Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will rest Thursday versus the Twins. Anderson is having a nice season with 11 home runs, 25 RBI and 13 stolen bases to go along with a .242 batting average. Jose Rondon will replace Anderson in the lineup and bat seventh. Rondon can be avoided Thursday.

Week 10 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

It's that magical time of the season where I start to feel old because we've moved into the "double-digit weeks" when writing out the title. You should have a good idea about where your team stands against the competition, though an unheralded stat in roto leagues with maximums is how many innings you have left […]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. This year’s draft was an interesting one. There was a switch-pitching catcher […]

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson swiped his 13th base on Wednesday versus the Minnesota Twins. Anderson also went 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI. Anderson is now hitting .242 with 11 home runs and 25 RBI. He remains one of the more underrated power and speed shortstops in the game.

Avisail Garcia Runs On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) ran the bases on Wednesday. Garcia said he is “feeling great, no pain.” That’s good news for fantasy owners and Garcia will test his hamstring a few more times over the course of the week. Garcia is hoping that he can begin his rehab assignment next week.

Joakim Soria Gets The Save On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox reliever Joakim Soria picked up his fifth save on Tuesday. Nate Jones had a disappointing outing in Game 1 of their doubleheader on Tuesday and that led to manager Rick Renteria going with Soria on Tuesday to record the final four outs in the second game. Jones pitched in the eighth inning […]

Hot Prospects to Watch in Week 10: Bishop, Tucker, Kieboom, Cease

It's a hitter-heavy edition of Hot Prospects to Watch this week, as we take a look at three batters who have been raking over the last week as well as one pitcher who is currently dominating at Class-A Advanced. Of the four players we'll be looking at this week, it's Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker who […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/6/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have plenty of games today, but it is broken into two slates. The early slate is significantly smaller, featuring only five games. The later slate is much larger with 10 games, and that is the slate we are going to focus on here. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily […]

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

Major League Baseball decided to do a pretty imbalanced Wednesday split of day game and night games. As such, the Early Only slate is pretty weak, and the Main looks attractive (well, minus the dropoff of tonight as compared to last night - more on that later). As such, this article will concentrate on the […]

Luis Robert Will Report To Class-A Kannapolis

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Luis Robert will report to Class-A Kannapolis on Tuesday. An injury to his thumb delayed Robert’s start to the 2018 season. Robert is ranked as a top-25 prospect and even though he is a few years away from the big leagues, dynasty owners should take notice.

Carlos Rodon Expected To Return This Weekend

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) is with the White Sox in Minnesota and is expected to return to the team this weekend versus the Red Sox. Rodon should be benched in a tough battle right out of the gate, but he should be owned in all leagues, as he offers high-strikeout potential.

Kevan Smith Promoted By White Sox

Chicago White Sox catcher Kevan Smith has been promoted to the big league club on Tuesday. Smith hit a respectable .283 over 276 at-bats for the White Sox in 2017, and he figures to split time with Omar Narvaez. Smith holds no significant fantasy value.

Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Launch Angle (Week 10)

Besides being a fancy analytics term that baseball broadcasters can spit out on a Sunday afternoon, launch angle plays a big part in determining how other advanced metrics play out, such as HR/FB, FB/LD, and Hard%. Launch angle doesn't dictate how good a player is hitting, but is meant to be more descriptive of the […]

Are You For Real? Surprising SP Starts (Week 10)

Welcome to our surprising starts series. Every week we’ll be going over a few surprising starting pitcher performances around the majors to determine whether these starts were smoke and mirrors or something more. This week we're looking at two pitchers who came back from injury, though the injuries were of differing severity. We're also looking […]

Nick Madrigal Selected Fourth Overall By White Sox

With the fourth overall pick in the 2018 MLB Amateur draft, the Chicago White Sox selected 20-year-old middle infielder Nick Madrigal out of Oregon State University as a junior. Standing at 5-foot-7 and 160 pounds, Madrigal will have to prove that he can be a Jose Altuve-like player at his current height. Madrigal hit .395/.459/.563 […]

Kevan Smith Likely To Be Promoted Tuesday

Chicago White Sox catcher Kevan Smith is likely to be promoted Tuesday, as the club has demoted backup catcher Alfredo Gonzalez to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. Smith could split time with Omar Narvaez and should only be considered in the deepest AL-only or two-catcher leagues.

Matt Davidson Activated From Disabled List On Monday

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson (back) has been activated from the disabled list on Monday. Davidson missed the minimum amount of time with back tightness. Unless you are an owner looking for home runs, Davidson can be avoided in most formats. Infielder Matt Skole has been sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding […]

Carlos Rodon Pitches Well In Fourth Rehab Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) performed well in his fourth rehab start on Sunday. Rodon threw 92 pitches and allowed six hits on two runs while striking out eight over five innings. Rodon’s next scheduled start would be Friday, but manager Rick Renteria would not comment on if Rodon will be pitching […]

Trading Up - Paul Goldschmidt

Since 2013, Paul Goldschmidt has helped fantasy baseball owners win leagues in every format. This season I’ve been seeing posts for a month declaring Goldschmidt as “old-s**t.” It’s a steep fall. At the start of the season, Goldschmidt was a no-doubt first-round pick. Owners could take him number 3, and someone might grumble about Nolan […]

We are a quarter of the way through the regular season for Major League Baseball, so our staff at RotoBaller has updated our rest-of-season fantasy baseball rankings. We are taking a look at catchers in this article. There is a clear divide at this position, which guys who can contribute a lot in the first […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 10

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 […]

Michael Kopech Struggles Saturday

Chicago White Sox top pitching prospect Michael Kopech had a rough outing Saturday for Triple-A Charlotte. In two innings he allowed seven runs on five hits. He also allowed four walks while striking out two hitters. Kopech has struggled of late and his ERA was raised to 4.89 after the rough outing. He remains one […]
