Francisco Lindor Goes Yard on Monday Night

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor hit a lead off home run on Monday, finishing 2-for-2 with a walk, a run scored, and two RBI. Lindor has somewhat quietly raised his slash line to .296/.333/.494. It was a slow start, but it looks like Lindor could be back to his All-Star self.

Shane Bieber Struggles on Monday Night

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber struggled on Monday night, tossing 6 1/3 innings but allowing five runs on seven hits. He struck out six and didn't allow a walk, but he did cough up a whopping four home runs. Bieber is better than this, and he'll likely show it as he takes a 3.81 […]

Tyler Naquin Likely to Be Placed on Injured List

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (calf) is likely going to be placed on the injured list. Naquin hasn't played since last Friday due to a left calf issue. There is a good chance that Naquin lands on the injured list. Jordan Luplow will play right field and bat seventh versus righty Reynaldo Lopez on Monday.

Streaming Pitchers To Fill The Void in 2019

To say that the starting pitcher position has been underwhelming to start the year is an understatement. What was hoped to be a strength for many teams has yet to come to fruition. Part of the reason is that starters haven’t been as effective as desired. That frustration will potentially get rectified once the weather […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 5/13/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As the Major League Baseball season hits mid-May, pitchers have put together enough of a track record that those that are struggling can be targeted in daily fantasy and those that are dominating can be avoided, if need be.

Brad Hand Saves His Eleventh Game on Sunday

In his place, infielder Mike Freeman is starting at the keystone and batting second against righty Daniel Mengden. Through 27 plate appearances, Freeman is batting .250 with three runs batted in.

Fantasy Baseball Op Ed - Game of Thrones Edition

Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube (hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones. I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, […]

Week 7 Starts & Sits - All Starting Pitcher Matchups

Mid-May marks the fantasy baseball season's quarter pole, which can be exciting as data becomes robust, but also frightful for pitching as warmer air leads to long flies.

Trevor Bauer Pitches Well on Saturday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer pitched well on Saturday, tossing seven innings while allowing two runs (zero earned) on two hits and three walks. He struck out 10 and threw 122 pitches (77 strikes). Bauer throws a ton of pitches every time out, but it hasn't seemed to be an issue for him yet. […]

Tyler Naquin Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin has been scratched from the lineup prior to Saturday's contest versus the Athletics. Jordan Luplow will replace him in right field batting sixth for the Tribe. Naquin is experiencing tightness in his left calf which doesn't appear to be serious, and he should be considered day-to-day. The 28-year-old has picked […]

Cody Anderson Optioned To AAA

Cody Anderson's return to the Majors was short-lived as he has been optioned back to Norfolk after another bad start in Oakland Friday night. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as he boasts a 9.35 ERA in five appearances this season. It is yet another setback for Anderson, who missed the last two […]

Sauceda's Slants - Six Hitters to Buy for Today's Environment

Pitching days can be pure euphoria — firing up the games to watch your pitchers (hopefully) mow down the opposing team for several innings. Catching one of your hitters’ at-bats just doesn’t create that same lasting feeling. Or, at least that’s what I used to say. Nowadays, I find myself bracing for dear life whenever […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 7 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]
