Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is not in the starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. It appears that Jones is getting a routine day off to rest. Joey Rickard will bat eighth and play center field against righty Hunter Wood. Rickard does not have enough upside worth considering in DFS contests.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. The season is really starting to wind down. There are only going to be three more of these lists coming out before the rosters expand to 40 players. But until then, there is still plenty of important prospect names to follow. Though most of the pl[...]

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can. The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when neede[...]

With so many big-name players changing teams this trade deadline Kevin Gausman may fly under the radar. On the surface, he doesn't look like much, with a 5-8 record and 4.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 7.55 K/9 in 21 starts with Baltimore this season. However, this move to Atlanta could be exactly what Gausman needs to find success. Gausman was traded from Baltimore along with currently injured reliever Darren O'Day for four minor leaguers. The minor leaguers are pitchers Evan Phillips and Bruce Zimm[...]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. What a crazy week it has been! The trade deadline passed with several more notable names being shipped off, several top prospects featured highly on last week's list — including Tyler O'Neill and Kolby Allard — have since been promoted and Vl[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones will not be traded at the deadline on Tuesday. The veteran outfielder may have evoked his full no-trade clause to remain in Baltimore. Even on the worst team in baseball in 2018, Jones has been fantasy relevant with a .285 average, 11 home runs and 44 RBI. He would've been much more attractive with a contender down the stretch, though.

This article is the fourth in our series on trade and acquisition targets for the second half of the season. Part 1: Top-50 Players to Target Part 2: Mid-Tier and Bargain Targets on Offense Part 3: Mid-Tier and Bargain Pitchers Part 4: Offensive Category Targets Part 5: Pitching Category Targets Each section focuses on players who offer strong value for that specific category while not crippling a team in other categories. It is worth noting that with only about ten to twelve starts le[...]

Despite his name appearing in trade talks, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is likely to remain with the O's through the rest of the 2018 season, per The Athletic's Dan Connolly. Due to his service time, Jones can veto all trades, so it would be his decision as to whether or not he would be allowed to be traded. Per Connolly, Jones will likely stay with the O's to avoid uprooting his family in the middle of the season and to properly end his time with the team he has been with for th[...]

Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones had a monster day at the plate in Friday's 15-5 routing of the Rays. Jones went 3-for-5 with two singles, a three-run home run, and four RBI. Despite playing in a weak offense, Jones has put together a decent fantasy season to this point, batting .281 with 11 HR and 42 RBI. With his name in trade talks, there is potential for his fantasy value to increase by the end of the month.

A source familiar with talks said the odds are "55-45" that Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones will be traded before the deadline on Tuesday. The Indians and Phillies both have interest in Jones, and he'd most likely move to right field for either team. The main obstacle might be Jones' 10-and-5 service-time rights, which give him the ability to block a trade to any team. Some observers think he might want an extension or at least assurance that he's part of the plan, and the Orioles have [...]
