Closers and Saves Report - Week 13 Waiver Wire

No, Craig is not short for Craigory, but yes, Craig Kimbrel has finally joined a Major League Baseball team in 2019. The Red Sox bullpen, meanwhile, continues to be a mess. In Atlanta, Luke Jackson is seeing objects in his rear view mirror, and they may be a lot closer than they appear. A few […]

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Ryan Yarbrough threw three shutout innings to earn the win in a marathon 18-inning game in Minnesota.

Kevin Kiermaier Leaves Game With Leg Tightness

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (leg) was removed from the second inning of Thursday's contest with lower leg tightness.

Hopefully it's nothing major for Kiermaier, who is known for taking risks with his […]

Ryne Stanek Opening On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryne Stanek will serve as the opener on Thursday against the Twins. Stanek has proven to be a very solid real-life pitcher for the Rays in the opener role, but he doesn't bring a ton of fantasy appeal because he's usually never in the game long enough to pick up a […]
