Adrian Beltre Taking Grounders And Jogging Monday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) is making progress towards a return from the disabled list. Beltre is taking grounders and is including some lateral movement into his workout. He also stated that he is planning to do some jogging later as well, but there is still no date set for his return. Beltre […]

Joey Gallo Sitting, Ryan Rua Starting Monday

Texas Rangers first baseman/outfielder Joey Gallo is receiving a day off Monday. Gallo has gone 4-for-33 with 20 strikeouts against left-handed pitchers in the last month. So far this season, Gallo has a .198 batting average with 15 home runs and 78 strikeouts in 218 plate appearances. Ryan Rua will take Gallo's spot in the […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 9

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 […]

Ronald Guzman (1B, TEX) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman was drafted in 2011 out of the Dominican Republic and slowly brought through the minors to ultimately get called up for a short stint with a couple of the starters getting injured. At first glance, Guzman is […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open! It is week nine and there are still so many good options on the waiver wire. Continue to stay fluid with your lineup and ride the hot hand. Don't get attached. However, make a decision and initiate movement to get that player. Do not let someone else grab them while […]

The Cut List (Week 9): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 9 of the Cut List. Last week’s cut suggestions were some of the best yet if you ask me. I suggested cutting Jay Bruce, Albert Pujols, Rougned Odor, and Rich Hill and they all continued their poor play. Bruce, Pujols, and Odor went a combined 13-for-64 (.203) and Hill was pulled from […]

Joey Gallo Hitless, Fanned Three Times in Win

Joey Gallo, playing out of left field, couldn't muster a hit and was struck out three times in a 8-4 win over the Kansas City Royals. The three punch-outs raised Gallo's season strikeout total to 75, putting him comfortably in the lead in all of baseball. If you're playing Gallo in a league that penalizes […]

We are a quarter of the way through the regular season for Major League Baseball, so our crack staff at RotoBaller has updated our rest-of-season fantasy baseball rankings.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 9

Swinging a deal for a superstar player that can make an impact on your team is easier said than done. It almost always requires a superstar player sent in return. The best way to fix a struggling fantasy team isn't always by adding one player. You may need to mix and match pieces to boost […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire - Catchers

The recent 80-game suspension of Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo for violating the Joint Drug Agreement caused a seismic shift in terms of add/drops at the position. Seriously, I looked at "Transaction Trends" on Yahoo! and enough people had dropped him recently to fill up a basketball arena. OK, maybe to two-thirds capacity. Still, […]

Jurickson Profar (SS/OF, TEX) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Texas Rangers utility player Jurickson Profar was once the top prospect in baseball and, after years of struggles, finally looks to have made his place in the Rangers' lineup. It may have taken an injury to Elvis Andrus, but Profar is now […]

Jurickson Profar Out of Thursday's Lineup

Texas Rangers shortstop/outfielder Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Profar went 3-for-8 with six RBI over his last two games. It's surprising to see him get a day off after it looks like he's finally found his groove. Hanser Alberto will play shortstop against lefty […]

Matt Moore Could Start on Tuesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Matt Moore (knee) threw 70 pitches during Thursday's live batting practice. He landed on the disabled list last week due to right knee soreness. There is a chance that Moore returns to the starting rotation as early as Tuesday. The Rangers are going to wait and see how he responds before […]

Austin Bibens-Dirkx Makes Season Debut on Thursday

Texas Rangers pitcher Austin Bibens-Dirkx will draw the start against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. He has a 3.72 ERA over eight minor league starts this season. The Rangers optioned lefty Brandon Mann to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Bibens-Dirkx. The Royals are struggling this season, but Bibens-Dirkx is not a favorable […]

Adrian Beltre Took Batting Practice on Wednesday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) took batting practice before Wednesday's game with the Yankees. He was able to field grounders on Tuesday, and now is feeling well enough to take batting practice. GM Jon Daniels said Beltre was a "few weeks" away, but there is a chance Beltre returns before the end of […]

Austin Bibens-Dirkx Starting Thursday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Austin Bibens-Dirkx will make his first start of 2018 on Thursday. The right-handed pitcher had a 4.67 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 69 1/3 innings with the Rangers last season. He made just six starts in the majors, which accounted for 34 1/3 innings. However, his numbers were also not great […]

Jurickson Profar Hits Cleanup, Launches His Third Homer of 2018

Don't look now, but former consensus #1 prospect Jurickson Profar is heating up. The Texas Rangers gave their shortstop the cleanup spot against the Yankees, and the 25-year-old responded with his third dinger of 2018. Profar is a long way from achieving the lofty expectations once placed on him, but over the last two weeks […]
