Jon Berti Scratched on Sunday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Jon Berti (oblique) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday. Berti is suffering from a left oblique strain, so it's unclear if he'll land on the injured list. Rosell Herrera will replace him in center field and bat eighth versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Herrera is not a fantasy option, even […]

Jorge Alfaro Could Return on Tuesday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (calf) is hopeful that he can return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. Alfaro left Saturday's game due to a strained left calf. However, it sounds like Alfaro is making solid progress. Chad Wallach is behind the plate and batting seventh against righty Noah Syndergaard on Sunday.

Weighing In On Zac Gallen

Zac Gallen isn't a name that anyone outside of prospect hounds and die-hard NL-only fantasy players will be aware of. I would include Marlins fans in that group but I'm not sure there are much of us around anymore. Gallen has emerged as an under-the-radar name that could jump onto the scene without any fanfare while […]

We wrap up our midseason rankings update for mixed leagues with the catcher position. RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Bill Dubiel and Scott Engel recently updated their rest-of-season ranks and we're here to break it all down. Unfortunately, catcher is still an utter cesspool when it comes to fantasy production, so don't convince yourself […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 8 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 8

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Bill Dubiel and Scott Engel want you to crush the competition and know that rankings can't end on draft day. Third base has been hit-and-miss in the early […]

Miguel Rojas Day-To-Day

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (back) is listed as day-to-day after leaving the game early on Wednesday with back spasms. The Fish were off on Thursday, but there's still a chance Rojas is held out another day on Friday. Check the Marlins lineup before proceeding on Friday. He's hitting a mediocre .242/.299/.288 with no homers, […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 5/17/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

It’s one thing to like an ace on the mound because you tend to know what you’re getting from the best starting pitchers. Friday night, that includes the likes of Max Scherzer, Jacob de Grom and Gerrit Cole on the bump. However, the value play when picking props can be finding the pitchers that don’t […]

Drew Steckenrider Avoids Surgery For Now

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider (elbow) visited with Dr. James Andrews, who confirmed the initial diagnosis of a right flexor strain. Andrews recommended rest for Steckenrider, and there is no timetable for his return. The 28-year-old isn't out of the woods yet and could eventually need to go under the knife, but he'll rehab […]

Neil Walker Hits For Ninth Straight

Miami Marlins second baseman Neil Walker went 1-for-4 on Wednesday in the loss to the Rays, marking his ninth straight game in which he has had at least one hit. While the Marlins continue to have issues offensively, the 33-year-old has been a semi-consistent source of production by leading the team with a .294 average. […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 7)

Another week, another whack of promotions from the Top 30 list. In his eighth pro season, outfielder Harold Ramirez finally earned a shot with the last-place Marlins after hitting .355 in 31 Triple-A games. The Indians have finally turned to Oscar Mercado for help with their beleaguered outfield. With Collin McHugh struggling to a 6.37 ERA […]

Brian Anderson Goes Hitless Against Tampa

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson went 0-for-4 with a walk in the loss to the Rays on Wednesday. It was yet another unproductive outing for the young up-and-comer, going just 8-for-41 for four RBI and a subpar .195 average this month to go along with 41 strikeouts on the year. Despite his inefficiencies, he […]

Curtis Granderson Has A Double In Loss

Miami Marlins outfielder Curtis Granderson went 1-for-4 with a double along with a walk during Wednesday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. After coming in as a pinch hitter in the team's previous two outings which resulted in only two plate appearances, the 38-year-old played a full tilt in this one despite having relatively nothing […]

Starlin Castro Extends Hit Streak To Six Games

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro went 1-for-4 during the loss to the Rays on Tuesday. The nine-year veteran has a total of nine hits spanning over the last six games for a Marlins squad that has been cold offensively all season long. He will look to keep it going on Wednesday against Ryne Stanek […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 7

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Neil Walker Hits For Eighth Straight Game

Miami Marlins first baseman Neil Walker went 2-for-4 with two strikeouts during Tuesday's loss to the Rays. With his latest installment, the 33-year-old has now had a hit in each of his last eight games. He will have a shot to keep the streak alive against Ryne Stanek on Wednesday, with Walker going for a […]

Jon Berti Bats Leadoff Against Rays

Miami Marlins outfielder Jon Berti went 1-for-4 on Tuesday, reaching base on a single in the third while striking out twice in the loss to the Rays. After sporting a .158 average in April, the 29-year-old has picked it up a bit in May, bolstering an average of .296 while supplying eight hits with a […]

Harold Ramirez Gets Another Hit

Miami Marlins outfielder Harold Ramirez went 1-for-3 during Wednesday's loss to the Rays. The prospect started off slow by flying out in the second and grounding out in the fifth before reaching base in the eighth on an infield single. The 24-year-old bolstered a line of .355/.408/.591 with four homers and 12 doubles while with […]
