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...
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.
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...

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...
