San Francisco Giants top catching prospects Joey Bart and Patrick Bailey have both been getting playing time at first base lately according to manager Gabe Kapler.

The veteran showed that he could hit for average last season and is doing it again this season, posting a ridiculous .465/.478/.674 slash line with 13 RBI. He is just […]

Early MLB Outliers To Pay Attention To

Early in the fantasy baseball season, it’s exceedingly tough to gauge whether someone is solely off to a hot start or if they’re truly breaking out as a legitimate must-start fantasy player. You hate to miss out on a true breakout player, but with only a finite amount of roster spots, you have a limited […]

Is It Too Good To Be True? Buying and Selling Hot Starts

Normally, after only one full week of the fantasy baseball season, we're casually taking stock of our teams, seeing which guys are settling into lineup spots, which teams look like they might be surprising, and generally feeling pretty good about where we're at now. However, there is nothing normal about this season. After one full […]

Week 3 MLB Closers & Bullpen Usage Report

As this weird, altered season progresses, the imbalance in the schedule becomes a bigger and bigger issue. Some teams have already played double-figure games, while others have played just a single series.

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

It is still the early portion of the season, where we still don't know enough about player performances to make a solid judgment, roles are still being figured out, and in some cases, teams are coming back from long layovers.

Top 50 Prospects for Fantasy Baseball Redraft: Week 3 Rankings

We have yet to play two full weeks of the Major League Baseball season but we’ve already witnessed a great many things in 2020 — some good, some not so good. But, on the plus side, this crazy season — and its 30-man rosters — has afforded quite a few opportunities to MLB rookies, especially […]

Tyler Anderson Starting For Giants Thursday

San Francisco Giants reliever Tyler Anderson will get the nod for Thursday's road series finale versus the Rockies.

Anderson was a contender for save opportunities back in […]

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 […]

Gausman pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on five hits (including a solo home run) and one walk with seven strikeouts.
