Tommy Pham Pham hit his 13th homer of the season on Thursday, as he continued his breakout campaign. Pham is now slashing .309/.392/.532 in 268 plate appearances, good for a wRC+ of 142. That figure would rank inside the top...

Domingo Santana Santana continued his excellent 2017 campaign, going 4-for-5 with three runs, two RBI, and a walk in the Brewers 11-2 victory over the Cubs. Santana ended the month of April hitting just .197, but he has been beasting...

Masahiro Tanaka The Tanaka-saince is officially upon us. Tanaka had his third straight excellent start, allowing just one run over seven innings against the Blue Jays in Yankee Stadium on Monday. He struck out eight and allowed just six...

Sean Doolittle Just as Santiago Castillo was starting to get into a bit of a rhythm, he was sent to the clubhouse after being hit with a foul ball on Saturday. When the A's subsequently had a save situation, Doolittle...

Jose Berrios The third time truly has been the charm for Berrios, who struggled mighty in both his first (four starts, 10.20 ERA) and second (10 starts, 7.27 ERA) stints in the majors, but has thrived in 2017. Berrios has...

Felipe Rivero Don't be surprised if Rivero starts getting save opportunities, as Tony Watson blew his second straight save opportunity on Wednesday night. Watson was already on a wobbly chair in Pittsburgh, and Rivero has been excellent once again this...

Greg Holland Holland picked up his 20th save of the season already, and he is still yet to blow a save. Holland has been one of the best values of the 2017 season, as he was a late-round closer who...

Brad Hand For the second straight night, Hand closed out a Padres victory, giving him two saves on the season. However, there are a few caveats before you start jumping on Hand for your waiver wire pickup. First of all,...

German Marquez Marquez had yet another outstading performance on Tuesday, as the 22-year-old is starting to make a name for himself in the Rockies' rotation. The 6' 1" righty is now 3-2 on the season with a 3.86 ERA, 3.26...

Craig Kimbrel Kimbrel was a player I was down on before 2017, his batted ball profile seemed primed for a blowup season, and I thought fantasy players were drafting him way too early. Well, it's time to eat crow, as...

Michael Conforto Conforto continues to show why the Mets should have had him in the starting lineup since Day One, and why it's going to be exceptionally hard to take him out of the lineup even when Yoenis Cespedes returns...

Jose Abreu Hope all those owners that were worried by Abreu's slow start held onto their stock in the 30-year-old, as he homered for the second straight day, giving him four homers in the past week. Abreu has brought his...

Matt Harvey Before Thursday's start, Harvey looked good on the surface, but there were signs of trouble just below the surface. With a 2.84 ERA and 4.91 FIP heading into the game, maybe it's not too surprising to see that...

Wade Miley Miley was the best non-Chris Sale pitcher on Thursday, going eight innings and allowing just one run on two hits and a walk while striking out 11. Wade Miley, yes THAT Wade Miley, is now sporting a 1.89/3.18/2.90...

Tim Anderson Anderson finally created a little space between his batting average and his slugging percentage, as he got his first extra base hit of 2017 on Thursday, a solo bomb that came as part of a 1-for-5 day. Anderson...

Aledmys Diaz Diaz has picked up right where he left off so far in 2017, slashing .278/.278/.583 through the Cardinals first eight games. The slugging percentage is what truly stands out, as Diaz hit his third home run of the...

Brandon Kintzler Kintzler did a nice job in his first save opportunity of 2017, tossing a 1-2-3 ninth with a strikeout to end the game. Kintzler now has two shutout innings to start 2017, which is precisely two more than...

That's like your opinion, (Breg)man There's a lot to like with the `Stros young third baseman. Alex Bregman made his MLB debut in 2016 and was able to shake off a disastrous 1-for-32 start to his career, finishing the season...

Where Does He Play? Evan Gattis is fresh off a season in which he hit 32 home runs and will be returning to the friendly confines of Minute Maid Park for 2017. So why does it seem like Gattis has...

Jarrod Dyson Dyson continued his nice little run of late, going 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and two runs scored. Dyson was 2-for-4 with two runs and a steal Wednesday, and had a run and an RBI Tuesday, as well....

Yasmany Tomas Tomas hit his 30th home run of 2016 on Monday night, part of a 2-for-5 game in which he scored twice and knocked in five runs. Tomas now has 71 runs and 80 RBI in addition to his...

Justin Upton It took him a while, but Upton has finally looked like the guy you were hoping for when you drafted him this season, and if you were able to make it into the playoffs of your league even...

Felix Hernandez King Felix looked better Wednesday, going seven shutout innings, while only allowing four hits. Of course, because this is 2016, the statline wasn't all good, as he also walked three and only struck out four. I've been pumping...

Brian Dozier Dozier continued his scorching hot second half, stealing a base and collecting two more RBI in the Twins win over the Tigers. The steal was Dozier's 15th of the season, giving him 56 combined HR+SB. Only Billy Hamilton...

Gerrit Cole It was an unsuccessful return for Gerrit Cole on Monday, as he lasted just two innings, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three. Cole had only missed a couple starts, and had...

Tim Anderson Tim Anderson left Thursday's game with a bruised right calf, but the injury doesn't sound too serious. Anderson has had himself a productive rookie season, hitting .282 with seven home runs and seven steals in 308 plate appearances....

Jedd Gyorko Gyorko has officially found his groove in St. Louis, something that took a little while, but many people thought might be coming. Gyorko went 2-for-4 with his 23rd home run of 2016 Monday, and is now slashing .249/.310/.505...

Albert Pujols In case you don't have Prince Albert on your team, you might have missed the fact that he drove in his 100th run of the season Thursday night. While Pujols may not longer be the overall fantasy producer...

Ervin Santana While the Twins have irrelevant for the majority of 2016, Santana has quietly put together quite a nice stretch of baseball in the past couple of months. Santana continued that success Sunday, going seven innings, allowing two runs...

Sandy Leon Leon got the start at DH for the Tigers on Thursday, and answered the call, taking Matt Boyd deep in the fourth inning, Leon's lone hit of the day. Leon actually dropped his batting average with the 1-for-3...

David Phelps Phelps did well in his third start of the season for Miami, getting the win in 5.1 innings of two-run ball. Phelps tallied eight strikeouts while allowing four hits and just one walk. Phelps moved from the bullpen...

Rougned Odor Odor has had quite an interesting 2016. On the one hand, he has 22 home runs, 11 steals, 130 RuBIns, and a .281 batting average - it's been a breakout year, and he is still just 22 years...

A.J. Ramos/Fernando Rodney Pick up Fernando Rodey right now if he's available in your league. A.J. Ramos was placed on the 15-day DL Tuesday, retroactive to August 6. Ramos was placed on the DL with a broken ring finger, which...
