Luke Farrell Claimed by Angels

The Los Angeles Angels have claimed relief pitcher Luke Farrell off waivers from the Chicago Cubs on Monday. Farrell has posted a 5.17 ERA through 31.1 innings with the Cubs this season. However, he had a 3.64 ERA in 12 starts in Triple-A Iowa this season. Farrell did own a 3.86 ERA with the Cubs […]

Freddy Galvis Will Lead Off on Monday

San Diego Padres shortstop Freddy Galvis will lead off and play shortstop versus righty Zack Godley on Monday. Galvis shifts around in the Padres batting order quite often, but he's only valuable in DFS contests when batting first. However, Galvis is hitting .221/.287/.332 with seven home runs and 40 RBI off right-handed pitching this season. […]

Ketel Marte is Sitting Out

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Marte has started six straight games coming into Monday, so he'll get the night off to rest. Daniel Descalso will bat sixth and play second versus righty Bryan Mitchell. DFS players can go ahead and […]

Jon Jay is Starting in Center Field on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jon Jay will lead off and start in center field against righty Bryan Mitchell on Monday. A.J. Pollock will sit this one out since he's been horrible at the plate lately. Jay has been fairly solid for the D-Backs this season, especially when leading off. DFS players should consider Jay on Monday.

Jay Bruce Will Start Despite Facing Lefty Starter

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets are trying to give Bruce as much playing time as possible, but this could hurt their offense. Bruce will bat sixth and play right field versus lefty Alex Wood. Bruce is hitting .188/.235/.313 […]

Alex Verdugo Will Start in Center Field on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo will play center field and bat fifth versus righty Jacob deGrom on Monday. Verdugo hit .329/.391/.472 with 10 homers and eight steals in 91 games at Triple A this season. It appears that Matt Kemp will sit this one out, so Verdugo can start. DFS players can go ahead […]

Brian Dozier Will Sit Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. Dozier is hitless through his last three games, so the Dodgers will give him the night off. Max Muncy will play second base and bat cleanup versus righty Jacob deGrom. It's not a […]

Shohei Ohtani is Out of the Lineup Monday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Jose Fernandez will serve […]

Willy Adames is Sitting on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Adames will get the day off to rest since he's been slumping with the bat lately. Joey Wendle will play shortstop and bat fifth against righty Marcus Stroman. Wendle normally is leading off for […]

C.J. Cron is Out on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It appears the Rays are giving Cron a day off, but he's been a excellent source of power for them this season. Ji-Man Choi will serve as the DH and bat third against […]

Randal Grichuk is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This will be a rest day for Grichuk who has started seven straight games coming into Monday. He's been on fire with the bat lately, so this has nothing to do with his production. […]

Kendrys Morales is Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It appears the Jays are giving Morales a rest day, so he should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Danny Jansen will serve as the DH and bat eighth versus righty Ryne […]

Devon Travis is Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be a routine rest day for Travis who has started six straight games. Travis has not been much of a fantasy asset all year, so he should remain on the […]

Justin Smoak is Back in the Lineup on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Smoak did not start on Friday, but came off the bench and hit a grand slam in the ninth inning. He'll play first base and bat third against lefty Wei-Yin Chen. Smoak is worth a […]

Starlin Castro is Resting on Saturday

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Castro is hitting .385/.455/.538 with zero home runs and two RBI off Jays' starter Marco Estrada in his career.

Josh Harrison is Out on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Harrison returned to the lineup on Friday after not starting basically the entire week.

Ozzie Albies is Resting on Saturday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears this is just a routine day off for Albies. Charlie Culberson will bat sixth and play second base versus righty Chris Archer. Culberson could be a cheap sleeper option for DFS contests on […]

Brian McCann Activated Off DL, Starting Saturday

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann (knee) has been activated off the disabled list and is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. McCann has been disappointing at the plate this season hitting .206/.283/.323 heading into Saturday. He'll likely share time behind the plate with Martin Maldonado. McCann is batting eighth […]

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Pearce sat out on both Thursday and Friday, but is batting third and playing first base against lefty Carlos Rodon on Saturday.

Tim Anderson Will Lead Off on Saturday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will lead off and play shortstop versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on Saturday. Anderson continues to jump around in the batting order for the South Siders this season. The team has been unable to find reliable spot for Anderson in their batting order. Rodriguez has pitched well this season, but […]

Eric Thames Remains Out of the Lineup on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. This will be the third straight contest that Thames has not started. It appears that Brewers would rather use Ryan Braun and Jesus Aguilar than Thames. The fantasy value for Thames has dropped significantly over […]

Matt Wieters is Dealing With Groin Issue

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Wieters is reportedly dealing with a hip/groin issue, according to Jamal Collier. The Nats have not put Wieters on the disabled list because it's September and the rosters expanded. It's unclear whether this is a day-to-day […]

Willson Contreras is Out on Saturday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Contreras has been slumping with the bat lately, so he'll get a night off to rest. Victor Caratini will bat seventh and draw the start behind the plate against righty Zach Eflin. Caratini is not worth […]

Kris Bryant Activated Off DL, Starting Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) has been activated off the disabled list and is starting against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Bryant has missed roughly two months due to a left shoulder injury. He's playing third base and batting fifth against righty Zach Eflin. Bryant is worth a look for DFS contests on […]

Nick Williams is Back in the Lineup on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Williams is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Williams has seen his playing time decrease lately due to the emergence of Roman Quinn. Williams will bat fifth and play right field versus righty Kyle Hendricks. He's worth a look as a cheap sleeper outfielder on […]

Carlos Santana Will Lead Off on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Carlos Santana will lead off and play first base versus righty Kyle Hendricks on Saturday. Santana normally bats cleanup or fifth for Philly, but is moving up for this contest. He's hitting .261/.308/.609 with two home runs and six RBI over the last week. DFS players should definitely consider Santana on […]

Todd Frazier Will Lead Off on Friday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier will lead off and play third base against lefty Andrew Suarez on Friday. It's rare to see Frazier higher than fourth in the starting lineup, but the Mets are trying to spark their offense. Frazier has not hit left-handed pitching well this season, but is still worth a […]
