David Fletcher Not A Strong DFS Play For Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher has emerged as the team's leadoff hitter heading into the team's matchup against the Tigers on Wednesday. Fletcher is slashing .340/.404/.447 over his last 15 games but is facing a tough matchup Wednesday. The Tigers will send left-hander Matthew Boyd to the bump, and Fletcher is hitting only […]

Andrelton Simmons Hitting .348 Over Last 20 Games

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons went 2-for-5 with two runs batted in as the Angels took down the Tiger 5-2 on Tuesday. Simmons has emerged as the most consistent offensive force in the Angels lineup as superstar Mike Trout is still finding his stride after suffering an April groin injury. Since April 15, Simmons […]

Michael Chavis Gets The Day Off Wednesday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Michael Chavis is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Chavis has gone hitless his last two games but has mostly been crushing the ball since his call-up and should remain the starting second baseman moving forward despite the returns of Eduardo Nunez and Dustin Pedroia. Nunez is at the […]

Addison Russell To Join Cubs Wednesday

The Chicago Cubs will call up infielder Addison Russell from the minors on Wednesday, according to a source. Ben Zobrist was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday for personal reasons, so perhaps Russell will replace him on the active roster. Russell finished up a suspension for domestic violence and will be more of a utility […]

Gary Sanchez Resting Against M's

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is taking the day off on Wednesday. Austin Romine is behind the plate and is batting eighth against Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. Romine is hitting only .220 (11-for-50) with a home run, five runs scored and eight RBI in his 15 games for the Yankees. You can do […]

Shohei Ohtani Goes Hitless In Debut

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani made his 2019 debut on Tuesday night, going 0-for-4 in the team's 5-2 win over the Tigers. Ohtani struck out twice but walked once and drove in his first run of the season when he grounded out in the third inning to give the Angels an early 2-0 […]

Leury Garcia Out Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Charlie Tilson will start in center field and is hitting sixth against Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber. In his first two games of the season for the Pale Hose on Monday and Tuesday, Tilson has three hits in his seven at-bats […]

Chris Davis Off Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is not in Wednesday's lineup against Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. Even with Sale struggling overall this year, Davis notably has as well, so it makes sense he's sitting out against a left-hander. Trey Mancini is at first base batting third and Renato Nunez has designated hitter […]

Tim Beckham Sits Wednesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop Tim Beckham is out of the lineup on Wednesday, with Dylan Moore filling in and batting ninth. Beckham started the season hot but has cooled considerably and could use the day off. Fantasy owners can hold for now but should be wary about the meager .213/.255/.382 slash line from Beckham over the […]

Brett Gardner Off Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday, as Mike Tauchman gets the start in center field and is batting ninth. Gardner has filled in fairly well for the Yankees with outfielders Aaron Hicks and Giancarlo Stanton out injured and can remain on rosters for now. Hicks and Stanton […]

Gordon Beckham Gets Start at Shortstop

Detroit Tigers infielder Gordon Beckham is starting at shortstop and batting eighth on Wednesday, giving Jordy Mercer the day off. Beckham (.250/.353/.523) has out-performed Mercer (.206/.275/.317) to this point in the season, but Mercer continues to get the bulk of starts at short as Beckham moves around the infield for the occasional start. Although Mercer […]

Mitch Moreland Reaches Double-Digit Homers

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland hit a three-run home run to lift the Red Sox over the Orioles on Tuesday. It was already his 10th homer of the year, as he’s gotten out to a powerful start despite hitting for a .215 batting average. It’s hard to justify his 15 percent ownership in […]

Kevin Plawecki Catching Wednesday

Cleveland Indians catcher Kevin Plawecki gets the start Wednesday over fellow catcher Roberto Perez. This is Plawecki's 12th start of the season compared to 23 for Perez, so Plawecki is clearly the backup. As such, he's not fantasy relevant in almost all leagues. By the standards of catchers today, his slash line of .182/.308/.364 after […]

Alex Reyes Throws to Batters in Jupiter, FL

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes threw about 70 pitches to hitters on Tuesday as he works his way back from a broken finger. Reyes threw from behind a screen while wearing a splint, so it wasn't a full-on game situation, but it's progress. Reyes, who has been in Triple-A Memphis since April 7, broke […]

Matthew Boyd To Face Three Lefties Wednesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd will face three left-handed hitters in his start against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday: Shohei Ohtani, Brian Goodwin, and Kole Calhoun. The Angels are sending out an identical lineup to Tuesday. Boyd would be a must-start in any standard league against the Angels regardless, but it helps even […]

J.D. Davis Starts As Todd Frazier Sits

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis is starting on Wednesday for the first time since Saturday, as fellow Mets third baseman Todd Frazier gets the day off. Davis is batting sixth and has good power in his bat (three home runs and a Statcast-expected slugging rate of .527), but is not a DFS play […]

Cal Quantrill Returns To Triple-A

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Cal Quantrill was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, making room on the active roster for relief pitcher Gerardo Reyes. Quantrill posted a 3.60 ERA with three walks and eight strikeouts over 10 innings during two starts in his first MLB action. He will be back at some point, […]

Gerardo Parra Signs With Nationals

The Washington Nationals signed free-agent outfielder Gerardo Parra to an undisclosed major league deal on Wednesday. The veteran outfielder was cut by the Giants after posting a slash line of .198/.278/.267 with a homer, six RBI and two stolen bases in 30 games for San Fran. At best, he'll provide his new team with outfield […]

Wil Myers Taking A Day Off

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. In his place, Manuel Margot will patrol center field and bat seventh against Mets starting pitcher Wilmer Font. Margot will be a DFS sleeper but without a ton of upside hitting near the bottom of the order. The 24-year-old has 26 […]

Kolten Wong, Harrison Bader Out Against Phils

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong and outfielder Harrison Bader are not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Yairo Munoz will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth, while Dexter Fowler is starting in center field and hitting seventh against Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff. Munoz is hitting .333 this year in 18 […]

Howie Kendrick Not Playing Wednesday

Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Adrian Sanchez draws into the lineup and will start at first base while hitting seventh against Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff. Sanchez only has four at-bats on the season and hit .276/.288/.345 with no homers and three RBI in 28 games for […]

Ji-Man Choi, Kevin Kiermaier Out Against Lefty

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier are out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against Diamondbacks left-handed starter Robbie Ray. Yandy Diaz is at first and is hitting leadoff, while Guillermo Heredia is in center field and batting ninth. Heredia has very limited fantasy upside and will be one to […]

Christian Walker Resting Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Wilmer Flores is starting at first base and is batting sixth against Rays starting pitcher Charlie Morton. Flores got off to a bad start this year but has picked things up of late and is now hitting .265/.311/.388 with two home […]

Miguel Sano Looking Good On Rehab Assignment

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (heel) had three hits for Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday night and is now hitting .400/.440/.800 with two home runs and eight RBI in 25 plate appearances for Pensacola and High-A Fort Myers on his rehab assignment. The power hitter's return could be on the horizon, and he's certainly worth […]

Alex Wood Out Until June

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Alex Wood (back) will be sidelined until at least June, according to Reds manager David Bell. Wood underwent another examination on his back last week and plans to begin throwing again in about two weeks. The 28-year-old posted nine wins and a 3.68 ERA in 151 2/3 innings with the Dodgers […]

Brandon Lowe Hits Eighth Homer

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe hit his eighth home run in the Rays win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. He finished the day 2-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI. This brings his season numbers up to .311/.366/.597 with eight home runs and three stolen bases. Lowe has been one of the […]

Ty France Pops First Big League Homer

San Diego Padres third baseman Ty France launched his first career homer Tuesday against the New York Mets. France’s fourth-inning shot was a two-run blast and he finished the evening 2-for-3 with a walk. France posted gaudy numbers in Triple-A prior to his call-up and has registered a .772 OPS and 35 percent strikeout rate […]

Michael Perez Lands On Injured List

The Tampa Bay Rays placed catcher Michael Perez on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right oblique strain and recalled catcher Nick Ciuffo from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Perez first felt the strain during batting practice and was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday. Because Perez caught the injury before it […]

Gerardo Parra Progressing Toward Deal With Nationals

Free-agent outfielder Gerardo Parra is progressing toward a deal with the Washington Nationals, according to multiple sources. The 32-year-old was designated for assignment by the Giants on May 3 after batting just .198 through 86 at-bats to start the season. The Nationals will get Juan Soto back this weekend, so Parra will serve as a […]
