Eric Thames Leaves With Injury Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (hamstring) left the game early on Friday with right hamstring tightness. It doesn't sound like the injury is very serious, but with just two games before the All-Star break after Friday, the Brewers have no reason to rush him back. Don't be surprised if he sits out on Saturday […]

Jonathan Villar is Back in the Lineup on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Villar has not played much over the last week, but will be starting at second base and batting sixth against righty Nick Kingham. Villar is not normally a solid DFS player, but he is facing a […]

Jimmy Nelson Likely Out Until September

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is likely going to be sidelined until the month of September, according to manager Craig Counsell. Brewers general manager David Stearns said earlier this month that Nelson likely wouldn't be back until September, but now Counsell has confirmed the news. Any fantasy owners that were stashing Nelson can […]

Brent Suter To Come Off DL This Weekend

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) will come off the disabled list to start one of the games of the doubleheader against the Pirates on Saturday. Suter has been useful in NL-only leagues and as a streamer in the right matchups, but he hasn't pitched since July 2 and […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/13/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

With the Cubs on the road and thus no Friday afternoon matinee, we've got a true 15-game Main slate this evening. The slate may lack truly elite pitching options, but we have some solid ones to work with and a whole handful of offenses worth stacking. Let's start with a look at Vegas, specifically, the […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Jesus Aguilar Homers In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers All-Star first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 1-for-4 Thursday against Jameson Taillon and the Pittsburgh Pirates. His one hit was a homer in the fourth inning. In the past seven games, Aguilar is batting .370 with five homers and 12 RBI. He has a 1.019 OPS with 68 RBI and a National League leading […]

Wade Miley Shaky In Return From Injury

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley pitched five innings, giving up four hits, two runs, and five walks while striking out five in the 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. This was Miley's first start after returning from an oblique strain that has kept him out since the middle of May. Miley managed to keep […]

Freddy Peralta To Rejoin Rotation After Break

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said rookie starting pitcher Freddy Peralta will rejoin the team's rotation after the All-Star break. It makes sense given his 4-1 record, 2.65 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and whopping 12.1 K/9 in his seven starts for Milwaukee, even after giving up three runs in 3 2/3 innings to the lowly Marlins […]

Jonathan Villar Continues to Lose Playing Time

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (rest) is out of the starting lineup once again for Thursday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Villar has played just once over the last four games with no injury reported yet. Brad Miller will bat sixth and play second base against righty Jameson Taillon. It's unclear why the Brewers […]

Travis Shaw Starting Despite Ankle Issue

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (ankle) is in the starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday despite rolling his ankle in Wednesday's contest. Shaw was forced to leave early during Wednesday's loss to the Marlins after he rolled his ankle. He also admitted he's been dealing with a sore wrist as well. Shaw […]

Manny Pina Takes Swings In Cage

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (biceps) took some swings in the cage Thursday and was pleased with how he felt. Pina is hitting just .227 on the season with six home runs and 16 RBI in 194 at-bats, and the Brewers will likely take a cautious approach with his return. He's really only an option […]

Brent Suter Throws Successful Bullpen

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) said he threw a great bullpen session Wednesday and feels ready to pitch. He could return to pitch Saturday against the Pirates. Suter has been a nice surprise for Milwaukee this year but struggled in his last two outings before landing on the disabled list and has a […]

Brewers Option Freddy Peralta

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday after allowing three runs in 3 2/3 innings to the Marlins on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, starter Wade Miley was activated from the 60-day disabled list and is starting against the Pirates on Thursday. The rookie Peralta put up an […]

Travis Shaw Rolls Ankle Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (ankle) rolled his right ankle during an error in the sixth inning on Wednesday night and was removed from the game. "It's not terrible," Shaw said. "We'll see how it does on the flight tonight." It doesn't sound too serious, but Shaw could sit out a game or two […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a seven-game slate tonight, where there are three elite arms on the mound. Two of those elite pitchers, Severino and Kluber, are facing off against each other. The other ace is Scherzer, who is on the road the Mets. Smaller slate, but solid options across the board. In this article, I will be […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire - Catcher

Entering Week 16 of the Fantasy Baseball season, injuries have played a huge factor on various catchers on the waiver wire. Whether it's players recently being activated off the disabled list, or others benefiting from teammates being placed on the DL, the catcher position has been livelier than usual on the waiver wire. If you're […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 15)

I'm glad I led off last week's article with Kyle Tucker because the Astros made me look great. They called him up this past weekend and it looks like it's going to take a small adjustment period for Tucker to get adjusted to MLB pitching. We'll get to that later. The calendar turning to July seems […]

Trading Up: Mid-Tier and Bargain Targets for the Second Half (Offense)

This article is the second in our series on trade targets for the second half of the season. Part 1 focused on players generally ranked in the top 50. This installment focuses on offensive players ranked outside the top 50. Part three will focus on pitchers. After that, we'll focus on players to target for […]

Wade Miley Will Come Off Disabled List Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley will come off the 60-day disabled list Thursday. He has been dealing with an oblique strain, but will make the start Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Miley has only pitched in two games for a total of 6 1/3 innings this season. He has a career 4.36 ERA, and […]

Jesus Aguilar Wins Final Spot on National League All-Star Team

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar has won the vote for the last spot on the National League All-Star team. Aguilar went from not having a guaranteed roster spot in Spring to making his first All-Star game, and deservedly so. Aguilar has been an absolute monster this season with a .302 batting average, 23 home […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/11/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Being a guy that loves pitching a ton, I can't complain that we have a bunch of top arms going today - but damn it's tough to split hairs between some of these stable, high upside arms. Split-slate Wednesday is giving us a lot to work with in the Main slate (12 games) and no […]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. It might have seemed an unlikely week for prospect promotions, but there […]

Brent Suter Feeling Much Better

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) said he felt much better on Tuesday and is hoping to throw a bullpen session Wednesday or Thursday. Manager Craig Counsell said Suter is "still in the conversation" to pitch against the Pirates this weekend. Suter had been a nice surprise for the Brew Crew this year, but […]

Tyler Saladino Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting the day off Monday. Saladino will bat fifth against Marlins' rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez. Saladino is in a favorable part of the batting order and facing a struggling rookie pitcher, but he does not have much upside in fantasy leagues […]

Lorenzo Cain Out of Lineup on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain is sitting on Tuesday for a routine day of rest. He's replaced by Keon Broxton who is batting seventh. Broxton has made a few plays defensively, but he's hitting just .161 with two home runs, four RBI and three stolen bases. He isn't a recommended streamer.
