Mark Melancon Held Out With Back Problems

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Mark Melancon (back) was held out of Saturday's game after his back tightened up prior to warm-ups.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb turned in a decent first start in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 7/26/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! It's confession time. I've made more money playing MLB DFS the last two days than I have playing KBO DFS for the last two weeks. Some of that is because I've crushed it on the MLB side, but it's also because I've cut back tremendously on my KBO play. However, I can't […]

Ryne Stanek Struggles On Saturday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Ryne Stanek had a rough outing on Saturday against the Phillies. He tossed an inning, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk.

DJ LeMahieu Back In The Yankees Lineup

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu is back in the lineup and leading off after missing Thursday’s game.

LeMahieu took batting practice against Jordan Montgomery on the team’s off-day […]

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire took Pete Fairbanks deep in the seventh inning for his first home run of the season in the team's 4-1 loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker pitched well in his 2020 debut, but his offense didn't provide much support in the 4-1 loss to the Rays. The right-hander surrendered one run on three hits over six innings, while striking out four and walking a pair in the no-decision. Shoemaker's season ended abruptly in 2019 […]

Tommy Edman Hits A Triple On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Tommy Edman hit a triple on Saturday, going 1-for-5 with two RBI. Edman has gotten the start at third base in both games so far this season, hitting second in the lineup. He put up an .850 OPS with 11 home runs last season and should be a solid third […]

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit a home run and a single in Saturday's win, ending up 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. His home run came in the first inning. "Goldy" struggled a bit last season, but still ended up with 34 home runs and 97 RBI. It's hard to […]

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood only lasted three innings in his first start of the 2020 season on Saturday.

Wood will […]

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto had a nice day at the plate in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox, going 3-for-5 with two singles, a double, and an RBI.

Alex Cobb Earns Win In Start Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb looked sharp in his first start of the season, earning a win in a 7-2 game over the Red Sox.

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart will have to wait to begin his 2020 season as he was placed on the paternity list prior to first pitch Sunday. Curt Casali will assume full-time catching duties for the Reds in Barnhart’s absence, but utilityman Kyle Farmer figures to factor in as well. To take Barnhart’s spot on […]

Stephen Strasburg Scratched Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will not be making his first start of the season Saturday, pulled because of a nerve issue in his pitching hand. If you were using him in DFS against the Yankees for some reason, pull him now. If he's on a standard fantasy roster he must stay there for […]

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/designated hitter Matt Davidson has tested positive for COVID-19, which will land him on the injured list specific for those who will need to test negative twice before returning to action.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Pulled From Starting Lineup Saturday

Texas Rangers catcher/third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa had originally been slated to man third base during Saturday’s contest versus the Colorado Rockies, but has since been scratched due to left hamstring tightness.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (toe) was initially deemed day-to-day after being held out of the team’s Opening Day lineup Thursday, but he will instead incur a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a toe ailment.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Rich Hill is healthy and was scratched from his start as a precautionary measure, the team announced last night.
