Khris Davis A Late Scratch Saturday

The Oakland Athletics made a late change to their lineup Saturday scratching designated hitter Khris Davis. He was initially slated to bat cleanup versus Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd but will instead tend to his lingering hip issue that's forced him from the lineup of late. It appears as a precautionary move for the scuffling A's […]

Matt Olson On The Bench Saturday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson is sitting on Saturday versus Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd as Mark Canha will take his spot in the lineup. It's a good day for a rest after playing almost every day since returning 10 days ago from a broken hand. Olson has found his power strike lately with three […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 8 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 8

So uh...wow. Week 6 absolutely sucked for this column. Like, I'm surprised I still even have a job after that one. Griffin Canning was the winner of the Week 6 column, but that's not saying much. Canning went 1-1, allowing six runs over 10 innings while striking out 13. The other four guys on that […]

Jharel Cotton To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jharel Cotton (elbow) will begin his rehab assignment with High-A Stockton on Friday. He figures to need a handful of starts before Oakland considers him for their rotation sometime in June.
