Jordan Yamamoto Solid Again Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jordan Yamamoto gave up three runs, two earned, in five innings Tuesday vs the Padres. Yamamoto walked two and struck out four while lowering his ERA to a pristine 1.59. The Marlins seem to have more young pitchers than rotation spots but as long as Yamamoto keeps this up he should […]

Pablo Lopez, Jose Urena Moving In Right Direction

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. Starter Jose Urena (back) has started a throwing program in his recovery from a back injury.

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 16

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/16/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Getting on base is the name of the game. It may have been popularized by Moneyball but the idea remains central to generating offense in Major League Baseball.

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 15

And we're back in action after the All-Star Break. We've still got time to take a look at the two-start streaming options for this upcoming week.

The Cut List (Week 16) - Time to Let Go?

Not a ton has changed since last week given the one combined real game from Monday through Thursday. Friday doesn't exactly give us enough new information, either: as if Josh Bell opening the second half 0-for-4 would make anyone panic. That said, there are still decisions to be made. Fewer, given the lack of new […]

Sergio Romo, Starlin Castro, Others Could Be Dealt

Miami Marlins closer Sergio Romo, second baseman Starlin Castro, first baseman Neil Walker and outfielder Curtis Granderson could all be moved by the July 31 trade deadline this month.

Venue matters in any sport, but certainly in baseball, where home-road splits can reveal some fascinating tendencies. It’s not a big deal if a star can put up numbers both at home and on the road or if a backup catcher can’t hit at home or on the road, but there are players who lose […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 15 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent.
