Points Leagues (H2H) Waiver Wire Adds and Streamers - Week 16 rotoballer.com Sun 7/15/18 3:00 AM

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, whereas AVG and ERA are not important, so consider that as well. Some players will be suggested as streamers (while they are hot), or as rest-of-season adds ([...]

Marcus Stroman Rebounds Against Atlanta rotoballer.com Wed 7/11/18 5:41 AM

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman was rocked by one of MLB's worst offenses on July 4, the New York Mets, but rebounded against one of baseball's best, the Atlanta Braves, on Tuesday. Go figure. Stroman earned the win by pitching 6 2/3 innings, allowing only one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out five. Talk about not seeing this one coming. Stroman has all the makings of a pitcher that will be consistently inconsistent; he may be worth an add in deeper forma[...]

Marcus Stroman Gets Roughed Up By Mets rotoballer.com Thu 7/5/18 7:44 AM

Since returning from the disabled list, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman found success in two stellar outings against the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers. In perhaps the juiciest matchup of the three against the lowly New York Mets, however, Stroman was unfortunately lit up. In a 6-3 loss to the Amazins' on [...]

Marcus Stroman Pitches Well In Return rotoballer.com Sun 6/24/18 7:23 AM

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman had been out since May 8 due to right shoulder inflammation, but made a triumphant return against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. Stroman had a short outing, as expected, but pitched a scoreless five innings with six hits, five strikeouts, and a walk. You can't ask for much more than that after the long layoff. There's no doubt Stroman makes for an intriguing fantasy add with the success he's had in the past, but we would like to see him do [...]

Marcus Stroman Expected To Return This Weekend Against Angels rotoballer.com Tue 6/19/18 5:52 AM

According to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet, that start will come this upcoming weekend against the Los Angeles Angels. Stroman was supposed to make his second rehab start on Monday with Double-A New Hampshire, but it was rained out and he instead threw a simulated game. As of now, we do not know what kind of restrictions Stroman [...]

Marcus Stroman Says Next Start Will Be With Toronto rotoballer.com Tue 6/19/18 5:33 AM

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman was supposed to have a rehab start with Double-A New Hampshire on Monday, but it was rained out. One would think Stroman would simply start the Fisher Cats' next game as he rehabs from right shoulder inflammation, but according to Stroman that will not be the case. Late Monday night, Stroman tweeted that his next start would be back with the Blue Jays. [...]

Marcus Stroman To Throw Simulated Game On Friday rotoballer.com Thu 6/7/18 12:31 PM

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a three-inning simulated game at extended spring training on Friday, the next step back in his rehab from a fatigued shoulder. If he escapes the simulated game unscathed, Stroman could presumably start a minor league rehab assignment a few days after that. Stroman has had a rough go of it in 2018, pitching to a 7.71 ERA in seven starts, but much of that can likely be attributed to his shoulder issue, which has pl[...]
