Bartolo Colon Searching For History Wednesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Bartolo Colon will attempt to make history Wednesday when he faces off with the Oakland Athletics. Colon is looking to match Juan Marichal for the most wins ever by a pitcher from the Dominican Republic. However, Colon has struggled in his last three attempts, going 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA. From […]

Delino DeShields Makes Stunning Catch Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields made an impressive catch in the second inning Tuesday. According to Statcast, there was just a six percent chance of DeShields making the catch, which involved covering 85 feet in five seconds. DeShields also registered one hit in the game Tuesday, but he is having a tough season. In 2018, […]

Adrian Beltre Crushes Second Home Run Of Season

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hit his second home run of the season on Tuesday. Beltre was making his fourth start -- his third at designated hitter -- since returning from the disabled list. Beltre's bat has yet to fully heat back up since his return, with just three hits in 16 plate appearances. […]

Matt Moore Solid Tuesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Matt Moore had a solid outing Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. He was not great by any means, surrendering three earned runs on eight hits and two walks in six innings. In addition, Moore threw 65 strikes in 98 pitches, but only managed to get two strikeouts. This outing is one […]

Tim Lincecum Released by Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers have activated Tim Lincecum (blister) from the 60-day disabled list and then released him from the organization. The Rangers bullpen has been improving lately and there is no longer room for him in the organization's plans for their long-relief role. Lincecum could latch on with another team, but he's a long shot to […]

Tim Lincecum Will Likely Be Cut By Rangers

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Tim Lincecum (blister) is likely to be cut by the team later this week. The Rangers have reportedly decided against calling up Lincecum when his 30-day period runs out on Wednesday. He could stay in the minor leagues with the Rangers, but the most likely option would be Lincecum becoming a […]

Adrian Beltre The Designated Hitter Again Tuesday

Delino DeShields Remains in Nine Hole Tuesday

Elvis Andrus Throwing To First Base

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus (elbow) is making throws to first base for the first time since hitting the disabled list. We are now just a week away from a possible return date for Andrus, and the step up in workload indicates he may not be far away. Andrus was having a successful time at […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/6/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Major League Baseball decided to do a pretty imbalanced Wednesday split of day game and night games. As such, the Early Only slate is pretty weak, and the Main looks attractive (well, minus the dropoff of tonight as compared to last night - more on that later).

Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Launch Angle (Week 10)

Besides being a fancy analytics term that baseball broadcasters can spit out on a Sunday afternoon, launch angle plays a big part in determining how other advanced metrics play out, such as HR/FB, FB/LD, and Hard%. Launch angle doesn't dictate how good a player is hitting, but is meant to be more descriptive of the […]

Trading Up - Paul Goldschmidt

Since 2013, Paul Goldschmidt has helped fantasy baseball owners win leagues in every format. This season I’ve been seeing posts for a month declaring Goldschmidt as “old-s**t.” It’s a steep fall. At the start of the season, Goldschmidt was a no-doubt first-round pick. Owners could take him number 3, and someone might grumble about Nolan […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 10

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara is breaking out in a big way in 2018. Mazara hit his 14th home run of the season Sunday, taking Angels reliever Noe Ramirez deep in the eighth innings. The left-handed hitter is currently on pace to hit somewhere in the region of 35-40 HRs, having never hit more than […]

Doug Fister Unlucky With Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Doug Fister will consider himself unlucky to have taken a loss on Sunday.

Since returning from the disabled list Beltre has two hits in eight at bats, with one RBI and two strikeouts. On […]

Joey Gallo Out Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo is out of the lineup on Sunday against the Angels. Gallo can't hit lefties so Shin-Soo Choo is playing in left field, Adrian Beltre at DH, and Isiah Kiner-Falafa at third. Gallo is batting just .205 on the season and remains pretty much just a source of power whenever the […]

The Los Angeles Angels have a primarily right-handed lineup and Fister has struggled when facing righties this season. Right-handed hitters have a .333 batting average and a .509 slugging percentage when facing Fister this season, […]

Keone Kela Locks Down 13th Save Saturday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Keone Kela struck out one in a 1-2-3 innings to get his 13th save of the season. Kela finished off a good pitching game all around for the Rangers. The right-handed pitcher has now thrown 21 1/3 innings this season, striking out 24 and walking just seven batters. Of the 10 […]

Texas Rangers outfielder Carlos Tocci was activated from the disabled list on Saturday.
