Greg Bird Returns to the Lineup on Monday

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Bird has missed six straight games, but is back in the lineup for Monday's contest. He'll bat seventh and play first base versus righty Kyle Gibson. Bird should be avoided in DFS contests. Gibson has […]

Miguel Sano is Still Sidelined on Monday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. Sano has not played since last Tuesday due to a left knee injury. The Twins have not given an update on his timetable, so Sano could be out for the rest of the season. […]

Travis Shaw is Sitting Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Shaw will sit out his second straight game as the Brewers face another left-handed starter on Monday. Jonathan Schoop is at second base and will bat fifth, while Mike Moustakas is at third base and batting […]

Kyle Schwarber is Out on Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs are facing a left-handed starter, so that is likely why Schwarber is out of the lineup. Kris Bryant will play left field and bat second versus lefty Wade Miley. This should be a great […]

Asdrubal Cabrera is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Maikel Franco (wrist) is back in the starting lineup, so Cabrera's playing time could take a minor hit. Scott Kingery will start at shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Erick Fedde. Kingery can be avoided in […]

Maikel Franco Returns to the Lineup on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (wrist) has returned to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Franco missed seven straight games due to a bone bruise in his right wrist. He took a few at-bats off the bench the last couple of games, but feels well enough to start on Monday. […]

Chris Taylor Will Lead Off on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor will lead off and play left field versus lefty Cody Reed on Monday. Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the lineup with the left-handed starter on the mound. Taylor normally isn't the best DFS option, but he could make for an interesting option while leading off. Taylor isn't worth […]

Cody Bellinger, Yasiel Puig Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (rest) and outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Bellinger is sitting out against the left-handed starter. It's unclear why Puig is out, but he's struggled against lefty pitching this season, so that is likely why he is […]

Scott Schebler is Sitting Out on Monday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Schebler is hitting .348/.396/.506 with three home runs and eight RBI off left-handed pitching this season, but will remain out of the lineup for this contest. Brandon Dixon will bat eighth and play right field […]

Evan Gattis is in the Lineup on Monday

Houston Astros catcher Evan Gattis is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Gattis sat out the last three games prior to Monday and has seen his playing time decrease heavily. He'll serve as the DH and bat seventh versus lefty Francisco Liriano. Gattis should be a solid bet for […]

Jim Adduci is Out on Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman/outfielder Jim Adduci (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. Adduci has put together a fairly solid campaign, but does not hold value in any fantasy leagues right now. Niko Goodrum will slide over to first base and bat fifth versus righty Justin Verlander. Goodrum […]

Brian Dozier Will Lead Off on Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier will lead off and play second base versus lefty Kyle Freeland on Saturday. Dozier is hitless over his last five games, but hopefully that will change on Saturday. Freeland has been pitching well this season, so it's tough to trust Dozier with how he's been playing lately. Most […]

Nick Ahmed is Sitting Out on Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This is a routine day off for Ahmed, so he should be back in the lineup on Sunday. Ketel Marte will slide over to shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Julio Teheran. Marte is hitting .216/.287/.334 […]

Joe Panik is Sitting Out on Saturday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Panik is looking at a routine day off against a left-handed starter. Chase D'Arnaud will lead off and play second base against lefty Gio Gonzalez. d'Arnaud does not have enough upside at the plate […]

Mike Moustakas Returns, Jonathan Schoop is Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Moustakas sat out due to rest on Friday, but is back on Saturday. He'll bat sixth and play third base versus righty Chris Stratton. Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the lineup for this contest. […]

Ryan Braun is Sitting Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine rest day for Braun. Curtis Granderson will draw the start in right field and bat fifth versus righty Chris Stratton. Granderson could be worth a look as a […]

Justin Bour, Wilson Ramos Starting on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Justin Bour and catcher Wilson Ramos are both back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Mets. Bour will draw the start at first base and bat second, while Ramos will start behind the plate and bat third versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Both Bour and Ramos are […]

Amed Rosario is Back in the Lineup Saturday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rosario received a day off on Friday, but that is likely going to be his last off day of the season. Rosario will lead off and play shortstop versus righty Zach Eflin. He's been hot at […]

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. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the DH against righty James Shields. Ohtani is a great fantasy option right now especially with how hot he is […]

Adam Jones is Not in the Lineup on Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Jones will receive his second game in a row off on Saturday. Joey Rickard will play right field and bat second against righty Diego Castillo. Rickard could be worth a look as a cheap DFS […]

Jurickson Profar is Sitting Out on Friday

Texas Rangers infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Profar is hitting .304/.385/.565 with one home run and four RBI over the last week. The Rangers just wanted to give him an off day to rest on Friday. Ronald Guzman will play first base and […]

Ketel Marte, Steven Souza Jr. Out on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) and outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Jon Jay will lead off and play right field, while Daniel Descalso plays second base and bats sixth versus righty Kevin Gausman. Descalso can be avoided in DFS contests and […]

Brian Dozier is Sitting Out on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Dozier has not recorded a hit in five consecutive games. He's in a bit of a slump, so he'll receive his second off day of the week on Friday. Kike Hernandez will play second […]

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. Holliday will bat fifth and play left field versus lefty Clayton Kershaw. It's not really a smart idea to use any batter against […]

Brandon Crawford Remains Out on Friday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran shortstop is battling a sore left knee issue, so he'll sit out for the second straight game on Friday. Alen Hanson will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Chase […]

Mike Moustakas is Sitting Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Moustakas has been in a slump lately and does not hit left-handed pitching well. Travis Shaw will slide over to third base and bat sixth, while Jonathan Schoop bats fifth and plays second base […]

Salvador Perez is Back in the Lineup Friday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Perez was forced to miss a week of action due to a thumb sprain. Perez will bat sixth and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Stephen Gonsalves. Perez is worth a look in […]

Miguel Sano is Still Sidelined

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This is the second straight game that Sano has missed due to a left knee bruise. Manager Paul Molitor said on Friday that Sano would undergo some more tests. Ehire Adrianza will play third […]

Amed Rosario is Sitting Out on Friday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This is expected to be Rosario's last off day of the regular season. Jose Reyes will play shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Aaron Nola. Reyes can be avoided in DFS contests and fantasy leagues.
