Shin-Soo Choo Hitless in Loss

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo went hitless across 4 at-bats against the Boston Red Sox, striking out twice. Despite the poor outing, the veteran is producing at a steady, albeit unexciting clip. His season line of .252/.338/.430 is right within his career standards, and he's connecting with hard contact at a better rate than in […]

Tony Barnette Throws Scoreless Inning in Relief

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Tony Barnette threw a clean inning out of the bullpen against the Boston Red Sox, lowering his season ERA to 2.57. In any other pitching staff, this would likely not be news. The Rangers are a little different, and the struggles of the bullpen as a whole mean that every good […]

Nomar Mazara Producing Better Against Lefties in 2018

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara came into the season with a pretty healthy platoon split. During the offseason, the hope among fantasy analysts was that the then 22-year-old would make gains against lefties, but that even as a platoon option would be valuable if deployed against righties exclusively. After 36 games, Mazara is hitting .293/.326/.512 […]

Ryan Rua Hits Second Home Run of 2018 in Loss

Texas Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua drew the start against Chris Sale and responded with his second home run of the season. The 28-year-old has not been particularly good in 2018, hitting just .203/.235/.344 with a below average .141 ISO and a ghastly 33.3% strikeout rate. The home run does more to hurt Sale owners that […]

Doug Fister Shelled in Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Doug Fister gave up 6 runs over 6.1 innings in a 6-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The veteran allowed 9 hits and 2 walks whiles striking out 5. The outing nearly doubles his total earned runs allowed on the season, and his ERA now stands at a less attractive […]

Delino DeShields Swipes 2 Bags in Loss

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields Jr. stole two bases in a 6-1 losing effort against the Boston Red Sox.

Jurickson Profar Heating Up at the Plate Despite Going Hitless Against Red Sox

Texas Rangers shortstop Jurickson Profar has been coming on a little stronger lately with his bat, despite an 0-4 performance against Rick Porcello and the Boston Red Sox. The game brought his season line to .233/.337/.369, which of course is nothing spectacular. But Profar has quietly been taking better and longer at-bats, making better contact, […]

Rangers Have No Plans to Promote Willie Calhoun

Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels confirmed what everyone suspected: that there are no plans to promote outfield prospect Willie Calhoun in the near future. At this point, the Rangers are clearly playing games with their top prospect's service time, but with the state of the rest of the roster, this comes as no surprise. […]

Jurickson Profar Gets More Run at Third in Order

Texas Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar is starting at shortstop and batting third in the order. The Rangers are actually running out the identical order from the day before, so it's clear that the team is comfortable putting the 25-year-old at the top of the order. Profar has been improving lately after returning from a concussion, […]

Franchy Cordero (OF, SD) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Last week, Franchy Cordero had the most Franchy Cordero-esque batting line possible. Three home runs, six runs batted in, a .227/.261/.636 line, a single walk, and a whopping nine strikeouts, good for a 39.1% K rate. If you're a Franchy owner, this is what you're […]

Jose Leclerc Has Yet to Give Up a Run

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jose Leclerc threw a clean sixth inning with two strikeouts against the Cleveland Indians. The 24-year-old has now thrown 7 2/3 innings with no runs surrendered on the young season. Aside from the perfect 0.00 ERA, Leclerc's WHIP sits at a sparkling 0.52. On top of that, the youngster has struck […]

Cole Hamels Posts Solid Five Innings in Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels put up a pretty good performance against the Cleveland Indians, going five innings with eight strikeouts while giving up four hits, three walks and two runs (one earned). While the outing won't win any awards, it's a solid appearance that gave his team a chance to win until reliever […]

Ronald Guzman K's Thrice in Loss

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman struck out in all three at-bats en route to a 7-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians. The rookie dropped his batting line to .227/.277/.431 on the season. Guzman's bat-to-ball skills have yet to translate to the bigs in a meaningful way, and unfortunately his lack of pop is still […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: From last Sunday to Wednesday, San Francisco Giants' outfielder Mac Williamson broke out, hitting .364 with two home runs and four runs batted in before crashing into the outfield wall and going onto the 7-day concussion list.

Derek Fisher (OF, HOU) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Astros outfield prospect Derek Fisher was not much of a fantasy target to open the 2018 season, but his profile has risen as the season has gone on.

Martin Perez to Return to the DL

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez is being placed on the disabled list and will have his non-throwing elbow examined. It's easy to shrug your shoulders at this news, especially since Perez has been among the worst starting pitchers in baseball over his five starts in 2018. Few fantasy owners will be affected by this […]

Happ in a 7-2 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays, The former A's prospect has gotten consistent run since being claimed off of waivers, logging 21 plate appearances over 6 games.

Robinson Chirinos K's Three Times in Loss

Starting catcher Robinson Chirinos had a forgettable day, striking out three times in three at-bats against the Blue Jays. The outing brought his season line to .178/.274/.452 with just 5 home runs and a staggering 32 strikeouts against just 73 at-bats.

Week 5 Outfield Waiver Wire Targets

The first month of the 2018 season is, functionally at least, in the books. It doesn't get easier from here Rotoballers. Even the April juggernaut is starting to show some cracks in their once seemingly impenetrable armor. Injuries have taken down some of baseball's best recently, and the hunt is on for players who will […]

Matt Moore Throws Inning of Relief in Loss

In a 7-2 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Texas Rangers deployed starting pitcher Matt Moore out of the bullpen for an inning of relief. Moore retired all three batters he faced, but this was a minor surprise. Up until now, the 28-year-old has been used exclusively in the starting rotation. This appearance casts […]

Mazara to Hit Cleanup Vs. Blue Jays; Gallo Fifth

The Texas Rangers are shuffling their regular lineup around a bit, slotting Isiah Kiner-Falefa sixth, Jurickson Profar third, Joey Gallo fifth, and Nomar Mazara fourth. The outfielder has yet to produce much power on the season, with just three home runs and .120 ISO on the season thus far. However, much of that could be […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa to Start at Third; Drew Robinson In at Second

With Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) hitting the disabled list officially, the Rangers will use infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the hot corner against the A's in his absence.

David Dahl (OF, COL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl has been recalled to get run in left field in Colorado.

Jackie Bradley Jr. (OF, BOS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Boston's jack-of-all-trades outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. has had a sub par 2018 thus far, but over the last week has shown signs of putting it all together.

Delino DeShields Will Stay In Leadoff Role

Texas Rangers center fielder Delino DeShields will continue to get run at the top of the order after returning to the lineup. The 25-year-old has only appeared in four games on the season thanks to injury, but the Rangers have a lot of faith that his speed and contact skills will make him an ideal place […]

Tony Barnette May Return Friday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Tony Barnette threw live batting practice on Tuesday and assuming he has no setbacks, he could be activated from the disabled list as soon as Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
