Week 3 of the Major League Baseball season is underway and we're already witnessing some impressive rookie performances led by Chicago's surprise contributor Yermin Mercedes and Miami's impressive young arm Trevor Rogers.

Gerrit Cole Strikes Out Eight On Monday

Kyle Higashioka Homers Twice On Monday

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka hit a pair of home runs against the Blue Jays on Monday, his first two of the season.

Bullpen Report: What We Learned in Week 2

Relievers have become more and more important in fantasy baseball in recent years. First, with starting pitchers being limited to fewer innings than ever, it leads to relievers seeing an uptick in usage. All of a sudden, a good reliever could give you similar innings to a fringe starting pitcher, but with better ratios and […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 3

We’re only nine days into the 2021 regular season, but there has already been plenty of roster shuffling and player movement this year. Although fantasy managers shouldn’t make decisions based exclusively on less than two weeks of samples, there is one notable league-wide issue worth exploring before diving into this week: the ball. As you […]

Aroldis Chapman Gets A Win On Sunday

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman picked up a win against the Rays on Sunday, tossing a shutout ninth inning with three strikeouts. In typical Chapman fashion, he eclipsed 100 mph with multiple pitches and generated an impressive six whiffs over just 13 pitches (46% swinging-strike rate). Notably, Chapman's fastball usage has continued its downward […]

Gio Urshela Collects Four Hits On Sunday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela finished a triple shy of the cycle against the Rays on Sunday, going 4-for-5 with his first home run of the season. Urshela's home run was a mammoth 453-foot shot to center field, one of three hard-hit balls from the 29-year-old on Sunday. Sunday's strong performance at the […]

Albert Abreu Pitches Well In Season Debut

New York Yankees relief pitcher Albert Abreu pitched well on Sunday, shutting out the Rays over a clean inning with a pair of strikeouts.

Jordan Montgomery Struggles On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery struggled on Sunday against the Rays, allowing four runs (two home runs) over five innings. The changeup that Montgomery relied on during his first start of the season (34.2% usage rate last start) took a back seat on Sunday, with Montgomery opting to throw his sinker more frequently […]
