DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/13/19): MLB DFS Lineups

A seemingly quiet day on Thursday, with just 11 games taking place. Two of those games take place in the afternoon, before a fuller nine-game slate in the evening. All of those nine games make up the featured DraftKings slate today, despite the Cubs @ Dodgers game starting almost an hour and a half later […]

Miles Mikolas Hammered By Marlins

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas got rocked by the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night, giving up eight hits, five earned runs, and a walk over five innings in the 9-0 loss. He gave up a grand slam to Garrett Cooper in the sixth inning and only registered four strikeouts against the mostly-punchless Marlins […]

Matt Olson Knocks 11th Homer

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson hit 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The blast was Olson's 11th of the season, but he also struck out twice and left three runners stranded on base. For the season, Olson is hitting .234/.333/.539 with […]

Yandy Diaz Stays Hot In Loss

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz had another productive outing in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics, hitting 3-for-5 with an RBI double in the 7th inning. Diaz is 11-for-27 (.407 average) with a home run, two doubles, three RBI, and three runs scored in his last six games played. He has raised […]

Mitch Keller Knocked For Six Runs

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller was shelled by the Braves on Wednesday, allowing six earned runs on 10 hits and two walks over three innings of work. Keller has struggled in his young career, having allowed 12 runs over his first two starts. The Pirates' top prospect has not looked comfortable in the majors and […]

Corey Seager Heading To Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager is headed to the 10-day injured list after pulling up lame in Tuesday night's game. While running the bases and trying to score, Seager came up limping around third, and the initial diagnosis is a Grade 2-plus hamstring strain. With a Grade-3 being the most severe, this will undoubtedly […]

Martin Prado Exits With Hamstring Tightness

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado was forced from Wednesday's game early after limping while attempting to run out a ground ball. The team is calling it right hamstring tightness, and he's considered day-to-day. Prado was 1-for-2 with a run in this one as he's hitting a soft .239 on the year with a homer […]

David Dahl Knocks Three Hits Against Chicago

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl was the only member of the offense to have a good day against the Cubbies on Wednesday when he smacked three hits while his teammates scuffled. Dahl's hits included his 19th double of the season, but he was unable to knock in any runs due to the team's severe lack […]

Antonio Senzatela Hammered By Cubs

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela's luck ran out on Wednesday when the Cubs teed off on his mediocre stuff. Senzatela was flying high as he was coming off back-to-back quality starts, but Chicago dropped a five-spot on him in the second inning and a three-run start to the fifth would chase him before he […]

Joey Wendle To Return Thursday, Christian Arroyo Optioned

The Tampa Bay Rays are activating infielder Joey Wendle for Thursday's game against the Angels and are optioning Christian Arroyo to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Wendle played eight games with the Rays this year before fracturing his wrist which has kept him out of action since April 25. He went 7-for-15 with a homer […]

J.P. Crawford On Track For Friday Return

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford is slated to return to the big league club on Friday as he works his way back from an ankle sprain. In his latest rehab game on Tuesday, Crawford crushed a three-run tater further enforcing he's ready to return for their series against the Athletics this weekend. The 24-year-old was […]

Shed Long Making Outfield Debut Wednesday

The Seattle Mariners are starting Shed Long in left field for the first time for Wednesday's game versus Jose Berrios and the Minnesota Twins. Long has made every one of his starts at second base this season but is shifting to the outfield in order for his bat to stay in the lineup. With Dee […]

Daniel Poncedeleon Officially Starting Friday

After St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (hamstring) landed on the injured list earlier this week, the Cardinals announced that Daniel Poncedeleon will take his spot in the rotation for the time being. His first test will come Friday night in New York to take on the Mets in a decent streaming matchup. In one spot […]

Matt Strahm To Be Activated Thursday Versus Rockies

San Diego Padres starter Matt Strahm is scheduled to return from the IL for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The Friars placed Strahm on the IL on June 5 with a left rib strain and has made a prompt recovery in time to start the series opener in Coors Field. It's a tough matchup […]

Jhoulys Chacin To Start For Brewers Monday

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell announced that pitcher Jhoulys Chacin will return to the Brewers rotation on Monday when they travel to take on the Padres. The right-hander landed on the IL on June 1 with a back injury after tweaking it during an at-bat and is ready to return without a rehab assignment. Freddy […]

No "Significant Damage" In Nolan Arenado's Arm

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado left Wednesday's game early after getting beaned in the left arm by Cubs starter Cole Hamels. Manager Bud Black told reporters that the X-rays didn't show any "significant damage," which seems vague, likely meaning that there's a minor issue. Arenado likely avoided a major injury, but we shouldn't rule […]

Chris Paddack Optioned to Minors

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack has been optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday. This move is more to limit Paddack's innings than it is a real demotion. Paddack has struggled over his last few starts and the Padres want to make sure that he stays healthy. He should be back on the Padres roster […]

Jon Duplantier Placed on Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jon Duplantier (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Duplantier is dealing with right shoulder inflammation that has led to his velocity dropping. The D-Backs are taking the safe route here and giving Duplantier some time off to rest. It's unclear how long he's going to be sidelined […]

Buster Posey Activated, Starting Wednesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Posey spent 10 days sidelined due to a right hamstring strain. He will resume his role as the everyday catcher in San Francisco. Posey is batting cleanup and doing the catching versus lefty Joey Lucchesi on Wednesday.

Wil Myers Sits Out on Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Myers is having a rough year at the plate and will take a seat here. Manuel Margot will draw the start in center field and bat ninth versus righty Shaun Anderson. Margot can go […]

Jonathan Schoop is Not in the Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Schoop will get a routine day off here, so no injuries to worry about. Marwin Gonzalez will slide over to second base and bat sixth versus righty Gerson Bautista. The Twins should have a good […]

Gerson Bautista Will Serve As Opener Wednesday

Seattle Mariners pitcher Gerson Bautista will serve as the opener for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He was activated from the injured list recently and has only pitched in two games for Seattle this season. Tommy Milone will follow Bautista and pitch a bulk of the innings. This is a situation to avoid against […]

Jordan Yamamoto Recalled, Starting Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jordan Yamamoto will draw the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Yamamoto was recalled from Double-A following Jose Urena (hip) landing on the injured list. He's been serviceable in the minors this season, so he carries some deep league appeal. Yamamoto probably isn't worth a look against the St. […]

Gregory Polanco is Sitting on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Polanco gets a day off after starting the last three games. Melky Cabrera will draw the start in right field and bat fifth versus righty Mike Soroka. Cabrera has actually been reliable with the bat this […]

Jorge Alfaro is Absent on Wednesday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Alfaro has been a bright spot for Miami this season, but he'll get a normal day off here. Bryan Holaday will serve as the catcher and bat eighth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Holaday is not […]

Cole Hamels Extends Scoreless Streak To 23 Innings

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cole Hamels extended his scoreless inning streak to 23 on Wednesday versus the Colorado Rockies. Hamels loaded the bases in the first inning, but escaped unharmed and it was smooth sailing from that point on. Over his seven innings pitched, Hamels allowed six hits, zero ones, one walk and struck out […]

Derek Law Named Opener for Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Derek Law will draw the start against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Law will act as the opener and pitch an inning or two in this one. Edwin Jackson will follow him and pitch a majority of the innings. Both Law and Jackson have been ugly this season, so fantasy […]

Kyle Schwarber Stays Hot

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber continued his hot streak with a three-run home run on Wednesday. The slugger finished 1-for-4 with four RBI. Schwarber has really been since the ball well since moving up to the top of the Cubs lineup around a month ago and is hitting .272 with ten runs scored, six home […]
