Andrew McCutchen, now 32, is unlikely to ever regain his spectacular prime years from 2012-15, but after a disappointing 2016 campaign, he recovered with solid seasons in 2017 and 18, posting 20+ home runs and double-digit steals both years. He is being drafted 144th overall on average after signing with the Phillies this offseason.Jessie [...]

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (elbow) is scheduled to face live pitching in camp on [...]

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (elbow) threw across the diamond for the first time on Monday since he had surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow. Bregman is also fielding ground balls, hitting and throwing past 90 feet, so he should be just fine for Opening Day. The soon-to-be 25-year-old hit .286/.394/.532 with 31 home runs, 105 runs, 103 RBI and 10 stolen bases in a breakout 2018 season. He'll come off the board in the late-first, early-second round of fantasy drafts.

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (elbow) is progressing from arthroscopic surgery he had a month ago to remove bone chips. He has been hitting in the cage and fielding ground balls at third base and on Saturday he progressed to throwing past 90 feet. Bregman estimated he was throwing at 90 to 95 percent intensity, too. He broke out in 2018 and finished fifth in the American League MVP voting and is expected to be ready to play in spring training games in early March. Bregman is one of [...]

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) and third baseman Alex Bregman (elbow) will be brought along slowly this spring as a precaution, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Altuve underwent surgery on Oct. 19 to fix a patella avulsion fracture, while Bregman had surgery Jan. 11 to remove bone chips in his elbow. Both players have reported to camp and are working out. Barring setbacks, they should both be fine for Opening Day. Bregman is younger and has more upside, but both are top-20 fa[...]

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 200CURRENT ADP: ~215 overallANALYSIS: There is a multitude of reasons to like what Lourdes Gurriel has to offer at his currently very low draft price. The 25-year-old shortstop from Cuba is entering just his second MLB season after spending 2017 and about half of 2018 accelerating through Torontos minor league system. He definitely impressed in his brief taste of the big leagues, hitting .281/.309/.446 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI, 30 runs scored, and one steal acros[...]

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, so Im here to carry on RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points leaguesand head-to-head (H2H) formats with the stars of the infield, the shortstops. The position is star-studded, and in roto leagues I think I'd be comfortable with any of the top 20 names on this list. Unfortunately, the position gets pretty scarce in points leagues due to the majority's lack of power and walks. In points leagues [...]

The hot corner is stacked like never before, especially with the anticipated arrival of mega-prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Waiting on a third baseman won't hurt given the relative depth of the position. [...]
