Omar Narvaez Sitting Against Padres On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez is heading to the bench for Monday's game against Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. Manny Pina will be behind the plate for the game. It's nothing more than a routine day off for Narvaez, who had started the team's previous four games. Narvaez has had a strong year […]

Lineup Takeaways - Week 8 Lineup Trends

Week eight of the MLB season is in the books. There are new injuries, players landing on the COVID injured list, and many more developments that are causing lineups to alter. Let’s try to figure out what is noise and what really matters. Just a reminder, I have added a 'Fantasy Fallout' section to the […]

Keston Hiura Being Recalled By Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers plan to recall first baseman Keston Hiura from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. After Hiura posted a .513 OPS while striking out in 36 percent of his plate appearances over his first 26 games of the season in the majors, the Brewers […]

Christian Yelich Starting To Find It At The Plate

Milwaukee Brewers star outfielder Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored, and a walk in Sunday's win over the Reds. Yelich ended a four-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit game of the season, but the most important thing is the fact that he went deep for […]

Freddy Peralta Continues The Strikeout Barrage In No-Decision

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta didn't factor into the decision after giving up two runs on three hits and four walks while fanning seven across 4 2/3 innings against the Reds. Peralta showed swing-and-miss stuff once again -- he's fanned at least seven in nine straight appearances and owns what would be a career-best […]

Kolten Wong Has Very Productive Day In Win

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, two RBI, and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Reds. Wong has alternated hitless and multi-hit appearances over his last 12 outings, but he has recorded at least three knocks four times during that span. This was one of his […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/24/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Monday, RotoBallers! There are eight games on the MLB schedule today, but one is a day game, and the other starts a little too early to catch the featured slate. Therefore, we've got six games and 12 lineups to peruse as we fill our DFS rosters for the first time this week. It kicks off […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/24/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have eight games today, but the Jays and Rays end the wraparound weekend series in Dunedin for the matinee, so that game is off of the FanDuel main slate. So are those jerks in Miami that thumbed their nose at MLB and start a half hour earlier than everyone else on the East coast. […]

Hey RotoBallers! I felt like Week 8 was my time to get back on track. The number 8 is my go-to/lucky number after all. Well, it didn't quite turn out that way. Wednesday was a great day, but everything that surrounded it, including a bloody Sunday, brought us crashing back down to earth. I'm changing […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

Injuries have been up around the league, and middle infielders haven't been spared, so things are looking a bit thin out there on the ol' waiver wire. You can still find help, though, and that's the goal of this exercise. Most of the players who will be written up in this feature won't be the […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

Arguably, the three best teams in baseball to this point reside in the NL West. That imbalance can be felt in the records of the 'other' teams in that division. The same thing can hold true in fantasy, especially this early in a season. Not everyone's record (in head-to-head leagues) is created equal. People can […]

Catchers to Stream - Week 9 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position. Instead of giving into easy narratives about the lack of talent at the catcher position and how they're the kickers of fantasy baseball, I'm here to create a place where catchers are celebrated for how they can help our teams.

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 5/23/21 (Premium Content)

What's up, RotoBallers! It's crazy that we're already beginning Week 8 of the MLB season. Week 7 was a whirlwind for me and my Bell's Best Bets followers. When the dust settled, we went 26-23, but my propensity to wager on the favorites when I like their spots puts us down about 1.05 units on […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/23/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Today's slate is a little more straightforward than yesterday's fragmented one on DraftKings. We have a 10-game main slate that starts at 1:05 pm Eastern in the traditional matinee baseball format on Sundays. We've got four pitchers in five-figures, but it thins out a little after that. Should we pluck both starters from that upper […]

Luis Urias Hits Solo Home Run In Win

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Luis Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Reds. His third-inning blast off Sonny Gray got the Brewers on the scoreboard. The 23-year-old got the start at second base with Kolten Wong (right arm) sidelined, but the addition of Willy Adames to the Milwaukee […]

Brett Anderson Goes Five Innings In No Decision

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brett Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Reds, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings. He struck out three without walking a batter. The veteran southpaw gave up solo shots to Scott Heineman and Jesse Winker in the third inning but was otherwise […]

Josh Hader Perfect For Save Number 10

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 10th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Reds. The lefty continues his exceptional start to the season. Hader has yet to blow a save and has fanned multiple batters in three straight appearances and […]

Christian Yelich Getting The Day Off On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is getting the day off on Saturday as the team faces Sonny Gray and the Cincinnati Reds. Jackie Bradley Jr. is getting the start in left field and batting seventh in the game. Yelich had played in three of the team's four games since his activation from the injured list […]

Dee Strange-Gordon Released By Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Dee Strange-Gordon has been released by the team, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Strange-Gordon had been signed to a minor league deal earlier in the season, and was slashing .333/.378/.500 with one home run, two steals and 10 runs scored in 10 games at Triple-A. It seems the move was […]

Kolten Wong Out Of The Lineup On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (arm) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Sonny Gray and the Cincinnati Reds. Wong was removed from Friday's game after he was hit on his right arm by a pitch. His X-rays returned negative, but he was reportedly sore after the game. He should be […]

Christian Yelich Records His First RBI Since Opening Day

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 0-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Reds. It was Yelich's first recorded RBI since Opening Day. One of the lone positives in the loss, Yelich was able to play for the third consecutive game without any injury setbacks. Yelich should be able to […]

Luis Urias Will Resort To Super Utility Role For Brewers After Trade

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Urias is expected to fill a utility role going forward after the Brewers acquired Willy Adames in a trade with the Rays on Friday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Urias has been a regular starter at shortstop this season but has once again failed to make an impression […]

Lorenzo Cain Collects Two Hits And An RBI

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Friday's loss against the Reds. Cain bounced back from an 0-for-5 performance Wednesday and has now hit safely in three of his last four games, posting two multi-hit performances in that span. The veteran outfielder is hitting just .221 this season, […]

Adrian Houser Takes The Loss Against Reds

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (3-5) was credited with the loss Friday against the Reds after giving up six runs on five hits and four walks while fanning four across four innings. Houser used 91 pitches (49 strikes) just to get through four innings in a short outing, though he was still tagged with […]
