Dodgers Recall Max Muncy From Triple-A

The Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled Max Muncy from Triple-A to fill in a utility role. While he hasn't appeared in the majors since 2016, Muncy was hitting an impressive .313 with two home runs and four RBI in nine games at the minor league level to begin 2018. With Logan Forsythe on the disabled […]

Brewers Claim Alec Asher Off Waivers

Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alec Asher was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Asher has been bouncing from team to team in his last couple of years, as he was originally with Philadelphia in 2016 before being traded to the Orioles in 2017. The Orioles then waived Asher, whom the Dodgers […]

Chris Owings (2B, SS, OF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Chris Owings has five extra-base hits in 53 plate appearances this season and his ability to play all over the diamond makes him very interesting for fantasy owners. Owings has a .280 batting average this season, slugging […]

Keibert Ruiz Breaks Slump With Multi-Homer Game

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Keibert Ruiz broke out of his slump in a big way on Monday. Playing for the Double-A Tulsa Drillers, Ruiz hit two home runs, breaking his 2-for-22 slump. He's got a terrible .637 OPS right now, but he's the second youngest player in the Texas League (behind Fernando Tatis Jr.) at […]

Hot Prospects to Watch in Week 3: Acuna, Flaherty, Buehler, Calhoun

The weekend has come and gone, and some big name prospects that many thought would be called up are still riding the bus in the minor leagues. Many of these prospects are ready to go and are waiting in Triple-A for that call. It's no longer a question of if these players will be called […]

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Kike Hernandez has been moved up to bat third against San Diego lefty starter Robbie Erlin, who is making his first start this year after having spent the season thus far in the bullpen. Hernandez is 1-for-3 in his career against Erlin and will man second base. Kyle Farmer will […]

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

Corner Store is open! Primary shoppers: Eugenio Suarez owners, Greg Bird owners, Jake Lamb owners, Wil Myers owners, Justin Turner owners, Josh Harrison owners, Anthony Rizzo owners, Nolan Arenado owners, and Josh Donaldson owners. Injuries are one of the biggest cause for concern of most fantasy managers to start the season. However, it is not the […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire - Outfielders (OF)

With half of April in the books, some trends are starting to emerge. We finally have enough data to start to assess if areas of statistical interest are real or mirages. Players with hot two or three game stretches are starting to peter out or at least normalize, but there is still a lot of […]

Alex Verdugo Hitting Everything In Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers top hitting prospect, Alex Verdugo has been on fire lately in Triple-A. The standout outfielder has hit safely in nine of his last ten games and is now hitting .306 on the season. Verdugo has long been a favorite in the Dodgers organization as they have refused to include him in any […]

Logan Forsythe Goes To DL, Breyvic Valera Called Up

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe (shoulder) is going on the 10-day DL due to right shoulder inflammation. Recent acquisition Breyvic Valera will be called up to take his place. Forsythe left last night's game in the sixth inning before taking the field. There's no word on how severe his injury is yet. He's not […]

Kenta Maeda Knocked Out Of Game Early By Arizona

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda did not have his best stuff on Friday, most likely because of his long lay-off between starts. It was a disappointing encore to his first start that saw him strike out ten batters. In 2 2/3 innings against the Diamondbacks on Friday, he gave up five runs (two earned), […]

Matt Kemp Fine After Wall Collision

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp stayed in the game on Friday after going for a home run ball and banging into the fence. Because Kemp is one of the few hot hitters in a lineup that's been largely absent this season, he was moved up to bat third against the Diamondbacks and he went […]

Dylan Bundy Has Been Unleashed, Is Kevin Gausman Next?

It has become a trend among starting pitchers with one dominant pitch to throw it earlier in counts and to throw it more often. This defies conventional baseball wisdom, but several starting pitchers have found or recaptured success by featuring breaking balls more heavily. Rich Hill, fighting for his baseball life, began using his curveball […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago 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 roster […]

Andrew Toles Is Dominating Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles is doing everything he can to get called up from Triple-A. On Wednesday, Toles went 4-for-6 with two runs, five RBI and his fourth double of the young year. He stole his first base as well and is now slashing .391/.440/.565 on the season. While it was surprising that […]

Walker Buehler Cruises In Second Minor League Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers top pitching prospect Walker Buehler continued to show why he's ready for his call-up on Wednesday, pitching five innings of one-run baseball for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers. He gave up four hits, struck out six and walked only one batter. Unfortunately for him, the major league ball club is currently sputtering […]

Yasmani Grandal Hits Second Home Run Of Possible Breakout Season

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal continued his hot hitting on Wednesday night, slugging his second home run of the season. He went 3-for-4 with two RBI. In 32 at-bats, he's slashing .375/.444/.625 and could be in the midst of a breakout. He's always been one of the hardest hitting catchers (65 HRs over the […]

Matt Kemp Continues Hot Hitting

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp went 3-for-5 in Wednesday's embarrassing 16-6 loss to the Athletics. Kemp hit a double and is now slashing .355/.412/.548 on the year. He's one of the few Dodgers that's hitting, though he's only hit one home run and there's usually no one on base in front of him. Still, […]

Alex Wood Is Dominated By Athletics

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Alex Wood continued his troubling start to the 2018 season on Wednesday by getting shellacked by the Athletics. Wood gave up seven earned runs on seven hits in just 3 2/3 innings. He did manage to strike out five and walk none. In his first two starts over 14 innings, Wood […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire - Catchers

It's ugly out there on the catcher landscape. The drop-off of player ownership goes from Jonathan Lucroy at 70%... which is still well above the 50% Yahoo! ownership cutoff that we use for these waiver wire columns... to Austin Barnes at 38%. That is one heck of a drop-off. It's like going into a neighborhood […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Spins Gem Against Athletics

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu had a no-hitter going through five innings and ended his night pitching six innings of one-hit shutout baseball on Tuesday. He also walked one batter. It was a far cry from his disastrous debut on April 2 and the extended rest clearly helped Ryu. Years of injury have obscured […]

Will Smith Ready To Return May 1

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Will Smith (elbow) is on track to return to the big leagues on May 1. Smith has been recovering from Tommy John surgery. He likely won’t be placed into high-leverage situations out of the gate and can be avoided in all leagues.
