Happy Sunday, gang! Hope you all had a great Saturday. We have a nice 12-game slate this afternoon, so let's jump right into it and see how we can optimize our DraftKings MLB DFS lineups.

Ji-Man Choi Has Four Hits In Win Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in a 13-3 win over the Angels on Saturday afternoon. Four hits was a season-high for Choi, who has been having a nice season so far after missing time due to injuries. Over 27 games this year, […]

Buster Posey Not In The Starting Lineup Saturday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (back) isn't in the team's lineup on Saturday. Posey wasn't in Friday's lineup either after being scratched due to back tightness.

Matt Adams Ready For Rehab Assignment Soon

Colorado Rockies first baseman Matt Adams (elbow) has been cleared to "ramp up his intensity" in his throwing program and should be ready for a rehab assignment soon, per beat writer Danielle Allentuck.

Jared Walsh Sitting Against Tampa Bay

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh is on the bench for Saturday's game at Tampa Bay with left-hander Shane McClanahan on the hill. Phil Gosselin, who is playing first base and hitting cleanup, makes a good spot play for fantasy managers with daily moves. The 32-year-old veteran has a 1.101 OPS against southpaws this […]

Josh Bell Back In Nationals Lineup On Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell (oblique) returns to the lineup on Saturday as the team continues a four-game series against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Zach Thompson.

Alex Kirilloff Belts Sixth Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff ended a seven-game stretch without a homer Friday in an 8-7 win over the Cleveland Indians.

The Bigger Picture - It Isn't Really a Marathon

"It's a marathon, not a sprint." This axiom is one of the most tired expressions in all of baseball and is often used to prevent us from ascribing significance to a slump. The baseball season is the longest among all professional sports, spanning 162 games and six months, not including spring training and postseason action. […]

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy continued his strong season by going 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's victory.

Buster Posey Out Of The Lineup On Friday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (back) is not in the starting lineup on Friday. The veteran is dealing with lower back tightness, although it isn't known precisely how severe it is. Curt Casali will get some work as the temporary backstop against the Athletics, but he doesn't offer much of an upside, so fantasy […]

Colin Moran Not In Starting Lineup Friday Night

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran is not in the starting lineup for Friday night's game with the Cardinals. It appears to be a night off for Moran, who has played in five of the team's last six games. He's missed time due to injuries, but when healthy he's put up decent numbers at the […]

Brandon Belt Placed On Injured List, Could Face Surgery

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with right knee inflammation, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

He should still be the starter at […]

Lewin Diaz Sent Back Down To Triple-A

Miami Marlins rookie first baseman Lewin Diaz was optioned back to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. With Garrett Cooper (back) returning from the injured list, the team needed to make room on the roster. Diaz flashed in some pinch hitting opportunities and looks like a guy who will definitely hit in his major league career, but […]
