Brad Boxberger Released by Royals

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brad Boxberger has been released by the organization on Monday. He was designated for assignment by the team after going 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA and 27 strikeouts with 17 walks in 29 games. It's likely that Boxberger lands elsewhere, but he isn't a valuable fantasy target at the moment.

Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox - Yesterday's Recap

Welcome to the Monday, July 1st edition of Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox. Discussing baseball is as fun as the game itself. It has a way of bringing people together to share different opinions about the sport we all love. A similar action can be done with fantasy baseball where we not only discuss […]

Ian Kennedy Finishes 11th Save

Kansas City Royals closer Ian Kennedy took it to Toronto on Sunday to close out the 11th save of the season. Kennedy is putting up some ridiculous numbers, rocking a 40/6 K/BB ratio, but there's still hesitation about trusting him. Kennedy burned fantasy owners for years as a starter, always teasing and playing with the […]

Jake Diekman Mows Down Blue Jays

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Jake Diekman handled an inning's worth of Blue Jays with no sweat on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Diekman was called on to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning, and he sat down his share of Toronto players in order, striking out two along the way. Diekman's 12th hold […]

Brad Keller Gifted A Win On Sunday

Kansas City Royals starting pitchers are usually known for being saddled with tough-luck losses, but Brad Keller was gifted a win by the offense on Sunday. Keller pitched poorly against the Blue Jays, allowing six earned runs in five innings, but his offense carried him to victory anyway. Keller only struck out three while walking […]

Hunter Dozier Left Off All-Star Roster

In a cruel twist, Kansas City Royals corner infielder Hunter Dozier not only finished second in the voting to be the starter at third base in the All-Star game, but was thus left off the roster entirely. Dozier has had a breakout season so far, hitting .294 with 13 home runs, 44 RBI, and 30 […]

Jorge Soler Lofts 22nd Home Run

Kansas City Royals slugger Jorge Soler lifted a 3-0 fastball high into right-center field in Toronto on Sunday, and it carried just far enough to sneak over the wall. The solo shot was Soler's 22nd home run of the season, and this game will hopefully work its magic as a slump-buster to get Soler out […]

Nicky Lopez Continues To Improve

Kansas City Royals rookie Nicky Lopez is starting to get the hang of the big leagues. After a slow first month in the majors, Lopez has dramatically improved at the plate. Since June 15, Lopez has hit .305 and safely hit in all but three games. Lopez still makes some youthful mistakes, like getting picked […]

Whit Merrifield Makes First All-Star Team

Kansas City Royals infielder/outfielder Whit Merrifield has officially been named to the All-Star team for the first time in his career. Merrifield earned the honor by hitting .301 with 11 home runs, 11 stolen bases, 59 runs scored, and 48 RBI in the first half of the season. Merrifield has been a staple at the […]

The Cut List (Week 14) - Time to Let Go?

We're halfway there in the baseball season, but hopefully your fantasy team is living on more than a prayer. (By Jove, that's terrible. Apologies.) Unless it's a points league, categories are starting to take more precedence at this point. Every hitter on this week's Cut List comes with a list of categories in which a […]

Billy Hamilton is Out on Sunday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Hamilton will get a routine day off here, but should be back next game. Whit Merrifield will bat leadoff and cover center field versus righty Aaron Sanchez. Merrifield is a strong fantasy option for […]

Martin Maldonado Is On A Roll

Kansas City Royals catcher Martin Maldonado is loving the road right now. In the three games so far of the current road trip, Maldonado has knocked six hits including four doubles and a home run. He only had five doubles for the entire month of June prior to the last three days. Since June 15th, […]

Alex Gordon Continues To Fall Back To Earth

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon got off to a red-hot start this season, and it looked like swing changes he had made over the offseason had cured his woes. Unfortunately, he appears to have either fallen back into bad habits or simply petered out. After posting a .301 batting average in March/April, Gordon hit […]

Danny Duffy Loses In Quality Start

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy put together a good outing against the Blue Jays on Friday, but he ended up saddled with the loss after his offense struggled. Duffy was dominant early in his outing, but two late home runs forced him to leave while trailing 3-2. Toronto would then grow the lead […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/29/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Homer Bailey (SP, KC) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a long road back to legitimacy for Homer Bailey full of disappointing starts and IL stays since the time when he was so good that the Reds thought it wise to commit $105MM towards their former first round pick. He didn't even […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 14

So we're just about halfway through the season, and we can draw a lot of conclusions about how a player's year is going to go. Some players have been lost to injury time, plenty are underperforming, and there are of course new faces rising. No matter the situation, it could be time for a roster […]

Adalberto Mondesi To Start Rehab Assignment Saturday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (groin) will start his rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Saturday and is expected to serve as the designated hitter in the first game. Barring any setbacks, Mondesi could return from the injured list at some point next week. The 23-year-old phenom has lived up to the billing […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 14

How is it already almost the halfway point of the season? We have the All-Star starters finalized, and the All-Star Game itself is a little over two weeks away. But more importantly, this is the 14th time this year we're looking at two-start streaming options. Looking back at Week 12, Cleveland rookie Zach Plesac was […]

Digger Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for 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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/27/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Thursday can be a strange day when it comes to the split of the slate, with some teams finishing series and getting ready to travel, while others are starting new series. This week is no different, with six games on the afternoon portion of the slate and four in the evening. However, despite the numerical […]

Salvador Perez Catching Side Sessions

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) has progressed to the point where he can start catching side sessions as long as he doesn't do any throwing. Perez is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and will not be an option in redraft leagues at all in 2019. At the thinnest fantasy position, Perez should be […]

Alex Gordon Out, Lucas Duda In Wednesday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians. Cheslor Cuthbert moves up to third in the order, where Gordon has typically been since Adalberto Mondesi's injury, while Whit Merrifield makes a rare start in left field in his usual leadoff spot. Lucas Duda makes his first start […]
