Week 26 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Manny Machado Slumping In September

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop/third baseman Manny Machado's September woes continued in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rockies, as he went 0-for-4.

Brian Dozier is Out Again on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
