Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 10

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Week 10

What a full out sprint of a Major-League Baseball regular season. It provided highs, lows, and forced fantasy owners to make tough decisions that rewarded those who played boldly. Deciding which players would man a fantasy team’s rotation was the most important of all. Certain players had to be sold or bought much earlier than usual […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 10

The abbreviated  2020 season has gone by quickly, and this week represents the last week of regular season baseball this year. Like last week's article, my recommendations will be largely short-term focused as a result. Many of these players have been recommended before, and some (like Clint Frazier) were recommended as recently as last week. […]

J.A. Happ Dominates On Saturday

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ shut the Red Sox out over eight innings with nine strikeouts and no walks on Saturday. Happ now has 25 strikeouts over his last 19.1 innings while allowing three runs during that span, but it’s come without a consistent adjustment in his pitch mix or a consistent variation […]

Must-Add Category Streamers for the Final Stretch

Sadly, just 10 days of baseball remain in the MLB regular season and the fantasy season. At least the commissioner was nice enough to let everyone into the postseason, so there'll be plenty more ball games on the tube to watch. Unfortunately, fantasy leagues don't work that way. You're in the last leg of the […]

Gary Sanchez Stays Hot With Third Homer In Four Games

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went 2-for-5 with his 10th home run of the season on Friday. Home runs haven’t been a problem for Sanchez this season, but he left Friday’s game with an ugly .154 batting average and has struggled at the plate all season. Sanchez has been heating up lately though with […]

Giancarlo Stanton Has Four-Hit Game

New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went hitless in his first game back from a lengthy stint on the injured list on Sept. 15, but he bounced back in a big way on Thursday with a four-hit game, including a home run and a double. Stanton was one of six Yankees hitters […]

Masahiro Tanaka Has Longest Start Of The Season

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka held the Blue Jays to three runs over seven innings on Thursday, striking out five with zero walks. Thursday marked the first time all season that Tanaka lasted more than five innings in a start, and his pitch count topped 90 for his third consecutive game after he […]

Aaron Judge Returns To Bench Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge returned to the starting lineup Wednesday, but finds himself not in the starting nine Thursday. Manager Aaron Boone has discussed easing Judge back into the groove after calf ailments robbed him of over a month of the year. His absence allows the Yankees to role out an outfield of […]

Gleyber Torres Rejoins Starting Lineup Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is back among the starting nine for Thursday’s contest versus the Blue Jays and right-hander Julian Merryweather, who will be followed by Chase Anderson.

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 9)

Last week I wrote that the schedule had begun to have an outsized impact on value. At this point, it's not impacting projected value even more than recent performance. There are exceptions to that, but that's the overarching rule this week. Paul Goldschmidt's value has been buoyed by this aspect for much of the season. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/17/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

After back-to-back nights of the Yankees’ offense making a mockery of the main slate, we get to add their offensive gumption to the cauldron of a Coors Field (feat. the Dodgers’ thundering bats) and Shane Bieber-focused slate.  This slate is smaller than usual, which makes the thunder lurking inside of it even more important to […]

Kyle Higashioka Clubs Three Home Runs

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka went 3-for-4 with a trio of home runs against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Wednesday was only the second time in Higashioka’s major league career that he hit multiple home runs (his last was a two-homer game in August of last year), and the three home runs brought him […]

Gerrit Cole Picks Up Second Consecutive Win

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole tossed seven innings of one-run ball with eight strikeouts against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Cole has now allowed only one run over his last 14 innings with 17 strikeouts, and he’s looked every bit as dominant as he did last season lately. Fantasy managers should expect Cole […]

James Paxton Shifts To 45-Day Injured List

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher James Paxton (elbow) was moved to the club’s 45-day injured list prior to Wednesday’s contest against Toronto. Paxton had sustained a setback on the comeback trail, necessitating an additional shutdown. His transfer to the extended IL all but ends his regular season fantasy outlook, as the best-case scenario now likely […]
