Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler will sit Thursday's game against the Yankees. He will take a seat while catcher Salvador Perez (head) handles designated hitter duties on Thursday.

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman is the team's projected No. 1 tight end as both a pass-catcher and standout blocker after the Saints parted ways with veteran Jared Cook and Josh Hill this offseason.

San Diego Padres catcher Victor Caratini went 1-for-2 with a home run, walk and two RBI Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (head) is batting third and will serve as the team's designated hitter in Thursday's game against the Yankees.

The 31-year-old avoided a concussion but will get […]

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that tight end Ian Thomas had "a tremendous offseason" after disappointing in 2020 (20-145-1). "He looks explosive. He looks athletic," Rhule added.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/24/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Greetings RotoBallers! We have a smaller eight-game slate tonight rather than the usual double-digit game slate. Personally, I prefer these smaller slates as if nothing else, it gives me less to sift through. If you are looking for a game stack, look no further than Baltimore at Toronto as both starting pitchers have an ERA […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/24/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have an 8-game main slate on tap tonight, and there should be hitting for days. After Walker Buehler and a few other arms, the pitching landscape is very messy.

Qadree Ollison Carving Out A Bigger Role?

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison could be creating a spot for himself in the offense this year. The third-year back from Pittsburgh impressed the coaching staff during spring workouts, although lead back Mike Davis was not in attendance and players weren't going full speed. Ollison has just 23 career carries for 53 yards and […]

Manny Machado Crushes Sixth Homer In June

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Gleyber Torres Sitting On Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Torres is in the midst of a brutal 1-for-26 stretch that has lowered his season average down to .246. One area where he has taken a step back is his performance against fastballs, which has lagged […]

Joe Musgrove Sets Up Friars For Sweep Of Dodgers

San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove tossed six frames of two-run ball (one earned) Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The right-hander fanned five while permitting just two hits and two walks, settling with a no-decision after the bullpen relinquished his lead before the Friars eventually secured the sweep. After 15 starts and 85 innings […]

Juwann Winfree Making A Run For A Roster Spot

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Juwann Winfree, a former sixth-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2019, caught plenty of passes in organized team activities and minicamp this spring and looks to be making a strong run at a spot on the active roster. Winfree has played in just five career NFL games, though, and […]

Gio Urshela Remains Out Thursday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (leg) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Kansas City Royals. Urshela will miss his second straight game as he deals with a leg injury after being hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game. Urshela should still be considered day-to-day moving forward. DJ LeMahieu will […]

Marquise Goodwin Still A Deep Threat

Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin only signed a one-year deal worth $350,000 in guaranteed money this offseason, but he still has elite speed. Goodwin took the top off the Bears defense on multiple occasions during offseason practices for what would have been long touchdown catches. Along with second-year receiver Darnell Mooney, Goodwin might give […]

Andre Dillard On A Mission

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Andre Dillard (biceps) says he has a fire in him like never before after he missed all of last season with a biceps injury.

Skye Bolt Collects RBI, Run Scored In Loss

Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday.

What's up, RotoBallers! We have made it to lucky Week 13, and I'm happy to report that Week 12 was a positive one for the books. We didn't have any massive nights to boost our profits skyward (though Monday was very close), but six out of the 7 nights were positive, and I'm confident that […]

Seth Brown Collects Hit Versus Rangers On Wednesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Brown had his chance to grab a starting role earlier in the season, but he's fallen back into a crowded outfield mix in Oakland and isn't getting enough playing time to justify a roster spot in fantasy. […]

Sean Murphy Homers Again In Loss At Texas

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy launched his 10th homer of the season Wednesday in a loss to the Rangers. Murphy got off to a brutal start to the season, but has been swinging a hot stick in June as he's got five homers and a .603 slugging percentage this month after hitting just five homers […]

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian allowed two runs on five hits across six innings pitched versus the Rangers on Wednesday. Kaprielian picked up four strikeouts and walked a batter.

Luke Voit Delivers Game-Winning Hit

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit went 1-for-5 with an RBI single and three strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Kansas City Royals.
