Ronald Guzman Sits Out Against Indians

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Guzman has not done much at the plate this season, so this is possibly Texas trying to shake things up. Logan Forsythe will bat eighth and play first base versus righty Adam Plutko. Forsythe has […]

Joc Pederson Expected To Play Some First Base

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Joc Pederson is ramping up his work at first base and is expected to play there at some point this season, especially with outfielder A.J. Pollock (elbow) coming back from injury sometime next month. Pederson has slowed down somewhat after a really hot start to the […]

Miguel Cabrera is Out on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. There is no designated hitter available while playing in Pittsburgh, so Cabrera will sit this one out. Cabrera has been dealing with some nagging injuries, so we could see more rest from him as the […]

Trey Mancini Leaves Game Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini left the game after being hit by a pitch in the left arm Wednesday afternoon in Oakland. The extent of the injury is not currently known, but Mancini was in obvious pain around home plate and left the game holding his arm. Chris Davis came into the game to […]

Paul Goldschmidt Sitting Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is not in the lineup Wednesday against starter Trevor Richards and the Marlins. Goldschmidt is in the midst of a 1-for-23 slump and is hitting a measly .179 in June so the star first baseman could probably use a night off. The good news for fantasy owners is Goldschmidt […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 12

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Ryan Zimmerman Running The Bases

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) ran the bases on Tuesday and will do so again on Wednesday. If he comes out of that without setbacks, the Nationals can start thinking about sending him on a rehab assignment. Zimmerman has been out since April 27 with plantar fasciitis and was hitting just .213/.302/.373 with […]

Jake Bauers Gets Three Hits on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers had a strong game on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and a double. He scored two runs and recorded an RBI. Bauers has had some enormous games this season, but has been mostly inconsistent overall. He's hitting .236/.314/.403, and looks like a better DFS option that a […]

Edwin Encarnacion Hits First Yankees Home Run

The New York Yankees secured a series victory and extended their AL East lead once again Tuesday night in the Bronx.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees.

Another Bomber Comes to the Bronx - Edwin Encarnacion Relocates

Even beset by injuries on all fronts, including to core-performers Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Luis Severino, the New York Yankees have managed to stay on top in the American League East.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: You'll be forgiven if Miami outfielder Garrett Cooper hasn't been on your radar.
