Digging Deeper - Waiver Wire Options for Week 26

Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column. Each week, I'll look at five players who are under 15% rostered in Yahoo! leagues and who can be considered as options to add in deep-league formats, such as 15-teamers or AL or NL-only leagues. I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each […]

Andy Ibanez Looks Strong In Return

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez (hamstring) made his first appearance since going down a few weeks ago. He didn't miss a beat and was hot at the plate during Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Ibanez went 3-for-4 with a double in what ended up being a 7-1 loss. It wasn't a good day […]

Dane Dunning Has Short Outing On Tuesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning got the start on Tuesday, but wasn't out there on the mound for too long. He went 2 2/3 innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, one walk, and three strikeouts in the 7-1 loss to the New York Yankees. Left-hander Kolby Allard took over for him and looked […]

Kohei Arihara Clears Waivers, Sent To Triple-A

The Texas Rangers designated starting pitcher Kohei Arihara for assignment on Sunday. He cleared waivers and he has now been outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock. The 29-year-old struggled in his first taste of the MLB this year, going 2-4 with a 6.64 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP over 10 starts. In his most recent start […]

Charlie Culberson Goes Deep In Loss

Texas Rangers infielder Charlie Culberson surprisingly provided the power for this lineup during Monday's contest. He went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the fifth inning of what ended up being a 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees. This was Culberson's fifth home run on the season, but he is not a player […]

A.J. Alexy Walks Six Versus Yankees

Texas Rangers starting pitcher A.J. Alexy struggled to find the strike zone during Monday's game against the New York Yankees. He went 3 1/3 innings, four hits allowed, four earned runs, six walks, and one strikeouts in the 4-3 loss. It's surprising that he only gave up four runs considering he walked that many batters. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/20/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Only seven of the 11 MLB games today find their way to the FanDuel main slate. The Royals-Cleveland matinee is understandably left off, but the other three games that start a half hour before everyone else were unceremoniously lopped off to give us a seven-game slate. In reality, they should have left it at ten. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/20/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Monday, Rotoballers! It's hard to imagine in two weeks, we will know all of the 2021 postseason teams. So, while today doesn't offer us a full menu of games, seven is still plenty to enjoy. Because of a Royals-Indians double-header, there's an afternoon game to watch before the DraftKings featured slate begins. Our seven games […]

Nathaniel Lowe Doubles In Loss

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has been a fine option in the middle of the order this season. Unfortunately, the Rangers don't have many reliable bats so Lowe doesn't get many chances to drive in runs. Despite that, he continues to do his part and hit for a reliable batting average. On Sunday, Lowe […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Steals Two Bases Sunday

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa has quietly put together a respectable campaign in 2021. He has been a fine option for this team near the top of the order all season long. On Sunday, he went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and an RBI in the 7-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The fact […]

Jordan Lyles Unable To Contain White Sox

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles struggled to slow down the Chicago White Sox offense on Sunday. He went 3 2/3 innings, eight hits allowed, five earned runs, three walks, and three strikeouts in the 7-2 loss. It was another frustrating outing to add onto an already below average campaign for Lyles. He'll take a […]

Anthony Santander (OF, BAL) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: On the surface, it's been an underwhelming 2021 season for Santander. The 26-year-old slugger showed a lot of promise last year, smashing 13 doubles and 11 home runs in just 37 games before an oblique strain cut his season short. Fantasy […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 26

Just two weeks remain in the 2021 Major League Baseball season. That puts fantasy baseball managers in only two spots: those still competing for a championship and those waiting for next year. For the latter, keeper leagues obviously add a totally different dimension for what to do with a roster in these final weeks. It […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 26

Honestly the hardest part of writing this column sometimes is trying to come up with an intro before getting into the meat and potatoes of the article. And it's made even harder having to come up with intros for two columns a week. So I guess this is my way of saying I don't really […]

Adolis Garcia Hitless In Blowout Loss

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia has not been the same hitter during the second half of the season. On Friday, he went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in the 8-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The 28-year-old has not looked the same over the last few months at the plate. He is slashing .245/.291/.470 with […]

Leody Taveras Collects A Pair Of Singles

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras has struggled during his time at the MLB level. However, he put together a nice performance during Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and a stolen base during the 8-0 loss. A nice day for Taveras, but he is still slashing […]

Taylor Hearn Gets Rocked By White Sox

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Taylor Hearn didn't have his best stuff during Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He went 3 1/3 innings, eight hits allowed, seven earned runs, three walks, and four strikeouts in the 8-0 loss. There wasn't much positive to take from Hearn's outing. He'll take a now-bloated 4.52 ERA into […]

Kolby Allard Roughed Up In Relief Appearance

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard missed his previous start due to a non-COVID related illness. The organization decided to have him piggyback right-hander Glenn Otto who started Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. Allard didn't fare well in his outing and allowed five earned runs, four walks, and registered four strikeouts in 3 2/3 […]
