Jeff Samardzija Gets Roughed Up In Miami

Rookie left fielder Mike Yastrzemski will bat second for the San Francisco Giants tonight against the Marlins.

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 […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 9
As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]
Brandon Crawford Back In Lineup, Evan Longoria Out
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (eye) is back in the starting lineup and is hitting eighth on Saturday against Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Clarke. Third baseman Evan Longoria is taking the day off, with Pablo Sandoval playing third and hitting cleanup. Crawford missed two games with pink eye this week. You'll want to keep […]

Brandon Crawford Has Pink Eye
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (eye) is dealing with conjunctivitis (pink eye), which is why he's not in the starting lineup on Thursday. He's unlikely to play on Friday, either.

Brandon Crawford Resting Thursday
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Donovan Solano is starting at the 6 and is hitting eighth against Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman. Solano has two hits in his 13 at-bats on the season with one RBI and is a poor DFS selection while hitting at the […]

The New York Mets claimed outfielder Aaron Altherr off waivers from the Giants on Thursday. Altherr has just one hit in 30 at-bats with the Phillies and Giants this year.
