Brooks Lee Continues To Progress While Zebby Matthews Goes Five Strong
It was hard for Twins fans to find any good news Tuesday night after the Minnesota Twins lost another game to the Kansas City Royals, this time 2-1. Their record now stands at 3-8. To make matters worse, starter Pablo López left his start early in the bottom of the fifth with a hamstring injury. Fortunately, there was some good news back home in Minnesota. Infielder Brooks Lee joined the St. Paul Saints for a rehab assignment, went 1-for-3 at the plate, and played seven innings at second base.

Twins 4, Tigers 3: Torkelson’s defense burns them again
After playing some of the best defense in the league through 15 games, the past week has been another story. Reese Olson wasn’t very sharp and did get numerous excellent plays turned behind him on a day when his command wasn’t good. But while I rarely pin a loss on one player, two meltdowns from Spencer Torkelson defensively were the biggest factors in the outcome as the Twins evened the series at a game apiece.

Top 25 Twins Daily Most-Viewed Articles of 2023: Part 3 (11-15)
In a season like the Minnesota Twins had in 2023, they got contributions from a number of player including some who they likely weren't expecting big things from. Donovan Solano was signed just before spring training and likely contributed much more. When determining their playoff rosters, they had plenty of good choices on the periphery of their roster.
Byron Buxton, Bailey Ober, and Other ALDS Roster Decisions
4 hours ago, PDX Twin said: I say use Ryan in Game #1 because it's a game we're likely to lose anyway against Verlander. Then come back (and win) with our two aces in #2 and #3 and have Ober start #4 at home to close it out. Why not start Varland in game #2 because it's a game we're likely to lose anyway against Framber? Twins are much worse against lefties than righties so we should assume they'll lose to the lefty as well. Save the "two aces" for games 3 and 4.

2023 Fantasy Baseball MLB Trade Deadline Tracker
The Major League Baseball Trade Deadline is always incredibly exciting, as playoff contenders are acquiring pieces to help their second half run, while sellers are looking to acquire as many prospects to build for the future. This trade deadline is no different, as we could see pretty big names on the move, most notably Max Scherzer, Lucas Giolito, Marcus Stroman, Cody Bellinger, and others that rank favorably on many fantasy baseball rankings.
2023 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Player Spotlight: Gabriel Moreno is a Breakout Candidate
The path to playing time for catching prospect Gabriel Moreno in Toronto was going to be tricky, but that pathway cleared when the Blue Jays traded Moreno to Arizona for Daulton Varsho, another top ranked catcher in many fantasy baseball preseason rankings. Moreno finds himself falling somewhere between a fantasy baseball sleeper and a fantasy baseball breakout candidate for the 2023 MLB season, and without burying the lead, all of the talent and tools are there.
Ober, out: Twins put righty on IL from ravaged rotation - TSN.ca
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins placed right-hander Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with a strained right groin on Monday, yet another health setback for their rotation. The move was made retroactive to last Thursday. Ober became the fifth sidelined pitcher for the Twins among the eight who have started three or more games for them this season. Sonny Gray, Chris Paddack and Josh Winder are on the injured list, and Joe Ryan is on the COVID-19 list.

Fantasy Baseball Player Spotlight: Ha-Seong Kim And His Fantasy Baseball Outlook
The 2022 fantasy baseball season experienced a bit of a tremor during spring training with the news that Fernando Tatis Jr. would miss time with a broken wrist. Fantasy baseball rankings had to be adjusted and managers started scouring MLB depth charts for fantasy baseball sleepers and breakouts from within the San Diego Padres organization and across every other team as well. The reality remains that we’re still at least a month away from Tatis returning to action.
MLB Streaks & Trends: Taylor Ward Is On Fire
Every Saturday from now until the end of the Major League Baseball season, we are going to dive into some notable current hit streaks and trends of some of the hottest commodities in fantasy baseball. Sure, some of the names on this list are the game’s best, and for good reasons, but there are other players that are likely available in your fantasy baseball league. For example, what if I told you there’s another outfielder in Los Angeles that is performing like Mike Trout at the moment?
MLB Injury Report April 25: Eloy Jiménez Strains Hamstring
The injuries just keep on coming, and unfortunately for fans on the South side of Chicago, they have found the White Sox again. My injury report from Friday was led by Luis Robert, who appears to have avoided major injury, but you’ll find Chicago leads it off again on Monday and the news is much worse.

2022 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide: Relief Pitchers with Paths to Becoming Closers
As expected, there have been a flurry of trades and free-agent signings in the first several days since the players and owners signed a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Baseball general managers will probably keep on wheeling and dealing right up until Opening Day, too. Between unexpected injuries and the last-minute transactions that’ll likely take place over the next couple of weeks, you’re going to want to schedule your fantasy baseball league’s draft as late in the preseason as possible.
Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Report November 7th
Welcome to the Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Report! The waiver wire is key to winning. It helps you improve on the team you drafted, and to help patch holes when players go down due to injury. It’s something most managers will monitor daily. Let’s take a look at who we should be adding this week. Brock Nelson - New York Islanders - Center Brock Nelson has seven goals and 13 shots on goal in the last two games.
Fantasy Baseball Week That Was & Will Be: Blue Jays Keep Mashing
Teoscar raking despite being overshadowed by big name teammates highlights the Week That Was and Will Be. Player Blurbs Teoscar Hernandez: Teoscar went 2-5 with a run and an RBI Sunday raising his average to a even .300 and his OBP to almost .350. Not too shabby. It appears that all the doubters who questioned the Silver Slugger award winner’s ability to repeat were, well, not right. In addition to his .300 average, Hernandez has 10 dingers, 42 RBI and 4 SB. Again, not too shabby.
Two-Start Pitchers/Streaming Starters: It Takes Yu
Published: May 16, 2021 Another week with a significant number of top-notch upper tier choices to insert for a pair of starts, while the middle tier contains an additional dozen options to pick from in Week 8. There are not so many arms to avoid in the bottom group, and a couple atop that set of hurlers that were undoubtedly drafted with higher expectations than have been received by their fantasy owners.
MLB Prospect Report: The Next Arms to Get the Call
Published: Apr 22, 2021 Just about into the third full week of the MLB season, one thing has been quite clear, well aside from a lot of early injuries, that pitching depth isn’t what we’ve seen in the past. There are a few teams that have very deep pitching staffs, but the rest are seemingly up in the air on a nearly daily basis and there are far more bullpen games and tandem pitching days than there were even in 2019.

KBO Round Up: June 17
In a league with weak bullpens, games often turn on a dime in the KBO. Wednesday took its cue from this premise with an extra-inning contest in SK with the KT Wiz winning in the 10th inning. Kiwoom rallied late against the Lotte bullpen staying in fourth place in the standings and the NC Dinos rallied against Kia’s bullpen only to give the lead up in the bottom of the seventh leading to their second straight loss.
2020 MLB Draft Guide: Closers -- Investing vs Chasing Saves
Published: Feb 10, 2020 No category in fantasy baseball flushes precious free agent budgets, or busts waiver priorities than trying to get the next closer. For the first time in recent memory, closer costs seem to be in decline while perusing average draft positions. So the age old question of when to target a closer will provide options. In fact, for those who like to zig when the market zags, getting two top tier closers in 2020 could be a way to differentiate in drafts or auctions.

Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Report-- November 16
Welcome back to another fantasy hockey season! As usual, every week, the weekly waiver wire report will help you target some players that you should be adding, or monitoring, on the waiver wire. You can’t win a championship with the team you drafted, which means, you’ll need to be active on the waiver wire to help replace injured players, and other who are just not getting the job done. Let’s get right into it for this week.
Fantasy Baseball Daily Round Up: September 19
Suddenly with a pulse again in the Wild Card chase, the Mets prevailed in Colorado with their talented rookie moving his way up the record lists: Most home runs by a rookie, MLB history: 1. Aaron Judge , 52 2-t. Mark McGwire, 49 2-t. Pete Alonso , 49pic.twitter.com/pRCKer4DOg — Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) September 18, 2019 Remember last year when Pete Alonso was not ready for a promotion after obliterating baseballs across two levels of the minors in 2018?
Fantasy Baseball Bullpen Report: July 25
Published: Jul 25, 2019 The trade market has been completely dead. Just about every team is still in contention for the Wild Card, especially in the National League, and that has probably chilled the market. That being said, there should still be some trades between now and the trade deadline, and many of them will likely involve relievers.
Fantasy Baseball Daily Round Up: July 18
With “relentless” stitched on his glove, Chris Paddack continues to display his talent and approach with success as a rookie in an environment in 2019 which heavily favors hitters. Paddack carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning but lost it, along with a shutout on one swing by Starlin Castro . But, Paddack won his sixth game of the season yielding only one hit, one earned run and one walk with eight strikeouts against the franchise which traded him for Fernando Rodney .
Fantasy Baseball Daily Round Up: May 18
It seems like only a month ago, Kris Bryant owners panicked about his production. However, he extended his on-base streak to 26 games on Friday night with style recording the second three home run game of his career and first since 2016: Three hits and two homers tonight to extend his on-base streak to 26 games.@KrisBryant_23 is HOT. ????
Fantasy Baseball The Week That Was: April 15
A bullpen sleeper with great metrics and a couple of underpriced hitters highlight this week’s Week That Was. Brandon Brennan : Through Saturday night this week Brandon Brennan has tossed four scoreless innings and picked up a win. Also, through Saturday, Brennan’s stats are well, sick: 0.00 ERA; 0.66 WHIP; >K/IP; fastball velo >94; 64% ground balls; 16% swinging strike rate; 68% first pitch strike rate and a whopping 41% chase rate.
2018 Fantasy Hockey Injury Report: November 6
Welcome to the Fantasy Hockey Injury Report. Once a week, we’ll take a look at some injuries around the league that may affect your fantasy hockey team. Injuries will always happen and you can’t predict when, but it’s important to be ready for the aftermath and to have a plan ready. Let’s take a look and some players who are on the shelf for the upcoming week and beyond. Brock Boeser - Vancouver Canucks - Winger Injury: Groin, Day-to-day. It’s so sad that this Canucks team can’t stay healthy.
Fantasy Baseball Bullpen Report: September 20
Each week I will breakdown closers and middle relievers in many different ways to provide you with all the information you need to have a successful fantasy bullpen. *Top 10 *Note: I track blown saves that happened by guys who were brought into finish the game. Such as guys in the closer role, or other pitchers who were brought in late in the game. A guy who picks up a “blown save,” for example, in the 6th inning is very irrelevant in my opinion, when tracking fantasy assets.
