Neil Walker Hits For Ninth Straight

Miami Marlins second baseman Neil Walker went 1-for-4 on Wednesday in the loss to the Rays, marking his ninth straight game in which he has had at least one hit. While the Marlins continue to have issues offensively, the 33-year-old has been a semi-consistent source of production by leading the team with a .294 average. […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 7)

Another week, another whack of promotions from the Top 30 list. In his eighth pro season, outfielder Harold Ramirez finally earned a shot with the last-place Marlins after hitting .355 in 31 Triple-A games. The Indians have finally turned to Oscar Mercado for help with their beleaguered outfield. With Collin McHugh struggling to a 6.37 ERA […]

Brian Anderson Goes Hitless Against Tampa

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson went 0-for-4 with a walk in the loss to the Rays on Wednesday. It was yet another unproductive outing for the young up-and-comer, going just 8-for-41 for four RBI and a subpar .195 average this month to go along with 41 strikeouts on the year. Despite his inefficiencies, he […]

Curtis Granderson Has A Double In Loss

Miami Marlins outfielder Curtis Granderson went 1-for-4 with a double along with a walk during Wednesday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. After coming in as a pinch hitter in the team's previous two outings which resulted in only two plate appearances, the 38-year-old played a full tilt in this one despite having relatively nothing […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/16/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Thursday brings us another 10 game slate, but frustratingly once again with a split, and weirdly with one game (BAL @ CLE) missing off both slates entirely. The "main" slate starts at 6.40 pm and contains five games. There is also an earlier four game "featured" slate, but with the bigger prizes and more games […]

Michael Wacha Has a Decent Outing on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha was okay on Wednesday, taking a loss after a five inning performance in which he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks. He struck out four and allowed a home run. Wacha threw 90 pitches, 51 for strikes. His record dropped to 3-1 but […]

Aroldis Chapman Picks Up Two Saves Wednesday

With two close victories Wednesday, the New York Yankees had closer Aroldis Chapman work twice. In the first game of the day, the Cuban native allowed a hit in the ninth, but locked down the save with a pair of strikeouts. In the nightcap, he once again entered with a two-run lead and struck out […]

Domingo German Dominates En Route To Eighth Win

The New York Yankees feature the first pitcher to reach eight wins this major league season, and it's Domingo German. Originally thrust into the rotation due to injuries, the 26-year-old has been nothing short of sensational early on and Wednesday's performance was no exception. Taking on the Orioles, German went seven innings, allowing just one […]

Miguel Andujar Opts For Surgery, Likely Ending Season

Miguel Andujar's worst fears have been realized as the 24-year-old will indeed undergo surgery to repair the torn labrum in his right shoulder. His estimated time of recovery is four to six months, likely meaning he will not return this year. When Andujar originally went down with the injury, at the beginning of April, it […]

Gleyber Torres Homers Three Times Wednesday

Starting both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres had himself quite the day. Starting at shortstop, Torres drilled two home runs in the first game and added another in the nightcap as the Yankees swept both games. The 22-year-old now has eight home runs and 20 RBI […]

Yu Darvish Pitches Well Versus Reds

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish has his best start of the season versus the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Over 5 1/3 innings, Darvish allowed five hits, two runs, zero walks and struck out 11 batters. The big stat in this matchup for Darvish was that he didn’t walk a batter and that has hurt […]

Kris Bryant Extends On-Base Streak

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant kept his on-base streak alive at 24 on Wednesday versus the Reds. Bryant has been hitting the ball very well after a slow start to the season and is now hitting .267 with eight home runs and 26 RBI.

Addison Russell Goes Yard

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Russell finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. Russell recently returned from a 40 game suspension and is nothing more than a watch list candidate at the moment.

Kyle Schwarber Hits Fifth Home Run

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk and a home run on Wednesday versus the Reds. Schwarber’s home run was his fifth of the season and he is now hitting .224 with 11 RBI. Schwarber remains a source of power for fantasy owners in a potent lineup, but is unlikely to help […]

Anthony Rendon Goes 3-for-4

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored, and an RBI in Washington's 5-1 win against the New York Mets on Wednesday. Rendon now has five hits in his last two games, raising his slash line to .276/.344/.448 since returning from an injury list stint on May 7. His […]

Patrick Corbin Dominates Mets

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin got the win Wednesday night with eight brilliant innings of work against the New York Mets. Corbin allowed just one run on four hits, with 11 strikeouts against a single walk, as he threw 72 of his 108 pitches for strikes. Washington won 5-1 to improve Corbin to 4-1 […]

Jake Odorizzi Wins Sixth Game

Minnesota Twins right-hander Jake Odorizzi picked up his sixth win of the season in an 8-7 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Odorizzi gave up three runs in 5 1/3 innings of work while striking out three and walking two. All three of the Angels' runs came on two homers off of Odorizzi. […]

Byron Buxton Hits Second Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in an 8-7 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. The young outfielder went deep off of Angels starter Trevor Cahill in the fifth inning. Buxton is now hitting .278 with an .836 OPS, two homers, 18 doubles, 20 runs, 16 RBI, and […]

Miguel Andujar To Have Season-Ending Surgery

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the 2019 season after having surgery. After bursting on the scene with a .361 wOBA in 2018, Andujar has not been able to get anything going this year due to a nagging shoulder injury that has kept him on the injured list […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Gets The Ball Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu will get a couple extra days of rest before his next start, coming Sunday against the Reds. Ryu’s last start was on May 12, giving him a full week between starts. In his last three starts, Ryu has thrown 25 innings, allowing only one earned run. Results have […]

Alex Wood Could Resume Throwing Next Week

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alex Wood (back) could resume throwing as early as next week. Wood has missed all of the 2019 season due to back issues. The Reds currently don't have a timetable for his return. He'll likely need a few rehab appearances before he's able to return to the Major League roster. We'll see […]

Lucas Duda is Getting Closer to Returning

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda (back) is reportedly getting closer to a rehab assignment. Duda landed on the injured list April 27 due to a lumbar strain. He was struggling with the bat before that, hitting just .174/.306/.326. Duda should be back with the Royals by early June. However, he's not going to […]

Zack Greinke Exits Early on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke (abdominal) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Greinke was pitching 7 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball before he was removed due to abdominal tightness. The D-Backs will likely have some undergo some testing and more information should be known soon.

Howie Kendrick Returns on Wednesday

Washington Nationals first baseman Howie Kendrick (neck) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. He missed a few games due to neck stiffness, but was available to take an at-bat off the bench on Tuesday. He'll bat fifth and play first base against righty Wilmer Font. Kendrick has […]
