Top 5 Fantasy Baseball Prospects Busts - 2024 MLB Rookie Disappointments

Rookies and prospects are, without a doubt, the most volatile part of fantasy baseball.

Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Updates: Jordan Romano, Max Scherzer, Zac Gallen, Max Muncy and more....

This has been a rough week in the injury department for pitchers. Four fantasy-relevant pitchers were scheduled for Tommy John surgery.

Corey Seager Absent From Rangers Lineup

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday on for the series opener against the visiting San Francisco Giants.

When Is Max Meyer Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook

The Miami Marlins are going nowhere fast. They have the second-worst record in all of baseball.
