Miami Marlins infielder Joe Panik hit a home run in his first Marlins at bat in Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Panik went 2-for-4 with the homer and an RBI single. He scored two runs, drove in two, and also drew a walk. It was a great first game for Panik, who got the […]

Starling Marte Breaks His Slump With Four Hits

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte broke his slump in a big way in Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Marte had been in a rough 0-for-20 slump, but went 4-for-6 with a run scored on Wednesday. All four of his hits were singles, but it brought his batting average back up to .302 and his […]

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 14

Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column. Each week, I'll look at five players who are under 15% rostered in Yahoo! leagues and who can be considered as options to add in deep-league formats, such as 15-teamers or AL or NL-only leagues. I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each […]

Three Up, Three Down: Home Run Outliers to Buy or Sell

A huge key to having success at the game of fantasy baseball is being able to spot outliers. The game of baseball, more than most other sports, is largely dictated by randomness, at least over the short term. Even with the pretty large three-month data sample we have, randomness can still rule the day. My […]

When Is The Right Time to Invest In Rookie Pitchers?

As the calendar turns to July, many fantasy managers start looking to the minor leagues to see which call-ups could help us earn a championship. While we know the big-name players who are likely already on a roster, we hunt for the next surprise call-up of a slightly flawed pitcher who takes a big step […]

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 7/1/21 (Premium Content)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! This officially starts Week 14, and MAN was Week 13 exactly what we needed. If my math is correct, that was a 26-13-3 week that resulted in a positive 9.05 units. Within that we had a Wednesday-Saturday stretch where we were up 11.65 units in that 4-day hot streak. Still plenty of […]

Miguel Rojas Back In Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (illness) returns to the lineup and will bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 32-year-old was day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Rojas is hitting .256/.328/.406 on the season but cooled off a bit in June, registering just six hits and one home run in 36 plate appearances. […]

Max Meyer Named To The Futures Game Roster

Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Max Meyer was named to the MLB Futures Game roster on Wednesday. Meyer will be the only Marlins representative at the Futures Game, and is the first player drafted by the Marlins to make the team since Brian Anderson in 2017. Meyer was the third overall pick in the 2020 […]

Marlins Have Talked Contract Extension With Starling Marte

Miami Marlins general manager Kim Ng said that the team has talked to outfielder Starling Marte about a contract extension, but it's unclear how much progress the two sides have made.

Anatomy of a Hot Streak - Kyle Schwarber

It was the morning of June 13th, and Kyle Schwarber had played 53 games and seen 221 plate appearances with his new team, the Washington Nationals.

Jesus Aguilar Scores A Run And Plays Third Base On Tuesday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar got a hit and scored a run on Tuesday, ending up 1-for-4. He played third base in the bottom of the eighth inning and made an outstanding barehanded play on a ground ball to end the inning. With Miguel Rojas getting the day off, Luis Marte played shortstop. He […]

Adam Duvall Hits A Ninth-Inning Home Run On Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall hit his 17th home run of the season in Tuesday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. It was Duvall's only hit of the game, leaving him 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Duvall's bomb came at a good time, as his two-run shot brought the Marlins within one run […]

Anthony Bender Finally Allows A Run

Miami Marlins rookie relief pitcher Anthony Bender allowed the first two runs of his major league career in Tuesday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Bender tossed one inning, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks, striking out two while throwing three wild pitches. Bender was absolutely all over the place in his inning […]

Trevor Rogers Falls An Out Shy Of Another Quality Start

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers fell one out shy of earning a quality start and ended up taking a loss in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rogers threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on just two hits while striking out nine, but issuing four walks and hitting a batter. Rogers threw […]

Brian Anderson Ramps Up Baseball Activities

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (shoulder) participated in soft toss and defensive drills on Tuesday. He's been sidelined since May 24 with a dislocated shoulder.

Miguel Rojas Expected Back In Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup on Wednesday as the team continues its series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Marlins said Rojas is day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness similar to a cold that teammate Sandy Alcantara suffered from last weekend, but he should be fine by game […]

Steven Okert Called Up By Marlins

The Miami Marlins called up left-handed relief pitcher Steven Okert from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's game. Okert last appeared in the big leagues in 2018 for the San Francisco Giants. In total, the 29-year-old has 48 1/3 innings of major league experience with a 4.28 ERA and a 44:15 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He'll pitch in […]

Miguel Rojas Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series-opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rojas is dealing with a finger injury, but he's seemed healthy and this may just be one of manager Don Mattingly's "scheduled" days off. It certainly goes against his, "we need to win all of our games" speech […]
