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 […]

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.

We head into Thursday night with a 6 game slate on tap. There are a couple of top-end arms and a few main bats to focus on. We have Coors in play as well which may lower the amount some of the other strong offenses are rostered. It should be another wild slate like we […]

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 […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Late-Season Arms and Bats
Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]

Giancarlo Stanton Absent From Wednesday's Lineup
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 30-year-old returned from the injured list on Tuesday night, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a rusty performance. Stanton will see a fair amount of rest over the next few weeks, as manager Aaron […]

Gleyber Torres Remains Out Of Lineup Wednesday
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (quad) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The same ailment also kept Torres out of Tuesday's game. The injury is not expected to be serious, but the Yankees are playing it safe with their young star. In his absence, Tyler Wade […]

Aaron Judge Back In Lineup On Wednesday
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) is back in the lineup on Wednesday, batting second and playing right field. Judge had been on the Injured List since August 26 while dealing with a calf injury. He's only played in 19 games this year, but he's certainly made his mark when on the field. He's […]
