Eddie Rosario is Back on Saturday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Rosario received a rest day on Friday, but is refreshed and ready to play on Saturday. He'll play left field and bat cleanup versus lefty J.A. Happ. Rosario might not be the best DFS option for […]

DJ LeMahieu Returns to the Lineup on Saturday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (knee) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. LeMahieu has been out of the lineup since Monday after fouling a ball off his knee during Sunday's contest. LeMahieu will bat first and play second base versus righty Jake Odorizzi. He'll be a […]

Willson Contreras Will Sit On Saturday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will get Saturday off versus the Cardinals. It’s just a routine day off for one of the best backstops in the game. Taylor Davis will replace Contreras and bat eighth. Davis will face off versus Michael Wacha and is nothing more than a dart throw in DFS.

Miguel Andujar Activated Off Injured List

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Andujar suffered a small tear in his labrum shortly after Opening Day. The Yankees will have Andujar mostly serve as the designated hitter in order to protect his shoulder. However, Andujar will play third base and bat […]

Adam Rosales Has Been Traded to the Indians

Minnesota Twins infielder Adam Rosales has been traded to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for cash considerations. Rosales has not played in the MLB this season, but that could change quickly. However, Rosales was hitting .194/.263/.222 in Triple-A, so he wasn't off to the best start. The Indians will send Rosales to Triple-A, and if […]

Tzu-Wei Lin Placed on 10-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox infielder Tzu-Wei Lin (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Lin suffered a left knee injury while attempting to steal a base on Friday. The Red Sox will have Lin undergo further testing to determine how long he will be sidelined. He doesn't have much fantasy value, so this won't […]

Luke Gregerson Activated on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Gregerson has not pitched in the MLB this season, but should be a key part to the Red Birds bullpen. Gregerson struggled last season, so the Cardinals will likely start him out in middle relief. However, Gregerson […]

James Paxton is Placed on Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Paxton left after just three innings during Friday's start due to left knee inflammation. The Yankees will have Paxton undergo an MRI, so a better idea about his timetable will be known later. Righty Jake Barrett has been recalled […]

Tyler Anderson May Be Leaving Rotation Soon

Colorado Rockies lefty Tyler Anderson has been getting lit up all across the country so far this season, and his return to Coors Field on Friday was no different. Anderson was battered for six earned runs in four innings, including two home runs and five total extra-base hits. That brings Anderson's season-long ERA to 11.76, […]

Ryan McMahon Hits Pinch-Hit Home Run

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon had the day off on Friday, but manager Bud Black decided to use him as a pinch hitter for reliever Bryan Shaw when his turn came up in the sixth inning. It turned out to be the right move. McMahon hammered a 1-2 offering from T.J. McFarland over the […]

Charlie Blackmon Drills Fourth Homer

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon led a failed comeback attempt on Friday by knocking out his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth. Unfortunately, the team fell a run short anyway. Blackmon has been hitting at a torrid pace since recovering from his slow start, and he's […]

Eduardo Nunez To Join Red Sox Saturday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (back) is expected to be activated on Saturday prior to the game against the White Sox. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox are expected to send Tzu-Wei Lin to the injured list with a knee injury. Lin has not been fantasy relevant, however, Nunez’s presence on the roster brings […]

Tyler Glasnow Goes Seven Innings In Sixth Win

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow earned his sixth win Friday night over the Orioles. He threw seven shutout innings, striking out eight, walking none and allowing three hits. This seems like a copy-and-paste post, just against a different team and they shouldn’t be expected to stop. Glasnow has been absolutely filthy through his […]

Kevin Cash Has Big Plans For Nathaniel Lowe

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has only played in five Major League games, but his manager Kevin Cash had good words for him on the “Power Alley” segment on MLB Network Radio. Cash praised Lowe’s attitude and interaction with his new teammates, but more importantly said that Lowe will be a mainstay in the […]

Rafael Devers Stays Hot

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers put the Red Sox ahead in the first inning with a three-run homer on Friday night. Despite this being his first home run of the year, Devers has been very consistent lately. He has a .356 batting average and .434 on-base percentage in the last two weeks with […]

Chris Sale Earns First Win

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale earned his first win of the season Friday night against his former team, the Chicago White Sox. He finished the night after six shutout innings, striking out 10 and allowing three hits and one walk. It took him 104 pitches to get through the six innings, but it’s […]

Anthony Rizzo Stays Hot

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo stayed hot on Friday by going 3-for-3 with a walk. Rizzo hit a three-run bomb and it was his third straight game with a home run. Rizzo is now 10 for his last 21 with four home runs and nine RBI.

Kyle Hendricks Goes The Distance

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks threw an 81-pitch shutout on Friday versus the Cardinals. Hendricks was dominant and only allowed four hits (all singles) and struck out three on the afternoon. Hendricks also did not issue a walk in the contest. This was an encouraging start for both Hendricks and fantasy owners after Hendricks […]

Sonny Gray Takes No-Decision On Friday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray wasn't at his finest in a no-decision against the San Francisco Giants on Friday. Gray allowed three runs over five innings with two strikeouts and three walks. His bullpen let him down as he was in line for a win when he departed after the fifth inning. Gray now has […]

Derek Dietrich Homers Twice In Loss

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Derek Dietrich turned in a big night at the plate in a 12-11 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday. Dietrich went 3-for-4 with two homers and six RBI in the loss. The veteran second baseman went deep for a two-run shot in the first inning and then again in […]

Nick Senzel Singles, Walks Twice In Debut

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel went 1-for-5 with a run scored and two walks in his MLB debut on Friday. The top prospect, who was called up earlier in the day on Friday, got the start in center field and hit second in the lineup. Senzel's first hit, a single, came on a slow roller […]

Renato Nunez (3B, BAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Renato Nunez was a trendy pick-up a few weeks ago after a few homers put him in the spotlight. He’s tallied six total bombs on the season but the power dried up in the last nine games which were mostly on the road. Nunez will […]

Wilson Ramos Provides Lone Run In Friday Loss

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos gave his club a first-inning lead Friday night at Miller Park, but the Milwaukee Brewers would quickly recover and eventually prevail. The 31-year-old Ramos drove in the first run of the game with a single to right. It would be his only hit from the five spot in the […]

Steven Matz Takes Loss On Quiet Night

Although he was pounded for nine hits, New York Mets starter Steven Matz's fate came down to two mistakes Friday night in Milwaukee. Taking on the Brewers, the New York native allowed a solo home run in the first and a two-run jack in the fifth. Aside from the nine hits and three earned runs, […]

Jonathan Holder Earns Win In Relief

After New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton exited following just three innings with a knee injury, the Yankees went to Jonathan Holder out of the bullpen Friday night at Yankee Stadium. The 25-year-old's season thus far can be split in half in terms of productivity. While he allowed at least one run in six of […]

Yankees Hopeful James Paxton's Injury Isn't Serious

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that starting pitcher James Paxton's knee has been "nagging" him in his previous starts, but it became more of a problem on Friday when he was pulled from the game. Boone is "hopeful that it's just some soreness," but the club will find out after he undergoes an […]

Gary Sanchez Smacks A Pair Of Home Runs Friday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez recorded three hits Friday night in the Bronx, but two of them effectively put the game away. The 26-year-old went for two home runs against the Minnesota Twins, both bombs that measured over 400 feet. Sanchez has recently returned from injury and is looking much more like his former […]

Giancarlo Stanton To Ramp Up Activities Monday

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that the next two days will be "fairly light" for outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (biceps, shoulder), and the team hopes he can ramp up his activities on Monday. Stanton should be able to return sometime this month, but there remains no firm timetable for his return. The elite power […]
