Byron Buxton hit the longest home run by a right-hander not named Mike Trout in 2025

He posted career-highs in home runs (35), RBIs (83), hits (129), runs (97), and triples (7). His 4.9 bWAR also tied for the second-highest of his career.

MLB Injury Report: August 16
The fantasy baseball season is long and it requires a lot of patience, perseverance and proactivity in order to be successful. Injuries are to be expected so it should not come as a surprise to GMs when key players are out for extended periods.

This is especially true at this juncture of the season with the playoffs right around the corner.

Closers in Flux Cam Bedrosian (33% owned) – Bedrosian got the first crack at a save for the Angels since Keynan Middleton hit the DL; however, he blew the save chance.

2018 MLB Injury Report: April 10
It has been an active yet painful few days since the last injury report as we have several maladies to address. Fantasy baseball is a marathon, not a sprint.
