Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 6
We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]
Jalen Beeks Expected To Pitch Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jalen Beeks is expected to follow the opener Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Beeks has been very good in his 25 2/3 innings, posting a 2.45 […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 6 Waiver Wire
There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get 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 […]

Tyler Glasnow Goes Seven Innings In Sixth Win
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow earned his sixth win Friday night over the Orioles. He threw seven shutout innings, striking out eight, walking none and allowing three hits. This seems like a copy-and-paste post, just against a different team and they shouldn’t be expected to stop. Glasnow has been absolutely filthy through his […]
Kevin Cash Has Big Plans For Nathaniel Lowe
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has only played in five Major League games, but his manager Kevin Cash had good words for him on the “Power Alley” segment on MLB Network Radio. Cash praised Lowe’s attitude and interaction with his new teammates, but more importantly said that Lowe will be a mainstay in the […]

Diego Castillo Picks Up Save For Rays
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Diego Castillo closed out the Rays 3-1 win on Thursday. He now has four saves on the season, two of which have come in the past week. It seemed like Jose Alvarado was going to be the clear-cut favorite for closing duties shortly after the season began, but he has […]

Brandon Lowe Name AL Rookie Of The Month
Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe was named the American League Rookie of the Month and hit a go-ahead home run on Thursday.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Friday.

Fantasy owners should expect Duffy back in the big leagues by the middle of May.
Ji-Man Choi, Kevin Kiermaier Out Against Southpaw
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier are both out of the lineup against Royals left-handed starter Danny Duffy on Thursday. Nathaniel Lowe is at first base and is batting eighth, while Guillermo Heredia is in center field and hitting ninth. Neither player is very attractive for DFS hitting that low […]
Hunter Wood to 10-Day Injured List
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed relief pitcher Hunter Wood (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with right shoulder soreness and recalled pitcher Casey Sadler to replace him. Wood has appeared in four games thus far in 2019. Among the appearances were a three-inning save on April 8 and an opening act for Jalen […]

Hot Prospects To Watch - Mize, Urias, Franco
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s MLB debut came and went last Friday. So who is next? It figures to be Reds third baseman/outfielder Nick Senzel, the team's top prospect and No. 5 overall in baseball. It could happen as soon as this Friday, too, as the 22-year-old is now healthy after a sprained ankle in spring training. […]
