Tigers Fire Chris Bosio

The Detroit Tigers announced Wednesday that they have terminated the contract of pitching coach Chris Bosio, effective immediately. The official statement released by the club states that Bosio made "insensitive comments" to a team employee, and some sources have speculated that the comments may have been racially charged. Bosio had been an effective coach this […]

Jordan Zimmermann Works Scoreless Outing

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann pitched just five innings on Monday, but he didn't allow any runs and struck out three while scattering four hits. It appeared that Zimmermann, who is in just his second game back off the disabled list with a right shoulder impingement, must have been working on a pitch count, […]

Nicholas Castellanos Doubles, Homers

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos finished Monday's game 2-for-5 with three RBI as the Tigers fell to the A's. The hard-hitting outfielder knocked his 24th double of the year and also clubbed his 10th homer, a three-run blast in the seventh off Lou Trivino. Castellanos has struggled over the last 15 games, batting just […]

Joe Jimenez, Shane Greene Blow Lead For Loss

The Detroit Tigers bullpen fell down on the job Monday as Joe Jimenez and Shane Greene combined to allow four earned runs and blow the game for the Tigers. Jimenez entered in the seventh with a four-run lead and two men on, one of which scored. He wasn't charged with that run, but he then […]

Jeimer Candelario And James McCann Both Sitting Monday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario and catcher James McCann are both sitting against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Utility man Niko Goodrum will bat second and take Candelario’s place at third base while Grayson Greiner will handle catching duties. Dixon Machado will bat ninth and play second base. Daily fantasy players shouldn’t consider any […]

Matthew Boyd Shelled By Cleveland

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd was annihilated by the Cleveland offense on Sunday, allowing six runs in just three innings of work. Things really got out of hand when Artie Lewicki couldn't do any better, allowing six more runs in 4 1/3 innings. Boyd's rough outing pushes his season ERA up to 4.15. After […]

Jordan Zimmermann Tabbed For Monday Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann will take the bump on Monday as the Tigers take on the A's. It will be his second start back from the disabled list, where he spent well over a month with a right shoulder impingement. In his first game back, he was unimpressive but not terrible, allowing three […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 13

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 […]

Niko Goodrum (1B/2B/3B/OF, DET) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Once again, another week, another surprisingly good piece of work for Detroit Tigers utility player Niko Goodrum. A .250/.350/.500 line with his seventh home run of 2018 is pretty solid for 20 plate appearances. The guy is just producing. Goodrum is not […]

Jeimer Candelario (3B, DET) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Despite a recent slump that culminated in a Golden Sombrero on Saturday night, Jeimer Candelario's season line checks in at a wholly respectable .244/.348/.467 with 11 home runs and 68 R+BI in 64 games. That production compares favorably to several more widely-owned or […]

Week 13 Outfield Waiver Wire Targets

Welcome to Week 13, RotoBallers. Over the season, inclusion in the weekly RotoBaller Outfield Waiver Wire Targets roundup almost guarantees a sharp increase in ownership. For example, just a mention on our prestigious column, and Joc Pederson has seen his rate jump by more than 20%. Johnny Field's percentage increased by 100%!! But unfortunately, our powers are […]

The Cut List (Week 13): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 13 of the Cut List. This week I take a look at Luke Weaver, Dallas Kuechel, Gregory Polanco, and Kyle Seager.  All 4 of these guys were drafted in the mid rounds and expected to have productive seasons, and they've all struggled to post even shallow team value as we approach the […]

These are based on standard 5x5 scoring; adjust accordingly for your specific setup. […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open! It is week 13 and the options are quite limited. We've gotten to the part of the season where reality has set in. Replacement corner infielders who once were performing well beyond their skills have come back down to earth. With a basic junkyard of options on the waiver wire, it […]

Francisco Liriano Gives Up Two Earned Runs In Return

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano made his return from injury Saturday. The southpaw gave up two runs over four innings. He was far from terrible, as he only gave up just four hits. Liriano had some rust, however, and he walked three batters while only striking out three. The Tigers were careful with him […]

Jeimer Candelario Strikes Out Four Times Saturday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had a rough day at the plate on Saturday. Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer had him beat all night. Candelario has had a rough June, too. His batting average for the month is an underachieving .179. His production numbers haven't gone down that much, but his strikeouts have […]

John Hicks Out Of Lineup Saturday

Detroit Tigers first baseman John Hicks will take a seat Saturday against the Indians. Hicks has had a pretty average season by typical fantasy standards thus far. However, his catcher eligibility is what gives him sneaky value. Hicks does not hurt your batting average or on-base percentage and has been finding consistent play time in […]

Miguel Gonzalez Will Begin Rehab Assignment On Sunday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment for Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday. Gonzalez has been sidelined since April 24 with right shoulder inflammation. Over 12 1/3 innings, Gonzalez has a 12.41 ERA. He's not much of a fantasy option even when he is healthy.

Hitter Streamers (Week 13) - Head-to-Head Leagues
