Catchers to Stream - Week 14 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position. Instead of giving into easy narratives about the lack of talent at the catcher position and how they're the kickers of fantasy baseball, I'm here to create a place where catchers are celebrated for how they can help our teams. […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 14

Hey look at that! Another no-hitter, and this time it's four Chicago Cubs pitchers who combine to shutdown the Dodgers for the MLB record-tying seventh no-hitter of the season. And this also comes after MLB's crackdown on pitchers using foreign substances. So it seems safe to say that the Year of the Pitcher is still […]

Aaron Judge Hits 17th Homer Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Boston Red Sox. Judge walloped an Eduardo Rodriguez sinker into the left-field seats, the blast traveling 430 feet at an exit velocity of 106 MPH. The slugger is rolling over his last six games, batting .333 with two […]

Gerrit Cole Gives Up Five Earned Runs In Loss To Red Sox

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole was rocked for six runs (five earned) in a 9-2 loss against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

DJ LeMahieu Homers, Has Four-Hit Day

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 4-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Boston Red Sox. LeMahieu rapped out a trio of singles and a solo homer, registering a 102.1 MPH exit velocity on his solo shot. He is riding a nine-game hitting streak and has three home […]

Jordan Montgomery Takes Tough Loss Saturday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery pitched well but was saddled with the loss Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. Montgomery recorded a quality start, going six innings and allowing three runs on eight hits while walking a pair. He struck out five batters and generated 14 whiffs on 95 pitches, mixing his pitches […]

The Yankees will be receiving relief upgrades soon. The 38-year-old O'Day has thrown just nine innings so far in 2021 and has allowed three earned runs while striking out nine and […]

Corey Kluber Unlikely To Return Before September

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) is unlikely to be activated before September, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Hoch reports that general manager Brian Cashman said the team does not expect him to return until August or September, with Hoch adding that September seemed a more likely timeframe for his return. Kluber […]

Brooks Kriske Recalled From Triple-A By The Yankees

New York Yankees reliever Brooks Kriske has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday as part of a corresponding move as Zack Britton and Wandy Peralta were both placed on the injured list. Albert Abreu was also recalled in the same move. The 27-year-old right-hander has an 11.25 ERA and 2.00 WHIP over four innings […]

Albert Abreu Recalled From Triple-A

New York Yankees right-hander Albert Abreu has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as part of a corresponding move after both Zack Britton and Wandy Peralta were placed on the injured list. The 25-year-old reliever has a 2.08 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, and 10 strikeouts over 8 2/3 innings of relief with the Yankees this year. He […]

Wandy Peralta Heading To Injured List

New York Yankees relief pitcher Wandy Peralta (back) is heading to the injured list. Peralta had reportedly been dealing with a back issue lately, perhaps explaining his lackluster 7.11 ERA in June. It doesn't sound like something that will keep the lefty sidelined for the long run, though it's enough of an issue that he'll […]

Zack Britton To Be Placed On 10-Day Injured List

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (hamstring) will be placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Britton tweaked his hamstring while finishing a pitch during Friday's game and had trouble exiting the field, though the Yankees believe he's dealing with cramps rather than a strain. Manager Aaron Boone said that the southpaw's hamstring felt […]

Not all of the injuries are the same for each player and should be treated and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. They should not all be […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 6/26 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Not our best day yesterday. One bad inning by Mike Minor led to four runs being scored and prevented us from bagging the under. The Pirates and Cardinals hit the line, so was a wash. And then Chris Paddack failed to get through three innings and missed out on the prop bet. Not the ideal […]

Urshela reached on a fielder's choice in the second inning, then scored a run on a DJ LeMahieu base hit. He later doubled and reached on an infield single. It's probably […]

Miguel Andujar Has Three-Hit Night

New York Yankees outfielder Miguel Andujar went 3-for-4 with a trio of base hits in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Andujar reached base three times but was unable to score a run as the Yankee offense stranded him. Still, he needed a game like this one, as he had fallen into a […]

DJ LeMahieu Plates A Pair Of Runs

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu drove in two runs in Friday's loss to the Boston Red Sox. LeMahieu stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the second inning and drove in two with a base hit to right field. The veteran infielder hadn't been hitting the ball as much to the […]
