Brendan Rodgers (SS, COL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Drafted third in 2015, Brendan Rodgers was known as an all-around shortstop that could drive the ball to all fields with plenty of power. He hasn't lived up to his cohorts Alex Bregman (1st) and Dansby Swanson (2nd) yet, who have already proven […]

Ryan Braun Heats Up With Two More Hits

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with a run in Friday's loss to the Phillies. Braun seems to be breaking out of his extended slump recently after hitting safely in eight of the last nine games with three multi-hit games, a home run and a steal in that span. Braun will get more days […]

Chase Anderson Struggles Friday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson gave up three runs on six hits through four innings in Friday's loss to the Phillies. Anderson has yet to post a quality start since joining the rotation and doesn't offer a lot of upside at the moment. For now, it's safe to leave Anderson on the waiver wire […]

Jimmy Nelson Activated, Sent To Minors

The Milwaukee Brewers activated starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (elbow) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and then optioned him to Triple-A San Antonio. The 29-year-old had a 4.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 22 strikeouts and nine walks in 19 innings in his four outings (three starts) for San Antonio on his rehab assignment. The Brewers […]

Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun Back From Injury Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielders Christian Yelich (back) and Ryan Braun (knee) are both back in the starting lineup on Friday against Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff after missing time this week. Yelich is in right field and hitting second, while Braun is batting third and playing left field. Yelich is once again in the running for […]

Keston Hiura Deserves Your Attention

Prospect call-ups have been getting all the baseball headlines recently - Austin Riley has been mashing, Brendan Rodgers has Coors Field, and fantasy owners are salivating over the presumed promotion of uber-prospect Yordan Alvarez. Oh, and some guy named Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is getting his first taste of the majors, no big deal. With all […]

Jimmy Nelson Has Rough Rehab Outing Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (elbow) managed only 4 2/3 innings in his Triple-A rehab start on Thursday. He let up four earned runs on five hits striking out six and walking five. The good news is that all of the runs came in his final inning, which included a two-run home run by […]

Travis Shaw Hitless In Rehab Game

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) was 0-for-3 with a strikeout while playing third base for Triple-A San Antonio on Wednesday. Shaw has fallen on dark times this year while slashing .163/.266/.281 with four home runs, eight RBI and 50 strikeouts in his 135 at-bats before his injury. The Brew Crew won't rush him […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 8)

The top prospect exodus continued last week with Keston Hiura, Austin Riley and Brendan Rodgers all receiving the call to The Show. Riley immediately made his presence known to the Braves with a number of strong performances. Touki Toussaint also continued his up-and-down relationship with the Braves. Even with all the promotions this season already, […]

Keston Hiura Homers Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Kiura went 1-for-5 with a homer in Wednesday's win over the Reds. This is Hiura's second major league home run after having 11 in the minors through 37 games. It's still too early to tell what kind of production to expect from Hiura in the majors, but he has a […]

Yasmani Grandal Hits Ninth Homer In Win

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal went 1-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, two runs and two walks in Wednesday's win over the Reds. Grandal has been back to his hitting ways recently with at least one hit in eight of his last ten games including three homers with 10 RBI. Grandal looks to be right […]

Mike Moustakas Collects Three Hits Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 3-for-5 with a home run and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds. Moustakas has been playing a lot of third base recently with the call up of Keston Kiura and should gain eligibility soon. Moustakas is a solid option at second base going forward, especially […]

Zach Davies Roughed Up Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies gave up six runs on six hits and a walk through three innings in Wednesday's win over the Reds. This seems to have been a long time coming for Davies as he has drastically out performed his peripherals so far this season. Heading into the game, Davies ERA was […]

Ryan Braun's Knee Acting Up

Updating a previous report, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (knee) is getting a rest day on Wednesday because his knee has been acting up for the last four to five days, according to manager Craig Counsell. This shouldn't surprise anyone, as Braun often battles nagging ailments throughout the season. He's been very good when on […]

Ryan Braun Out Against Reds

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is taking the day off on Wednesday. Ben Gamel will start in left field and bat sixth against Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo. Gamel has been very solid for the Brew Crew in his 110 at-bats so far this year, slashing .273/.352/.382 with two home runs, 17 runs and 11 […]

Christian Yelich Out Again on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 27-year-old was scratched yesterday with back spasms and wasn't expected to be in the lineup for today's matinee after a quick turnaround. Yelich is considered day-to-day and it should not be too long until the reigning […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 8

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 […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 8 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 20th (unless otherwise noted). It's that time of year when in-season trends become apparent and full-season numbers may not tell the best story. (They may be most accurate, but they may not tell the best story.) Fortunately, the […]

Gio Gonzalez Takes Loss Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez gave up three runs on three hits and three walks over five innings in Tuesday's loss to the Reds. Gonzalez pitched decent enough to win, but the Brewers failed to score a run and thus, he took the loss. Though he has yet to post a quality start, Gonzalez […]

Christian Yelich is Scratched on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) has been scratched from Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Yelich missed a week earlier in the season due to back discomfort. Hopefully this isn't something that lingers with Yelich throughout the season. Ben Gamel will take over in right field and bat seventh versus righty Sonny Gray. Gamel […]

Derek Dietrich (1B/2B/OF, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Life outside Miami sure has been nice so far for the left-handed Derek Dietrich. He’s hitting home runs at a rate unlike any we’ve seen before from him, 11 HR in 96 at-bats, compared with 16 HR in 499 AB last year, his most […]
