I feel obligated to mention that Tim Tebow will DH in two games this week but it literally means nothing. Dansby Swanson - Dansby Swanson is having a fantastic spring training and might be showing a bit more fantasy value

Aaron Blair, Atlanta Braves - Aaron Blair tossed his first two innings of spring training over the weekend and saw some mixed results allowing three hits and a run over his two innings. After the game he said he had

Matt Kemp, Atlanta Braves - Matt Kemp has dropped a reported 30 pounds this past offseason as the Braves wanted him to come into camp this year in better baseball shape. Kemp was outstanfing for the Braves and actually helped

Brandon Phillips, Braves - After nixing a trade to the Braves back in November, Brandon Phillips was sent to the Braves Sunday in a deal for two minor league prospects. After Phillips declined the deal earlier in the offseason the

Mark Trumbo - Mark Trumbo laced four hits Saturday including his 27th double of the season. Trumbo has had a huge season and has lined himself up for potentially a good payday with a 124 wRC+ and a .256/.317/.535 in

Elvis Andrus - Elvis Andrus homered twice in his 3-for-4 effort on Saturday. The homers were his seventh and eight of the season which now gives him a career high in homers along with his 68 RBI, which is also

Jose Fernandez, Miami Marlins - Jose Fernandez dominated the Nationals with 8.0 shutout innings and 13 strikeouts. In his first full season back from Tommy John surgery he's been incredible throwing 182.1 innings while striking out 253 batters (12.49 per

AJ Pollock, Arizona Diamondbacks - AJ Pollock launched his second homer of the season Tuesday and has gotten off to a great start to his season in late August triple slashing .286/.359/.457 with a 116 wRC+. If owners (like myself)

Yoan Moncada, Boston Red Sox - Yoan Moncada notched his first two hits of his career, including a double, a RBI and two runs scored. This gives him two straight starts for the Red Sox at third and it looks

Gary Sanchez, New York Yankees - Gary Sanchez continues to annihilate MLB pitching launching his 11th homer in 23 games and he's homered in three straight games this week. What else is there to say about Sanchez at this point?

Gregory Polanco, Pittsburgh Pirates - Gregory Polanco launched homers 18 and 19 Tuesday in a 3-for-4 game at the dish. He's had fantastic season overall and has been a real breakout player, but I'm worried about the numbers that he

Alex Bregman, Houston Astros - After a slow start to his major league career, Slex Bregman has been on fire over the last two weeks and has now homers in three of his last six games, alternating games with homers.

Jonathan Lucroy, Texas Rangers - Jonthan Lucroy launched a pair of solo homers in the Rangers 3-2 win over the A's Saturday. This gives him three in his short time as a Ranger and now has homered in back-to-back games.

Gregory Polanco, Pittsburgh Pirates - July has been a very painful month for Polanco (.204/.259/.333) after his extremely strong first half, but is finishing the month strong collecting hits in five of his last six game including a 4-for-4 game

Michael Saunders, Toronto Blue Jays - Saunders' blistering start to the season has slowed a ton as of late as he's now only homered four times since his three homer game on June 17th. Saunders launched a pair of homer

Sonny Gray, Oakland A's - Sonny Gray's first start since the All Star Break could be described as a less than stellar outing, but he still managed to pick up his fourth win of the season with a quality start.

Josh Donaldson, Toronto Blue Jays - Josh Donaldson launched homers 21 and 22 Tuesday in the Blue Jays win and now is currently on pace to have career highs in a plethora of categories. Since the beginning of June, Donaldson

CJ Cron, Los Angeles Angels - CJ Cron had a humongous on Saturday going 6-for-6 with two homers and he missed a third homer in his final at bat by maybe 15 feet. The homers leave him one short of

Lucas Giolito, Washington Nationals - Giolito was excellent in his debut tossing four shutout innings against the Mets. Owners obviously would have liked to see I'm at least make it through five innings (stupid rain) to pick up the win,

Carlos Carrasco, Cleveland Indians - Carrasco dominated the Tigers Saturday with a complete game shutout for his third win of the season. He allowed just five baserunners on four hits and a walk and struck out seven which is the

Blake Snell, Tampa Bay Rays - Snell bounced back from a "bad" performance against the Mariners where he allowed five runs, one earned, in three and a third with a quality start allowing just two earned runs over 6.2 innings

Joc Pederson launched homers number 10 and 11 Tuesday as he continues to be a true three outcome player with 25% of his base hits leaving the yard. An issue compared to last season though is that Pederson isn't walking

Jose Fernandez, Miami Marlins - In a world without Clayton Kershaw, we'd be talking a lot more about the run that Jose Fernandez is on. With seven shutout innings Tuesday he's now one seven straight starts and has lowered his

David Price, Boston Red Sox - Price tossed a quality start against the Rockies Tuesday allowing three runs over 7.0 innings while striking out six batters. The win was his seventh of the season and he's slowly bringing down his

Aaron Blair, Atlanta Braves - Aaron Blair was crushed by the Pirates for the inning and a third that he was able to stay on the field giving up nine runs with all being earned. This start could have been

Sean Manaea, Oakland Athletics - The Red Sox destroyed Manaea on Tuesday scoring eight runs in just 2.2 innings, running his season total up to 16 earned runs over his first 12.2 innings on the year. While his overall stat

Carlos Correa, Houston Astros - Correa is starting to heat up at the plate after a slow start in comparison to the number she put up in his rookie season. He raked out three hits and a homer for the

Matt Wisler, Atlanta Braves - Wisler was absolutely dominant Tuesday tossing eight shutout innings while notching his first win of the season. This marked the second time in his past three starts that Wisler has gone at least six innings

David Price, Boston Red Sox - Feeling down on your season? You can count on the Braves to turn that all around in one start. Price tossed eight innings allowing two runs while striking out 14 Braves batters in route

Wade Miley, Seattle Mariners - Wade Miley's incredibly bad season continued Tuesday with a 3.2 inning outing where he allowed 13 baserunners but managed to allow just three runs. His 76.9% LOB rate for the game was WELL above his

JD Martinez, Detroit Tigers - Martinez was on fire Tuesday afternoon turning in a 4-for-5 game with two RBI which was his first RBI beside a solo homerun he's hit this season. While the power numbers aren't quite what we

Nomar Mazara, Texas Rangers - It's expected that we'll see an announcement later tonight/early about Nomar Mazara being called up to make his major league debut Sunday. Shin Soo Choo suffered a calf injury Saturday and Mazara was pulled from

Brian Dozier, Minnesota Twins - DraftKings Salary $4,500 There are a pair of Twins who have great numbers against Yovani Gallardo, Joe Mauer and Brian Dozier. Unfortunately all of Mauer's hits have been singles whie Dozier has at least put

Hector Olivera, Atlanta Braves - Olivera is tearing the cover off the ball this spring and is triple slashing .429/.432/.514 in 12 games. This is a huge step in the right direction for Olivera as he didn't exactly impress as

Tampa Bay Rays Storylines Moore or Less in 2016? - Matt Moore had a mixed bag of results in his return from Tommy John Surgery in 2015 going 3-and-4 over 12 starts with 63.0 IP. However, it was from September

Tampa Bay Rays Storylines: There's A Snell In The Air - Lefty Blake Snell is going to be the biggest storyline in Rays camp this year as after his dominant 2015 over three minor league levels. Across High-A, AA, and

Carlos Correa - Carlos Correa launched two homers Saturday giving him on the season with 61 runs driven in. Even those who felt Correa would be a superstar have to be impressed/surprised about exactly how fast he reached the level

Brandon Phillips - Brandon Phillips raked out three hits Saturday and drove in his 64th and 65th RBI of the season. Phillips has enjoyed a nice bounce back season to being fantasy relevant at the season, even if the days

Troy Tulowitski - Troy Tulowitski left game one of the Jays doubleheader Saturday with what the team originally thought was just a bone bruise after colliding with OF Kevin Pillar, but that was before his MRI results returned. Tulo, instead

Edwin Encarnacion - And the fantasy MVP for the evening went to Edwin Encarnacion who extended his hit streak to 24 games, oh and hit three homers and drove in nine runs in the Blue Jays 15-4 thrashing of Buck

Joe Ross - Joe Ross, like many others, owns the Brewers in 2015. After tossing eight shutout innings in his second career start earlier this year, Ross baffled the Brew Crew again over seven innings allowing a lone solo shot

Lorenzo Cain - Lorenzo Cain is showing no signs of slowing down on his breakout 2015 season with a 4-for-4 effort Tuesday including his 12th homer of the season. Cain is in the middle of a small hot streak, picking

Jose Fernandez - Bad news came Saturday for baseball fans as Jose Fernandez left the team to fly back to Miami to get his right shoulder examined. He said he felt the tightness after his start Friday against Atlanta, and

Matt Wisler - Wisler had by the worst start of his major league career, allowing seven runs to the Phillies over just 4.2 innings. Wisler was remaining slightly relevant in fantasy but with the Braves' recent play, I'm not sure

Chris Davis, Baltimore Orioles - Chris Davis had a monster game off Braves' starter Julio Teheran with two homers and five RBI in the Orioles' win. He quietly has posted some nice counting stats in a rebound year, with a

Cole Hamels - If Saturday was the last day that Cole Hamels threw in a Phillies uniform, he made it as memorable as possible with a no-hitter against the Cubs. The only baserunners he allowed came on a pair of

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers - The reports of Clayton Kershaw's demise were greatly exaggerated.... Well if anyone actually believed that he wasn't the pitcher he's been his whole career. Kershaw followed his best start of the season with one

Jason Grilli - In a huge blow for the Braves, Jason Grilli suffered a ruptured achillies Saturday and will miss the rest of the season. He's been great for the Braves this season and he was likely going to bring

Alex Gordon, Kansas City Royals - Gordon took full advantage of all his at-bats in the double-header Tuesday, going 6-for-9 with a homer and four RBI. Gordon's stat line is amazingly similar to last year whether you're looking at counting

Mallex Smith, Atlanta Braves - A name for dynasty leagues to keep an eye on is speedster Mallex Smith. Smith came over to Atlanta for Justin Upton and has done nothing but tear the cover off the ball, and he

Joe Kelly, Boston Red Sox - Joe Kelly got hammered by the Orioles for five runs over 3.2 innings Tuesday. Kelly is really frustrating for owners because he'll string a few solid starts together before dropping a bomb like this

Max Scherzer, Washington Nationals - Poor Max Scherzer.... One strike away from perfection and he plunks Jose Tabata on the elbow. But I guess finishing off Josh Harrison one batter later to complete the no-hitter is a pretty solid consolation

Luis Valbuena, Houston Astros - Luis Valbuena has been one of the biggest power surprises in baseball this season as another two homers Tuesday gives him 16 on the season. He drove in four on the game pushing his total

Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins - This has been one of the busiest months in terms of super high level prospects getting called up that I can remember. Buxton is getting the call Sunday to Minnesota and likely will be inserted

Cameron Maybin, Atlanta Braves - Maybin is slowly but surely becoming fantasy relevant once again. He picked up another two hits Saturday giving him six multi-hit efforts in his last eight games. Maybin has also settled into the top two

Gordon Beckham, Chicago White Sox: Fanduel Price: $2,500 Gordon Beckham has been getting the majority of the at bats at third base so $2,500 for a starter at the position isn't a bad move. He has a hit in six

Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox - $3,200 A powerful first baseman playing in Toronto? Yes please. Jose Abreu took Dickey deep on Tuesday and he gets to face the homerun extraordinaire Marco Estrada on Wednesday. After not homering since May

Matt Harvey, New York Mets - The Pirates tagged Matt Harvey seven runs over four innings in the worst start of the righties career. He allowed eight baserunners, two walks and six hits, and surrendered two homers. Obviously we have

Jose Quintana, Chicago White Sox - Since his nine run implosion on April 19th, Jose Quintana has turned in stat lines of 7.0 innings with two runs or less in four of his five starts. This includes Tuesday where he

Bartolo Colon, New York Mets - Draft Kings Value - $7,300: Bartolo Colon against the Phillies almost sounds like a no-brainer Sunday with how well Colon has pitched this year and with how bad the Phillies are. Granted, we all

Nelson Cruz, Seattle Mariners - Let's start this one off with the fact that Nelson Cruz's ISO is the 58th best slugging percentage in baseball at .463. He belted another two homers Saturday before being lifted for a pinch runner

Lance Lynn, St. Louis Cardinals - On a day where Carlos Carrasco facing the Tigers is the highest priced pitcher on the day, Lance Lynn against the Brewers for $8,800 seems like an absolute bargain. It's no secret that the

Carlos Carrasco, Cleveland Indians - Carlos Carrasco was dominant in his return to the mound Tuesday after having been hit in the face with a line drive his last time out. He tossed just five innings (which may have been

Josh Donaldson, Toronto Blue Jays - Donaldson has been feasting on the Braves pitchers over the first two games of the series launching three homers including a walk off blast in the 10th Saturday. He's finally providing some of the

Kyle Kendrick, Colorado Rockies - Ahhh.... This is the Kendrick we all expected and if you added him and started him in Colorado you probably deserved to have had this happen to you (thought the same thing when someone in

Andrelton Simmons - Simmons turned in a huge day at the plate Saturday launching his first homer of the spring while going 3-for-3 on the day. Simmons was terrible last year (worse than the player formerly known as BJ Upton

Atlanta Braves Jace Peterson, Pulling away from the pack? - Okay, maybe it's too early to say he's pulling ahead in the Braves' second base competition but Peterson is off to an excellent start to spring training. He's hitting a

Congrats everyone, we have made it. Spring Training games officially start tomorrow (if you're reading this on Monday) or today (If you are reading this Tuesday). Atlanta Braves Center Field, The Dumpster Fire - Oh wow, the excitement in Braves

Atlanta Braves Braves Final Rotation Spot- On a team littered with potential position battles and platoons set to be decided this spring, the Braves rotation seems pretty well set in stone with the top four pitchers. The fifth starter battle

Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers - Miguel Cabrera is to the point when .315, 25 HR, and 109 RBI is no longer noteworthy for Cabrera because that legitimately is considered a down season for him. His 2012 and 2013 were just

Alex Wood, Atlanta Braves - Wood was a tough luck loser Tuesday after allowing just three runs over 6.2 innings, but he fell victim to the worst hitting team in baseball right now as they could only score two runs

Jake Arrieta, Chicago Cubs - One of these days Arrieta is bound to finish off a no-hitter. It seems like he has flirted with history once a month this season and his no-hitter attempt for September came Tuesday and last

Michael Wacha, St. Louis Cardinals - Since returning from the disabled list Wacha has given up seven runs in five innings over two starts with four walks and six strikeouts. With Wacha's injury being of the shoulder variety it's not

Justin Masterson, St. Louis Cardinals - The Cardinals announced that Justin Masterson has been removed from the rotation and will pitch for at least the foreseeable future out of the bullpen. Simply put, Masterson has been terrible since coming over

Kris Bryant, Chicago Cubs - And exhale... Cubs' fans can rest easy that Kris Bryant's to injury is nothing minor and the slugger returned to the lineup Tuesday and went 1-for-3 with his 14th double of the year. It's still

Clay Buchholz, Boston Red Sox - Buchholz actually turned in his second straight quality start, tossing seven innings of two run baseball while striking out nine which is his second highest total for the season behind the 12 he struck

Rymer Liriano, San Diego Padres - It only took Liriano 13 AAA games before the Padres were convinced that he was ready for the big leagues and are calling him up to the majors. Over two levels, Liriano hit 14

Shane Greene, New York Yankees - Greene dominated the Tigers over eight shutout innings to notch his third win of the season. He struck out five batters but walked three which is a season high for any of his starts.

Brett Anderson, Colorado Rockies - Anderson left Tuesday's start one pitch into the fourth with what appeared to be a lower back injury. Up until that point, he was pitching well allowing one hit over three innings while striking out

Anthony Ranaudo, Boston Red Sox - Ranaudo made his major league debut Friday getting the call after the Red Sox traded away over half of their starting rotation at the deadline. He pitched well, lasting six innings allowing just two

Everth Cabrera, San Diego Padres - Cabrera was activated from the disabled list before Tuesday's game and was immediately placed in his spot atop the Padres lineup. At the time of going down with his injury Cabrera was hitting just

Jeremy Hellickson, Tampa Bay Rays - Jeremy Hellickson was recalled Saturday to start for the Rays and was very effective despite running up a very high pitch count. The righty lasted just 4.2 innings but struck out five while scattering

Grady Sizemore, Philadelphia Phillies - Sizemore continued his excellent work for the Phillies going 3-for-5 out of the leadoff spot with two runs. While for the season his average sits at just .239 he is hitting an impressive .341 since

Matt Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals - Carpenter hasn't quite lived up to the lofty preseason standards he set for himself after his MVP caliber 2013 season, but the second baseman has been a good fantasy asset for owners this season.

Vidal Nuno, Arizona Diamondbacks - It's probably safe to say Nuno enjoys pitching in the NL already as he was great in his first start since being traded by the Yankees to Arizona. He threw seven shutout innings with seven

Khris Davis, Milwaukee Brewers - Davis left the game Tuesday after injuring his shoulder sliding into second base. He was replaced by Elian Herrera and it has not yet been determined how much time Davis might miss if any at

Dallas Keuchel, Houston Astros - Keuchel was scratched from his start Saturday with wrist inflammation, but the team is optimistic that he will be able to make his next start. He had been receiving treatment all week for his wrist,

Jake Arrieta, Chicago Cubs - Arrieta was dominant yet again Tuesday as he took a perfect game into the 7th inning before Billy Hamilton led off the inning with a single. He completed with seventh and was able to pick

Jonathan Lucroy, Milwaukee Brewers - Lucroy, the most valuable catcher in the MLB according to fWAR, launched two homers and drove in five runs with four coming on a grand slam off reliever Brad Zeigler. After Ryan Braun was hit

Eugenio Suarez, Detroit Tigers - The Tigers shortstop got all the hard parts of the cycle completed, but couldn't seem to add a single as he finished the game 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBI. Since being called up

Gregory Polanco, Pittsburgh Pirates - While Polanco was actually called up a few days ago, June 13th is when he truly arrived. He recorded his first multi-hit game, capped off with a two run game winning homer in the top

Chase Anderson, Arizona Diamondbacks - Anderson picked up his fourth win in four starts Tuesday with six innings while allowing just one run via the solo homer. Anderson fits into the same category as Scott Carroll of the White Sox

Jake Arrieta, Chicago Cubs - Arrieta had a decent outing against the Giants picking up his first loss of the season along with allowing four runs in six innings. Arrieta has yet to throw more than six innings on the

Samuel Denudo, Minnesota Twins - Denudo put together a solid start against the Giants giving up two runs in 5.2 innings but couldn't get the win as he left trailing 2-0. He has made four starts now for the Twins

Latroy Hawkins, Colorado Rockies - Despite picking up the win after allowing the go ahead run in the ninth, Hawkins has strung together a couple of poor outings as he has allowed runs in each of his last three appearances.

Prince Fielder, Texas Rangers - The source of Prince Fielder's power issues this year may have been identified Saturday as the first baseman will miss a few games with a herniated disk in his neck. He received a nerve blocking

Mike Minor, Atlanta Braves - Mike Minor finally had a 2013 Minor-esque performance with 6.2 shutout innings while striking out six with three hits allowed. It was Minor's first outing without allowing a homerun and he lowered his FIP in

Colorado Rockies Outfield Platoon - With Michael Cuddyer on the disabled list the Rockies are using a platoon of Corey Dickerson, Brandon Barnes, and Drew Stubbs to divide up the at bats in his absence. All three are playing well,

Scott Carroll, Chicago White Sox - Scott Carroll picked up the loss Saturday throwing 6.0 innings but his defense allowed two unearned runs which were enough to send Carroll home with the loss. Carroll' stat line is almost baffling, as

Billy Hamilton, Cincinnati Reds - Billy Hamilton had a day to remember Tuesday with his 10th steal of the yeah and his first career major league homerun. The homer was surprising, but it was even more of a shock that

Gregory Polanco, Pittsburgh Pirates - Pirates top prospect Gregory Polanco is tearing up AAA and it appears we have now entered the "Polanco Watch" stage of 2014. With another homer Tuesday, he now has three homers and has driven in

Jonathan Singleton, Houston Astros: Jonathan Singleton launched a pair of homers in AAA Saturday and with the complete lack of production at first base this year, he could be the next Astros top prospect to get called up to the

Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals - After dominating the Marlins last time out, Stephen Strasburg was roughed up Tuesday by the Fish and lasted just four innings with an ugly line of 6 runs on 8 hits while striking out 5.

Kyle Gibson, Minnesota Twins - Kyle Gibson moved to 2-0 on the year with 6.1 innings of one run baseball Friday against the Royals. He was able to keep the ball on the ground forcing 11 GB outs against 5

Chris Johnson, Atlanta Braves - Chris Johnson extended his hitting streak to seven games Tuesday and is now triple slashing .308/.321/.534 in '14. In 2013 Johnson was labeled as having great BABIP luck (.394) which was much higher than any

Chris Johnson, Atlanta Braves - Chris Johnson extended his hitting streak to seven games Tuesday and is now triple slashing .308/.321/.534 in '14. In 2013 Johnson was labeled as having great BABIP luck (.394) which was much higher than any

R.A. Dickey, Toronto Blue Jays - R.A. Dickey pitched like it was 2012 Saturday against the Yankees, giving up zero runs and five hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out six Yankee hitters en-route to his first victory of 2014

Seth Smith, San Diego Padres: Smith is tied with Brandon Belt and Freddie Freeman for the NL homerun lead after going 2-3 with a homer Tuesday evening. Smith puts together four straight 14+ homeruns seasons with Colorado and Oakland from

Chris Young, Seattle Mariners - Young signed a one year major league deal with the Mariners Thursday to reasonably just keep the seat warm until Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker are healthy. Young hasn't pitched since 2012 with the Mets

David Hale, Atlanta Braves: Hale is going to make the Braves rotation in a sort of default way as injuries to Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy will have them somewhat scrambling to fill the rotation. Freddy Garcia will man the

Nelson Cruz, Baltimore Orioles: Fresh off his 50 game suspension for suspected PED use, Cruz signed a one year $8 million contract with the Orioles. The Orioles may have a bargain for the 2014 season if they can limit Cruz

Andrelton Simmmons, Atlanta Braves: Simmons turned in a fantastic first full season in the majors, and was rewarded with a 7 year $58 million contract Thursday from the Braves. Simmons was valuable to fantasy lineups last season thanks to his
