Sloppy Defense Results In Poor Start From Masahiro Tanaka

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka allowed five runs (three earned) over four innings against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. The New York defense committed three errors behind Tanaka on Wednesday, making the 31-year-old’s start more difficult than it should have been. Tanaka’s performance under the hood was solid with a 14% swinging-strike rate […]

Giancarlo Stanton Returns To The Lineup On Wednesday

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Stanton sat out on Tuesday as Aaron Judge got the start at designated hitter. Stanton is hitting third in the lineup in Wednesday's game, behind Judge and in front of Luke Voit.

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

Just as soon as it began, it is now coming to a close. It's the final week of the regular season, and with that, another fantasy baseball season is in the books. Hopefully, you did well as it is most likely championship week. Every move matters at this point and there are, surprisingly, a few […]

Gio Urshela Collects Four Hits On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela went 4-for-5 with a double, a run, and a pair of RBI against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Urshela now owns an impressive .896 OPS for the season, and he’s done it with a .323 xBA and a .398 xwOBA that both support his strong performance. The New […]

Aaron Hicks Picks Up Two Hits On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks went 2-for-4 with a triple and his third stolen base of the season on Tuesday. Hicks filled up the box score with three RBI and a pair of runs to add on to his production, and Tuesday’s performance brought his OPS up to .795 for the season. Hicks has […]

Gerrit Cole Picks Up Third Straight Win

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole ended his regular season on a high note with a seven-inning, one-run, seven-strikeout performance against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Cole’s victory on Tuesday was his third in as many starts and his ninth consecutive start with at least seven strikeouts. Tuesday was also Cole’s 10th start (12 […]

Yankees Option Michael King To Alternate Site

New York Yankees pitcher Michael King was optioned to the team’s alternate site on Tuesday. King was rocked for five runs over 2.2 innings in a spot start on Monday, and he’s likely done for the season as a result of Tuesday’s roster move. King posted a 7.76 ERA over 26.2 innings this season, and […]

Giancarlo Stanton On Bench Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 30-year-old slugger will continue to rotate in and out of the lineup to keep him fresh for the postseason. In his absence, Brett Gardner will start in left field and bat eighth while Aaron […]

Adam Ottavino Tosses Scoreless Inning

New York Yankees relief pitcher Adam Ottavino threw a scoreless inning with no baserunners allowed and two strikeouts against the Blue Jays on Monday. Two poor outings from earlier this season have pushed Ottavino’s ERA up to 6.06 for the season even with Monday’s strong performance, but his swinging-strike rate is down at 8.5%, in […]

Michael King Struggles On Monday

New York Yankees pitcher Michael King allowed five runs over only 2 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays on Monday. A third inning that saw the Blue Jays string together four hits did King in, leading to reliever Jonathan Loaisiga coming in and allowing two of King’s runners to score. Despite his poor results, King […]

Kyle Higashioka Set To Continue Catching Gerrit Cole

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka appears to be the personal catcher for right-handed pitcher Gerrit Cole for the foreseeable future. Higashioka will be behind the plate Tuesday when Cole faces Toronto, whom Higashioka throttled for three home runs last Wednesday. Even with the playoffs on the horizon, it appears that Gary Sanchez will either […]

Domingo German Out Of Equation Until 2021 Season

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Domingo German was eligible to return off of the restricted list come the start of the 2020 postseason, but manager Aaron Boone confirmed Monday that the club will not have time to ramp him up, with an eye toward his return coming in ‘21. In addition to being suspended for […]

Michael King Rejoins Rotation To Start Monday

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Michael King will make the start Monday versus Toronto, as the club had waited to officially tab him.

Luke Voit Increases Home Run Lead To Three

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit clubbed his 21st home run of the season on Sunday, widening his league-wide lead in home runs to three. Voit has been spectacular this season despite a nagging foot injury, and his performance has been well-supported by a .628 xSLG. Voit’s 27% HR:FB is probably unsustainable given that […]

Deivi Garcia Allows Six Runs On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia struggled on Sunday, allowing six runs over only three innings against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Garcia left a handful of pitches over the heart of the plate, and the Red Sox jumped on him for 10 hard-hit balls as a result. Sunday’s performance brough Garcia’s ERA […]

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.

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.
