Jake Arrieta To Start Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (elbow) will start Sunday against the Nationals, according to manager Gabe Kapler. Arrieta is dealing with a bone spur in his right elbow but apparently feels good enough to try and pitch Sunday. Arrieta has been terrible in his last three starts with a 7.71 ERA and only 12 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Chicago White Sox have struggled to manufacture offense out of the DH slot this season, and with Yonder Alonso's tenure with the team already over (and his tenure with a new one has already begun), the club has opted to roll the dice […]

Alex Wood (SP/RP, CIN) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Wood has had a rough road back to the mound after being sidelined with back issues, not having yet made his debut for the Cincinnati Reds after being the prized plunder of their off-season trade with the Dodgers. Though his recent rehab start […]

Kyle Gibson Chased In Fourth Inning

Minnesota Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson couldn't make it out of the fourth inning in a 5-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Gibson allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits in 3 2/3 innings of work while striking out five and walking one. The veteran right-hander wasn't at his sharpest as he threw […]

Sonny Gray Impressive At Coors Field

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray was excellent in a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Friday. The veteran right-hander allowed just one run over seven innings while racking up nine strikeouts and walking three. It goes down as yet another impressive performance as Gray was able to tame the Rockies in notorious hitter-friendly Coors […]

Renato Nunez Drives In Two Friday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman/designated hitter Renato Nunez went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a solo home run, and a strikeout in Friday's 16-4 loss to the Rays. The slugger now has 21 HR on the season and is hitting .333 with three HR and seven RBI in July. Nunez has had some extreme hot streaks […]

Dylan Bundy Only Lasts One Inning Friday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy got rocked in Friday's 16-4 loss to the Rays. Bundy started the game but lasted just one inning, allowing seven runs on eight hits (including a solo home run) and no walks with one strikeout. The 26-year-old has been a disappointment all season and is now 4-11 with a […]

Austin Slater Stays Hot Friday, Hits Two-Run Home Run

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater continued to hit in Friday's 10-7 win over the Brewers, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run. The 26-year-old has been on fire since getting called up to the Giants, posting a ridiculous .389/.450/1.111 slash line with three HR and 11 RBI in just 20 plate appearances. The sample […]

Evan Longoria Goes Deep Friday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria continued his hot July in Friday's 10-7 win over the Brewers, going 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and a strikeout. Longoria took Corbin Burnes deep in the sixth inning for his 13th long ball of the season. The veteran has been a fantasy disappointment overall this season […]

Buster Posey Hits Go-Ahead Grand Slam Friday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey had a huge game in Friday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Brewers. The veteran went 2-for-5 with a single, a grand slam, and a strikeout. Posey took the game for the Giants by breaking the tie score in the 10th inning with a grand slam, his fourth home run […]

Shaun Anderson Takes No-Decision Friday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson turned in a decent start in a tough matchup in Friday's 10-7 win over the Brewers.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/13/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday does not often see a predominantly evening slate, but the first Saturday post-All-Star break is different. The double-header in Baltimore means we have five games in the afternoon, before a big 11-game slate in the evening. Boston is the biggest favorite on the slate, but the way Sale has been pitching it is hard […]

Danny Duffy Leaves Game Early Friday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (hand) was hit by a line drive on his left hand and was forced to leave his start early on Friday against the Tigers. X-rays came back negative, though, and the left-hander was diagnosed with a bruise. The 30-year-old allowed six hits and four earned runs while walking […]

Matt Strahm Moved To Bullpen

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Strahm will return to the bullpen for the start of the second half of the season. The 27-year-old will attempt to help the team's struggles against left-handed hitters out of the 'pen in a role that has seen him achieve some success in the past. Strahm had a 2.05 […]

Sean Manaea To Make Rehab Start Saturday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) will throw four innings at Single-A Stockton on Saturday. It'll be the left-hander's second rehab start for Stockton after he gave up four earned runs in just 2 1/3 frames his first time out earlier this week. The good news is that Manaea hasn't had any setbacks from […]

Eric Lauer Placed On Bereavement List

The San Diego Padres placed starting pitcher Eric Lauer on the bereavement list on Friday and called up relief prospect Andres Munoz from Double-A Amarillo in a corresponding move. The left-handed Lauer is 5-7 for the Friars this year with a 4.04 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 7.1 K/9 in 91 1/3 innings over his 17 […]

Zack Cozart To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (shoulder) will have season-ending arthroscopic debridement on his left shoulder next Wednesday, July 17, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Cozart has done very little of anything in his two years with the Halos and was also held to just 58 games due to injury in 2018. He […]

Angels Put Jonathan Lucroy On Concussion Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels placed catcher Jonathan Lucroy (concussion, nose) on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and activated catcher Kevan Smith from the injured list in a corresponding move. Lucroy was involved in a scary collision at home plate with Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick before the All-Star break. Lucroy suffered a concussion and […]

Felix Hernandez To Throw Bullpen Next Week

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (lat) will throw a full bullpen session early next week. Hernandez has been out since May 11 and is nearing the end of his career as he tries to remain relevant and stay healthy. He's pretty much off the fantasy map, at least in mixed leagues, and is a […]

Mitch Haniger Meeting With Doctors Next Week

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (testicle) will meet with a doctor next week in hopes of being cleared for activity. There is no timetable for his return after he needed surgery for a ruptured testicle that he sustained in early June. His fantasy owners are hoping for a return before the end of the month, […]

Brandon Nimmo Ramping Up Activities

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is playing catch and ramping up his running, according to general manager Brodie Van Wagenen. There still remains no timetable for Nimmo's return, and he's been out since May 20. He was only hitting .200/.344/.323 with three home runs, 20 runs, 14 RBI and a steal in 130 […]

Josh Harrison Close To Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) is close to starting a minor league rehab assignment. If all goes well, he could return by the end of the month. Harrison has been a bust in Detroit and has been out since late May due to a hamstring strain that required surgery. The 32-year-old is hitting […]

Adam Wainwright Could Start Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said that starting pitcher Adam Wainwright's (back) injury isn't very serious and there's a chance he could start on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Wainwright was scratched on Friday due to spasms in favor of Daniel Poncedeleon. The good news is that it doesn't look like the veteran right-hander will […]

Giancarlo Stanton Hasn't Resumed Baseball Activities

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) is still in the rehab phase and has not resumed baseball activities. The 29-year-old slugger has been a massive fantasy bust so far in 2019 because of injuries. He's hitting .290/.421/.419 with only one home run and seven RBI in just nine games and we're into the second […]

Dellin Betances Expected To Resume Throwing Program Monday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (lat, shoulder) is expected to begin his throwing program on Monday. Betances has yet to pitch for the Yankees this year and is looking at a return sometime in August. While the hard-throwing right-hander won't see many save chances as long as Aroldis Chapman is healthy, he still […]
