- Huston Street earned his 10th save of the year Saturday as the Padres beat the Nationals 2-1.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: He struck out a batter but walked two in the scoreless frame. Street was one day removed from being the losing pitcher after giving up a game-winning home run to Chad Tracy. Street is 0-3, going 10-for-11 in save conversions and posting a 4.42 ERA and 1.31 WHIP.
Tue, May 14
- Huston Street earned his ninth save of the year Tuesday as the Padres beat the Orioles 3-2.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The Padres were trailing 2-1 heading into the top of the ninth inning but managed a rare two-run rally against Orioles closer Jim Johnson. Street then shut the O's down in the bottom of the ninth. He owns a weak 4.60 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 15 2/3 innings this season but still carries very good job security.

- Troy Tulowitzki went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI as the Rockies topped the Giants 10-2 on Saturday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Tulo has hit safely in each of his last five games. In that stretch, he's 11-for-23 (.478) with three doubles, four RBI and five runs scored. As always, health is the only thing that threatens his elite fantasy status.
Wed, May 15
- Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for-5 with two doubles as the Rockies defeated the Cubs on Tuesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Tulo doubled twice and scored two runs on the night. The shortstop is now hitting .324 with 32 RBI, and he's unquestionably the best fantasy shortstop going these days. At this point, health will be the only thing that keeps him from finishing the season that way as well.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Eric Stults held the Nationals to one run over eight innings to pick up a win Saturday and move to 4-3 on the season.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Stults has been great over his last four starts, lowering his ERA from 5.67 to 4.05. On Saturday, he struck out five, walked two and scattered four hits. Stults gets the Diamondbacks on Friday night.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Brandon Moss went 1-for-3 with a walk and a triple in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Royals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: He also collected an RBI. Moss has just one multi-hit game since April 29. After a nice start to the year, Moss has lost his swing in May.
Tue, May 14
- Brandon Moss went 1-for-3 with a walk and a home run in Monday's 5-1 victory over the Rangers.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: And boy did he need it. Moss went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Mariners, continuing a cold month. He entered the game with a .156 average and one homer in May. Moss had a nice start to the season, but has seen his slash line fall to .260/.355/.447 over 141 plate appearances.

- Yonder Alonso went 2-for-3 with a homer Saturday in the Padres' 2-1 win over the Padres.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It was his first homer since May 3 and his fifth overall. In 2012, he didn't hit his first bomb until May 11 and his second until June 13, finishing with nine. He'll easily pass that number this year.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Jordan Zimmermann took a tough-luck loss Saturday, giving up two runs -- one earned -- over eight innings against the Padres.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Zimmermann was as good as anticipated in PETCO, striking out six, walking none and scattering seven hits. One of the most underrated pitchers in the majors, Zimmermann is 7-2 with a 1.62 ERA and 45/9 K/BB rate in nine starts over 66 2/3 innings.
Tue, May 14
- Jordan Zimmermann spun 7 2/3 innings of two-run ball in the Nationals' victory over the Dodgers on Monday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: He gave up nine hits but no walks, striking out five. A second-round pick of the Nats in 2007, Zimmerman owns a sparkling 7-1 record and 1.69 ERA. The must-start mixed leaguer will put both on the line Saturday in San Diego. Although a level of regression is certain going forward, we like his chances to continue dominating this weekend.
Mon, May 13
- Jordan Zimmermann told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that he's not engaged in long-term talks with the Nationals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: "As far as I know there's nothing going on," the 26-year-old right-hander said Monday. Zimmermann, a second-round pick of the Nats in 2007, boasts an exceptional 1.59 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 34/9 K/BB ratio in 51 innings (seven starts) this season. He is arbitration-eligible in 2014 and 2015, so there's no real rush from either side.

- Tyler Chatwood enjoyed a successful return to the majors Saturday night, holding the Giants to one run over 5 1/3 innings.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Chatwood was making a spot start that allowed Colorado to give Juan Nicasio an extra day of rest. In his first start since April 29, Chatwood struck out four, walked four and gave up seven hits. Chatwood has a 2.55 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 12 strikeouts over three starts in the majors. He may just have forced his way into another turn in Colorado's rotation.
Sat, May 18Recent News
- Rockies recalled RHP Tyler Chatwood from Triple-A Colorado Springs.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Chatwood will make a spot start on Saturday night against the Giants. He has posted decent numbers this year at the Triple-A level but is not a great fantasy bet.
Fri, May 17
- Tyler Chatwood will be recalled from Triple-A Colorado to start against the Giants on Saturday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Originally, Chatwood was expected to be recalled to start on Sunday in place of the injured Jeff Francis. Instead, the Rockies have opted to give Juan Nicasio an extra day of rest and use Chatwood on Saturday. Chatwood has fared decently in his first two starts with the Rockies this season, and has posted a 3.14 ERA and 29/5 K/BB ratio over 28 2/3 innings at Triple-A. He could be worth a look in deeper mixed leagues.

- Tyler Chatwood is expected to be recalled to start Sunday against the Giants in place of the injured Jeff Francis (groin).(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Chatwood tossed six shutout innings in his second start with the Rockies late last month, so it's not a surprise that he's getting the call. He's also had a great year at Triple-A Colorado Springs, posting a 3.14 ERA and 29/5 K/BB ratio over 28 2/3 innings. The righty could stick around for at least a couple starts.

- Dexter Fowler had a monster night in Saturday's 10-2 romp over the Giants, going 3-for-5 with a double, a steal, two RBI and three runs scored.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Fowler began May in a 5-of-39 funk, failing to steal a base or hit a home run. In his last three games, he's 6-for-15 with two steals, an extra-base hit and five runs. Right hip flexor soreness hobbled Fowler earlier this month. If Saturday's speed is any indication, he's feeling a lot better.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Grant Balfour converted his eighth save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday's win over the Royals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Balfour walked a batter but was otherwise unburdened. He entered this weekend with six saves but has picked up a pair in consecutive 2-1 wins against the Royals. The typically reliable Balfour is eight-for-eight in save conversions and holds a 1.56 ERA and 1.21 WHIP.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Matt Carpenter has hit safely in all but two May games.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The young infielder is third in the NL with 33 runs scored. Carpenter's slash line of .263/.333/.442 in April was solid, but he's really turned up the heat in May, batting .375/.470/.482. If Carpenter can convert some of his doubles (14) into home runs (three), he'll eradicate a fantasy weakness to this point. Despite his hot stick, Carpenter has driven in only 14 runs. He's not a threat to run, either.

- Everth Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and an RBI in Saturday's win against the Nationals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Cabrera has now stolen a base in four consecutive games, bumping him to the National League leader with 15. The shortstop will never post a good batting average, but he's getting on base more and running as effectively as ever. The 26-year-old shortstop batted .246/.324/.324 with a league-leading 44 stolen bases last season and is a decent bet to improve upon all numbers in 2013.
Fri, May 17
- Everth Cabrera went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Thursday's defeat at the hands of Washington.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Cabrera's 13 steals rank second in the National League. A better real-life than fantasy player, Cabrera's value comes in the form of his legs (steals and runs) and eyes (walks). He looks poised to have a career year.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Ervin Santana notched another quality start on Saturday but took the loss in Kansas City's 2-1 setback in Oakland.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Santana spun seven innings of two-run ball, striking out five and allowing four hits and three walks. He didn't surrender a home run, which has been perhaps the biggest reason he's turned around his career in Kansas City. After leading the league in long-balls allowed in 2012 with 39, Santana has given up just six thus far; and three of those were in his season debut. The resurgent right-hander is 3-2 with a 2.77 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over eight starts.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Tim Lincecum's trip to Coors Field went sour Saturday night, as he allowed six runs on seven hits over five innings in a 10-2 loss.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Lincecum struck out four, walked two and surrendered a two-run homer to Wilin Rosario. The veteran has been all over the place this season, making him impossible to trust in fantasy. He's allowed no runs in three of his nine starts, but four or more in five of them. The inconsistency bears out in his numbers: Lincecum is 3-3 with a 4.70 ERA and 1.42 WHIP.
Sun, May 19Recent News
- Tommy Milone earned his first win since April 15 by pinning the Royals to one run over six innings Saturday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: He scattered five hits, striking out four and walking three. Milone won his first three starts and lost his next five. It wasn't all his fault -- Oakland's offense failed to show up for any of those games, averaging a little over a run per nine innings. Milone carries a 3.47 ERA and 1.19 WHIP into a tasty matchup against the Astros next week.

- Robinson Cano launched a pair of two-run homers in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It was the 12th multi-homer game of his career and his second of the season. The 30-year-old is now tied for the American League lead with 12 homers. He's the cream of the crop among fantasy second baseman and could get even better as the Yankees' lineup gets healthier.
Thu, May 16
- Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said Thursday that the club continues to keep in touch with Robinson Cano's representatives.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Cano left Scott Boras for Jay-Z's Roc Nation last month, with Brodie Van Wagenen from CAA handling contract negotiations. "We've had several conversations with Brodie, just as we did with Scott and a lot of it is procedural," said Steinbrenner. "But we're going to continue in the weeks to come to work through things and try to come to an agreement." Cano is due to become a free agent after the season and could command a deal approaching $200 million. Still, Steinbrenner is optimistic that they'll be able to keep him in pinstripes for life.
