Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, Christian Vazquez Sit Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, shortstop Xander Bogaerts, and catcher Christian Vazquez are all out of the club’s starting lineup Friday against Atlanta and right-hander Kyle Wright. Devers has been in a recent rut, with just a .188 on-base percentage over his last seven contests, while Vazquez has come out of his malaise […]


Freddie Freeman Absent From Friday’s Lineup

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is not among the starting nine for Friday’s contest versus Boston and right-hander Chris Mazza. Austin Riley will shift over from the hot corner to cover in his place, with Ozzie Albies shifting back up the batting order to the No. 2 slot. Freeman is in the thick of […]


Cincinnati Releases Nate Jones Friday

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher Nate Jones was released by the organization Friday after having been designated for assignment Tuesday. Jones had begun the year in high leverage situations out of the bullpen, but compiled a 6.27 ERA over 21 appearances. Injuries have kept Jones from working more than 30 innings in a single season since […]


NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for September 25th

With single-game slates left for the rest of the NBA postseason, we will be focusing our attention on the best plays and strategies for each conference finals and finals game. Whether you play on FanDuel or DraftKings, there are some nice contests available for showdown/single-game and my goal will be to give you my approach […]

PREMIUM

Miguel Sano Lacks Relevant September Production

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano has made a reputation as a boom-or-bust DFS asset, which has been extenuated by his major league-leading 23.4% barrel rate and 95.4-mph average exit velocity, as well as his 43.7% strikeout rate. But as it's likely to happen with a slugger boasting those metrics, Sano has gone ice-cold as […]


Zac Gallen Eyes Strong Finish To 2020 Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Zac Gallen had morphed into a National League Cy Young contender before two rough September starts derailed his progress. But he can still close 2020 with a sub 3.00 ERA, with his final start coming Friday versus a Rockies lineup that will be without Nolan Arenado (shoulder). Gallen struck out seven […]


Oscar Mercado Not On Fantasy Radar After 2020 Performance

Cleveland Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado looked like a staple of fantasy outfields for years to come during his rookie campaign in 2019. But following Thursday’s contest, his slash line for the 2020 year sat at .123/.172/.173 with two extra-base hits. Mercado had been sent to the club’s alternate training site earlier in the year due […]


Jose Ramirez Makes MVP Case With Torrid September

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez has been ferociously hot over his past 15 games, having amassed a .400/.468/.945 slash line with eight home runs and 20 RBI in that stretch. That production has put him in the conversation for American League MVP, which while effectively meaningless in terms of fantasy production, would vault Ramirez […]


Juan Soto In Line For MVP Consideration

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto is firmly entrenched as a National League MVP candidate coming down the stretch of the season, with his 1.189 OPS tops in the Majors. After entering the year as a borderline first-round candidate depending on season-long league size, Soto will be in contention for the No. 1 overall choice come […]


Jeimer Candelario Departs Early With Back Tightness

Detroit Tigers first/third baseman Jeimer Candelario was pulled from Thursday’s contest against Kansas City with lower back tightness and is officially tagged as day-to-day. Jorge Bonifacio entered the game in Candelario’s place, with Brandon Dixon shifting to first base in his place. Having gone 0-for-2 at the dish prior to his departure, Candelario’s average dipped […]


Sherten Apostel Leaves Early Thursday Due To Back Spasms

Texas Rangers first/third baseman Sherten Apostel departed Thursday’s contest versus Houston early due to back spasms after he dove for a ball in the field. Andrew Romine, who was added to the active roster prior to the game, entered the lineup in Apostel’s place, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa shifting back to third base. Initially, Anderson Tejeda […]


Eloy Jimenez Exits Early, Day-To-Day With Foot Soreness

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (foot) departed Thursday’s contest against Cleveland due to a sore right foot. Prior to his exit, Jimenez went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a pair of strikeouts, bringing his average on the season to .296. Adam Engel stepped into the lineup in his stead, and he would likely […]


J.B. Wendelken Hits Injured List, James Kaprielian Recalled

Oakland Athletics right-handed pitcher J.B. Wendelken (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list prior to Thursday’s contest versus the Dodgers, with righty James Kaprielian taking his spot on the active roster. Wendelken has been a crucial cog in the Oakland bullpen, compiling a 1.80 ERA across 21 appearances this season. With a career-high 11.2 K/9 […]


Carlos Carrasco In Prime Spot Friday

Cleveland Indians right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco returned to the rotation on a full-time basis this season after his leukemia diagnosis last year and likely exceeded any and all expectations of how he would perform. He’ll make his final regular-season start Friday against a Pirates offense that ranks last in the Majors with a .631 OPS, […]


Frankie Montas' Status For Opening Round Unknown

Oakland Athletics right-handed pitcher Frankie Montas looked the part of a top-tier starter through his first four starts in 2020. But since then, he has fallen off the wagon in terms of performance, compiling a 10.88 ERA with 10 homers allowed in 24 innings. With just three games constituting the 0pening round of the playoffs, […]


Rays Could Add One Of Ji-Man Choi, Yandy Diaz To Playoff Roster

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) and third baseman Yandy Diaz (hamstring) both got to take swings Thursday against rehabbing left-hander Jose Alvarado (shoulder). But while both could return at some point during the postseason, it’s likely that only one will join the playoff roster ahead of Tuesday if they’re limited to solely […]


Jose Berrios Wraps Up Regular Season On Friday Versus Reds

Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios once again delivered right in line with his usual production during the 2020 year. He makes his final start of the regular season against the Reds on Friday, who have been susceptible to relying on the home run ball for offensive output as of late. The club’s .211 batting […]


Kyle Higashioka Encroaching On Gary Sanchez’s Playing Time

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka drew the start at catcher Thursday over Gary Sanchez, even with left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the mound. Higashioka has become Gerrit Cole’s personal catcher as of late, but manager Aaron Boone made it clear that Higashioka may be seeing more time behind the dish heading into the postseason. While […]


Tyler Glasnow Climbs Into Elite-Starter Tier With Rising K Rate

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow began to flash his ace-like potential upon his arrival with Tampa Bay, and if the end of the 2020 year is any indication, he’s awfully close to achieving it. With his K rate sitting at a gaudy 38.2% through his start Wednesday, he is also among the top […]


Eddie Rosario Clobbers Way Into Top-Tier Production

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario has socked six of his 13 home runs this season during the month of September en route to a .568 slugging percentage since the calendar flipped. While he will finish the regular season with three tough matchups against Reds right-handers Tyler Mahle, Luis Castillo and Trevor Bauer, Rosario has undoubtedly improved […]


Nick Goody Gets Designated For Assignment Thursday

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Nick Goody was designated for assignment Thursday, with the club adding infielder Andrew Romine to the active roster in his place. Goody made 17 appearances (one start) for Texas this year, recording his first career save back in July. Despite posting a 9.00 ERA, Goody’s K/9 sat at 10.6, with an […]


Charlie Morton Continues To Stretch Out Ahead Of Playoffs

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton will start Friday versus Philadelphia, making his final start of the 2020 regular season. After missing nearly a month due to shoulder inflammation, Morton ramped his pitch count up to a season-high 94 pitches his last time out. While his strikeouts numbers haven’t been as prolific as they […]


J.A. Happ Makes Final Regular Season Start Friday

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher J.A. Happ will take the hill Friday versus Miami, marking his final start of the 2020 regular season. After opening the year with back-to-back starts of four runs allowed, Happ has compiled a 1.93 ERA over his last six starts. With one final strong performance, Happ can likely clinch his […]


Javier Baez Sees September Slide Crater Season Numbers

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez has batted just .188 with a .216 on-base percentage during September, being dropped in the order as far as the No. 7 slot. His OPS has been in a steady freefall from his past numbers, settling into .579 with just three contests to play in 2020. Equally concerning is the […]


Aaron Bummer, Carlos Rodon Rejoin Roster Thursday

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitchers Aaron Bummer (biceps) and Carlos Rodon (shoulder) were both activated off of the injured list prior to Thursday’s contest versus Cleveland. Bummer has been a crucial cog in the Chicago bullpen over the last two years, having allowed just one run with 12 strikeouts in 7 ⅓ IP this year. […]


Joc Pederson Back Among Starting Nine Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/designated hitter Joc Pederson rejoins the starting lineup Thursday versus Oakland and right-hander Mike Fiers. Pederson has become a platoon option at this stage, having batted just .177 with a .639 OPS this year. Yet after clubbing 36 homers last year, Pederson can still present an appealing DFS boom-or-bust option due to […]


Carlos Martinez Lands On Injured List With Oblique Ailment

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Carlos Martinez (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Thursday’s contest versus Milwaukee due to a strained left oblique. After having delivered a 9.90 ERA in five regular-season starts, it was murky as to whether Martinez would make St. Louis’ potential playoff roster, but the injury further […]


Freddy Peralta Hits Paternity List, Eric Lauer Rejoins Roster

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta was placed on the paternity list prior to Thursday’s contest versus the Cardinals, which effectively removes any remaining fantasy intrigue that he had in 2020. With the placement requiring at least three days away from the club, left-hander Eric Lauer was recalled to rejoin the roster. Peralta excelled out […]


Walker Buehler Faces Few Limitations In Thursday Start

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler (finger) is making his first start since Sept. 8 on Thursday versus Oakland, and manager Dave Roberts indicated that he hopes for the righty to reach six innings or 90 pitches. Buehler has worked at least six innings just once all season (Aug. 21), but he has delivered […]


Alejandro Kirk Draws First Start As Designated Hitter Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk will serve as the designated hitter for Thursday's contest versus the Yankees and left-hander Jordan Montgomery, the first time in his big league career that he’ll start from somewhere other than behind the dish. Kirk, the club’s No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has impressed in his early showings, […]
