Boston Red Sox outfielder Steve Pearce is back on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Pearce saw an uptick in action lately due to off days for other players, but he struggled in his three appearances. He was just 2-for-11 in that time span with no RBI. He had a scorching hot start with the Red Sox, but now he has been relegated to a bench bat that makes the occasional start. He can be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce is returning to the lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Pearce is batting third in the order, as he takes over for the injured Mitch Moreland. Pearce has been fantastic ever since he has come over to the Red Sox. He has a .307 average with six home runs and 15 RBI in 75 at-bats with the team. He has been deserving of more appearances but has fallen victim to the depth of the best team in the American League. It seems that the embattled Morelan[...]

Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Steve Pearce (back) was out of the starting lineup on Thursday due to a stiff back. That explains why Pearce didn't come in following Mitch Moreland's early exit due to a bruised knee. Pearce is expected to be fine and should be back in the lineup on Friday.

Pearce is hitting .353/.421/.647 with four home runs and 13 RBI against left-handed pitching this season. Borucki has pitched fairly well this season, but Pearce is still a solid target for DFS contests on Thursday.

Happy start of August, RotoBallers! I don't know about you, but it is getting real hot. Both outside and on the MLB trade wire. The trade deadline has come and gone and fantasy owners now need to manage their own trade deadlines as well. It was hard enough to keep up with trade talks and the rumor mill, but Rotoballer was here to wade through all the conjecture and give you real, actionable advice. We will continue our dive into the hottest and most interesting options largely available on wa[...]

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 ([...]

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce hit three homers in a 15-7 rout of the Yankees Thursday. He is the third Red Sox player in history to hit three homers in a game against the Yankees. Pearce is the 32nd player ever to hit three homers in a game. He finished the game 3-for-5 with six RBI and a walk. At 35 years old, Pearce had the game of his life. He is a platoon player and should only be rostered in deep AL-only leagues.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts and first baseman Steve Pearce are both back in the lineup on Thursday. Mitch Moreland and shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) are sitting. Brock Holt will play shortstop while J.D. Martinez serves as designated hitter. Newly acquired second baseman Ian Kinsler will bat fifth and cover second base. Blake Swihart will catch for Brian Johnson. The Red Sox will face a familiar foe in CC Sabathia, who Betts has hit well in his career (12-for-28).

Mitch Moreland who normally starts at first base will get the night off. Pearce will bat fifth and play first base against righty Dylan Bundy. Pearce is hitting .328/.392/.552 this season with six multi-hit games in his last 10 appearances. He needs to be owned in AL-only and deeper leagues. Pearce is worth a look in DFS against Bundy in Camden Yards.

Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Steve Pearce (shin) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Pearce is reportedly still sore after taking a pitch off his left shin during Thursday's contest. Mitch Moreland will start at first base and bat fifth against lefty Ryan Borucki on Friday. Pearce should only be owned in AL-only leagues right now. Moreland should be avoided in DFS contests on Friday.
