Minnesota Twins Recall Samuel Deduno, Option Oswaldo Arcia
The Minnesota Twins recalled right-handed starter Samuel Deduno on Friday and will get the start Friday against the Detroit Tigers. To make room on the active roster, the Twins have decided to option outfielder Oswaldo Arcia to their Triple-A Rochester minor league affiliate. Deduno has been solid, but nothing spectacular in the minors this year so don’t expect him to set anything...
Chicago White Sox Activate LHP John Danks
The Chicago White Sox activated left-handed starter John Danks from the 15-day disabled list on Friday and got the start against the Miami Marlins.
His rehab went fine, posting an earned run average in the low-3′s, but he doesn’t have his old command back yet. It should take a few games before he gets back into the groove.

Colorado Rockies Activate OF Michael Cuddyer
The Colorado Rockies have activated outfielder Michael Cuddyer from the 15-day disabled list on Friday. Recovering from an inflamed cervical disk for almost three weeks, he has been cleared to get the green light. He should rejoin the lineup without missing much of a beat.

Cincinnati Reds Activate Manny Parra, Disable Sean Marshall
The Cincinnati Reds have activated left-handed reliever Manny Parra, who was suffering from a pectoral injury since late April, from the 15-day disabled list on Friday. Making room for Parra on the active roster, Cincinnati placed left-handed reliever Sean Marshall on the disabled list due to a left shoulder sprain. Marshall most likely will be out for longer than the standard...
Red Sox Disable Shane Victorino, Will Middlebrooks, Other Notes
The Boston Red Sox had an extremely busy day Friday, as they overhauled more than 10% of their active roster. To begin with, Boston placed third baseman Will Middlebrooks and outfielder Shane Victorino on the disabled list. Middlebrooks joined the list due to lower back spasms which never is a very easy thing to predict as far as time missed. This very well could turn into a bothersome...
Baltimore Orioles Release LHP Zach Braddock
The Baltimore Orioles released left-handed reliever Zach Braddock Friday. He was assigned to their Triple-A Norfolk minor league affiliate after signing a contract this past winter. He hasn’t pitched in a game since last July after undergoing shoulder surgery. He is only 25-years-old so it is probable that he will end up somewhere. But then again there are no guarantees.

John LackeySource: Jared Wickerham/Getty Images North America
With every team playing seven games this week, we have a full complement of 60 two-start pitchers, although we do not know who the Tuesday/Sunday starters for San Francisco and San Diego are just yet. Below I have broken this week’s two starters into four categories: must start in all leagues, must start in 14-team mixed...
Stacking the Odds: Week 9 Two-Start Pitchers
With all but three teams playing seven games this week. The schedule is packed with 2-start pitchers. In previous weeks, the two-start streaming strategy was meant to give your team a competitive edge over your competition. This week, with many studs having two-start weeks, it is absolutely necessary to even have a chance to keep up. As always I will only suggest players who are...

Daily FanDuel Picks: May 25, 2013
Happy Memorial Day weekend! Yesterday snapped my two-game winning streak as I opted for the wrong high-priced starting pitcher — Anibal Sanchez‘s 25 points crushed Jordan Zimmermann‘s 10 despite Zimmermann picking up his eighth win of the year. Today will be a semi-condensed version of my daily picks due to some time constraints, but I did want to get them out regardless.Instead...
2013 Fantasy Baseball: The Week 9 Closer Report
Before we get to the closer report, I want to throw a little plug in for the my FantasyFix podcast debut. You can catch me and Brett Talley talking baseball here. Enough shameless self-promotion. Did you pick up a save in the Marlins bullpen this week? It sounds like just about anyone who can throw a ball from a mound has a shot there. And just as I thought I was going to write 1000...
Foul Paul! Time For Some Reader Questions
@DSveum asks: Hey Paul, big fan. Name a pitcher who could be valuable for the rest of the season who wasn’t drafted in many leagues.Excellent question. Matt Garza is fresh off the DL and is a top 40 pitcher when he is healthy. He could gain even more value if (when) he is traded to a contender. Believe it or not, for his career Matt Garza has NEVER had an ERA above 3.95 in a full...

Jeff Samardzija is Just Getting Started
After an inconsistent career in the bullpen, Jeff Samardzija has put his career on track as the front man of the Cubs rotation and it does not appear that he is going anywhere. In fact, it looks like we are only beginning to see the abilities that Samardzija has and we are just seeing how good he can eventually be.

Start/Sit: Friday’s (5/24) Probable Starters

Remember, these recommendations are for 10-12 team mixed leagues and bold=start.Friday’s Probable StartersChris Tillman, BAL @ Sean Nolin, TOR — It’s a bit risky, but if you’re in need of some strikeouts then Tillman could be a good option.Samuel Deduno...
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: Shortstops
There can be no more glamour position than shortstop. Players that grow up playing outside the United State usually start off playing shortstop. In Little League, the best athletes are normally shortstops or pitchers (or both). Scouting Directors looking for infielders usually start by scouting and drafting shortstops. The rationale is that if you can handle shortstop you can probably...
