Charlie Blackmon Homers Again

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon was a sticking point for a lot of fantasy owners last week when he had yet to hit a home run even though half of April was gone. Six days later, he's added 12 hits and three round-trippers to his season totals. He's also knocked a pair of triples and […]

Trevor Story Extends Hit Streak To 13 Games

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Will Make Major League Debut On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will make his MLB debut on Friday against the Oakland Athletics.

Amed Rosario Back in the Lineup Wednesday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rosario had missed the last two games due to illness, but appears back on track to play on Wednesday. He'll bat seventh and play shortstop versus righty Vince Velasquez. Rosario isn't a great fantasy option […]

Chris Davis Will Rest on Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Davis will get the off day after going 2-for-4 on Tuesday. Renato Nunez will play first base and bat cleanup versus righty Ervin Santana. Nunez could be a cheap DFS option against the struggling […]

Zack Cozart Scratched from Lineup

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees. Cozart was expected to return on Wednesday, but neck stiffness will sideline him. David Fletcher will bat first and play third base, while Tommy La Stella slides over to second base and bats ninth versus […]

Yonder Alonso Sitting Against Lefty

Chicago White Sox first baseman Yonder Alonso (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Castillo is not much of a fantasy option for DFS […]

Adam Jones is Out on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jones has been hitting well for the D-Backs this season, so this is likely just a normal rest day. Blake Swihart will get the start in right field and bat sixth versus righty Jordan Lyles. Swihart […]

Zack Cozart in the Lineup on Wednesday

The Phillies called up Rodriguez after he hit .267/.327/.622 with four homers during 12 games in the minors. Rodriguez will bat seventh and play shortstop versus lefty Jason Vargas on Wednesday. He's not much of a fantasy […]

David Bote Activated Off Paternity List

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote (personal) has been activated off the paternity-leave list on Wednesday. His wife gave birth to his first child, so Bote missed Tuesday's contest. However, he's available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Daniel Descalso will bat first and play second base against righty Walker Buehler. […]

Corey Dickerson Throws on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (shoulder) has resumed his throwing program on Wednesday. Dickerson was able to throw off flat ground and hit without any issues.

Jonathon Niese Signs with Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have added depth with the signing of veteran pitcher Jonathon Niese on Wednesday. The veteran lefty has been pitching with the Long Island Ducks of the independent league.

Eduardo Nunez Could Start Rehab Assignment Soon

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (back) took around 300 swings on Tuesday and could start a minor league rehab assignment in the coming days. The Red Sox could get Nunez, Brock Holt (eye) and Dustin Pedroia (knee) back in short order, which will mean that rookie Michael Chavis will likely head back to the […]

Dustin Pedroia Works Out Wednesday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) hit and did some running on Wednesday. Pedroia is on the 10-day injured list, but the team won't rush him back after he missed all of last season recovering from knee surgery.

Starling Marte Healing Well, Erik Gonzalez Has Surgery

The Pittsburgh Pirates are receiving different news from Starling Marte (abdomen) and Erik Gonzalez (collarbone) after their nasty collision last week.

The 27-year-old suffered a fractured left clavicle and will head for […]

Brock Holt To Resume Rehab

After suffering a setback in his rehab assignment last week, Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) is set to renew the assignment this upcoming weekend.

Marcell Ozuna Goes Yard on Wednesday Afternoon

St. Louis Cardinals closer Jordan Hicks got a quick save on Wednesday, recording just one out but notching his seventh save of the season. Hicks only threw five pitches, striking out the lone batter he faced after coming into the game with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. It was the definition of slamming […]

Adam Wainwright Earns a Win on Wednesday Afternoon

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright evened his record at 2-2 with a win on Wednesday afternoon. He tossed six innings, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out three. Wainwright has seemingly either been great or awful this season, bringing his ERA to a mediocre 3.96. He's a risky […]

Jose Ramirez Has a Monster Game on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez had an excellent day at the plate on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with four RBI and a run scored. Ramirez hit a home run in the first inning, then added a double and a single later on, finishing a triple shy of the cycle. Ramirez started off slow this season as […]

Ben Zobrist Sitting Wednesday

Chicago Cubs utility man Ben Zobrist is not in Wednesday's starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Daniel Descalso will start at second base […]

Jefry Rodriguez Spins a Gem on Wednesday Afternoon

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Jefry Rodriguez was excellent on Wednesday afternoon, tossing seven innings while allowing just one run on three hits and two walks. He struck out three and threw just 91 pitches. Rodriguez wasn't overpowering, but he kept the Marlins "offense" off balance and never really got into real trouble. He's filled in […]

Joey Wendle Suffers Broken Wrist

It has been a rough start to the 2019 campaign for Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle, who just can't seem to get healthy. Starting on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals, the 28-year-old was struck in the right wrist by Jakob Junis and has been diagnosed with a wrist fracture. Wendle had just returned […]
