Fantasy Baseball Risers and Fallers - Heston Kjerstad, David Hamilton, Rhys Hoskins, and More
There is nothing quite like the ebbs and flows of fantasy baseball. Every at-bat of every game is the final straw based on that moment whereas in reality, players will have hundreds more across the next dozen weeks to neutralize whatever outcome came about. Across the past two months, plenty of recently unknown players have […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto Currently "Pain-Free"
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) is currently "pain-free," according to manager Dave Roberts. However, Yamamoto hasn't started throwing yet, and Roberts didn't know when that would begin. The Dodgers will surely handle him delicately as he deals with a strained rotator cuff after they signed him to a $325 million deal in the […]
Clayton Kershaw To Throw A Bullpen On Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. This time 10 days ago, Kershaw threw a bullpen and reported discomfort in his surgically repaired left shoulder.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he'd consider moving shortstop Mookie Betts (wrist) to second base when he comes off the injured list when he was asked if he would consider leaving Miguel Rojas at shortstop.

MLB Trade Rumors: Fantasy Baseball Impacts for Garrett Crochet, Mason Miller, Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, more
Most veteran fantasy managers can conjure up some sort of memory or feelings about the MLB trade deadline. Many will recall a late-round, value closer who was the talk of the town as a trade piece from a bad team to a contender. Will that closer remain "the guy" if moved to a new team? […]
MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/2/24) - Today's Top Lineups
The small slate yesterday leads to a large one today. Both sites chopped off those games that had the audacity to start 25 minutes earlier than the masses.

Once again, a huge prospect made his MLB debut. James Wood, 21, is the No. 3 prospect in the game per FanGraphs and MLB.com, and his tools are comparable to Elly De La Cruz.

Bo Bichette A Poor Fit For The Dodgers
Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette's defensive shortcomings make him a poor fit for the Los Angles Dodgers in a trade this summer.

Rival evaluators say the 26-year-old Bichette can get careless […]

Chris Taylor To Get More Of A "Runway" To Play Third Base
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he is going to give infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor more of a "runway" to play third base moving forward.
