Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 14 rotoballer.com Mon 7/6/15 7:50 AM
This article references A, Alejandro De Aza, Byron Buxton, C, Chris Coghlan, Chris Young, George Springer, Gerardo Parra, Giancarlo Stanton, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jorge Soler, Marlon Byrd, Matt Holliday, OF, RB, SP, SS, TE, WR and more! About a month ago, I was talking to another owner in my home league and mentioned that my team had been fairly fortunate on the injury front. Fast forward to last week: George Springer's broken wrist gave me a whopping eight players on the shelf, half of them outfielders. The others: Matt Holliday, Jorge Soler, and Byron Buxton. While I don't own Giancarlo Stanton, a lot of other people do, and his wrist injury has left a void on those rosters.
Are you one of those unfortunate souls? If so,[...]Keep on reading: Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 14
MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Springer, Gray, Posey, Cor... rotoballer.com Sat 7/4/15 6:05 AM
This article references A, Andrew Miller, Anthony Rendon, Buster Posey, C, David Wright, Devin Mesoraco, Dustin Pedroia, Freddie Freeman, George Springer, Giancarlo Stanton, Hisashi Iwakuma, Hunter Pence, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jorge Soler, Martin Perez, Matt Holliday, OF, Patrick Corbin, Sonny Gray, SP, SS, Wil Myers, Yordano Ventura and more! Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy player. They're the little “what if” clause hanging over every fantasy season, that thing you just can't ever really predict no matter how much pre-draft research you do. Like it or not, being able to properly deal with injuries is one of the main separators between casual fantasy players and league champions. Given the importance of this aspect of the game, I'll be devoting a [...]Keep on reading: MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Springer, Gray, Posey, Corbin, Soler
Matt Holliday (Quad) To Do Some Light Running: Possible Cardinals R... rotoballer.com Wed 7/1/15 9:45 PM
This article references A, C, Matt Holliday, OF, SP, SS and more! Matt Holliday is scheduled to do some light running this week while the outfielder slowly recovers from a quad injury, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The 35-year-old has been taking batting practice and will give his ailing quad a test with some jogging. Holliday suffered the quad injury in early June.
“See how it goes over the next week and gradually work in some running and build it up to full speed,” Holliday told the Post-Dispatch. “Everything else is going really well[...]Keep on reading: Matt Holliday (Quad) To Do Some Light Running: Possible Cardinals Return Before All-Star Break

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week 13) rotoballer.com Tue 6/30/15 6:00 AM
This article references 1B, 2B, 3B, A, Aaron Harang, Aaron Nola, Adam Duvall, Alex Meyer, Andrew Heaney, Brandon Nimmo, Brett Anderson, Brian Johnson, C, CC Sabathia, Christian Walker, Clay Buchholz, Clayton Kershaw, Cole Hamels, Corey Seager, Daniel Norris, Domingo Santana, Dylan Bundy, Eduardo Rodriguez, Henry Owens, Ivan Nova, Jameson Taillon, Jimmy Rollins, Johnny Cueto, Jose Berrios, Jose Peraza, Justin Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Marco Gonzales, Mark Appel, Masahiro Tanaka, Matt Holliday, Matt Olson, Michael Pineda, Miguel Sano, Mike Bolsinger, Mike Leake, OF, Robert Stephenson, San Diego Padres, SP, SS, Stephen Piscotty, Steven Matz, Zach Lee, Zack Greinke and more! Steven Matz was finally called up. It was a little bit earlier than I had expected, but he made his MLB debut last Sunday. He threw quite well, but really dazzled with the bat, going 3-3 and driving n four runs. Did I ever mention that he can hit? Probably not. Matz finished the day going 7.2 innings, striking out six, and surrendering only two earned runs (each on solo homers). Don’t expect him to go back to Triple-A at any point this season.

This article references A, Adam Eaton, Byron Buxton, C, Carlos Beltran, Eddie Rosario, Kevin Kiermaier, Matt Holliday, OF, Oswaldo Arcia, Randal Grichuk, SP, SS and more! The deeper we get into the season, the harder it becomes for a column of this nature to avoid getting repetitive. Guys who are playing well tend to be owned in the majority of leagues, for obvious reasons, but for one reason or another, certain players get ignored. Often it’s a lousy start that obscures their overall stat line, as is the case for the first two entries on this week’s list, both of whom we’ve discussed somewhat recently. Maybe they lack pedigree or track record, causing owne[...]Keep on reading: Five Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 13

Matt Holliday Placed on 15-Day DL (Strained Quad) rotoballer.com Wed 6/10/15 12:38 AM
This article references A, Adam Wainwright, Matt Adams, Matt Holliday, Randal Grichuk, SP and more! Matt Holliday was placed on the 15-day DL with a strained right quadriceps, according to Jim Hayes and Fox Sports.
The St. Louis Cardinals slugger suffered the injury in the outfield during Monday’s loss in Denver versus the Colorado Rockies. Holliday had to sprint to grab a fly ball in left and appeared to take a bad step before hitting the ground.
"It's something with the (right) quad," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told USA Today on Tuesday. "We don't know the extent right now. We'll[...]Keep on reading: Matt Holliday Placed on 15-Day DL (Strained Quad)
