Boston Red Sox utility man Steve Pearce finished 3-for-5, with a home run and three runs batted in during an 8-2 win over Toronto Thursday. The long ball was his first of the season and his three RBI give him just eight in 24 games played. Pearce now has a hit in four straight games that he has appeared in. If he can continue to trend upward at the plate, he may see more consistent playing time. However, a .180 expected batting average has some serious work ahead of it before Pearce becomes fa[...]

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D Martinez will get Monday off, against the Toronto Blue Jays. In his place, Steve Pearce will DH and bat seventh against right-hander Edwin Jackson. Pearce simply hasn't been good in 72 plate appearances this year, slashing just .121/.183/.152 with two doubles and four runs batted in, leaving him off any DFS radar.

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player wont kill a season, but why accept losing when you can stream?Streaming can be a risky business. If you do it right and check the necessary boxes, you can win the week. This column will d[...]

The Boston Red Sox activated first baseman Steve Pearce (calf) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and optioned first baseman Sam Travis to Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move. Pearce, last year's unlikely [...]
