Isiah Kiner-Falefa Called up to the Majors

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was added to the 25-man roster following Rougned Odor’s move to the disabled list. Kiner-Falefa has logged time at five different positions in 2017 and 2018, including catcher, second base and third base. His flexibility should provide plenty of opportunities for him to be part of the Rangers lineup. In […]

Doug Fister to Hit the DL

Texas Rangers starter Doug Fister will go to the disabled list with a hip strain. Fister's injury doesn't appear to be serious, but hip issues do tend to linger, so bear that in mind. The veteran has been a pleasant surprise on the season for the Rangers, posting a 3.95 ERA with more than eight […]

Rougned Odor to the DL

The Texas Rangers placed second baseman Rougned Odor on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Odor tweaked his leg returning to first base on a fly ball and will take a break to recover. There's no word yet on how long he'll be on the mend, but players without a DL spot will […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/9/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

FanDuel's pricing tightened significantly over the weekend to the point where it's once again difficult to find regulars who are priced under 3K. With Noah Syndergaard, Max Scherzer, and Justin Verlander all on the slate, it'll be important to spot mispriced players in cash games. There are also some pretty terrible pitchers to stack against […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 2

The first week of the season is officially over, so it's time to start trading assets! That actually may not be the best idea since we've yet to get a firm grasp on trends or values, although the start of the season could be the best time to acquire assets cheaply in some cases. Cutting […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/6/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The beginning of the regular season starting in March and that 'Thursday on-Friday off' schedule has made for a weird Friday schedule today. Just nine games are set to take place, with a few mid-afternoon first pitch times. Normally, we'd have a Wrigley game to get us through the afternoon and then a 14 game […]

Joakim Soria (RP) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Who will be the White Sox closer in 2018? This was one of the big unknowns through the offseason, as many speculated that young relievers Nate Jones or Juan Minaya would get a chance. Once Joakim Soria was traded to the Sox in January, […]

Jose Leclerc Optioned to Triple-A

To clear room for the returning Martin Perez, the Texas Rangers optioned reliever Jose Leclerc to Triple-A. The 24-year-old has pitched well in 2018, giving up no runs while striking out a batter per inning over three innings. Leclerc was a dark-horse candidate to close games, but he'll make way for the veteran due to […]

Martin Perez to Make First Start of the Season

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez will return Thursday to start the mid-afternoon game against the Oakland Athletics. The poor state of the Rangers starting rotation ensures that Perez is in no danger of losing his spot, regardless of his performance. The veteran is the dictionary definition of an innings-eater, and an ERA in the […]

Jurickson Profar Draws the Start at Second, Goes Hitless

Texas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar started for second baseman Rougned Odor at the keystone against the Athletics. Hitting in the seven spot, the former top prospect was unable to make the most of the opportunity, leaving three on base while going hitless across three at-bats. Profar has yet to register a hit on the […]
