Trends feel more robust with a month's worth of data in the backpack. So let's dive into another edition of my weekly Starting Pitcher Baller Ranks! We have […]

Rays Trade For Chase Anderson Wednesday

The Tampa Bay Rays have swung a deal with the Cincinnati Reds, acquiring right-hander Chase Anderson, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. It isn't clear yet what the Reds are getting in return. The 35-year-old veteran has been shaky this season, pitching to a 6.38 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 15 walks […]

Breakout Hitters Watch for Fantasy Baseball - Jarren Duran, Edward Olivares, and More

We are back for the fourth iteration of breakout hitters! So far, we have done as predicted -- found some players that have kept up their production all season long and a few that were clearly just flashes in the pan. Names like Nolan Gorman and Miguel Vargas were looking great early on, but haven't […]

Wander Franco Swipes Seventh Bag Of Season Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco had another nice offensive game in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Pirates. The 22-year-old went 1-for-3 with a single, an RBI, a walk, and a stolen base. He has gotten off to a strong start overall, slashing .301/.368/.540 with five home runs, 18 RBI, and seven stolen bases. Fantasy […]

Harold Ramirez Stays Hot, Hits Sixth Homer Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Harold Ramirez had another solid game at the plate in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Pirates. Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a single, a solo home run, two RBI, a walk, a strikeout, and his first stolen base of the season. The 28-year-old has continued what he started last season and is […]

Jason Adam Earns First Save Of Season Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam notched his first save of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Pirates. Adam came in to close things out up by three. He struck the first two hitters out, allowed a single, and then ended the game with a third strikeout. The 31-year-old has now converted […]

Josh Lowe Sitting Again On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's a bad sign that Lowe has been on the bench for the Rays in three of their last six games, all against right-handed opponents. There just isn't enough playing time to go around for the 25-year-old […]

Yandy Diaz Back Against Pirates

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz (shoulder) is back in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, starting at first base and batting leadoff against right-hander Roansy Contreras. The 31-year-old leadoff man missed the team's last two games with soreness in his left shoulder, but it was a minor issue and […]

Avisail Garcia Lands On IL, Marlins Call Up Xavier Edwards

The Miami Marlins placed outfielder Avisail Garcia (back) on the 10-day injured list with back tightness on Tuesday and called up infield prospect Xavier Edwards from the minors in a corresponding move. Perhaps this is good news for Garcia, as he can get some rest after starting 2023 with a putrid .188/.243/.333 slash line with […]

Do These Prospects Matter for Fantasy Baseball? Elijah Green, Jack Leiter, Forrest Whitley, Jose Salas, Erick Peña and more

Taj Bradley - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Taj Bradley, SP, Tampa Bay Rays ANALYSIS: If you have Bradley, I'd be holding unless you play in a shallower league. In three starts with the Rays, Bradley compiled an impressive 3.52 ERA, 2.29 xERA, 0.91 WHIP, 38.3% strikeout rate, and 35% K-BB rate. He was missing bats at a high clip with both his […]

Tampa Bay's move to send down their top pitching prospect, Taj Bradley after three starts left the fantasy community scratching their heads on Tuesday.

Free MLB Player Props - Today's Prop Betting Picks for Hitters and Pitchers (4/30/23)

Another day of rain in the Northeast means we won't get a chance to bet on Spencer Strider again as that game just got postponed again.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Week 6

I really screwed the pooch here last week. My first recommendation was Kyle Bradish and I called him a "priority pickup". Some of you probably picked him up and started him after that, and you were punished by him on Tuesday as he gave up seven earned runs on eight hits and four walks. Your […]

Tyler Glasnow Cleared For Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment within the next week. Glasnow threw a two-inning live bullpen session Saturday and everything looked good. Mid-May is still the return range for Glasnow. He will throw about three innings at Durham in his first rehab start. So, without any […]
