I will offer a couple of worthy streamers for each position (catcher, corner infield, middle infield, outfield) based on the […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 2 (7/27 - 8/2)

Welcome to RotoBaller's first installment of two-start pitcher streamers for 2020! Successful streaming pitchers can literally be a game-changer when it comes to fantasy baseball. When it comes to daily leagues, two-start streams aren't that important, since you can stream every day. But when it comes to weekly leagues, two-start streams become exponentially more important. […]

Magneuris Sierra Does Well In Sunday's Start

Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra got the start in center field on Sunday and did well, going 2-for-3 with a triple, a double, and a walk. He drove in two runs as well and played well defensively. With the other center field options (Jonathan Villar and Jon Berti) struggling to get going on the young […]

Brian Anderson Hits A Three Run Blast On Sunday

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson hit a three-run home run on Sunday, finishing 1-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. Anderson also reached by getting hit by a pitch, which he did not seem to enjoy. Anderson finishes the first series of the season with a .300 batting average and a 1.062 OPS. […]

Corey Dickerson Hits His First Home Run As A Marlin

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson hit his first home run as a Marlin on Sunday, finishing 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. His home run was a solo blast in the sixth inning off of Phillies reliever Nick Pivetta. Dickerson is off to a good start, and he'll take a .308 average and […]

Jesus Aguilar Hits Another Homer On Sunday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar hit his second home run of the season on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI. He also walked twice. Aguilar hit second in the first two games of the season but was moved into the cleanup spot today and responded well. He's showing signs of […]

Miguel Rojas Falls A Double Shy Of The Cycle On Sunday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas had an excellent game on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and four RBI. Rojas smacked a home run, a triple, and a single, falling just a double shy from hitting for the first cycle in Marlins history. He also reached base on a hit by pitch and seemed […]

Yimi Garcia Earns His Second Hold

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Yimi Garcia earned his second hold of the season on Sunday, tossing 1 2/3 innings while allowing a hit and two walks while recording a strikeout. Garcia threw 37 pitches so he likely won't be back on the mound for a couple of days, but manager Don Mattingly has made it […]

Robert Dugger Struggles In Sunday's Spot Start

Miami Marlins pitcher Robert Dugger was forced to start Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after scheduled starter Jose Urena was a late scratch due to a positive COVID-19 test. Dugger allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and a walk in just 3 1/3 innings. To his credit, Dugger did settle down after […]

Corey Dickerson Hits First Home Run On Sunday

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson went yard on Sunday for the first time this season against his former team, the Philadelphia Phillies. He went 2-for-5 in the game, scoring two runs.

Garrett Cooper Tests Positive For COVID-19

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper has tested positive for COVID-19. Cooper was placed on the injured list for "undisclosed" reasons, but Robert Murray, formerly of The Athletic, tweeted the diagnosis. Cooper joins Jose Urena, Harold Ramirez, and Jorge Alfaro as Marlins who have tested positive. They'll need to self-quarantine for at least 14 days […]

Jose Urena Scratched From Sunday's Start

Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Urena (undisclosed) has been scratched from Sunday's start against the Philadelphia Phillies. Robert Dugger will start in his place. The reason for the change, which was announced less than two hours before first pitch, was not revealed. It's a tough spot-start for Dugger against a strong Phillies lineup. Urena went 4-10 […]

Ryne Stanek Struggles On Saturday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Ryne Stanek had a rough outing on Saturday against the Phillies. He tossed an inning, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk. Stanek was amazing as an opener for the Rays in the past, but Marlins manager Don Mattingly does not understand the concept and uses Stanek as a […]

Caleb Smith Extremely Wild In Saturday's Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith couldn't throw too many strikes on Saturday. He lasted just three innings, somehow allowing only one run despite allowing a hit and six walks. Smith threw 70 pitches to get his nine outs, only 36 of those pitches were strikes. He showed his swing-and-miss stuff, but his extreme fly […]

First Impressions - MLB Opening Day 2020 Fantasy Notes

I can't remember being more excited for an Opening Day than this one. Although Thursday, July 23 was technically the first day of the 2020 MLB season, Friday is when 28 of the 32 teams took the field for the first time for regular-season play. Never have I been happier to fire up MLB Extra Innings […]

Prospects To Cut Loose In Dynasty Leagues

The dynasty format requires an owner to consider both the immediate and future implications of draft picks, trades, and waiver wire moves. Viewing roster decisions through two lenses, both present and long-term future makes fantasy baseball much more strategic and, unfortunately, much less forgiving. Any wrong move lives with you for years and makes you […]

Corey Dickerson Gets Two Hits On Opening Day

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson made a good first impression on Opening Day, going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Dickerson hit third in a lineup that could surprise a bit this season. He's a solid fantasy option that should outperform his draft position in most formats. The lefty batter put up an […]

Miguel Rojas Reaches Base Three Times On Opening Day

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas reached base three times on Opening Day. Rojas went 2-for-3, adding a walk, and he scored a run. He hit ninth and will presumably spend most of his time hitting at the bottom of the lineup. Still, with the new universal DH rule, Rojas could score a good number of […]

Jesus Aguilar Goes Yard In His Marlins Debut

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar hit a home run in his Marlins debut on Opening Day. Aguilar ended up 1-for-5, but that one was a two-run blast off of Phillies starter Aaron Nola. Aguilar had a rough season last year, but it was only a year before that when he hit 35 home runs […]

Brandon Kintzler Earns The 50th Save Of His Career

Miami Marlins closer Brandon Kintzler picked up the save in his Marlins debut on Opening Day, allowing just one hit while wrapping up a scoreless ninth inning to save a 5-2 win. Kintzler won't put up huge strikeout numbers, but he should be locked into the ninth inning in Miami, and that will be valuable […]

Sandy Alcantara Shines On Opening Day

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara was excellent in a win against the Philadelphia Phillies on Opening Day. Alcantara threw 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven. Alcantara was in control all evening, making just one mistake which Didi Gregorius knocked into the empty […]

Jorge Alfaro Placed On The Injured List

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro was scratched from the Opening Day lineup and placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. No reason was given. Alfaro dealt with an oblique injury in the first part of spring training, but seemed fully recovered from it, blasting a home run in an exhibition game against the Atlanta […]
