Adam Eaton Returns to the Lineup on Monday
Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins.

However, Eaton is back for Monday's contest and will bat […]
Tanner Roark On Personal Leave; Projected To Start Wednesday
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark (personal) went to deal with personal family matters on Sunday, and while he is out of town, he is still projected to start on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Despite him pitching for a 6.00 ERA and only gathering one win in the last month, the Marlins provide a […]
FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/24/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
Baseball season is winding down, but we're still here to help you churn out some cashing lineups. Though lineups and probable pitchers are a nightmare to follow at this stage, I will be targeting the Phillies-Rockies matchup at Coors Field tonight. While Coors isn't playing as the hitter's haven it has in the past, both […]
Trea Turner Continues To Be Must-Start After Another Solid Game
Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner went 2-for-2 with a run, an RBI, three walks, and a stolen base in the 8-6 loss to the New York Mets. Turner is really turning it up as of late for fantasy owners, as he is putting up a .385/ .515/ .615 stat line in his last seven games […]
Erick Fedde Allows Five Runs In Dreadful Start
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde went 3 1/3 innings pitched, giving up five hits, three runs, and four walks while striking out two in the 8-6 loss to the New York Mets. Fedde was deemed a solid start option for fantasy players looking to get a Sunday stream to help them in the playoffs, […]
Victor Robles Puts Up Impressive Stat Line In Loss
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles went 2-for-6 with two runs, three RBI, and a home run in the 8-6 loss to the New York Mets on Sunday. Robles has looked average in his last seven games as this stat line puts him at a .276/ .300/ .586 line with two home runs, five runs, and […]
Week 26 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)
It is likely the playoffs in head-to-head leagues have concluded. Hopefully, you are the champion. The season is not over for those in roto leagues.

Austin Voth To Start Saturday, Tanner Roark To Go Wednesday
Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth will make the start on Saturday against the Mets instead of starter Tanner Roark, according to manager Dave Martinez. Roark has been on paternity leave all week, so they don't want to rush him back. He is likely to make his next start on Wednesday against the Marlins. Voth has […]

Tanner Roark's Next Start Undecided
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark, who has been away from the team the last four days to be with his pregnant wife, still does not know if he will make the start on Saturday against the Mets. It'd surely be a good matchup for those owners still looking to stream this late in the […]
Adam Eaton Out With Knee Issues
Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) has been out of the lineup of late because of an aching left knee. With the Nationals not making the playoffs, there's no reason to push Eaton the rest of the way. Instead, the team will likely want to get a look at outfield prospect Victor Robles, who is […]

Welcome to Week 25 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative.

Joe Ross (SP/RP, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Nationals pitcher Joe Ross is getting a late start to the 2018 season, but may be able to make an impact.

Erick Fedde (SP, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nationals don’t have much to be happy about in September, but perhaps Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde can put some polish on it with a strong final couple of starts in 2018. He stumbled a bit against the Marlins on […]

Adam Eaton is Sitting Out on Monday
Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. This will be the second straight game that Eaton has missed. It's unclear if something is wrong physically with Eaton or if the Nats just want to get a look at younger players. Victor Robles will […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil has turned it on and just will not stop. In the last 30 days, he has 19 runs, 12 RBI, and a .386 batting average. Admittedly, he doesn’t bring a ton of power with only one […]
