Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski left Sunday's game after diving for a ball in right field. He appeared to be favoring his left wrist, and the team announced he'll undergo an MRI. Jankowski batted leadoff in this game, flying out in his only at-bat. In a crowded outfield this year in San Diego, it will take an injury or two for the 27-year-old to make an impact for fantasy purposes. He's been a valuable asset in the stolen base category swiping 24 a season ago, but he should be left off draft [...]

The biggest move of the offseason (so far) came earlier this week when the Padres signed Manny Machado to a $300-million-dollar mega-deal. Yes, it was predictable, and yes, were all sick of the big market San Diego Padres flashing their money around while the poor Cubs scrounge for change between the couch cushions, but I digress towards fantasy baseball.The impact of a signing this large affects the entire team, and every fantasy-relevant position player will be affected either directly or indi[...]

Ken Rosenthal, followed by Jeff Passan, Joel Sherman and Jayson Stark,recently reported on negotiations between MLB and the Player's Association, especially regarding the rulebook. One of the most provocative pieces in the overarching story has been the possibility of the designated hitter coming to the National League as soon as this coming season. *cuesad tromboneRob Manfred squashed that idea, saying it won't happen until 2022 at the earliest when the CBA is negotiated, but this story is a re[...]

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, so Im here to continue RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points league and head-to-head (H2H) formats with the incredibly deep outfield position. There is a seemingly neverending stream of useful bats, but there are still clear chokepoints where the risk portfolio thickens. I'd suggest buying at least two anchors and then letting your speculative plays run.Our mixed-league points staff rankings c[...]

Outfield is a unique position in the fantasy world. The best of the best reside in the outfield, with our consensus top two picks and nine of the top 25 overall players making this list. On the other hand, it is by far the deepest and easiest to gain late-round value if you choose to wait. That's why it's so important to determine exactly who to target at what point in your draft, especially in leagues that require four or five OF slots.[...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: San Diego Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski is one of the more explosive waiver wire pickups. He is an incredibly streaky player, which is maddening for fantasy owners. Guys like Jankowski are like deep ball receivers in fantasy football. You never know when they are gonna hit, but you definitely want them around when they do. The 27-year-old has 20 steals in 312 plate appearances, which is pretty good. True to his rep[...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: After reaching base three times in four plate appearances on Saturday (single, double, walk), Hunter Renfroe's season line stands at .251/.317/.489. This represents a legitimate step forward across the board in his second full MLB season. The caveat, of course, is that he hasn't played every day thanks to a surplus of outfielders on the Padres' roster. That should be less of an issue going forward, particularly with Wi[...]
