The Pirates' Real Ace Chris Archer might have once been an ace and Trevor Williams certainly had a monster second half in 2018, but the real ace on the Pirates staff is SP Jameson Taillon. Taillon, who is slated to...

Entering the 2018 campaign, Cubs C Willson Contreras was widely regarded as a top-3 fantasy option at the position. After all, the then-25 year-old was coming off a strong 2017 season in which he batted .276 with 21 homers and...

Jonathan Schoop (2B-MIL) wasn't in the Brewers starting line-up for the second straight game as Milwaukee wrapped up a key series with the Cardinals on Sunday. Supposedly a big deadline acquisition by the contending Brewers, Schoop has been absolutely awful...

Sean Newcomb (SP-ATL) endured a rough outing against the Brewers on Sunday, lasting just four innings in which he coughed up five earned runs on a dozen hits and two walks while whiffing just two. After struggling in July prior...

Joey Gallo(OF-TEX) had a very Joey Gallo day, going 1-5 with a 3-run homer, a walk, and a strikeout (just one!) against the Astros on Saturday. So much for Gallo reducing the strikeouts, which a topic of discussion early in...
