Among the three hottest fantasy adds this week are Danny Santana, Josh Harrison and Brock Holt Before their current hot streaks, none of the trio has had a stretch of Major League success, and each has an unimpressive minor league resume. That in mind, they

Is Ryan Howard back? Ryan Howard was never all that great of player, from a sabermetric standpoint. But there was a time not so long ago that he was a five category fantasy beast, averaging .274 with 44 homers, 96 runs and 133 RBIs a
The injury du jour of baseball’s young seasons has been been of the thumb variety. Ryan Braun‘s numb thumb hasn’t been much of a problem, Josh Hamilton‘s ligament torn digit will keep out up to two months, and Yasiel Puig‘s ligament strained thumb had him
