Tampa Bay Rays infielders Matt Duffy and C.J. Cron are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Joey Wendle will play third base and bat second, while Ji-Man Choi serves as the DH and bats cleanup versus righty Marco Estrada. Wendle has been hot lately and could be a […]

Greg Bird is Out of the Lineup Friday

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird (rest) is out of the starting lineup on Friday versus the Texas Rangers. Bird has one hit over the last week, so the Yankees have decided to give him a break. Luke Voit will bat sixth and play first base against lefty Mike Minor. Voit can be avoided […]

Adam Jones is Back in the Lineup Friday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Jones was given a rest day on Thursday, but is back in the lineup for Friday's contest. Jones will shift over to right field for the remainder of the season, while Cedric Mullins takes over […]

Eduardo Nunez is Sitting Out on Friday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Eduardo Nunez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Rafael Devers is at third base and batting sixth versus righty Dylan Bundy. Devers has solid career numbers off Bundy, so he could be an interesting DFS option.

Jon Jay is Out of the Lineup on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jon Jay (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds. The speedy outfielder will get a rest day, so A.J. Pollock will start in center field and bat third versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. Pollock has been hitting well off right-handed pitching this season. He'll bat in […]

David Peralta Will Lead Off Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta will lead off and play left field versus righty Anthony DeSclafani on Friday. Peralta is hitting .330/.379/.574 with 14 home runs and 42 RB off right-handed pitching this season. DeSclafani has struggled this season, so Peralta is a solid bet for DFS on Friday.

Joey Votto is Back in the Lineup Friday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (knee) is back in the starting lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Votto sat out two consecutive games due to soreness in his right knee. He's batting second and starting at first base against righty Clay Buchholz. Votto is usually a solid bet for DFS contests.

Bryce Harper is Back in the Starting Lineup Friday

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Harper was a late scratch on Thursday due to a lingering leg injury that he suffered on Wednesday. It appears he's fine and is playing center field and batting cleanup versus righty Kyle Hendricks on Friday. […]

Albert Almora Jr. Continues Losing Playing Time

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Washington Nationals. Almora has seen his playing time take a dip lately due to his current slump. The Cubs are stacked with depth, so they can afford to give Almora some time off to figure things out. […]

David Bote is Starting Again on Friday

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote is back in the starting lineup for the third straight game versus the Washington Nationals on Friday. Bote will play third base and bat fifth against righty Jeremy Hellickson. Bote has been on fire this season, so he's always worth a look as a cheap option in DFS when he's […]

Ian Happ is Out of the Lineup Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Jason Heyward will bat cleanup and slide over to center field, while Ben Zobrist (back) returns to the lineup batting third and playing right field. Both players could be worth a look in DFS contests against […]

Zach Davies Will Make Rehab Start on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start at Double A on Saturday. However, the Brewers expect Davies will need at least two more rehab starts before he's ready to return to the Brewers pitching staff. Davies is unsure whether or not this will be his last rehab start. […]

Cubs Sign Lefty Jorge De La Rosa

The Chicago Cubs have signed veteran lefty pitcher Jorge De La Rosa to a major league contract on Friday. He was released by the Diamondbacks earlier this week, but has found another landing spot on a contending team. Lefty reliever Randy Rosario has been optioned to Triple A, while Yu Darvish has been transferred to […]

Corey Dickerson is Not Starting on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Adam Frazier will draw the start in left field and bat first against lefty Andrew Suarez. Frazier could be a cheap DFS option on Thursday. He's in a favorable part of the batting order against […]

Gerardo Parra is Out of the Lineup Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Parra is 0-for-9 over the course of his last four games, so he'll get a rest game on Thursday. David Dahl will draw the start in left field and bat sixth versus righty Ross Stripling. […]

Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig Sitting Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielders Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig are out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Kike Hernandez will bat sixth and play center field, while Chris Taylor bats eighth and starts in left field versus lefty Tyler Anderson. Taylor might be a cheap option in DFS contests, but […]

Adam Jones is Not in the Lineup on Thursday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is not in the starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. It appears that Jones is getting a routine day off to rest. Joey Rickard will bat eighth and play center field against righty Hunter Wood. Rickard does not have enough upside worth considering in DFS contests.

Joey Wendle, Michael Perez Sitting on Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Joey Wendle and catcher Michael Perez are both out of the starting lineup on Thursday. Both players will receive a rest day against the Baltimore Orioles. Brandon Lowe will play second base and bat eighth, while Jesus Sucre bats ninth and does the catching against righty David Hess. Neither player has […]

Rafael Devers Sitting Out on Thursday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in his first game back off the DL on Wednesday. However, the Red Sox want to be careful with Devers and don't want […]

Steve Pearce is Starting At First Base on Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce is back in the starting lineup after getting two days off. Pearce will bat third and play first base against Blue Jays' lefty Ryan Borucki. Pearce is hitting .353/.421/.647 with four home runs and 13 RBI against left-handed pitching this season. Borucki has pitched fairly well this season, […]

Gleyber Torres Sitting Out on Thursday

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. Neil Walker will bat seventh and play second base against righty Ariel Jurado on Thursday. Walker has not been hitting well lately, but did collect three hits and two RBI during the Yankees last series. […]

Didi Gregorius is Back in the Lineup Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. He sat out of Wednesday's game to get some rest, but is back and ready to go on Thursday. He'll bat third and play shortstop against righty Ariel Jurado. Gregorius has been crushing the ball lately […]

Ronald Guzman Sitting Out on Thursday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Jurickson Profar will play first base and bat fifth against lefty J.A. Happ. Profar is hitting .300/.417/.650 over the last week, so he's definitely worth a look in DFS contests on Thursday.

Sam Tuivailala Lands on 10-Day DL

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Sam Tuivailala (Achilles) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list on Thursday. He suffered a strained right Achilles tendon while trying to catch Rougned Odor in a rundown on Wednesday. Tuivailala was only worth owing in leagues where holds are valued, but there's a good chance that he's done for […]

J.A. Happ Activated, Starting Thursday

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) has been activated from the 10-day disabled list on Thursday. Happ is no longer contagious and is feeling much better, according to manager Aaron Boone. He will draw the start against the Texas Rangers on Thursday. Happ threw six innings and allowed one hit during his Yankees […]

Joakim Soria Leaves Game With Injury

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Joakim Soria left Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres due to injury. It's unclear what happened to Soria, but he only recorded one out before being forced to exit the game. Hopefully it's just a day-to-day issue because the Brewers can't afford to lose Soria right now.

Ramon Laureano is in the Lineup Wednesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He will bat eighth and play center field against lefty Clayton Kershaw. Laureano has been impressive during his small sample size in the MLB. However, he's not going to be a fantasy option against a great […]

Matt Kemp is Sitting Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp (ankle, rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Kemp has been dealing with a minor ankle issue, but did start in Tuesday's contest. Joc Pederson will lead off and play left field against righty Mike Fiers. Pederson is hitting .279/.363/.588 off right-handed […]

Jonathan Schoop Out of the Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. Schoop has committed more errors than collected hits since being with the Brewers. Orlando Arcia will start at shortstop and bat eighth versus rookie righty Brett Kennedy. Arcia has been awful with the bat this season, so avoid him in fantasy […]

Ryan Braun Resting on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. The Brewers want to stack their lineup with left hitters against rookie righty Brett Kennedy. Eric Thames will draw the start in right field and bat sixth on Wednesday. Thames is always a threat […]
