We’ve moved up our Rotowire fantasy sports podcast for the week.

Good timing. There’s a lot to get to in the fantasy sports world with Jeff Erickson.

That record-setting Padres-Rockies series over the weekend was reason enough. Then there is the injury to Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard and the improvement of Blue Jays call-up Cavan Biggio.

The Yankees lineup has become a fascinating fantasy follow now that Edwin Encarnacion is in the Bronx. What does that mean for Aaron Hicks, Clint Frazier, Brett Gardner and Giancarlo Stanton?

Rotowire sees Gerrit Cole on the rise. Erickson tells you why. The Angels are a developing fantasy storyline. Mike Trout faced Nick Kingham. Guess how that went.

I didn’t know a bat could make a sound that loud.

In other sports, the Penguins are at the center of fantasy hockey speculation as people wait to see what Jim Rutherford does. And that Jacob Trouba deal was a doozy.

The NBA is undergoing seismic change for owners in that sport. Anthony Davis was traded. The Warriors are now decimated by injury. And the “Kawhi Watch” will be drama filled.

Plus, we wrap up how the U.S. Open shook out for the league on the links.
