It is unbelievable how good Ronald Acuna Jr. is after tearing a second ACL. In the 13 games since his return, Acuna Jr. has four home runs while slashing .333/.418/.625. He has not stolen a base yet and his strikeout rate is slightly above his career high (30.9%) but who cares when he has a […]

Mike Trout is back to playing baseball, but for how long? I’m genuinely hoping for 80-90 games total at this point because another lower-body injury just further compounds the risk for this future HOF-er. Obviously, it is disheartening to see an all-time talent virtually perish before our eyes, but not the first nor last time […]

We are roughly one-quarter of the way through this baseball season and a week does not pass without a frustrating amount of IL stints. I have teams on the NFBC with entire benches littered with red IL stints. There is nothing more painful than not having a fantasy IL for the real-life IL but it […]

We are back and so are the injuries, sadly. There is no rest for the wicked baseball gods who deem us unworthy of love and happiness. There have been a slew of injuries since my last post two weeks ago (apologies for the delay) and I covered all the relevant ones I can remember in […]

*Knocks on wood* we luckily did not have THAT bad of an injury week. Nowhere close to last week’s bloodbath which almost made me log out of ESPN and Fantrax for this season. We all know what this means though…prepare your collective butts for next week and let’s dive into the news of the weekend. […]

Good News: I do not have to discuss Bobby Witt Jr. and Austin Riley because both are healthy after getting drilled by pitches this week! Bad News: We still have plenty of injury updates to cover while weeks away from domestic Opening Day!! Don’t you just love pain? I mean, baseball. Let’s dive into this […]

Oh boy, it is the BEST time of the year. MLB teams are finally announcing injuries and updates on their players after we sickos have been drafting them for months! While most updates are benign and others are known issues (i.e. player returning from Tommy John), there are always a handful that may cause whiplash. […]

We. Are. Back! Round 2 of my Ambulance Chasers takeover is underway as Grey has not halted access to WordPress (yet). Last week’s piece covered injured players I am actively fading this season which you can find here. My thought process is somewhat simple on buying into “bounce-backs” or players on the upward swing post-injury. […]

We are back for another week of trying to piece a winning Wednesday lineup together. Today, we are trying our hand at another stack, this time with the Colorado Rockies. Before you look, no, they are not playing at home. However, they are playing the Angels and facing off against a guy named Davis Daniel. […]

I could not have been more wrong last week on the Texas Rangers stack against Trevor Williams. Hand up, that’s on me. We’ll be better this week. We’re going to start with some fantastic value here in Jordan Hicks at only $6,800. The only cause for hesitation is that he’s playing at Coors Field. On […]

With the trade deadline well behind us, that means the next major event on the fantasy baseball calendar are the playoffs. Likely one month away in most leagues, we have to come to grips that the performance of the players we have are what we are going to be stuck with for the remainder of […]

Remember the hype around the Blue Jays offense this offseason? They added Daulton Varsho and Brandon Belt. They also had emerging players like Alejandro Kirk in the core of the lineup. Yeah, those players haven’t exactly worked out yet. Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. were due for bounce-back seasons, right? Remember the hype on […]
