Two months of the fantasy baseball season are already in the books, but there’s still plenty of time to make big moves in your fantasy baseball league. By the end of June, it’s important to be well positioned, so the next few weeks could be time to make some tough cuts if you’ve got players that are struggling.
The priority add for this week is Elly De La Cruz. Cruz is the kind of player that could make a big impact for your fantasy squad, and now is the time to get your bids in.
If you lost Cedric Mullins this week, there are two options here that are available on most waiver wires.

Billy Horschel had a no good, very bad day during Thursday’s opening round of the Memorial. He walked off the course after hitting the ball 84 times and finds himself in second to last place having only beaten Chad Ramey on day one, who posted an 88.
A PGA Tour player shooting anything in the 80s is always alarming, but what’s so eye-opening about Horschel’s 84 is that he’s the defending champion this week.

You can imagine the scene.
Or perhaps you’re already living this particular slice of modern Americana: A family crams into an SUV and barrels down the interstate, parents in front, a preteen athlete buckled up in back.

In this instance, though, no basketballs roll around in the trunk, no metal bats clang as the car rumbles down the highway. The DuBrys of Fenton, Mich.

The Red Sox host the Rays for a divisional showdown, and you guessed it — we are going over.

The prosperity and popularity of the NFL continues to surge, with record-setting media deals and skyrocketing franchise valuations. The question to be asked, and one asked for years, is this: Is there anything that can wobble the league off its seemingly rock-steady perch?
The most common answer to that question in recent years has been increasing concern about player safety and concussions, with some predicting the sport’s popularity would diminish due to its brutal nature. While that has certainly not happened, the NFL has taken note, as recently as last week.

Andre Ward’s professional boxing career unfolded unlike any other this century. As the last American man to win an Olympic gold medal (Athens 2004), he boxed professionally from ‘04 until ’17. He won the Super Six tournament that pitted the world’s best super middleweights against each other (’09-’11) in a format that has not since been replicated. He didn’t fight at all for almost two years (Nov. ’13 to June ’15), but the break—to wrest back control of his career—was part of what distinguished him.

Trying to pick the top 10 offensive linemen? Don’t rely on stats.
For this group, it’s all about film, consistency and accolades. For some, there have been Pro Bowls and All-Pro awards on an annual basis. For a few who missed our list, such as left tackles Andrew Thomas of the Giants and Rashawn Slater of the Chargers, it feels their inclusion is coming shortly.
For now, though, the top of the list is dominated by ageless veterans ticketed for Canton, while the back end is a good mix of young studs and top-tier performers in their primes.
Here’s our list, starting in Houston.
