  • • "Boring" Bats to Buy - May 12th, 2026
    Brandon Marsh OF PHI The perennial "boring" OF to draft, Marsh is lighting up the league in 2026, to the tune of .382 OBP and .353 BA through his first 144 PAs. Backing up the numbers is a sea of red highlighted by a 43.5% Sweet Spot percentage and a 48% Hard Hit rate. The homers are unlikely to surge to 20 on the year, but the rest of his numbers should stay solid with sustainable contact numbers...2026

  • • Chourio Makes His Return - May 5, 2026
    Jackson Chourio, OF, Brewers Jackson Chourio was finally activated from the injured list to make his 2026 debut after suffering a fractured hand in the WBC. He hit second in the lineup for the Brewers and went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, and one run scored. Not only did he collect four hits, but all four of them were hit harder than 102 miles per hour. He certainly waited no time to start pr...2026

  • • Julio is Heating Up - May 2, 2026
    Julio Rodriguez, OF, Mariners Julio Rodriguez is finally getting in a groove, going 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Friday's game against the Royals. This makes three homers in the past week, and he is now slashing .262/.333/.400 with four home runs, 16 runs, 16 RBI, and three steals. It's not uncommon to see Rodriguez have a dreadful April, as he has been one of the most consistent slow s...2026
  • • Fantasy Baseball's Unsung Hero - May 1, 2026
    Alec Burleson, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals Burleson went 3-5 with R, 3 RBI, K on two hard hit balls. Burleson is truly an unsung hero in the fantasy baseball space. His 13/11 K/BB ratio makes him super relevant in points leagues, and his .409 xwOBACON and 47% hard hit rate provide an excellent floor. His 15% pull air rate will keep him in the 20-25 HR range. He is currently running his fourth straight...2026

    Taj Bradley (SP-MIN) put together another quality outing in a no-decision against the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing 2 ER on 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 7 over 7 IP. The 25 year-old righty served up a lone round tripper while firing 73 of his 114 offerings for strikes in the contest. Bradley now owns a respectable 2.85 ERA, 9.7 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, and 4.08 xFIP through his first 7 starts (41...2026

    Sal Stewart, 1B, Reds Sal Stewart continued his sensational rookie campaign on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base. He's now slashing a robust .289/.388/.639 with 17 runs, 8 home runs, 20 RBI, and 5 stolen bases. If the power and speed aren't exciting enough, he's also put up a 18.4% strikeout rate and 14.3% walk rate, which are incredibly impressi...2026

    In The Field 3B Graham Pauley left Friday's game early with left oblique discomfort. The Diamondbacks received good news that OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was cleared to be activated. He was in the starting lineup on Saturday. He was recovering from ACL surgery in September. Gurriel Jr. hit .248 with 19 HR, 52 R, 80 RBI, and 10 SB in 546 PA last year.

  • • A Catching Revival? - April 11, 2026
    Ben Rice, C, New York Yankees Rice came in for a pinch-hit AB in today's game and swatted a solo homer. Rice is now slashing .342/.490/.763. He's doing some irrationally good things right now, including a 74% hard hit rate, 23% walk rate, and .601 xwOBACON. Those rates are unsustainable, but they further prove that Rice's abilities are no fluke. This is an elite catcher. He's still struggling agai...2026

    Adley Rutschman (C-BAL) is somehow already 28 as he comes off an injury-shortened 2024 campaign in which he recorded a career-worst 91 wRC+ as he finished with just a .220 average, 9 HR, 29 RBI, and 37 R over 365 PA.

    Francisco Alvarez (C-NYM) had a tumultuous 2025 season as a fractured hamate bone suffered in March delayed his season debut before he was demoted to Triple-A and sustained a sprained UCL in his right thumb after his return to the majors. Nevertheless, Alvarez performed well while playing through that injury, compiling a .276 average, 8 HR, 21 RBI, and 22 R across 139 PA after rejoining the big cl...2026

    Pete Alonso, 1B, Baltimore Orioles Alonso has been a consistent fantasy producer since his rookie year in 2019. Alonso has displayed some variance year-to-year, but he's played in over 152 games in every season (except 2020 where he played in 57 of 60), slugged over .500 in five seasons, and driven in over 100 in four. This is as stable of a fantasy asset as they come. There is a false narrative a...2026

Still, this was now the fourth straight great start by the youngster, who ...2026

I think Jensen has put the "sleeping thru his alarm" debacle to bed. He's 5-12 with two homers in the last three games. Even though he's striking out at 37% (will come down), he's hitting the ball hard 53% of the tim...2026
