Tanner Anderson to Debut on Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Tanner Anderson will make his MLB debut versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. It sounds like this will be a spot start for Anderson, so he won't likely be up for long. Anderson is carrying a 6.26 ERA at Triple-A this season, so DFS players and fantasy owners can go […]

Dexter Fowler is Getting Rest on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Fowler hasn't put together much success at the plate this season, so the Cardinals will go with another look. Jose Martinez will draw the start in right field and bat second versus righty Sandy Alcantara. […]

Giovanny Urshela is Out on Monday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. This appears to be a routine day off for Urshela, so he should be back in there soon. DJ LeMahieu will bat leadoff and slide over to third base versus lefty Jason Vargas. […]

Masahiro Tanaka Activated on Monday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (personal) has been activated off the paternity leave list on Monday. Tanaka had a child over the weekend, but is back with the team and ready to make the start against the New York Mets on Monday. Fantasy owners can feel safe about plugging Tanaka back into their […]

Shin-Soo Choo is Resting on Monday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Choo has only two career hits off starter Chris Sale, so he'll take a seat in this one. Danny Santana will play left field and bat second against Sale. Santana has actually been reliable with […]

J.D. Martinez Returns on Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) returns to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Martinez missed four games due to back spasms, but appears fine to suit up for this one. He'll bat third and serve as the designated hitter against lefty Mike Minor. Fantasy owners can go ahead and […]

Adam Jones is Returning to the Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Jones was sidelined nearly a week due to a right hamstring issue. He'll play right field and bat cleanup versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. Jones could make for an interesting DFS option while batting in the cleanup […]

Nick Ahmed is Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (foot) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ahmed left Sunday's game early due to left foot discomfort. Ketel Marte will draw the start at shortstop and bat second versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. Marte has been surprisingly hitting for power this season, and is […]

Yadier Molina Could Play This Weekend

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (thumb) said there is a chance that he's able to play this weekend. Molina has been sidelined with a right thumb injury, but he reportedly isn't feeling pain anymore. It doesn't sound like the Cardinals plan to send Molina on a rehab assignment. Rest and patience is going to […]

Elieser Hernandez Named Tuesday's Starter

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez will make the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Lefty Caleb Smith (hip) is sidelined, so Hernandez will make the fill-in start here. Hernandez posted a 1.12 ERA and 69/14 K/BB line in the minors this season. He could be a cheap DFS option for Tuesday, but […]

Giancarlo Stanton is Beginning Rehab Work on Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Tuesday. Stanton is scheduled to play on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. He'll likely move up to Triple-A on Friday and could be back in the Yankees lineup by the end of next week. Stanton continues to […]

Paul DeJong is Sitting on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (rest) is going to sit out of Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. DeJong has struggled at the plate lately, so giving him a breather is not a bad idea. Yairo Munoz will play shortstop and bat sixth versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Munoz has been reliable off the bench, […]

Brian Goodwin Making Case To Stay In Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin continues to contribute this season, hitting .292 over his last seven games heading into Monday's action. Goodwin's best contribution has been his .300 batting average with runners in scoring position and has earned a spot, at the very least, in the Angels outfield rotation moving forward. Goodwin should see […]

Justin Upton Drives In Two During Rehab Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton went 1-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and played the field for the first time this season on Saturday during a rehab assignment. Upton has not played since March 24 after running into a wall during a spring training game. He has been on the shelf ever since with […]

Mike Trout Slugging .780 Over Last 50 At-Bats

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout and Co. will open up a brief two-game series against the Dodgers in Anaheim beginning Monday night. Trout has really begun to flex some offensive muscle lately, smacking five home runs over his last 10 games and has a .780 slugging percentage over his last 50 at-bats. Trout now […]

Tommy La Stella Making Case To Be An All-Star

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Tommy La Stella continues to make a strong push to make his first All-Star game heading into this week's action. La Stella is slashing .368/.400/.658 in the month of June with two home runs and three doubles. His .920 OPS is second on the team to all-world teammate Mike Trout […]

Alex Bregman Off To Strong June Start

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman will enjoy his day off on Monday but is slashing .314/.405/.457 in nine games played in the month of June. Bregman is having another fantastic season with 18 home runs while walking more times (44) than he has struck out (37) this season. The 25-year-old is an elite offensive force […]

Josh Reddick Swinging A Hot Bat

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick went 2-for-3 Sunday in the team's 4-0 win over the Orioles. Reddick is 10-for-27 (.370) over his last seven games and has five multi-hit performances over his last nine played. The veteran is slashing a very solid .312/.351/.459 this season and has filled in admirably hitting cleanup for an Astros […]

Wade Miley Has Five Wins In Last Eight Starts

Houston Astros starter Wade Miley won for the fifth time in his last eight starts by shutting down the Orioles on Sunday in the Astros 4-0 win. Miley (6-3) twirled six shutout innings, striking out five hitters and lowered his ERA to 3.14 on the season. Miley has solidified the middle of the rotation for […]

Alex Dickerson Traded To Giants

The San Diego Padres traded outfielder Alex Dickerson to the San Francisco Giants for right-handed pitcher Franklin Van Gurp on Monday. The 29-year-old Dickerson had shuttled between Triple-A and the majors this season and was batting .158 in 19 plate appearances for the Padres. With a crowded outfield in San Diego, Dickerson’s path to playing […]

Wil Myers Can't Find His Groove

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers concluded an awful weekend series against the Washington Nationals, going hitless in 11 at-bats with two walks and five strikeouts. Through 227 plate appearances, Myers is registering career-worsts in average (.221) and strikeouts (37 percent). The notoriously streaky 28-year-old has endured more lows than highs in 2019 with 11 […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Shines In Return

After missing over a month with a hamstring injury, San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. enjoyed a brilliant return to the lineup. Starting three of four games over the weekend against the Washington Nationals, Tatis finished 5-for-11 with a homer, steal and three runs scored. Supplying a noticeable spark to the scuffling Friars offense, […]

Jason Vargas Faces Tough Test Monday

New York Mets left-hander Jason Vargas will look to stay hot on Monday when he faces the New York Yankees on the road. Vargas has been rolling his last few starts and is coming off a complete-game shutout of the San Francisco Giants last week. The Yankees, however, will present a much bigger challenge in […]

Jorge Soler Drills 17th Homer

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler continues to provide souvenirs to the KC fans. Soler blasted a shot out to left-center in the fourth inning of Sunday's loss, giving him 17 home runs on the season. Soler's always been described as having massive power, but this is his first full season to get to show […]

Ketel Marte Homers on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte went 1-for-5 with a home run on Sunday in his team's win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The homer helped spark an eight-run inning for the D-backs and it was Marte's 15th of the season. The young outfielder has been a huge spark plug for the Arizona offense near the […]

Glenn Sparkman Takes Hard-Luck Loss

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman did his part on Sunday, holding the White Sox to just one earned run (two total runs) over 6 1/3 innings of work, but he was credited with the loss due to the poor performance of his offense and bullpen. Sparkman only struck out two during the outing, […]

Anthony Rendon Blasts Another Home Run Sunday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon left the yard again on Sunday in a win over the San Diego Padres. Rendon went 1-for-4 with a solo shot and two RBI. The homer was the third baseman's 12th of the season. At this stage, Rendon is as consistent as any position player in all of fantasy. […]

Noah Syndergaard Dominates on Sunday

New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard blew past the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon. Syndergaard tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit to go along with seven strikeouts. This was the vintage type of performance that fantasy owners have been expecting from the Mets ace all season. The victory improved his record to 4-4 […]

Nicky Lopez Pulling Out Of Slump

Kansas City Royals rookie second baseman Nicky Lopez singled in Sunday's game against the White Sox to continue to pull himself out of a prolonged slump. The 24-year-old is only hitting .213 since his call-up in mid-May, but a big chunk of that was a 4-for-43 stretch that extended until this weekend. Since Friday, Lopez […]

Marcus Walden Caps Off Rough Week

Boston Red Sox reliever Marcus Walden recorded just one out in four batters faced in the seventh inning of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. Walden served up two solo home runs and a single before being replaced by Colten Brewer. Over the past week, Walden has thrown four complete innings, allowing three earned runs, all […]
