2B/SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball Week 11

It was quite the eventful week in fantasy baseball, particularly at the second base position.

Free MLB Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (6/19/22)

Happy Sunday, RotoBallers! I hope your weekend has gone well. I sincerely apologize once again after yesterday.

Nats Fear Stephen Strasburg Has A Familiar Injury

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (ribs) is having a recurrence of thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms following his season debut for the team.

Juan Soto Playing Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (knee) is starting in right field and is batting third against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler on Thursday.

Joan Adon To Start On Friday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joan Adon will make the start during the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

The Nats Aren't Trading Juan Soto, But Should You?

It’s sometimes easy to forget Juan Soto is just 23 years old.

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.
