Braves and Phillies Game Postponed Due To Weather

Friday's game between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies has been postponed due to inclement weather. The teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday. Owners in daily lineup formats and DFS players should remove any Braves and Phillies in their lineups.

Joey Gallo Absent From Rangers Lineup On Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo is absent from the lineup on Friday against the Angels due to a sore right wrist. This is the same wrist he had surgery on in 2019, but apparently the issue is not related. As a result, this should not be a cause for any concern at least at this […]

Jake Cronenworth Batting Fifth For Padres On Friday

San Diego Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth is again batting fifth for the Padres when they take on Luke Weaver and the Diamondbacks on Friday. Cronenworth is off to a hot start on the season posting a .318/.348/.727 line with one home run and three RBI in 23 plate appearances. Cronenworth has taken over everyday […]

Khris Davis Gets Start On Friday Against Righty

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis is in the lineup on Friday batting sixth against righty Zack Greinke of Houston. Davis is off to a very slow start on the season, hitting just .185 in 27 at-bats with one home run and four RBI. Davis will need to break out of his slump and put […]

Dominic Smith In Lineup At First Base For Mets On Friday

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith is in the Mets lineup on Friday against righty Humberto Mejia and the Marlins. Smith is batting sixth and makes for a great contrarian option at first base in DFS leagues on Friday. In 25 plate appearances so far this season, Smith is hitting an underwhelming .222, but […]

Amed Rosario Returns To Lineup On Friday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (quad) is back in the Mets lineup on Friday against the Marlins. Rosario will be playing shortstop and batting ninth against Humberto Mejia and the Marlins. Rosario has not appeared in a game since he hurt his quad and exited early from the Mets game on Monday against Atlanta. […]

Kyle Tucker Leading Off Vs Athletics

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will hit leadoff on Friday against Chris Bassitt and the Oakland Athletics. Primary leadoff hitter George Springer (wrist) is sidelined for the game as he deals with a wrist injury that he suffered in Thursday's game. This will be Tucker's second game as a leadoff hitter this year. We've seen […]

Jeff McNeil Returns To Mets Lineup On Friday

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil (back) returned to the Mets lineup Friday against the Marlins. He will be batting second and playing left field. McNeil returns after a three-game absence due to an inter coastal strain issue. McNeil has opened 2020 on a tear with a .343 average in 35 at-bats. He will […]

George Springer Out Of Lineup On Friday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (wrist) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Springer left Thursday's game with a wrist strain and is still nursing the injury. Manager Dusty Baker seems confident that the injury will only cost Springer a few days and won't require a trip to the Injured […]

Joey Bart and Patrick Bailey Getting Reps At First Base

San Francisco Giants top catching prospects Joey Bart and Patrick Bailey have both been getting playing time at first base lately according to manager Gabe Kapler. Both catchers are currently with the Giants' alternate team in Sacramento. Bart played first base in the first inning of the alternate team's scrimmage yesterday. It's an interesting development […]

J.P. Crawford Out Of The Lineup On Friday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford has been a pleasant surprise for the team so far this year. He's slashing .280/.410/.380 with 10 walks and 12 runs through 14 games on the year. Crawford had led off the team's previous nine games but he'll get a day off on Friday. Second baseman Shed Long Jr. is […]

Shed Long Jr. Back In Leadoff Spot On Friday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. began the year as the team's primary leadoff hitter, but his struggles prompted the team to move him down in the order. Since that demotion, he's started to turn a corner. In his past nine games, he's gone 9-for-32 with a home run and two doubles. Long is […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Not In The Lineup On Friday

Washington Nationals infielder Asdrubal Cabrera is getting the day off on Friday, his first game off this year. Josh Harrison is getting the start at designated hitter in the game while Carter Kieboom is getting the start at third base. Cabrera is slashing .265/.286/.500 on the year with a home run, three doubles and six […]

Joey Gallo Out Of Lineup On Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Gallo has a sore wrist that he was able to play through on Thursday. It certainly doesn't sound like anything major for Gallo, who is slashing .250/.362/.550 with three home runs and eight RBI on […]

Robert Gsellman Activated Off The IL

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Gsellman (triceps) was activated off the injured list on Friday. Gsellman missed, roughly, the first two weeks of the 2020 season. In 2019, Gsellman produced a 4.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and struck out 60 in 63 2/3 innings pitched. Gsellman allowed only a 3.7% overall barrel rate and overall […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]

Kyle Tucker May Be Arriving

Coming into this season, Kyle Tucker was widely viewed as an intriguing outfielder due to his prospect pedigree and power-speed profile while hitting in a stacked Astros' lineup. Tucker slashed .266/.354/.555 with 34 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 536 plate appearances at Triple-A last season, leaving fantasy players drooling over his upside. Tucker […]

Cubs Vs. Cardinals Game Postponed On Friday

Freddie Freeman Blasts Two-Run Shot On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The star slugger has had an uncharacteristically slow start to the 2020 season, slashing just .217/.357/.413 through 46 at-bats. In fairness, Freeman missed a large portion of summer camp due to COVID-19 complications, […]

Touki Toussaint Strong In Thursday's No-Decision

Atlanta Braves starter Touki Toussaint allowed three runs on four hits across 6 2/3 innings of work during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The 24-year-old right-hander was cruising through six innings before the Blue Jays managed to put a two-run rally together. Toussaint struck out a career-high nine batters without issuing a […]

Pete Alonso Zone Contact Percentage Way Down In 2020

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is off to a very slow start in 2020 batting just .180/.339/.240 in 62 plate appearances with one home run and four RBI. He has also struck out 20 times and has one multi-hit game this season. Despite the slow start, Alonso is confident he will turn it […]
