Week 16 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 […]

Homer Bailey Will Return To Starting Role

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey (knee) will continue his rehab assignment as a starting pitcher and will return to the team's rotation in Cincinnati when he's ready, according to general manager Nick Krall.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sal Romano turned in an OK start against the Indians on Tuesday. Romano pitched 7 1/3 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits (including two home runs) and two walks with one strikeout.

Week 15 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Happy 7-11 day, everyone! Be sure to go get a free slurpee if the store still runs that promotion, but not before sitting down and fixing your team's starting rotation.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Dilson Herrera will start at second base and bat second against the Indians on Tuesday. With the Reds playing in an AL ballpark, Scooter Gennett will DH.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Peraza is out of the lineup on Tuesday for a routine day of rest. He's replaced by Alex Blandino who is batting eighth. Peraza will likely be in the lineup for the Reds next game and Blandino isn't a recommended starting on Tuesday.

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 15

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 […]

Billy Hamilton On Fire In July

Cincinnati Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton remained scorching hot in Monday's 7-5 win against the Indians, going 2-for-4 with two singles and his 22nd stolen base of the season.
