Eric Thames Makes First Rehab Appearance In Left Field

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames (thumb) made his first appearance with Triple-A Colorado Springs in left field but eventually moved to first base. Thames' playing time will be drastically reduced due to the outfield and first base situation in Milwaukee remaining crowded as ever, so he will only hold deep league appeal when he […]

Brandon Woodruff Will Start On Sunday Against Phillies

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff will start on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Woodruff has not been good in the majors so far this year, pitching to a 6.05 ERA in 19 1/3 innings pitched so far this season.

Week 10 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

It's that magical time of the season where I start to feel old because we've moved into the "double-digit weeks" when writing out the title. You should have a good idea about where your team stands against the competition, though an unheralded stat in roto leagues with maximums is how many innings you have left […]

Travis Shaw Hits Home Run As Hitting Woes Continue

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians. While Shaw has easily been a top fantasy third baseman so far, he's had his ups and downs this year. He's hitting .167 with two runs, one home run, one RBI, four walks and […]

Eric Thames Off To Triple-A For Minor League Rehab

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames (thumb) will head off to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday to continue his rehab before returning to the Brewers roster.

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 10

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 […]

Brice Turang Selected 21st Overall by Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers selected shortstop Brice Turang with the 21st pick in the MLB amateur draft.

Turang was thought of to be a potential first overall pick and slid to 21 […]

Trading Up - Paul Goldschmidt

Since 2013, Paul Goldschmidt has helped fantasy baseball owners win leagues in every format. This season I’ve been seeing posts for a month declaring Goldschmidt as “old-s**t.” It’s a steep fall. At the start of the season, Goldschmidt was a no-doubt first-round pick. Owners could take him number 3, and someone might grumble about Nolan […]

Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller Staff League

Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason. Most of the scoring formats are more advanced, there are intense roster requirements and it’s a year-round commitment. The RotoBaller staff's lack of experience with the format was borne out by how poorly many of us drafted, making in-season improvements via the […]

Ji-Man Choi Called Up To DH In Interleague Series

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Ji-Man Choi has been called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs with the main purpose of serving as a first baseman/designated hitter in the interleague series against the Chicago White Sox.
