Fantasy Hitters News Today

A week from today marks the end of the regular season, so that makes this the last Twins Fantasy Fix of the year. It’s been a fun ride, and to wrap things up, I want to give out a few awards. Before the season began, I made my pick in four different areas: offensive and pitching MVPs, sleeper and...

Stories of the demise of Minnesota’s farm system were perhaps exaggerated. The Twins did notably move a handful of good prospects in the past few years to acquire the likes of Sonny Gray, Tyler Mahle and Jorge Lopez, with the last two deals of course not looking so great at the moment. With the e...

The Twins are 6-3 in September, and the offense has been a big reason why. Minnesota is averaging 6.8 runs per game this month, which included a 20-run outburst against Cleveland. There are a few guys fantasy players should focus on while the offense is hot. Carlos Correa (more on him below) is f...

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Byron Buxton remains out with some injury questions, and it’s unclear if or when he’ll be able to return. In his second rehab game for the Saints on Friday, Buxton left early with soreness in the patella tendon of his right knee. The team is considering him “d...

Let the kids have some fun! That’s been the Twins’ motto lately, as the team has been getting big contributions from young players as they head into the home stretch. Here are a few highlights from guys who are 25 years old or younger:Edouard Julien (80 games): .286 batting average, .378 on-base ...

I could have gone a few different ways with this week’s column, but let’s be real – Pablo Lopez had to be the focus. He’s on an amazing run right now (more on that below) and could end up winning the championship for his managers, especially considering his relatively modest ADP. Simply put, he’s...

The Twins have been inconsistent on offense all season, and part of the culprit lately has been injuries, as all of Byron Buxton, Royce Lewis and Alex Kirilloff are out (not to mention Joe Ryan on the mound). Lewis appears to be the closest to returning (more on that below), and as a result, I’m ...

I really wanted to believe in Carlos Correa, fantasy star. I wrote about staying patient in June, then made the case for him last month when he moved into the leadoff spot. However, as Nick Nelson so succinctly wrote about earlier this week, it may be time to give up on the breakout. This might a...

What happened to the Twins’ pitching? A few bad starts (and a rough Jhoan Duran relief appearance) has led to a string of disappointing losses to end the week. Workload issues could be at play. Joe Ryan (more on him below) is now at 122 innings, which is getting closer to his career high of 147 s...

It’s the point of the fantasy season when a lot of fantasy managers really need to dig deep to separate themselves in their leagues. Whether you have a player who’s underperforming or are dealing with a ton of injuries, finding under-the-radar options is essential to success. Thankfully, there is...
