Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Marte is hitting .216/.287/.334 […]

Yoan Moncada Will Lead Off on Saturday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada will lead off and play second base versus righty Matt Shoemaker on Saturday. Moncada has hit for some power this season, but has not really lived up to the hype. Moncada is normally not even worth looking at for DFS contests. However, when leading off he has some […]

Shohei Ohtani is in The Lineup on Saturday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani remains in the starting lineup for the fourth straight game on Saturday. Ohtani has hit four home runs in his last three games.

Matt Holliday Remains in the Lineup on Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday remains in the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. Holliday has been hitting well for the Rockies since being called up on August 23.

Michael Brantley Remains Out on Friday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley (foot) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He's now sat out two straight games after fouling a ball off his foot. Rajai Davis will play left field and bat ninth versus righty Marco Estrada. Davis is not worth using in DFS contests. […]

Kendrys Morales is Out on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) returns to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Schwarber missed one game on Thursday due to a minor back issue.

Zimmerman was given an off day on Thursday, but did come in to take an at-bat off the bench. He'll play first base and bat fifth versus lefty Jon Lester.
