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

At this point in the season, nearly half over, you should pretty much know what you have on your fantasy team. (Unless you have Jose Ramirez.) Chances are, if you still have a certain frustrating player on your roster -- especially one you drafted -- you've had plenty of chances to remove them but have […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

We're just about at the halfway point of the 2019 regular season. Feels like just yesterday we were touting the rebound potential of Yu Darvish and mocking any poor suckers willing to run it back with Lucas Giolito again, doesn't it? Being right in the thick of things as we are, this is possibly the […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

We look at the matchups and other variables to […]

Tommy La Stella Goes 1-For-4 In Loss

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Tommy La Stella went 1-for-4 in the Angels 4-2 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday. La Stella has cooled off at the plate a touch over the past few weeks but has gone 6-for-17 (.353) over his last four games. La Stella has come out of nowhere this season and […]

Cardinals Salute Albert Pujols After Home Run

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols hit his 13th home run of the season in the Angels 4-2 loss to the Cardinals. Has been an emotional weekend for the future Hall of Famer, returning to St. Louis for the first time since leaving them via free agency in 2011. So when Pujols smoked a […]

Mike Trout Is Absolutely On Fire

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-3 in the team's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday. It was a quiet kind for an otherwise white-hot hitter, who now has 14 hits over his last 27 at-bats (.519) spanning seven games. He has four home runs and 12 runs batted in during that span […]

Justin Upton Hits Third Home Run In Loss

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton popped his third home run of the season but it wasn't enough in the Angels 4-2 loss to the Cardinals. Upton has made an instant impact since being activated from the 60-day injured list, going 6-for-22 (.273) with one double, three home runs and four runs batted in through […]

Minnesota Twins Add Cody Allen On Minor League Deal

After getting released by the Los Angeles Angels earlier this week, reliever Cody Allen found a new home quickly landing with the Minnesota Twins on a minor league contract.

Shohei Ohtani is Sitting Out on Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Shohei Ohtani (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Thrill and Agony of Going All-In

While more than half of the MLB regular season remains to be played, the time has already arrived for many fantasy owners to decide whether they should continue making improvements at the margins or gamble with a major trade. I'm not talking about the one-for-one swaps of solid players, though those can exert quite an […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 12 Waiver Wire

The Reds are tinkering with their bullpen which may lead to another committee with a fireman, while the Red Sox, Twins, Rangers, and several others continued with the strategy. In "real life" baseball, the committee approach with a fireman is oftentimes the best strategy, but hoooo boy is it frustrating for fantasy owners. We're starting summer, […]

Cody Allen Released by Angels

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Cody Allen has been officially released by the organization on Thursday. Allen began the season as the closer for the Angels, but things quickly escalated.

Jonathan Lucroy Gets Thursday Off

Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This will be a routine day off for the veteran catcher. Dustin Garneau will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus lefty Clayton Richard. Garneau is not worth a look in […]

Shohei Ohtani Sitting Against Southpaw

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup against Blue Jays left-handed starting pitcher Clayton Richard on Thursday. Justin Upton is the designated hitter and is batting third, while David Fletcher is hitting leadoff and playing left field.
