […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 11

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 […]

Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Barrels

It's time to revisit the most telling of Statcast numbers - Barrels. You may recall that last time we identified Evan Gattis and Andrew Benintendi as potential buy-low candidates because their power was due to arrive while warning you away from short-term power surgers like Pedro Alvarez and Daniel Palka. Let's see how things have […]

Joakim Soria (RP, CHW) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: After allowing runs in four of five appearances during a rough patch in mid-May, it looked like Joakim Soria had lost his position as the preferred option for saves on the South Side.

Yoan Moncada Enduring Cold Stretch

Through 54 games, the same number of appearances he made last season, Moncada has nearly identical numbers in […]

Carlos Rodon Decent In 2018 Debut

Chicago White Sox starter Carlos Rodon allowed four runs (two earned) in five innings in his 2018 debut Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. Rodon wasn't efficient, surrendering six hits and walking two. His biggest mistakes were serving up home runs to outfielders Jackie Bradley Jr. and J.D. Martinez. Rodon struck out seven batters and […]

Yolmer Sanchez (2B, 3B, CHW) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Playing in the depths of the Southside, Yolmer Sanchez has quietly had a well-rounded season, slashing .276/.313/.413 with 24 runs scored and 27 RBI.

Adam Engel is Nursing Hamstring Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel (hamstring) is nursing a right hamstring injury. This is likely why Trayce Thompson has started the last two games in center field. The White Sox are not currently putting Engel on the disabled list. He's considered day-to-day, but if the issue lingers then obviously they will need to put […]

Avisail Garcia Will Go On Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) said he's going on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. Garcia ran the bases on Wednesday and said he felt great and was able to run without any pain. The White Sox are hopeful that Garcia can return by the end of June. He's only worth […]

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 11. One-inning middle relievers are the constant sources for holds and specialists can manage to secure a hold even with one out. However, while specialists can get many […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]
