The six players placed on the revocable trade waiver were Castillo, Ramirez, Jackie Bradley Jr., Brock Holt, Craig Breslow and Justin Masterson. None of the players have cleared waivers yet despite being placed on the waiver on Thursday. It's common for veterans to be placed on there because if they clear, they can be traded for what is usually a low price.

Time to recap Week 6 of the fantasy season, or maybe we should just label it “Bryce Harper’s Week of Reckoning.”   MLB & Fantasy Baseball Week 6 Player Recap Bryce Harper (OF, WSH) absolutely put on a clinic last week. Twelve hits, three home runs, nine RBI, ten runs, nine walks and just one strikeout. I said a few weeks ago that this was the year Harper finally broke out and that has become blatantly obvious after last week. Justin Masterson (SP, BOS) continued his season[...]Keep on reading: Roto Never Sleeps: Week 6 MLB Recap Featuring Harper, Gomez, Cano, Miller, Strasburg and More

Like it or not, being able to properly deal with injuries is one of the main separators between casual fantasy players and league champions. Below you will fi[...]Keep on reading: MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Puig, Myers, Segura, Reyes, Jansen, Price, More

Red Sox Place Masterson On DL With 'Arm Fatigure' rotoballer.com Thu 5/14/15 9:13 AM

This article references A, Justin Masterson, SP, Steven Wright and more! Justin Masterson has been placed on the 15-day DL with what Boston Red Sox manager, John Farrell, said was “arm fatigue,” according to the Boston Globe. It has been a poor 2015 for the 30-year-old, who has a 6.37 ERA in 7 starts. Masterson couldn’t get out of the third inning during his start on Tuesday, allowing six runs for the loss. There’s a chance this really could be an attempt to give the right-hander rest, rather than an excuse to let an undisclosed injury heal. In seven [...]Keep on reading: Red Sox Place Masterson On DL With ‘Arm Fatigure’

A lot can happen in the span of a week. A team can turn a couple of wins into an 11 game winning streak. Several teams can throw a few pitches and start a new rivalry for the season. The way the season is shaping up, it looks like the NL East could be one of the most interesting divisions in baseball after appearing in the offseason to only have one or two teams that could contend. With the Mets rattling off 11 straight wins, the Nationals have to at least be aware of the fact that the divis[...]Keep on reading: MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week Three)

Congratulations to Jordan Spieth for winning the 2015 season. Spieth went out and dominated from the first tee box on Thursday until the 18th hole on Sunday. He won with the grace and humility of a season veteran, but showed exuberance and youthfulness throughout the tournament. At 21 years old, the sky is the limit for the Texas native. In the baseball world, the Detroit Tigers seem to be channeling their inner Spieth and are attempting to dominate the competition. After six games, the Tiger[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 2 (Part 1)

I’m obsessed with Chuck Shaw wine from Trader Joe's. It’s a $3 bottle of hooch that smells like paint thinner mixed with alcohol. It stings the nostrils. But after a glass or two, it’s the best damn bottle of wine you can get for under $5. I happened to be drinking some of this wine when I discovered my new FBB obsession, the Regressed Probabilistic Model (RPM.) I like it so much, I might get it tattooed on my lower back. From the genius minds at baseball prospectus, they have create[...]Keep on reading: Pitch Framing Metrics: Impact On Fantasy Baseball Pitchers
