Denard Span Drives In Three Runs Friday Versus Minnesota

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Denard Span drove in three runs Friday versus Minnesota. Span went 2-for-5 with a walk to drop his on-base percentage to .367. The RBI brought his season total to 14. The total surprisingly leads the Rays after 19 games. He has the lead despite spending his time outside of the heart […]

Alex Colome With A Win Friday Versus Minnesota

Tampa Bay Rays closer Alex Colome earned a win Friday versus Minnesota. He pitched a scoreless 1oth inning and the Rays would win in the bottom of the inning. Colome recorded an MLB-leading 47 saves in 2017, but his overall numbers elsewhere weren't as impressive as his 2016 campaign. His strikeout and walk rates both went […]

Chris Archer With Strong Outing Friday Versus Minnesota

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer went 6 2/3 innings Friday versus Minnesota. He allowed two runs while striking out five. The bullpen struggled, which left him with a no-decision. He is a second fantasy starter at the moment. His next scheduled start will be against Baltimore, which is hopefully a good matchup for […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 4

For those looking for a jump on the Week 4 starting pitcher streaming process, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we breakdown the list of two-start pitchers into two groups, based on Yahoo fantasy baseball ownership levels. In the past, I try to provide you with three streamers who are under 50 percent owned […]

Matt Duffy Hits Soft Toss Friday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (hamstring) hit some soft toss and threw some Friday. He is currently on the 10-day disabled list with a hamstring issue. While he is out, Daniel Robertson will see most of the starts at third base. The main negative of Duffy's season so far is the fact that […]

Brad Miller Activated, Drives In Run Friday Versus Minnesota

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Brad Miller (groin) was activated in time for the game Friday versus Minnesota. He would then go 1-for-4 with a walk and drive in a run while batting in the cleanup spot of the order. The plan before Miller was injured was that C.J. Cron and Miller would split time. It […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 4

Is it time to overreact yet? This is what many fantasy owners are asking themselves and our writers at RotoBaller, but it's not the question you should be asking. It may be the early portion of a long season, but clearly some trends are forming. The question is: how much longer are you going to […]

Rookie Report - Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 3)

The service time benchmark for teams to secure an extra year of team control came and went late last week. Somewhat surprisingly, nothing about the rookie landscape has changed; Ronald Acuna and Nick Senzel are still hanging out in the minor leagues with Kyle Tucker, Gleyber Torres, Michael Kopech, and Austin Hays. This list will […]

Denard Span Continues Run Producing Wednesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Denard Span drove in a run versus Texas on Wednesday. Span went 1-for-4 to drop his on-base percentage to .352. The RBI brought his season total to 11. The total surprisingly leads the Rays after 18 games. He has the lead despite spending his time outside of the heart of the […]

C.J. Cron Continues Modest Hitting Streak Wednesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron was the only Tampa Bay player with multiple hits Wednesday versus Texas. He went 2-for-4 to bring his batting average up to .270. He also drove in a run, a positive step towards defending his place in the middle of the order. Cron has recorded a hit in […]

Alex Colome Earns Fourth Save Wednesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays closer Alex Colome earned his fourth save of the season Wednesday versus Texas. He allowed a run to continue his less than ideal start to the season that has included blown saves and multiple games where he earned the save but still gave up runs. Colome recorded an MLB-leading 47 saves in […]

Brad Miller To Play Second Rehab Game Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Brad Miller (hamstring) will play his second rehab game Wednesday. He said his first game went well. If all goes well, he will rejoin Tampa Bay on Friday. The plan before Miller was injured was C.J. Cron and Miller would split time. It has been noted previously that Miller could […]

Jake Faria Strong Wednesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jake Faria had a strong outing Wednesday versus Philadelphia. He went six innings, allowing only one run with six strikeouts. He holds an ERA of 5.82 but that is overwhelmingly influenced by his disastrous outing versus the Yankees, where he allowed eight runs in only 1 2/3 innings. In his […]

Yangervis Solarte (2B, 3B, SS, TOR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Judging by his ownership, many didn't trust Yangervis Solarte as a late-round draftee. Fair, other sleepers like Aaron Altherr, Ryan McMahon and Carlos Gomez were more interesting and readily available. Doh! Through April 17, Solarte is slashing .280/.393/.520 and has appeared in 14 […]

Wilson Ramos Sitting Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos continues his pattern of sitting every third game for the Rays. With Ramos still only a year removed from recovering from a torn ACL, the Rays seem keen to get him as much rest as possible. Their decision will be made easier by Ramos' early-season struggles at the plate. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/18/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Welcome back to another split-slate Wednesday. Not a whole lot better than twice the number of chances to win in a single day than normal. I won't even knock the early slate and the ugly pitching options - becuase I'd rather have the chance to play an ugly slate and the Main slate than suffer […]

Wilson Ramos With A Homer Tuesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos hit his first home run of the season Tuesday versus Texas. Ramos got off to a terrible start offensively and has been fighting back the last few games. He is now batting .220 (it was .115 six games ago). Ramos spent much of the 2017 season fighting injuries. He […]

Matt Duffy To The DL

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy has been placed on the 10-day disabled list for his hamstring injury. Outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was moved to the 60-day DL and outfielder Brandon Snyder was called up. Duffy might have been able to get back onto the field quicker than the 10 days, but the Rays were […]

Yonny Chirinos With First Struggles Of The Season

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Yonny Chirinos gave up his first runs of the season Tuesday versus Texas. He went 5 2/3 innings, allowing six runs. He had gone 14 1/3 innings in 2018 without allowing a run before this start. Each time out, he has gone a bit longer in terms of outs recorded. […]

Below are the projected starting […]

Wilson Ramos Drives In Two Monday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos continued his recent upswing Monday versus Texas. He went 3-for-5 while driving in two runs (he had one RBI going into the game). He is now batting .217 (it was .115 five games ago). Ramos spent much of the 2017 season fighting injuries. He only managed to play 64 […]

Blake Snell Strong Again Monday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell came up big for the Rays again Monday versus Texas. He went 6 1/3 innings while giving up only one run. He struck out nine batters. Snell now has gone 12 1/3 innings with two runs allowed with 19 strikeouts in his last two outings. Snell just recently […]

Mallex Smith's Fantasy Value Rises With Kevin Kiermaier Out

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Mallex Smith stands to benefit from the long absence of Kevin Kiermaier due to injury. Some may flinch from such opportunistic thinking, but the truth is that Smith will start the vast majority of games (often in center field) while Kiermaier is out due to injury. This eliminates one of the concerns […]

Brad Miller Will Possibly Play Rehab Game Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Brad Miller will test out his groin and if all goes well, he will play a minor league rehab game Tuesday. If all goes well in the game and he feels OK in the days after, he could be activated and be part of the Rays on Friday. The plan […]
