Marcus Semien Will Lead Off on Thursday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien will lead off and play shortstop versus lefty Wade LeBlanc on Thursday. Semien has struggled over the last week, but is notoriously better against left-handed pitching. LeBlanc has pitched fairly solid this season, but is not an overpowering pitcher. Semien is worth a look in DFS contests while he's leading […]

Mitch Moreland Remains Out of the Lineup on Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This will be the second straight game that Moreland has missed due to a left knee contusion. He's considered day-to-day, so no disabled list stint for Moreland yet. Brock Holt will play first […]

Tim Anderson is Back in the Lineup Thursday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Anderson sat out on Wednesday after suffering a left ankle bruise on Tuesday. He'll play shortstop and bat fifth versus righty Rick Porcello.

Jason Heyward will slide over to center field and bat fifth, while Ben Zobrist plays right field and bats cleanup versus righty Mike Foltynewicz.

Duvall is hitting .294/.333/.529 with one home run and five RBI off Montgomery is his career. However, Duvall has been fairly disappointing at the plate this […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Josh Harrison Remains Out on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Matt Adams Starting At First Base on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The newly acquired Adams will bat cleanup and play first base against righty Joe Musgrove. Matt Carpenter who normally plays first base will have to move around the infield when Adams starts. DFS players should take […]

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Voit has been on fire with the bat over the last week or so. He's playing first base and batting cleanup versus lefty Francisco Liriano. Voit is worth a look as a sleeper option for […]

Josh Harrison Continues to Struggle With Hamstring Issues

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp Back in the Lineup Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielders Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp are back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Both players sat out on Tuesday, but the Dodgers have so much depth it's difficult to find playing time for everyone. Puig will play right field and bat seventh, while Kemp plays left field […]

Jean Segura Exits Early on Wednesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura (leg) was forced to leave early during Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Segura fouled a ball off his leg and it looked like Segura was in pain, so the Mariners pulled him out of the game. Andrew Romine took over for Segura in Wednesday's contest. It's unclear how […]

Jonathan Schoop is Back in the Lineup Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Schoop has seen his playing time decrease lately because he has not done much with the bat since joining Milwaukee. He'll bat sixth and play shortstop versus righty Matt Harvey. Schoop is not worth trusting in DFS […]

Jesus Aguilar is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Eric Thames will play first base and bat seventh versus righty Matt Harvey. However, Thames has not done much with the bat lately, so it's difficult to trust him in DFS contests.

Jose Bautista is Starting on Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies corner infielder/outfielder Jose Bautista will make his first start in a Philly uniform on Wednesday. He'll bat sixth and play right field versus lefty Gio Gonzalez. Nick Williams and Odubel Herrera will get the night off on Wednesday. Roman Quinn will lead off and play center field. Both players should be cheap DFS […]

Billy McKinney Will Lead Off Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Billy McKinney will lead off and play left field versus righty Alex Cobb on Wednesday. McKinney has been on fire since being called up by the Jays. However, his emergence has taken away playing time from the veteran outfielder Curtis Granderson. Cobb has been fantastic in August, but has been crushed […]

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Anderson was pulled from Tuesday's game in the ninth inning due to a left ankle bruise. Jose Rondon will play shortstop and bat second against lefty C.C. Sabathia. Rondon has struggled versus right-handed pitching […]

Luke Voit is Sitting Out on Wednesday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Mitch Moreland is Out on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Manuel Margot is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Normally Jankowski […]

David Dahl is Out of the Lineup Tuesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Dahl is hitting .326/.393/.589 with five home runs and 16 RBI off right-handed pitching this season, so clearly Tuesday is a rest day for him. Gerardo Parra will bat sixth and play left field against […]

Josh Harrison is Sitting Out Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Harrison aggravated his left hamstring injury on Saturday and has not been able to fully recover yet. Harrison is considered day-to-day for now, but it's unclear how much time he'll miss. Adam Frazier will draw […]

Wilmer Flores is Out of the Lineup Tuesday

New York Mets first baseman Wilmer Flores (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Flores is 0-for-8 over his last two games and has bad numbers versus lefty Cole Hamels in his career. Jay Bruce will draw the start at first base and bat sixth against Hamels on […]

Willson Contreras is Out on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Contreras has been awful with the bat over the last two weeks, so he'll get the day off to rest. Victor Caratini will start behind the plate and bat fifth versus Jacob deGrom. Caratini is […]

Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig Out on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielders Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig are out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Puig had his suspension hearing on Tuesday, so that's likely why he's out of the lineup. Kemp is probably just getting a rest day and he's been slumping over the last month. Joc […]

C.J. Cron is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The Rays don't have a designated hitter in Atlanta, so Cron will sit this one out. Jake Bauers will cover first base and bat third against righty Julio Teheran. Bauers is not worth consideration […]

Eric Thames is Out of the Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Billy Hamilton Will Lead Off Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off and play center field against righty Junior Guerra on Tuesday. Hamilton has been leading off the last couple of weeks and it's really sparked his bat. However, he's in an 0-for-8 slump at the plate right now, but Hamilton has good career numbers off Guerra. DFS players […]

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (rest) and outfielder Roman Quinn (rest) are out of the starting lineup on Tuesday. Asdrubal Cabrera will play third base and bat third, while Odubel Herrera plays center field and bats cleanup versus righty Max Scherzer.

Ramos is hitting .480/.462/.880 with one home run and eight RBI over the last two weeks. However, he's played in back-to-back games, so the Phillies want to give him some rest.
