Garrett Cooper Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (hamstring) will not suit up Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins after injuring his left hamstring during the first inning of Tuesday's game.

Not Much Of A Market For Starlin Castro

The Miami Marlins would love to trade second baseman Starlin Castro in order to make room for prospect Isan Diaz at the keystone, but there's not much of a market for Castro at the moment. The 29-year-old Castro is hitting just .250/.277/.356 on the season with eight home runs, 30 runs and 43 RBI and […]

Marlins Trade Zac Gallen To Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired starting pitcher Zac Gallen from the Miami Marlins in exchange for shortstop prospect Jazz Chisholm on Wednesday. Gallen has a 2.72 ERA this season but just 4.46 xFIP. His fantasy value is about where it was before -- worth a flyer in 12-teamers and keeper/dynasty formats -- given the better team, […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

August looms, which means that some owners will inevitably abandon their teams as they turn their attention to football season. This is less than ideal in many ways, but one benefit to those of us who follow through on our season-long commitment is that competition for waiver adds will be less fierce. We're not there […]

Zac Gallen (SP, MIA) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even with a tough start against the Twins on the horizon, Miami Marlins rookie Zac Gallen should see his ownership jump coming off of a dominant start against the White Sox last week.

Zac Gallen Earns His First MLB Win
