Josh Hader Most Likely Won't Get Save Situations

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader is believed to be much more useful as a multi-inning threat in the middle-relief spot than as a closer, according to manager Craig Counsell. Hader's value coming in the sixth inning with the bases loaded is a lot more important than coming in the ninth for the save. Most […]

Brett Phillips Optioned to Triple-A

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/11/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

I decided about halfway through last season that I had to take on a Wednesday column for next season because there's a lot of day baseball. Day baseball means split slates in DFS. Split slates (when each one is at least three games, preferably a 5-9 game range) are twice the fun. That's not even […]

Ryan Braun Sits Out For Rest On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun will take the day off as the Brewers take on the St. Louis Cardinals. Braun hasn't been too hot to start this year with only a .162 batting average and a mere .571 OPS, and this day off is most likely so he can get his bearings straight. Domingo Santana […]

Jonathan Villar To Rest Monday Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar will get the day off against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Eric Sogard will take his place at second base as a result of this move.
