Patrick Mahomes Has Tough Challenge In Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a tough challenge ahead of him against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. The 2017 first-round pick takes over for Alex Smith as the starting quarterback in KC. He'll face off against the Chargers in L.A. so not exactly an easy task for Mahomes. The Chargers defense […]

Manny Machado is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Manny Machado (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. This will be a rare off day for Machado, so he can get some rest.

Justin Bour is in The Starting Lineup on Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Justin Bour (oblique) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Bour was activated off the disabled list on Sunday, but has only seen one at-bat since then. He'll bat second and play first base versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Carlos Santana will shift from first base […]

C.J. Cron is Out on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cron went 0-for-5 on Tuesday, so he'll get the night off to rest.

Kevin Pillar is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Davis can be avoided […]

Billy McKinney is Back in the Lineup Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Billy McKinney is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. McKinney will lead off and play left field versus righty Tyler Glasnow. McKinney is hitting .355/.447/.742 with three home runs and 10 RBI off right-handed pitching this season. He should be a solid bet for […]

Harrison Bader is in the Starting Lineup on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Bader fouled a ball off his left ankle during Tuesday's contest. The X-rays came back negative, so it sounds like the injury is nothing serious. Bader will bat seventh and play center field versus righty Tanner […]

Matt Adams is Back in the Lineup Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Adams has not hit well since joining the Cards, so it's not surprising to see that his playing time has decreased. However, he will bat third and will first base against righty Tanner Roark. This […]

Tucker Barnhart is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds catcher/first baseman Tucker Barnhart (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Barnhart will get a routine rest day on Wednesday.

Corey Dickerson is Back in the Lineup Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Dickerson was given a rest day on Tuesday against a left-handed starter. He'll bat fifth and play left field versus righty Homer Bailey. DFS players should consider Dickerson even though he's been in a slump lately. Bailey […]

Josh Harrison Remains Out on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This will be Harrison's fourth straight game that he has missed. It sounds like these hamstring issues are going to linger throughout the rest of the season. The Pirates will likely be cautious with Harrison […]

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. McNeil will get a breather with southpaw Rich Hill on the mound. Wilmer Flores will slide over to second base and bat third, while Jay Bruce covers first base and bats sixth. Flores has […]

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets.

Dozier was given a rest day on Monday, but is back in the lineup for this contest. Dozier will lead off and play second base versus lefty Jason Vargas on Tuesday. Dozier does not […]

Mike Zunino is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears the Mariners are giving Zunino the day off after three straight starts behind the plate. David Freitas will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate against righty Alex Cobb. Freitas can be […]

Kyle Seager is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears this is just a rest day for Seager, who doesn't have good career numbers off O's starter Alex Cobb anyway. Robinson Cano will play third base and bat second against Cobb. Cano is […]

Brett Gardner Will Lead Off on Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner will lead off and play left field versus righty Liam Hendriks on Tuesday. Gardner normally bats first or ninth for the Yankees, so it's not too surprising seeing him leading off. However, he's doing it on Tuesday against a relief pitcher making a spot start. The A's are using […]

A.J. Pollock, Ketel Marte Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock and infielder Ketel Marte are back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Both Pollock and Marte received a rest day on Monday. Pollock will bat second and play center field, while Marte bats seventh and plays second base against lefty Joey Lucchesi. Marte has […]

Brandon Belt is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Belt did come off the bench to take an at-bat on Monday, but he wasn't able to do more than that because of knee soreness. It's likely that we see the Giants giving Belt […]

Albert Almora Jr. Will Lead Off on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. will lead off and play center field versus lefty Wade Miley on Tuesday. Almora has been in a slump at the plate during the second half of the season. However, Almora is hitting .343/.383/.476 with one home run and 10 RBI off left-handed pitching this season. He's worth a […]

Mike Moustakas is Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Moustakas does not hit left-handed pitching well, so the Brewers will let him sit this one out. Travis Shaw will slide over to third base and bat sixth versus lefty Mike Montgomery. Although, Shaw does […]

Jurickson Profar is Playing First Base on Tuesday

Texas Rangers first baseman Jurickson Profar will play first base and bat sixth versus lefty Andrew Heaney on Tuesday. Profar is hitting .471/.591/.824 with one home run and four RBI in the last week, so Texas would like to keep his bat in the lineup whenever possible. Ronald Guzman will sit this one out against […]

Andrew Benintendi is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The Red Sox are playing in a National League stadium, so they don't have a designated hitter for this contest. J.D. Martinez will play left field and bat third against lefty Sean Newcomb. Martinez is […]

Carlos Santana Will Lead Off on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Carlos Santana will lead off and play first base versus righty Trevor Richards on Tuesday. Santana tends to bounce around in the Philly batting order, so it's not too surprising seeing him leading off. However, Santana has not been great at the plate this season, so he's not normally the best […]

Kansas City Royals infielder Adalberto Mondesi moves up in the batting order for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Mondesi normally bats fifth or lower in the batting order for KC.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Rajai Davis will draw the start in center field and bat ninth versus lefty Danny Duffy on Tuesday. Davis was activated off the disabled list on Saturday, but this is his first game action since late August. Davis is hitting .246/.293/.309 with one homer, six RBI and 16 stolen bases this season. […]

C.J. Cron is Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Billy McKinney is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Billy McKinney (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
