J.D. Martinez Returns on Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) returns to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Martinez missed four games due to back spasms, but appears fine to suit up for this one. He'll bat third and serve as the designated hitter against lefty Mike Minor. Fantasy owners can go ahead and […]

Adam Jones is Returning to the Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Jones was sidelined nearly a week due to a right hamstring issue. He'll play right field and bat cleanup versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. Jones could make for an interesting DFS option while batting in the cleanup […]

Nick Ahmed is Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (foot) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ahmed left Sunday's game early due to left foot discomfort. Ketel Marte will draw the start at shortstop and bat second versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. Marte has been surprisingly hitting for power this season, and is […]

Yadier Molina Could Play This Weekend

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (thumb) said there is a chance that he's able to play this weekend. Molina has been sidelined with a right thumb injury, but he reportedly isn't feeling pain anymore. It doesn't sound like the Cardinals plan to send Molina on a rehab assignment. Rest and patience is going to […]

Elieser Hernandez Named Tuesday's Starter

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez will make the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Lefty Caleb Smith (hip) is sidelined, so Hernandez will make the fill-in start here. Hernandez posted a 1.12 ERA and 69/14 K/BB line in the minors this season. He could be a cheap DFS option for Tuesday, but […]

Giancarlo Stanton is Beginning Rehab Work on Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Tuesday. Stanton is scheduled to play on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. He'll likely move up to Triple-A on Friday and could be back in the Yankees lineup by the end of next week. Stanton continues to […]

Paul DeJong is Sitting on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (rest) is going to sit out of Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. DeJong has struggled at the plate lately, so giving him a breather is not a bad idea. Yairo Munoz will play shortstop and bat sixth versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Munoz has been reliable off the bench, […]

Nick Markakis is Out on Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. This will be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. Matt Joyce will cover right field and bat eighth versus righty Pablo Lopez. Joyce has been decent with the bat, but won't be a trustworthy […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is Out on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is a routine day off for Guerrero, so he should be back in there next game. Brandon Drury will cover third base and bat ninth against lefty Robbie Ray. Drury isn't much […]

Rafael Devers, Brock Holt Out on Sunday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) and second baseman Brock Holt (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Both players will get the day off against the left-handed starter. Eduardo Nunez will cover third base and bat fifth, while Marco Hernandez plays second base and […]

Robinson Cano Heads Back to Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The Mets gave Cano a few days to rest, but the left quad injury didn't improve at all. This is Cano's second time landing on the injured list in the last three weeks. Adeiny Hechavarria will cover second base […]

Domingo German Lands on Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. German is battling a left hip flexor strain which could explain why he's struggled over the last few starts. German is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, so more information should be known then. Chance Adams is the […]

J.D. Martinez Remains Out on Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Martinez hasn't played in a game since leaving Thursday's contest due to back spasms. It doesn't sound like the Red Sox plan to put Martinez on the injured list. Christian Vazquez will serve as […]

Tommy Pham is Back in the Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Pham sat out the second game of the doubleheader on Saturday after taking a pitch to the wrist earlier in the day. He'll be in left field and bat second versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez […]

Kevin Kiermaier, Austin Meadows Out on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Kevin Kiermaier (rest) and Austin Meadows (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Both players are getting a day off against the left-handed starter. Guillermo Heredia will play center field and bat eighth, while Yandy Diaz bats leadoff and serves as the designated […]

Nick Senzel Resting on Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This is Senzel's first day off since being recalled from the minors. Jose Peraza will cover center field and bat seventh versus righty Aaron Nola. Peraza is having a rough year and isn't worth looking at […]

Jay Bruce Remains in the Lineup on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce remains in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The newly acquired Bruce has four home runs in four games with Philly. He was not doing much at the plate before the trade, but now he's one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Bruce will bat sixth […]

Yasiel Puig is Resting on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Puig will get a routine day off here, but he's been pretty awful at the plate all season anyway. Jesse Winker will slide over to right field and bat fifth, while Josh VanMeter plays left field […]

Cavan Biggio is At Second on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Biggio will bat leadoff and cover second base versus righty Zack Greinke. Normally, this would be a great DFS spot for Biggio, but he won't have much fantasy value against an ace like Greinke. He can be […]

Eduardo Escobar Gets the Day Off

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Escobar has been killing it at the plate this season with 15 home runs already, so this is just a routine day off. Ildemaro Vargas will play third base and bat sixth versus righty […]

Adam Jones is Still Unable to Play

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Jones suffered a hamstring injury on Tuesday and has been unable to play since then. The D-Backs have not placed him on the injured list, but he might be headed there soon. Tim Locastro will […]

Billy Hamilton is Out on Saturday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Hamilton will get a routine day off to rest, but he hasn't done much at the plate this season anyway. Terrance Gore will cover center field and bat ninth versus righty Lucas Giolito. Gore […]

Yonder Alonso is Absent on Saturday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Yonder Alonso (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Alonso will get a routine day off here, but he's been awful at the plate, so he should be avoided in most formats. Jose Rondon will serve as the designated hitter and bat […]

Shin-Soo Choo is Back in the Lineup

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Choo missed both Thursday and Friday due to a lingering hand injury. Luckily, the injury wasn't serious and he's able to suit up in this one. Choo will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter […]

Jurickson Profar Gets Day Off

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. Profar will get a routine day off here, but he's struggled at the plate this season, so maybe a day off will help him. Chad Pinder will cover second base and bat seventh versus lefty […]

J.D. Martinez Remains Out on Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Martinez left Thursday's game due to back spasms and is sitting his second straight game out here. Christian Vazquez will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth versus lefty Ryan Yarbrough. Vazquez is […]

Andrew Benintendi Sitting on Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The slugging outfielder will get a routine day off against the left-handed starter. Sam Travis will cover left field and bat seventh versus lefty Ryan Yarbrough. Travis hasn't done enough in the MLB to […]

Ian Kinsler is Out on Friday

San Diego Padres second baseman Ian Kinsler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Kinsler will get a routine day off here, but should be back in the lineup this weekend. Greg Garcia will cover second base and bat ninth versus righty Erick Fedde. Garcia doesn't have enough […]

Adam Eaton is Back in the Lineup

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Eaton sat out due to rest on Thursday, but is back in the lineup for this one. He'll bat second and play right field versus lefty Nick Margevicius. Eaton isn't worth using in DFS contests […]

Shed Long is Out on Friday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The young infielder will get the day off against the left-handed starter. Tim Beckham will bat fifth and cover second base versus lefty Andrew Heaney. Beckham doesn't have enough upside with the bat to […]
