Jeffress is an integral part of the Brewers bullpen after throwing 76 2/3 inning last […]

Jimmy Nelson Pitches In Extended Spring Training Game

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) appeared in an extended spring training game on Tuesday. Manager Craig Counsell was positive about the outing and said that Nelson will have one more outing in extended camp before being assigned to Triple-A for a rehab assignment. The 29-year-old missed all of 2018 after having surgery on […]

Orlando Arcia Sits On Tuesday, Hernan Perez To Start

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia will take a seat on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels. In his place, Hernan Perez will draw the start at short and bat ninth against Matt Harvey. Arcia has been a steady producer at the bottom of the Brewers lineup, slugging two home runs, driving in six and scoring […]

Welcome to this year's first iteration of Statcast Hitter Analysis. Each week, I will select a different metric to evaluate unexpected names at the top and bottom of the Statcast Leaderboards.

Are You For Real? Surprising SP Starts from Week 2

Welcome to our Surprising Starts series, where every week we look at lower-owned starting pitchers who have performed unexpectedly well in their last outing(s). Major league batters are striking out at an astounding 23% clip so far this season, which has resulted in plenty of unheralded hurlers racking up massive strikeout totals. We're looking at […]

Orlando Arcia Focused On Going The Other Way

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia had gotten off to a slow start this year, but he entered last Saturday's game with four hits in his last seven at-bats, including two home runs, five RBI and two walks. None of his hits up until then have been pulled, either. The 24-year-old said it's an approach that […]

Jeremy Jeffress Could Return On Next Homestand

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in 1 1/3 innings with Triple-A San Antonio on Friday. The right-hander could make his season debut on the team's next homestand if he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Jeffress is expected to pitch again Monday or Tuesday and will likely make three to four more […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

The second week of the 2019 fantasy baseball season is upon us. If your first week went poorly, it is officially time to cut or trade everyone on your roster. Kidding, naturally. But we've already had a bunch of injuries, which while unfortunate also creates opportunities to play the waiver wire lottery. Snagging the next […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/9/19): MLB DFS Lineups

For Tuesday's slate of Major League Baseball games, I'll focus on the evening contests (first pitch of 7:05 PM EST and later). Be sure to double-check the weather and the lineups before finalizing your roster. Precipitation won't be a huge issue across Major League Baseball on Tuesday, but the winds will be kicking up in […]

Eric Thames Continues To Struggle

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Cubs. After an insanely hot start to last year, Thames cooled off in the second half and is continuing the cooldown into this year. Thames hasn't been starting very much and only has 15 at-bats on the year. Though […]

Josh Hader Amazes For Fifth Save

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader pitched 2 2/3 perfect innings to secure his fifth save of the season in Sunday's win against the Cubs. Hader has still yet to give up a run this season and looks like he is running away with the closing role. We will know more once Jeremy Jeffress returns, but […]

Zach Davies Decent In Win Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies gave up two unearned runs on five hits and two walks in Sunday's win against the Cubs. The good news is that Davies didn't give up any earned runs, the bad news is that he only struck out one batter through 5 2/3 innings. Davies is a decent option […]

Yasmani Grandal Collects Two More Hits Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Cubs. Grandal got off to a slow start to the season but has started to turn things around. After not getting a hit in the opening series against St.Louis, Grandal's average now sits at .308 […]

Ryan Braun Slugs Third Homer Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Cubs. Braun has been playing close to every day for the Brewers so far this season and has been solid. The Brewers are expected to give him more days off than most players, but if Braun […]

Corbin Burnes Roughed Up In Loss Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes gave up seven runs on six hits and three walks in five innings on Saturday against the Cubs. After a promising start to the season, this was disappointing. On the bright side, Burnes still struck out six batters in five innings. Burnes is set to take on the Dodgers […]

Ryan Braun and Jesus Aguilar Not Playing On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun and first baseman Jesus Aguilar will sit in Sunday's series finale with the Chicago Cubs. Ben Gamel will start in Braun's place and bat seventh, while Eric Thames will start at first and bat in the five spot. Gamel has mainly been in reserve duty this year and is […]

The first official week of fantasy baseball is coming to an end and many of you are celebrating your draft hits and lamenting the misses.

H2H Category Streamers - Week 2 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get 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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/6/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday brings us a strange day for DFS. There are really no stand out pitchers on either of the two main slates. Yes there are good pitchers but their matchups mean that there is no must use option. That presents some interesting strategies for GPP, as we could see a lot of the big bats […]

Jeremy Jeffress Gives Up Homer In Rehab Outing

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) allowed two hits (one homer) and two earned runs while walking none and striking out one in 1 1/3 innings with Triple-A San Antonio on Friday night.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jeffress was an All-Star in 2018 and had the best season of his career, going 8-1 with a 1.29 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 89 strikeouts in 76 2/3 innings and 15 saves. It helped that Corey Knebel's struggles allowed Jeffress to tally some saves late […]

Don't Sleep on Tampa Bay's Bats

Even though the Tampa Bay Rays won 90 games in 2018, their surge to start this year is quite a surprise. They have won five of their six games thus far and are in sole possession of first place in a top-heavy AL East. While this is partly due to the Red Sox and Yankees […]

Lorenzo Cain Steals His Second Base Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain hit a pinch-hit double and stole a base during Wednesday's game against the Reds. Cain had the day off but was still able to come in and make an impact for the Brewers. Cain has had at least one hit in all but one game so far this season and […]
