This article references A, C, Clayton Kershaw, Mike Leake, OF, SP, SS, TE, Zack Greinke and more! Mike Leake threw a successful bullpen session on Wednesday, which means he could make his return to the San Francisco Giants rotation on Sunday, according to CSN Bay Area. Leake, 27, has only had one start since he was traded to the Giants by the Cincinnati Reds. After a where he allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings pitched, the right-hander was placed on the 15-day DL with a hamstring injury. It’s been a solid season for the six-year veteran. Leake was 9-5 with a 3.56 ERA while pitching in[...]Keep on reading: Leake (Hamstring) Likely Back Sunday Vs. Pirates

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: But Max, Mike Leake is owned in all my leagues! Yes, that's a real possibility with his 61% ownership, but it was just 39% last week (22% jump!) I feel the need to include him here after the CIN-SFG trade that took Leake to the west coast. Leake had an atrocious May (6.75 ERA) that led to a number of fantasy owners jumping off the tracks, but it's time we hop back on this gravy train. Leake has been spectacu[...]Keep on reading: Mike Leake (SF, SP) – Waiver Wire Analysis

This is the special trade deadline edition of a newly formatted Minor League Spotlight. In this new version of the articles, I will give three prospect profiles and where their potential fantasy value is for fantasy owners. I am also going to divide up the articles by pitchers and hitters so I can go more in depth with each prospect. Since the trade deadline has just recently passed, I thought that it would be best to cover some of the pitching prospects dealt.

This article references A, C, Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, OF, SP, SS, TE and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Following the trade of Johnny Cueto, the only Reds starting pitcher likely to still be dealt is Mike Leake. Leake has been solid on the season throwing 128.2 IP with a 3.78 ERA, 3.94 FIP, 6.09 K/9, 2.10 BB/9, and 0.97 HR/9. His numbers are virtually identical to all of his numbers from his last season, which indicates that this is about as good as he is likely to get in Cincinnati. But Leake does have [...]Keep on reading: Mike Leake (SP, CIN) – Waiver Wire Pickups

This article references A, C, David Price, Mike Leake, OF, SP, SS, TE and more! The Detroit Tigers have Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mike Leake on their radar as the MLB Trade Deadline approaches soon. The Tigers are three games below .500 and 4 1/2 games out of the second American League Wild Card spot. They need help in the pitching area next to David Price, which Leake would help with. If Detroit goes through with a possible trade with the Reds, it will show that the team will be a buyer rather than a seller at the deadline. The #Tigers have #Reds starter Mike Leake on[...]Keep on reading: Tigers Eyeing Mike Leake At The Deadline
