Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 25
We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have experienced more injuries, and most teams need more and more replacements. We have a couple of weeks left in the season, and things continue to stay interesting. With injuries continuing to pile up and some players heating up, moves are constantly being made to […]
1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 25
We are entering the final stretch of the 2021 MLB season. Fantasy champions will be crowned in the next few weeks. Not everyone's season was a success though. That goes for fantasy managers, as well as real-life counterparts. Poor Cody Bellinger is still rostered in 81 percent of leagues right now. DJ LeMahieu, a first […]
2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 25
Just three weeks remain in the 2021 season. At this stage of the game, it's a full-out sprint with little room for error.

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 25
There's only a couple more weeks left in the season. So only a few more opportunities left for two-start streamers. As we near the end of the line, we'll recap the past two weeks. Chris Flexen was the winning pick in Week 23, but that's not saying much as he posted a 3.86 ERA and […]
Jonah Heim Comes In Clutch On Saturday
Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is looking like prime Babe Ruth at the plate these days. On Saturday, Heim went 2-for-3 with a go-ahead two-run home run and a double in the 8-6 win over the Oakland Athletics. Heim already has a few clutch hits off the Seattle Mariners this season. He apparently does his […]
Joe Barlow Collects Fifth Save On Saturday
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow was able to notch his fifth save of the season during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers' bats came alive late, which gave Barlow a chance to shut the door in the ninth. He threw a scoreless inning and helped secure the 8-6 win. The 25-year-old is […]
Wes Benjamin Horrendous In Spot Start
Texas Rangers pitcher Wes Benjamin received the spot start on Saturday versus the Oakland Athletics. Lefty Kolby Allard (illness) was scratched before the game, so Benjamin was given a chance. He went 3 1/3 innings, six hits, six earned runs, two walks, and four strikeouts in the 8-6 win. Benjamin gave up three home runs […]

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has been a nice piece for this offense down the stretch. On Friday, Lowe went 1-for-2 with a two-RBI double and two walks in the 10-5 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers didn't have much of a chance after the A's put up six runs in the second […]
Glenn Otto Rocked By Athletics
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto was horrendous during Friday's outing versus the Oakland Athletics.

Texas Rangers outfielder Jason Martin was one of the few sources of offense for this lineup on Tuesday. That isn't a sentence you're likely going to see often, but Martin was clutch here. He went 1-for-4 with a two-run single that helped the Rangers secure the 3-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Martin still has […]
Jordan Lyles Spins Quality Start Versus Arizona
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles surprisingly pitched well during Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Matt Bush To Resume Throwing Soon
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Matt Bush (elbow) is scheduled to begin throwing again soon. The veteran reliever has been sidelined since early April due to a flexor strain in his pitching arm.
