This is the time of year to reassess your fantasy team and try to push all in or try to make a big move to fix the deficiencies on your team. Take a look at the standings and try to figure out where you can gain points and where it would be tougher to gain points.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (ankle) was sent to the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. It was originally stated that he was dealing with a right calf strain.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is set to undergo an MRI on his right calf on Wednesday morning. The 32-year-old exited Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles due to right calf tightness. The results of the MRI will help give us an indication of how much time Stanton could miss - if any. The veteran has launched 11 home runs over 40 games so far this year while slashing .285/.339/.523. Joey Gallo, who is currently on the COVID-19 injured list, could stand to see ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers don't need to be concerned as this appears to be a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus right-hander Jordan Lyles. There isn't much streaming appeal here with Gonzalez.

The veteran hasn't provided quite as much power as fantasy managers were hoping for to this point, slashing .259/.291/.463 with 22 RBI in his first 117 plate appearances. That being said, he hasn't done poorly and benefits from hitting in a ...
