Tyler Naquin is in the Lineup Wednesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Naquin was activated off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He missed roughly a month due to a knee issue. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat ninth against lefty Martin Perez on Wednesday. Naquin should be […]

C.J. Cron is Back on Wednesday

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. The slugging first baseman was given the day off to rest on Tuesday. He'll bat fifth and play first base versus righty Tyler Clippard on Wednesday. Cron has been surprisingly solid with the bat this season, so […]

Harold Castro Starting at Second Base on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers infielder Harold Castro will be given the start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. He was recalled on Tuesday with Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) hitting the injured list. He'll likely play a utility role with Detroit, so it's unclear how much playing time he'll see. Castro will play second base and bat sixth […]

Teoscar Hernandez to See More Playing Time

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez will reportedly see more playing time down the stretch of the season, according to general manager Ross Atkins. Hernandez has been awful with the bat this season, but the Jays believe he can bounce back. The Jays aren't in playoff contention, so they will likely give Hernandez a long […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out For Game 3

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has been ruled out for Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Durant hasn't been cleared for contact, so who knows if he'll even be able to play in Game 4. Andre Iguodala and Quinn Cook will continue to be asked to fill the void with Durant […]

Klay Thompson is Questionable for Game 3

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (hamstring) is questionable for Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. Thompson was able to shoot some during Tuesday's practice, but it's unclear if he'll actually be able to suit up. This is likely going to be a game-time call, but Thompson has never missed a playoff game in his […]

Kevon Looney Out for Rest of Finals

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (collarbone) will be sidelined the rest of the NBA Finals. Looney suffered a fractured collarbone and won't be able to participate in the rest of the series. DeMarcus Cousins, Jordan Bell, and Andrew Bogut will see increased playing time. Luckily, the Warriors have depth, so this injury doesn't hurt […]

Andrew Moore Gets the Start on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Andrew Moore will receive the spot start against the Houston Astros on Tuesday. Moore posted a 9.98 ERA in the minors this season, so he doesn't have any fantasy value here. The Astros have a strong offense, so if anything, bet against Moore in DFS contests on Tuesday.

Scott Kingery Gets the Nod at Third Base

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery will cover third base against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. Maikel Franco normally gets the start at third base, but he's been horrible with the bat, so the Phillies are giving him the day off. Kingery will cover third and bat seventh versus righty Chris Paddack. Kingery could see […]

Adam Haseley is Starting on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adam Haseley has been recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday. The top prospect will draw the start in center field and bat eighth versus righty Chris Paddack. Andrew McCutchen (knee) tore his ACL and is done for the season, so Haseley has a real chance to play everyday in Philly. He should provide […]

Kelvin Gutierrez Recalled, Starting on Tuesday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez has been recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday. Hunter Dozier (chest) was placed on the injured list Monday, so Gutierrez will fill in at third base. Gutierrez hit .281/.300/.386 with a homer and 11 RBI during his 15 games in Kansas City this season. However, he'll likely split the […]

Andrew McCutchen is Done for the Year

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) is out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee. He suffered the injury during a rundown in San Diego on Monday. He was having a surprisingly strong season in Philly, so this news is going to hurt tons of fantasy owners. […]

Avisail Garcia Back In Lineup Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is back in the lineup on Tuesday after missing the weekend series against the Twins due to hamstring tightness. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second against lefty Ryan Carpenter on Tuesday. Carpenter has been awful this season, so Garcia has some cheap DFS appeal in […]

Chris Davis Activated, Starting Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (hip) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Davis missed just 10 days with hip inflammation. He'll bat seventh and play first base versus lefty Drew Smyly. Davis is hitting .171/.257/.318, so go ahead and avoid him in just about every format.

Ryan Borucki is Making Progress

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ryan Borucki (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday without any issues. That was his second bullpen session, and Borucki is scheduled for a third on Saturday. He's been out all season due to an elbow issue. He could head out for a rehab assignment soon. There's a chance Borucki […]

Pedro Strop Activated on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Strop missed almost four weeks of action due to a hamstring strain. Steve Cishek pitched well as the fill-in closer, but Strop should be back into his ninth inning role on the North Side. Both Strop and Cishek […]

Carlos Gonzalez In The Lineup Again on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is back in the starting lineup for the second straight game. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Jeff Hoffman on Tuesday. Gonzalez didn't do much with the bat during his time with the Cleveland Indians this season. However, he'll have a great chance to do damage against […]

Brendan Rodgers is Getting the Night Off

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Rodgers has hit pretty well since being called up, but manager Bud Black enjoys playing the matchups. Ryan McMahon will cover second base and bat sixth versus righty Kyle Hendricks. McMahon has some appeal in […]

Mike Moustakas Returns on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas (finger) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Moustakas suffered a fracture in his right ring finger during Saturday's contest. However, the Brewers didn't place him on the injured list, so he's going to attempt to play through the issue. Moustakas will bat […]

Tommy Pham Remains Out on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Pham missed the weekend series against the Twins, and will sit this game out as well with a left leg cramp. The team hasn't decided to put Pham on the injured list, so hopefully he's […]

Ji-Man Choi is Sitting on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Choi will get a routine rest day here, but should be back in the lineup next game. Yandy Diaz will bat leadoff and draw the start at first base against lefty Ryan Carpenter. Diaz […]

Gregory Polanco is Out Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Polanco has struggled with the bat, but is mostly likely out because lefty Max Fried is on the mound for Atlanta. Melky Cabrera will play right field and bat cleanup against Fried. Cabrera has some DFS […]

Jimmy Nelson Recalled on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson has been recalled from Triple-A on Sunday. Nelson will be given the start versus the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Nelson pitched fairly well during his recent rehab assignment. He's worth grabbing in fantasy leagues against the Marlins. He's been solid in the past, so it's worth taking a flier […]

Joey Gallo Placed on Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Gallo tweaked his left oblique during Saturday's contest. The team is unsure how much time Gallo is going to miss. He'll likely be out at least a few weeks, but possibly more. Delino DeShields has been recalled from Triple-A […]

Hunter Dozier Remains Out on Sunday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (chest) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Dozier pulled a chest muscle on Thursday and hasn't played since then. Cheslor Cuthbert will bat sixth and take over at third base versus righty Adrian Sampson on Sunday. Cuthbert is too risky of […]

Dexter Fowler Sits Out

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The switch hitting outfielder has been average with the bat this season and will get the day off to rest. Jose Martinez will bat fifth and play right field versus lefty Cole Hamels. Martinez has […]

Matt Carpenter is Getting Some Rest

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This is partly because Carpenter needs a day off, and lefty Cole Hamels is on the mound as well. Jedd Gyorko will bat sixth and play third base versus Hamels. Gyorko has been awful […]

Albert Almora Jr. is Out on Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Almora will get a routine day off, so fantasy owners don't have to worry about an injury. Jason Heyward will cover center field and bat sixth versus righty Adam Wainwright. Heyward hasn't done much […]

Javier Baez is Back in the Lineup

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (heel) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Baez has been dealing with a lingering heel issue over the last few weeks. He missed Saturday's game, but is batting cleanup and playing shortstop versus righty Adam Wainwright on Sunday. Baez is a strong […]

Gregory Polanco is Out on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Polanco is in a rough slump right now, so the Pirates will give him some time to rest. Melky Cabrera will draw the start in right field and bat sixth versus righty Zach Davies. Cabrera has […]
