New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 14

Another week gone by, and we're another week closer to the trade deadline. Everything has been quiet on the trade front, but we all know how this goes: one team will jump the line and make an early trade, setting off other teams to make their early trades, and all culminating in a flurry of […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead. That also means my favorite lefty fireballer Shane McClanahan (and also the surging Luis Castillo) are not on the main slate, but we […]

Clay Holmes Tosses Perfect Ninth Inning

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes has been nearly unhittable all season long. That continued during his outing versus the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Holmes pitched a perfect ninth inning and held the one-run lead during Thursday's victory. He has recorded five saves in his last six appearances. Holmes has an unbelievable 0.47 […]

Aaron Judge Dealing With Lower Body Soreness

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) isn't in the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox because he's "been dealing with some kind of lower body soreness thing." The Bergen Record's Pete Caldera is reporting that Boone said that Judge will probably be available as […]

Aaron Judge Getting A Breather On Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is getting the day off on Thursday as the team opens up a four-game road series against the Boston Red Sox.

Florio's MLB Bullpen Report: Braves Pen Changing, Stash Candidates

Matt Krook Strikes Out 10 In Triple-A

New York Yankees minor league pitcher Matt Krook was drafted by the Giants back in 2016 but has bounced around with three organizations since then.
