Kevin Pillar is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Pillar sat out on Monday to rest after he collected just one hit over his last three games. He'll play center field and bat fifth versus rookie lefty Josh Rogers. Pillar has not been too trustworthy […]

Nick Delmonico Moves Up in the Batting Order

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico has moved up to the two spot in the batting order for Tuesday's contest against the New York Yankees. Delmonico usually bats eighth or sometimes sixth, but it's quite surprising to see him batting second on Tuesday. He'll bat second and play left field versus righty Lance Lynn. Delmonico […]

Luke Voit Remains in the Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit will remain in the starting lineup for the fifth straight game on Tuesday. Voit has been on fire lately, recording eight hits over his last four games. He'll serve as the DH and bat fifth versus righty James Shields. DFS players may want to ride Voit's hot bat […]

Brett Gardner is Back in the Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Gardner sat out of Monday versus lefty Carlos Rodon. However, Gardner will lead off and play left field against righty James Shields on Tuesday. He's worth a look in DFS contests because he's leading off […]

Tyreek Hill Has Great Third Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was impressive during Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Hill finished with eight receptions and 88 yards, but did not score a touchdown. It looks like quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found his favorite target on the Chiefs roster. There was some worry that Hill wouldn't have the […]

Kareem Hunt Quiet in Saturday's Loss

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has not done much during three preseason games. Hunt was held to just seven yards on three carries during Saturday's loss to the Bears. The Chiefs are obviously not going to run Hunt hard and risk an injury right before the regular season. However, Spencer Ware is back […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well in Saturday's Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played well in Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Mahomes was 18-for-24 with 196 yards and one touchdown on Saturday. The reports out of Chiefs camp were that Mahomes has struggled with interceptions, but he seemed fine against Chicago. Mahomes did not throw any interceptions in the loss […]

George Springer is Back in the Lineup Monday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (quad) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's contest. Springer has not played a game in over a week due to soreness in his left quad. Springer will lead off and play center field versus lefty Brett Anderson. Springer has not been great this season, but is a fairly […]

Jay Bruce is Out of the Lineup on Monday

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Chicago Cubs. It's not surprising to see Bruce out of the lineup with lefty Jon Lester on the hill for the Cubs. Jose Bautista will bat sixth and play right field on Monday. Bautista has been […]

Albert Almora Jr. is Out on Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. Jason Heyward will slide over to center field and bat fifth, while Ben Zobrist plays right field and hits cleanup versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Heyward had a big game on Sunday, but has been […]

Cesar Hernandez is Batting Third on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez normally bats first in the Phillies batting order, but he will move down for Monday's contest. Roman Quinn will lead off and play center field against righty Stephen Strasburg. Hernandez moves down to the third spot in the order on Monday. Despite moving down in the order, Hernandez is […]

Roman Quinn Will Lead Off on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn will lead off and play center field versus righty Stephen Strasburg on Monday. Quinn is hitting .357/.379/.518 since being recalled by the Phillies last month. Odubel Herrera will sit this one out since he does not have good numbers off Strasburg in his career. Strasburg did not pitch well against […]

Teoscar Hernandez is Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The emergence of youngster Billy McKinney has taken a fairly big chunk out of the playing time for Hernandez. McKinney will bat second and play left field versus righty David Hess. McKinney has been on […]

Kevin Pillar is Sitting Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The emergence of Billy McKinney has led to less playing time for some of the "starting" outfielders in Toronto. Pillar will be on the bench for this contest despite his hot bat over the last […]

Aaron Hicks Will Lead Off on Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will lead off and play center field versus lefty Carlos Rodon on Monday. Hicks normally bats third in the Yankees order, but does see the occasion start in the one-hole. He's hitting .224/.339/.514 with eight home runs and 20 RBI off left-handed pitching this season. Rodon has pitched very […]

George Springer is Out Again on Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (quad) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Springer has now missed five straight games with a quad issue. It's unclear when he'll be back in the starting lineup, but Springer is not expected to land on the disabled list. Tony Kemp will […]

Joc Pederson is Day-to-Day

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (knee) is out in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Pederson is out with a contusion after fouling with a pitch on his left knee. He is available off the bench, but is not going to start on Saturday. Chris Taylor will bat seventh […]

Josh Harrison is Starting on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison did not start in four straight contests due to lingering hamstring issues. It appears these issues are going to be a problem for the rest of the season, so expect the Pirates to limit Harrison's […]

Ryan Braun is Out, Eric Thames is Starting on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears Braun has recovered from that rib cage issue, but is just getting a rest day on Saturday. Eric Thames (knee) is back in the starting lineup for this contest. He'll bat sixth and […]

Matt Olson is Out on Saturday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Olson does not hit left-handed pitching well, so the A's will give him the day off on Saturday. Mark Canha will draw the start at first base and bat seventh against lefty Stephen Gonsalves. Canha […]

Ender Inciarte is Sitting on Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. It appears that Inciarte will get the day off against the left-handed starter. Adam Duvall will draw the start in left field and bat seventh against lefty Wei-Yin Chen. Duvall does have plenty of power in […]

Jose Rondon is Starting on Saturday

Chicago White Sox infielder Jose Rondon will get the start at third base and bat second versus lefty Ryan Carpenter on Saturday. Yolmer Sanchez will get the day off against a left-handed pitcher. Rondon is at the top of the batting order, but does not have much upside in terms of fantasy value. He's not […]

Jake Bauers is Out of the Lineup on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. C.J. Cron will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Rick Porcello. Bauers has struggled at the plate lately, so the Rays are giving him a day off. Cron is worth a […]

Buster Posey Will Have Season-Ending Surgery

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (hip) will officially miss the rest of the 2018 season following season-ending hip surgery. The surgery is to repair his labrum and to remove a bone spur in his right hip. Posey is expected to be sidelined for six to possibly eight months. He should be ready for the […]

Michael Pineda Will Have MRI on Monday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (knee) will have an MRI on his knee Monday. The Twins are hopeful that Pineda is healthy and can continue working his way back to a September return. Pineda has been out all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. There is a slim chance that he has any […]

Many Rams Starters May Sit on Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley are both expected to miss Saturday's third preseason game against the Houston Texans. Neither player has seen a snap this preseason and might not before Week 1 of the regular season. Most of the starting receiving unit has not seen any action through two […]

Jared Goff Likely Won't Play Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is likely going to sit out the third preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Head coach Sean McVay has already committed to sitting running back Todd Gurley. There is a good chance that Goff does not see any action which is odd for starters to sit out […]

Todd Gurley Won't Play on Saturday

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley will not play in the third preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday. It's pretty unusual for a team not to play their starters for at least a series or two during the preseason. There is a good chance that we won't see Gurley and quarterback Jared […]

Tyreek Hill Should Continue to Impress on Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been the best receiving option for the Chiefs this preseason, which should not be surprising to anyone. Hill is coming off a solid campaign last season, and looks like he has not missed a step despite switching quarterbacks. Youngster Patrick Mahomes connected a 69-yard touchdown with Hill […]

Travis Kelce Should See More Action Against Bears

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been quiet through the first two games of the preseason. Kelce has been held to just four receptions and 49 yards this preseason. The Chiefs don't want to risk an injury, so it's understandable why Kelce has not seen a huge amount of playing time. However, Kelce […]
