Fantasy Baseball Health Check - Power in Patience

“To cut, or not to cut?” – Hamlet, more or less It’s funny. We spend months combing through data, crunching numbers, strategizing, researching…and then the games start and almost immediately, the overreactions begin. An unproven player goes 0-for-20 to start the season. Should’ve known his September was a mirage. A veteran starter coming off a […]

Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 1

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 1 and the start of the baseball season. Bottom line: the more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to […]

Matt Albers Is Most Likely Closer For Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Matt Albers is most likely the next in line for saves for the Brewers after closer Corey Knebel (hamstring) went down with an injury and will be out for at least 10 days on the disabled list. In all three of Albers' appearances this season, he has pitched in the eighth inning as […]

Lorenzo Cain Hitless In Three Straight

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the 8-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. After starting out the season with a .500 batting average in his first four games of the year, Cain has now gone 0-for-11 in his last three games, dropping his batting average down to .310. Cain will […]

Corey Knebel Will Go To DL

Updating a previous report, Milwaukee Brewers closer Corey Knebel will go to the disabled list after experiencing a left hamstring injury in Thursday's bout against the Cubs. He was helped off the field by the athletic trainers and will be out for at least 10 days after an MRI scan is done to see the extent […]

Brent Suter Gets First Loss Of The 2018 Season Against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brent Suter went five innings, giving up eight hits, five runs (four earned), three walks, and struck out five in the 8-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Suter was doomed for the loss, as the Brewers did not put up a single run for the second day in a row. However, […]

Corey Knebel Helped Off By Athletic Trainers

Milwaukee Brewers closing pitcher Corey Knebel delivered a pitch to Tommy La Stella and immediately went down to the ground and grabbed his inner thigh on Thursday. The Brewers athletic trainers went out and helped Knebel off the field, as he couldn't put any pressure on his leg. Keep an eye out on the severity of […]

Jonathan Villar To Rest Thursday Against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar will get the day off on Thursday against Jon Lester and the Cubs. Utility speedster Hernan Perez will take Villar's spot at second base. Despite Villar starting the season on a good note with a .304 batting average, he currently only has one hit in eight at-bats versus left-handed pitchers […]

Christian Yelich Out Of Lineup Thursday Against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (oblique) will remain out of the lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs, as expected. Yelich exited the game Wednesday in the seventh inning and did not return, and Brewers manager Craig Counsell announced that Yelich is dealing with some oblique stiffness. Because of the potential severity of oblique injuries, […]

Christian Yelich Exits Game With Oblique Stiffness

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich exited the game on Wednesday with oblique stiffness, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell. Yelich was replaced by Hernan Perez in the seventh inning most likely after making a sliding catch in foul ground. However, nothing is certain right now. Yelich is pretty much guaranteed to get the day off […]

Jhoulys Chacin Pounded By Errors In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin went 5 2/3 innings, giving up six runs (three earned), seven hits, two walks, and earning five strikeouts in the 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Chacin didn't really get much help from his team, as not only did they not score a single run, but Christian Yelich […]

Eric Sogard Still Without A Hit In 2018

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Eric Sogard went 0-for-3 in the 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. In 11 at-bats this season so far, Sogard has yet to register a hit and to make matters worse, Jonathan Villar just upped his batting average to .306 to start this year, so Sogard is bound to lose some […]

Jonathan Villar Gets Two Hits To Continue Hot April

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 2-for-4 in the 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Villar was easily the best hitter Wednesday as he racked up two of the five hits that the Brewers lineup managed to muster against Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez, who threw 8 1/3 innings in a shutout. These two hits now […]

Wade Miley Is Playing Catch

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley (groin) is currently playing catch with the Double-A affiliate, Biloxi Shuckers. The hope for Miley is that he can get on the mound sometime next week and continue his recovery process. As of right now, he is still on schedule to return in about a month. The Brewers are […]

Jimmy Nelson Making Progress And On Schedule With Shoulder

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) is continuing to progress in his throwing program, which consists of long tossing. The hope for Nelson is that he can do some mound work hopefully by the end of April. This was expected with Nelson, as he is currently not projected to return until sometime around the […]

Stephen Vogt Making Progress With Shoulder Strain

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) has been cleared by doctors to start a throwing program, and he will most likely begin the program later this week. Vogt had a decent hitting year last season with Milwaukee, averaging a .254 batting average and eight home runs in 122 at-bats and may split starts with Manny […]

Boone Logan On Schedule To Do Mound Work Next Week

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Boone Logan (triceps) is on schedule with his four- to six-week return date and is going to do some mound work hopefully by next week after the Brewers road trip. Logan will most likely be a middle reliever behind guys on the depth chart like Josh Hader and Corey Knebel, so […]

Ryan Braun Out On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun will sit out for customary rest as the Brewers face off against the St. Louis Cardinals in the third game of the series. Braun just hit a walk-off home run Tuesday and is now up to three hits in 17 at-bats for a .176 batting average. Resting will be a […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

It’s the beginning of April and you know what that means! It’s fantasy baseball season and it’s time to overreact to everything! Step out of the fantasy football mindset that may still have its hold on you and remember that while each day does matter, this is a marathon and not a sprint. As is […]

Jonathan Villar Improving As Season Progresses

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. After hitting .182 in the series against the San Diego Padres, Villar is now hitting .375 in the two games against the Cardinals. This is hopefully an insight as to what's to come for Villar, as […]

Chase Anderson Subpar Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson went four innings and gave up eight hits, allowed four earned runs, gave up three home runs, earned five strikeouts and was rewarded with a no-decision in the 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Anderson started off the game by giving up two solo home runs to both […]

Ryan Braun Slugs Walk-Off Homer In Ninth

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in the 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. That's one way to break out of a hitting slump. Coming into this game, Braun was 1-for-12 with his only hit being a three-run home run against the Padres, and like his Padres home […]

Domingo Santana Out Of Lineup Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana will sit out on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, as Eric Thames will start at first base and Ryan Braun will go to left field. This comes as a surprise, considering Santana has a higher batting average at .250 than Braun's on-base percentage at .143. Being a utility outfielder […]
