Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. It might have seemed an unlikely week for prospect promotions, but there were a slew of players called up within the past couple days. Kyle Tucker, Nick Kingham, Jalen Beeks, Enyel De Los Santos, Greg Allen, Steven Duggar, Corbin Burnes and Sandy A[...]

The trade market is about to go into a frenzy, both in reality and fantasy. The All-Star break offers a brief respite from the everday grind of the Major League schedule, but it is the perfect opportunity for fantasy owners to evaluate their rosters before making a final push for a championship run. Scouting players who may be undervalued and re-assessing players who may be overvalued is a weekly exercise that you should constantly pursue as a dedicated fantasy baseball manager. Fortunately, [...]

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 15, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps off the page at me as a less than seven game player, I may make an exception, but otherwise the advantage in number of games dictates my choices. Streaming can be a valuable tool, by allowing you to feast on[...]

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter/outfielder Mark Trumbo went 2-for-3 with a single, a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies. Trumbo's 11th HR came off of a Zach Eflin second-inning fastball, which he mashed into the center field seats. He has been a consistent fantasy option this season, posting a .267/.325/.497 slash line with 26 RBI in 51 games. At just 34 percent ownership, he is worth a look in deep points leagues for his power.

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter/outfielder Mark Trumbo played a big role in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Angels, going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs. Trumbo hit an opposite-field blast in the fourth inning and then launched a ball into the left-field seats in the fifth. He now has 10 HR and 25 RBI to go with a .261 batting average in 50 games. The 32-year-old has shown a solid power tool in previous seasons and seems to be finding his power stroke again, so he could be a useful fantasy asset[...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Power-hitting outfielder Mark Trumbo seems to be regaining his form, and doing so in a hurry.  For the season, Trumbo is hitting .268/.326/.476 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, and a .208 ISO - which are acceptable numbers considering he missed a good chunk of time to start the year.  During the last seven games, however, he has been absolutely crushing the ball.  Over that stretch, he's hitting .318/.375/.864 with fou[...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo does not have a very attractive profile, as most owners do not like guys who has his entire game predicated on smacking dingers and do not walk enough. However, a couple years ago, Trumbo responded to naysayers with his best season as a pro, a 47 homer .256/.316/.533 campaign in 2016. That being said, this is a rollercoaster that many do not choose to ride. Whatever his issue[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo had a big day at the plate on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a grand slam, a walk, and a strikeout. Trumbo got things going for the Orioles, lining a first-inning Julio Teheran fastball over the center-field wall. He has been heating up lately, batting .346 with four HR and nine RBI in his last seven games. He is worth a look in deep leagues given his hot streak.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo provided two of the Orioles three runs in [...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a walk, and a strikeout in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox. The double ended a four-game hitless streak for Trumbo, who has been ice cold in June, hitting just .135 with two extra-base hits in 37 at-bats. He is now hitting .254 on the season with three home runs and eight doubles in 33 games. [...]
