New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (heel) has ramped up his baseball activities this weekend and could return to the team this week, per manager Aaron Boone. Gregorius has been out since August 21 with a heel injury but has hit .270 with 22 home runs, 74 RBI, and 10 stolen bases this season, so […]

Marcell Ozuna Back In Lineup, Batting Fourth Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (shoulder) is batting fourth and playing left field in Sunday's game against the Reds. Ozuna was activated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday but did not play, so this will be his first action since returning. While relatively disappointing, Ozuna has put up decent numbers this season, posting a […]

Albert Almora Jr., Ben Zobrsit Out Of Lineup Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) and utility man Ben Zobrist (rest) are not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Nothing was reported in terms of injuries, so it appears to be just a routine day off. Daniel Murphy will start at second with Ian Happ patrolling center field with Kris […]

Giancarlo Stanton Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Tigers

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Tigers. Stanton had played in 85 straight games per MLB.com's Joe Trezza, so this is merely a well-deserved day off. Gary Sanchez will hit in the DH spot with Brett Gardner and Andrew McCutchen manning the corner […]

Dansby Swanson Batting .314 Over Past 15 Games

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 2-for-3 with a solo homer on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Swanson has definitely rediscovered the pop in his bat as six of his 14 home runs this season have come in his past 18 games. The former first-overall pick is unquestionably having the best season of his […]

Kevin Gausman Pitches Well In No-Decision

Atlanta Braves starter Kevin Gausman went six innings on Saturday night, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits. He struck out four batters and did not issue a walk. If not for Charlie Culberson's error in the fifth inning (which cashed two unearned runs), perhaps Gausman could have had an even better fate. Regardless, […]

Justin Smoak Homers For Fourth Straight Game

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Justin Smoak homered for his fourth straight game on Saturday night. Smoak belted a two-run shot off of Miami Marlins reliever Tayron Guerrero in the ninth inning, but it was not enough as the Jays still lost 6-3. This is a fantastic stretch for Smoak, as he was falling off a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/2/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Due to some later start times we've got a smaller, eight game slate this Sunday on DraftKings. There were also a few pitchers to have their starts moved, including Max Scherzer, Kyle Gibson, and Pablo Lopez. Because of this many games don't have totals in as of writing this. In this article, I will be […]

Marco Estrada Continues To Be Terrible

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada imploded again on Saturday night. The Miami Marlins tagged him for six runs on eight hits in just 4 1/3 innings. Estrada struck out a single batter while walking three. Estrada has allowed less than three runs only once in his last seven starts. During that timeframe, he has […]

Khris Davis Reaches 40 Homers For Third Straight Season

Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis homered in a comeback that fell short in an 8-7 loss to the Mariners Saturday. Davis leads the majors in homers with 40; he is second only to J.D. Martinez in RBI (105). This was the third straight season that he has surpassed 40 HR and 100 RBI. He is […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Goes Deep On Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had a triple and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. After a dismal offensive start to the season, Bradley has really picked it up at the plate. In his past 30 games, the 28-year-old has a .291 average to go along […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier has found a way into the lineup and onto the fantasy radar. The Pirates have fallen out of the playoff race in recent weeks, but it is not for lack of effort or results from Frazier. […]

Joey Wendle (2B/3B/OF, TB) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Since June 28, Tampa Bay Rays utility man Joey Wendle has failed to record a hit in just eight of 50 games played, and one of those was just a pinch-hit appearance. A two-hit night on Saturday gave him 19 such efforts […]

Adalberto Mondesi (2B/SS, KC) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Kansas City Royals middle infielder Adalaberto Mondesi has been one of the best waiver wire pickups over the last weeks because of his speed and average. An 0-for-4 performance brought an end to a four-game multi-hit streak for Mondesi. He blasted a […]

The Cut List (Week 23): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 23 of the Cut List. Corey Dickerson, Michael Conforto, Maikel Franco, and Max Kepler should be cut in all standard league formats as we head into playoff time. You should be scouring the free agent list so you can put yourself in the best position to win each day. Believe me, the […]

Trey Mancini (1B/OF, BAL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Patience is key, particularly with young sophomore players. Realistically, it isn’t patience as much as it is striking while the iron is hot in this case. Very few managers likely held onto Mancini during his rough patches this season (May-July). Mancini has rewarded those been […]

Wilmer Flores (1B/2B/3B, NYM) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: Flores has had a decent go of it this year and the results were likely more than most had expected. He has 11 homers, 48 RBI, and a .272 average. Additionally, as a utility player, he has earned positional eligibility all over […]

Tyler White (1B, HOU) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler White was first introduced when his ownership level was at 2%. Though his ownership has risen, he is still under-owned. White routinely bats in the middle third of one of the best lineups in the league. Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and George Springer have all returned […]

Johan Camargo (2B/3B/SS, ATL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is anyone's guess who is more surprised, the Braves organization or fantasy baseball managers. Johan Camargo has been a revelation this season. His performance hasn’t been one that single-handedly carries your team to a championship, but he definitely is a contributing […]

Tyler Austin (1B, MIN) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Austin was acquired by the Twins from the Yankees to serve as a power bat against left-handed pitchers. While his performance against righties hasn’t been very good, it seems to be enough for the team to give him more regular playing […]

Logan Forsythe Picks Up Three Hits

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in his team's 7-4 loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Forsythe, a colossal disappointment in his tenure with the Los Angeles Dodgers, has performed reasonably well since being acquired by the Twins at the trade deadline. The veteran infielder is […]

Scooter Gennett Stays Hot On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett has been red-hot at the plate of late. Gennett picked up two hits in four at-bats and scored a run on Saturday, giving him four multi-hit games over his past five contests.

Now is the time to do another in-depth analysis to find out exactly what you need to make yourself competitive or move up in certain categories. The corner infield positions traditionally […]

Kris Bryant Produces In Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) made his first start of his return from injury Saturday versus Philadelphia. He would collect two hits and score a key run as he shows he is still a really good hitter. He has returned along with Addison Russell to create a logjam at three positions (3B, 2B, […]

Ben Zobrist Drives In A Run Versus Philadelphia Saturday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist continued to produce for his team Saturday versus the Phillies. Over his past 10 games, Zobrist has collected 14 hits to continue to be a standout in that category. He is batting .310 on the season which has him in the top-5 of the National League. He has 59 […]

Yohander Mendez To Make a Spot Start Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yohander Mendez will make a spot start in the place of Bartolo Colon (illness) Sunday. Mendez has made one start so far this season and he struggled a lot. His one start came in June against the Colorado Rockies, giving up six earned runs in just three innings. Mendez has had […]
