Dexter Fowler (OF-STL) - Fowler continued his strong play since returning from a wrist injury, knocking a double and home run while driving in five on Thursday. Settled into the cleanup spot, at least for now, Fowler is batting .251/.349/.479...

Yan Gomes (C-CLE) - Catcher is a super-thin position this year given the ugly performances by the likes of Jonathan Lucroy and the disappointing season by Willson Contreras among others. Gomes has been pretty disappointing himself, clocking in at .224/.318/.362,...

Brad Brach (RP-BAL) - If I'm a Zack Britton owner right now, I'm crossing my fingers that the trade deadline passes without a deal. Britton appears healthy after missing a couple months with a forearm injury, and he's recently returned...

Andrew Moore (SP-SEA) - Moore's MLB debut Thursday was an unqualified success, as the 23-year-old right-hander held the Tigers to three runs on six hits over seven solid innings with no walks and four strikeouts. Moore posted sub-9.0 K/9's at...

Rich Hill (SP-LAD) - This is getting ugly. Hill lasted just four innings Thursday against the Indians, allowing seven runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out four. His ERA rose from 3.77 to 5.14 in 35 innings....

Avisail Garcia (OF-CHW) - If All-Star selections were made today, I'd have to think Garcia would be the White Sox lone representative. The best Chicago Garcia singled and hit a three-run homer in four at-bats against Jake Odorizzi and the...

Justin Smoak (1B-TOR) - I'm still not sure Smoak is a top-10 first baseman, though after going 3-for-5 with his 12th homer and four RBI (34 now) on Monday, he probably is. The former elite prospect and Rangers/Mariners flame-out is...

Joe Musgrove (SP-HOU) - Musgrove took 91 pitches to get through 5.2 innings against Miami on Monday, but he ended up with the win after allowing just one run on eight hits with a 5:1 K:BB to lower his ERA...

Nate Karns (SP-KC) - Karns has teased us with his potential before, and perhaps he did it again on Monday in Tampa Bay. Karns fanned 10 over 6.1 innings of two-run ball, allowing six hits and walking two in lowering...

Jonathan Villar (SS-MIL) - Villar was 2-for-3 with a walk, HR #4, two runs, and two RBI Monday. He's stil batting just .213/.283/.364 after this one, but he does have six multi-hit games in his last 11 games, raising his...

Kenta Maeda (SP-LAD) - Maeda most likely saved his rotation spot on Friday against the Phillies, tossing seven innings of two-run ball with eight strikeouts. Maeda lowered his ERA from 8.05 to 6.58 in this one. Overall, his 27:6 K:BB...

Brian Johnson (SP-BOS) - DraftKings salary: $4,200 - Johnson represents an interesting DFS play in FanDuel and DraftKings for Tuesday. He's getting the call to pitch in place of Eduardo Rodriguez (paternity list) Tuesday against the Blue Jays. Johnson has...

Jharel Cotton (SP-OAK) - Cotton overcame a 10.38 ERA in his first start last week versus the Angels to toss seven shutout two-hitting innings on the road on Kansas City on Monday. The rookie walked three and struck out six...

Eric Thames (1B-MIL) - We will see whether Jesus Aguilar cuts into Thames' playing time at some point, but $16 million says that Thames will get plenty of rope. The Brewers started Thames in the two-hole between Jonathan Villar and...

Dodgers Rotation Current projection: Clayton Kershaw, Kenta Maeda, Rich Hill, Hyun-Jin Ryu, and Brandon McCarthy Other possibilities: Scott Kazmir, Alex Wood, Ross Stripling, Julio Urias (May/June) Things are starting to sort themselves out. Right now, the Opening Day rotation projects...

Dodgers #4 and #5 starters We still don't know how this will sort out, but attriti on and performance this month will likely result in two guys bubbling to the top. Julio Urias will likely make in the area of...

Dodgers outfield At this point, the Dodgers are in flux at every outfield position. We know Joc Peterson will play against RHP and probably several LHP as well, at least initially until he proves definitively that he's a platoon guy....

Adam Wainwright (SP-STL) - Wainwright continued his lack of consistency Tuesday, allowing five runs on 10 hits over just 5.2 innings against the Reds. He was touched for two home runs while walking two and striking out six and seeing...

James Shields (SP-CHW) - It's hard to know what to make of Shields' prospects for 2017, but if you like him and want to buy low, chances are you'll be able to. Shields was pummeled for seven runs (six earned)...

Roman Quinn (OF-PHI) - I don't know if Quinn is more than a utility guy going forward, but he's certainly making his case to be so this month. Quinn was 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored Tuesday and...

Jake Odorizzi (SP-TB) - Odorizzi and Chris Archer stayed, while Matt Moore went at the trade deadline. It would not be surprising to see trade talks around Odorizzi and Archer revisited this winter, as the Rays have, as usual, a...

Curtis Granderson (OF-NYM) - If you somehow started Grandeson in your DFS lineup Tuesday despite him not being in the Mets starting lineup, wow, congratulations. All Granderson did was enter the game in the sixth inning as a pinch-hitter and...

Yulieski Gurriel (UT-HOU) - With Alex Bregman having 12 hits and four home runs in his last seven games, he's clearly locked down an everyday role. Where does that leave Gurriel? Likely in a utility role, seeing time at DH,...

Howie Kendrick (OF-LAD) - Lots of guys had good games Tuesday in Philadelphia as the Dodgers tallied 15 runs, but Kendrick's 4-for-5 effort is worth noting. Kendrick fell a double short of the cycle while driving in three and scoring...

Manuel Margot (OF-SD) - It's sounding possible in reading some quotes from Padres management that both Margot and Hunter Renfroe may not be up before September 1, but it's hard to buy that. Tuesday, the Padres fielded an outfield of...

Melvin Upton Jr. (OF-TOR) - I'm sure you all know by now that Upton has been traded from the Padres to the Blue Jays. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, it looks as if his value will take a bit of...

1 Yoan Moncada BOS 2B A AA Has found his power stroke in AA and is looking like a 2016 callup candidate. 2 Alex Bregman HOU SS A- AAA Playing some 3B and OF now, so expect an August callup....

Jameson Taillon (SP-PIT) - Taillon made his return from a shoulder injury an interesting one Tuesday against the Brewers. Despite taking a 105 mph comebacker off the back of his head, Taillon stayed in the game to allow just one...

A small sampling of today's notes.... Tim Anderson (SS-CHW) - Anderson is an obvious upgrade over Jimmy Rollins and Tyler Saladino, but there are some red flags. He did go 2-for-4 with his second stolen base Tuesday and is now...

A few of our many prospect notes this week: 1 Yoan Moncada BOS 2B A AA 4 for 10 in first 2 AA games. 2016 MLB stint not out of the question. 2 Alex Bregman HOU SS A- AA .302/.411/.568...

Julio Urias - Urias will reportedly make at least one more start after his next start Wednesday against the Brewers. Seems like we've heard that before, but given Urias is looking better and better, the temptation is there to keep...

A few of our many prospect notes this week: 1 Yoan Moncada BOS 2B A A+ AA promotion reportedly soon. 36 SB, .426 OBP, and just 3 HR, but 44% of hits for XB's. 2 Alex Bregman HOU SS A-...

Jake Odorizzi (SP-TB) - Odorizzi was missing bats Tuesday against the Mariners, striking out nine hitters in 5.2 innings, but he also allowed five runs on eight hits with four walks and one Kyle Seager home run. Odorizzi saw his...

A few of our many prospect notes this week: 39 Austin Meadows PIT OF B AA .459 with 5 SB in last 10 games just when he was closing in on dropping off the list. 40 Willson Contreras CHC C...

Lonnie Chisenhall (OF-CLE) - Chisenhall has been a disappointment for most of his career after being a top prospect, but he's still done enough to have regular at-bats as an outfielder. Tuesday, Chisenhall went 3-for-4 with his first homer of...

A few of our many prospect notes this week: 45 Dan Vogelbach CHC 1B B AA Slumping a bit, but OPS still .925 and could be a nice trade chip this summer. 46 Cody Bellinger LAD 1B B AA...
