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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

Austin Jackson, Wilmer Flores Out on Friday

New York Mets outfielder Austin Jackson (rest) and infielder Wilmer Flores (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It appears both players are just getting a routine off day on Friday. Brandon Nimmo will lead off and play center field, while Dominic Smith will play first base and […]

C.J. Cron is Out Again on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This is the second straight game that Cron has missed in a row.

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. Justin Smoak was given an off day on Thursday, so it's Morales' turn to take a seat. The Jays want to give Rowdy Tellez some playing time, but he can only play first base […]

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.
