Fantasy baseball waiver wire: Top pickups with Mookie Betts out

Sunday’s news that Los Angeles Dodgers leadoff hitter and 2023 runner-up in the National League MVP race Mookie Betts suffered a fractured left hand after being hit by pitch, an injury that will cost him multiple weeks, is devastating to his fantasy baseball managers. That’s especially true considering the extreme bad luck we’ve been seeing […]

Michael Harris II exits Braves’ win, will be placed on IL

Harris led off the first inning with a single off right-hander Zack Littell. When Ozzie Albies followed with a double down the right field line, Harris advanced to third base but showed discomfort and he pulled up before reaching third base. Braves manager Brian Snitker and assistant athletic trainer Jeff Stevenson visited Harris at third […]

Atlanta GM acknowledges Braves not playing up to standards

“I don’t normally do scrums during the season, because we’ve done well,” he told reporters Wednesday. “If I’m doing them, that means we’re not playing well.” This is, of course, all relative. The Braves have the fourth-best record in the National League. But they entered Wednesday night’s game at Baltimore on a four-game losing streak […]

Fantasy baseball: What’s wrong with Corbin Carroll?

Regardless of what our collective memories tell us, each season has its share of these first-round busts, although many are the direct result of unexpected injuries.

Fantasy baseball pitcher rankings, lineup advice for Thursday’s MLB games

Note: This file has been updated with any overnight pitching changes or weather-related game postponements, along with the addition of the latest MLB game odds as of the indicated time of publication.

Fantasy baseball waiver wire: Top weekly pickups and cuts

With the Toronto Blue Jays having just placed closer Jordan Romano — the No. 7 pure relief pitcher selected on average in ESPN leagues in the preseason — on the IL, an opportunity has opened for one of the best performing right-handed relievers. Yimi Garcia (still 8.2% available), whose 1.57 ERA, 2.23 FIP and 12 […]

Rimas Sports request to keep representing MLB clients denied

The decision was made by arbitrator Michael Gottesman on Friday. On Monday, the Major League Baseball Players’ Association made the procedural step of filing a motion with the Southern District of New York asking that the court uphold his decision.

MLB Power Rankings Week 3: Braves, Dodgers battle for top spot

In what could be a season-long battle, the Braves and Dodgers were once again vying for our top spot in this week’s Power Rankings, with Atlanta just barely edging out Los Angeles. Another team might soon be in that mix, as the Yankees have the most wins in the majors at 13. The Astros — […]

History lesson: These call-ups set the bar for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Funny how that word “history” tends to set an outrageously high bar for a rookie’s expectations. Often, it’s set far too high. As Guerrero begins his quest for a rookie year for the ages — not to mention a predicted Hall of Fame career — we asked: Just what might an all-time-great Guerrero rookie season […]

The four hottest, most available bats in fantasy baseball

The point here isn’t to parrot the obvious about superb May performers, like “Kris Bryant and Nolan Arenado are good,” “Rafael Devers continues to grow,” or “Gleyber Torres loves facing the Orioles.” Let’s go with the more helpful angle: focusing on May mashers on fewer than 50 percent of ESPN fantasy rosters. Were these hot […]
