Joey Rickard Starting on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard is starting in right field and batting eighth against righty Masahiro Tanaka and the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Danny Valencia will get the night off with Rickard jumping into the starting lineup. Rickard went 3-for-6 in the doubleheader on Monday, but is not an option in fantasy leagues or […]

Austin Hedges Sitting Out Monday

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Hedges (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Veteran A.J. Ellis will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth against lefty Clayton Kershaw. Hedges is only worth a look in NL-only leagues at the moment. Ellis is not a fantasy […]

Logan Morrison is Out on Monday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Logan Morrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Mitch Garver who normally does the catching will bat sixth and serve as the DH against lefty Danny Duffy. Morrison has been awful this season and struggles against left-handed pitching, so he'll get the […]

JaCoby Jones is Not in Lineup Monday

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Victor Reyes will draw the start in center field and bat ninth against Chris Archer on Monday. Both players should be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS contests.

John Hicks is Not Starting on Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman/catcher John Hicks (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Jim Adduci will bat fifth and play first base against righty Chris Archer on Monday. Hicks is getting a rest day on Monday, but is an appealing option in many fantasy leagues. He starts […]

Derek Dietrich Not Starting on Monday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Garrett Cooper will bat sixth and play left field against righty Chase Anderson. Dietrich normally sits against left-handed pitching, but is just getting a routine day off on Monday. Cooper is not worth adding in fantasy […]

Tyler Saladino Out of the Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Hernan Perez will play shortstop and bat seventh against righty Jose Urena. Saladino had played in four straight games and was currently in a 0-for-6 slump during his last two games. The Brewers decided to give […]

Jacob Nottingham Starting At Catcher Monday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jacob Nottingham will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate against righty Jose Urena on Monday. Manny Pina (biceps) is out, so Nottingham and Erik Kratz will split time at catcher. Nottingham was hitting well in the minors and is worth a look for fantasy owners in deeper leagues that […]

Jonathan Villar is Sitting on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Brad Miller will bat sixth and play second base against Jose Urena. Despite seeing his playing time dip, Villar is worth owning in NL-only and deep leagues right now. Brad Miller has been hot over […]

Yan Gomes Back in the Lineup Monday

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes is back in the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Gomez got the night off on Sunday, but will draw the start at catcher and bat seventh against Anthony DeSclafani. Gomes is worth owning in AL-only and deep leagues especially with his bat beginning to heat up […]

Brock Holt Sitting Again on Monday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Brock Holt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Eduardo Nunez will play second base and bat seventh against lefty Mike Minor. Holt and Nunez continue to battle for playing time, which makes neither player an appealing option in most fantasy leagues. Holt has […]

Ronald Guzman Sitting on Monday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Jurickson Profar will slide over to first base and bat sixth against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Guzman does not hit well against left-handed pitching, so he'll get the night off. AL-only leagues should be the […]

Mitch Moreland Remains Out Friday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (back) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. Steve Pearce will draw the start at first base and bat cleanup against righty Jason Hammel. Pearce is not normally a fantasy option, but he could be an interesting DFS choice against the struggling […]

C.J. Cron is Not in the Lineup Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. The Rays are in New York, so Jake Bauers will cover first base while Cron sits out against righty Jacob deGrom. Bauers is batting third but is not a recommended DFS option against […]

Wil Myers Resting on Friday

San Diego Padres first baseman/outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It looks like a rest day for Myers, who has been busy with the bat lately. Hunter Renfroe will bat cleanup and play right field against Zack Godley on Friday. Renfroe has only knocked […]

Jake Lamb Sitting on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Chris Owings will bat eighth and play third base against lefty Joey Lucchesi. Lamb does not normally play against left-handed pitching, so Owings will slide over there for this contest. However, Owings has not […]

Mitch Haniger Remains Out on Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. The team is calling the injury a bruised knee and Haniger has been listed as day-to-day. Ben Gamel will take over in right field and bat seventh against righty German Marquez. Gamel has not registered a […]

Mark Canha Starting on Friday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha is batting second and playing left field against Carlos Carrasco on Friday. Matt Joyce will get the night off for the A's, but both players are not great options in fantasy leagues. Canha is in a favorable part in the batting order but is not a great DFS option against […]

Kendrys Morales is Not in the Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Curtis Granderson will serve as the designated hitter and bat first against righty Sonny Gray. Morales should be owned in AL-only leagues and some deep mixed formats for his power. Granderson is not […]

Austin Meadows Out on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Meadows is hitting .190/.227/.286 over his last seven games, so he'll get the night off to rest on Friday. Starling Marte, Gregory Polanco, and Corey Dickerson will cover the outfield against righty Nick Pivetta on Friday. […]

Jorge Alfaro Resting on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Jorge Alfaro (rest) is out of the starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Andrew Knapp will be behind the plate and bat seventh against righty Trevor Williams. Alfaro is normally the everyday catcher for Philly, but that doesn't mean he's a solid fantasy option. He's really only worth an add […]

J.T. Riddle Out Again on Friday

Miami Marlins shortstop J.T. Riddle (hip) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. He continues to deal with a nagging left hip issue, so Miguel Rojas will play shortstop against lefty Gio Gonzalez. Riddle is not worth an add in fantasy leagues right now. However, Rojas has been hitting […]

Derek Dietrich Sitting on Friday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Garrett Cooper will bat sixth and play left field against lefty Gio Gonzalez. Dietrich does not hit well against left-handed pitching, so he'll get the night off. However, Dietrich is worth a look in mixed leagues. […]

John Hicks Not in the Lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers catcher/first baseman John Hicks (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Jim Adduci will bat fifth and play first base against righty Bartolo Colon. Hicks is getting a routine day off on Friday, but is worth a look in mixed leagues. The fact that he's catcher […]

Jeimer Candelario Sitting on Friday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Ronny Rodriguez will play third and bat seventh against righty Bartolo Colon. Candelario has been slumping over the last week, so he'll get a routine day off on Friday. He's likely only worth a look […]

Christian Villanueva is Out Thursday

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva (rest) is out of the starting lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Cory Spangenberg will bat sixth and play third base against righty Shelby Miller. It looks like just a routine day off for Villanueva, who has heavily cooled off since April. Most owners should stay away […]

Manuel Margot is Sitting on Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wil Myers, Travis Jankowski, and Hunter Renfroe will cover the outfield against righty Shelby Miller. Margot has put together a disappointing season and is only worth a look in NL-only and some mixed leagues. It's […]

Robbie Grossman Sitting on Thursday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Robbie Grossman (rest) is out of the starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. Eddie Rosario, Max Kepler, and Jake Cave will cover the outfield for the Twins against righty Andrew Cashner. Grossman has been hitting better lately, but is not worth an add in fantasy leagues right now. However, Rosario […]

Tim Beckham to Lead Off on Thursday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Tim Beckham will bat leadoff for the Orioles against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. He gets the start at third base against righty Aaron Slegers. Beckham is only worth a look in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues right now. However, he could be an interesting DFS option in the leadoff spot on […]
