Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

As regular readers may already be aware, in addition to this and my other weekly columns, I manage RotoBaller's Waiver Wire List. During the construction of this week's edition, it hit me: We're at the point of the season where the number of quality pitchers on the waiver wire is at one of its lowest […]

The Cut List (Week 8) - Time to Let Go?

May is half over. That's scarcely believable, but it's true. Much more believable but equally true: there are plenty of players that should be axed. April showers can't bring May flowers for everyone, and some players even got that proverb mixed up: they are following up April flowers with damp May production. This analogy is […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

In the blink of an eye we find ourselves well into the latter-half of May, and as always, we are still trying to find answers and long-term truths. While it wasn't necessarily a week of attention-grabbing headlines, you may have noticed that I have continuously remarked about the surprising starts for the season, so let's […]

Travis Shaw to Begin Rehab Assignment on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (wrist) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Wednesday. He reportedly took 75 swings on Sunday and didn't feel any discomfort. It sounds like Shaw is ready to test his wrist in game action. He'll likely see at least three or more rehab games before he's ready to return. […]

Ryan Braun Gets the Day Off

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The veteran slugger will get the day off to rest, but should be back in there soon. Ben Gamel will cover left field and bat seventh versus righty Mike Foltynewicz. Gamel doesn't have much fantasy value, […]

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 […]

Nick Mariano's Waiver Picks - Get 'Em While They're Hot (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We're playing the back nine of May and leaving that "25% complete" sign for the fantasy baseball season in the dust.

Jimmy Nelson Dominates Rehab Start

Milwaukee Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson was superb in his third rehab start Friday night. He went 5.2 shutout innings striking out eight batters while giving up three hits and a walk for his second victory. Nelson stated he didn't feel "fatigued" after throwing 86 pitches in the outing as he'll likely have another start or […]

Rest of Season Catcher Rankings - May Update

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 […]

Mike Moustakas is Out of the Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The Brewers are facing a lefty pitcher, so they decided to play matchups and go with a right-handed batter. Hernan Perez will bat sixth and play third base versus Max Fried. Perez can be avoided […]

Keston Hiura (2B, MIL) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: In most competitive leagues with daily moves, with the possible exception of extremely shallow formats, you may well have already missed your chance to add Keston Hiura. If not, however, he's worthy of strong consideration. The top prospect in the Brewers' system - and one […]

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 […]

Manny Pina Placed On Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed catcher Manny Pina (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a strained right hamstring and recalled catcher Jacob Nottingham from Triple-A San Antonio in a corresponding move. Pina was injured on Wednesday night running to first base. Nottingham was hitting .247 with a .351 on-base percentage, two homers and […]

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.

Mike Moustakas Homers On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 3-for-5 with a home runs, two RBI and two runs in Thursday's win over the Phillies. Moustakas was actually playing third base with the demotion of Travis Shaw and the Brewers bringing up Keston Hiura to play second, so Moustakas looks to be the everyday third baseman at […]

Christian Yelich Smashes Two Homers Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 3-for-5 with two homers, a double, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base in Thursday's win against the Phillies. Yelich has proven that he is a bonafide top pick with his incredible production so far this season and is likely to be in the top three picks in […]

Zach Davies With Another Strong Performance Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies allowed one earned run on four hits and a walk through six innings while striking out five in a win against the Phillies on Thursday. Davies has now posted three quality starts in a row with five strikeouts in each game and is 5-0 with a 1.54 ERA. The […]

Orlando Arcia Picking It Up

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia started the year off slow but was hitting .290 (26-for-124) with three home runs and 10 RBI since the first 20 at-bats of his season entering Wednesday's game. He's mostly hit eighth in the lineup in 2019, however, which keeps his fantasy value somewhat capped. Arcia hit .236 with a […]

Chase Anderson To Start Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson (finger) will start against the Braves on Saturday when he comes off the injured list, according to manager Craig Counsell. He'll be taking the rotation spot of Freddy Peralta after he went four innings on Monday against the Phillies and allowed two runs with no walks and five strikeouts. […]

Lorenzo Cain Will Rest on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (rest) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies. It's a routine day of rest for the 33-year-old, who has been hitting very well over the past week with a .345 batting average. Cain is still a productive fantasy option at the top of the Brewers batting […]

Champ or Chump: Keston Hiura and Jose Ramirez

The Brewers have summoned top prospect Keston Hiura to replace the injured (and struggling) Travis Shaw on their roster, giving fantasy owners another hyped toy to play with. Unfortunately, it appears as though the excitement surrounding the 22-year-old's big league debut far outpaces his realistic output, potentially driving many owners to waste FAAB or waiver […]
