Jose Ramirez Crushes a Walk-Off Home Run on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez crushed a walk-off two-run home run on Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI. Maybe this will finally break him out of his slump for good. He's slashing just .205/.298/.318 on the season and hasn't put together any kind of a hot streak yet. He'll break out […]

Garrett Cooper Starting Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (hand) is starting a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter on Wednesday. He should be able to rejoin the team before long and could get semi-regular at-bats at either first base or in the outfield. The 28-year-old is hitless in his eight at-bats so far this year and has already […]

Daniel Descalso Still Not Ready For Full Game

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Descalso (ankle) is still a few days from being ready to play a full nine innings, according to president Theo Epstein. It's the reason why the team called up Addison Russell to play the keystone on Wednesday with Ben Zobrist (personal) away from the team. Descalso, 32, doesn't have a whole […]

Ryon Healy Rips Three Doubles in Offensive Outburst

Seattle Mariners corner infielder Ryon Healy took over the major league lead in doubles on Wednesday with a trio of them in their lopsided win. He went 4-for-5 on the night with a pair of runs scored and RBI as he now has 16 doubles on the year. We hope some of these convert to […]

Giants-Rockies Game Postponed Wednesday

The San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies game at Coors Field has been postponed due to inclement weather on Wednesday. The game is expected to be made up in July. Starters Derek Holland and Jon Gray are expected to be pushed back to Thursday for the series finale. Get whatever bats you have between the […]

Nathaniel Lowe Sent Back To Minors

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is being sent back to the minors on Wednesday. This is interesting news, as manager Kevin Cash has had nothing but good things to say about him and he has been off to a solid start. However, the Rays will need a spot for outfielder Austin Meadows (thumb), who […]

Ronald Guzman Will Be Activated on Friday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (hamstring) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list on Friday. Outfielder Delino DeShields was optioned to Triple-A after Wednesday's game. Guzman is currently rehabbing a right hamstring strain, but is expected to take DeShields' spot on the active roster. He will likely play just about every […]

Josh VanMeter Will DH on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Josh VanMeter will bat ninth and serve as the designated hitter versus lefty Brett Anderson on Wednesday. VanMeter was recently called up after hitting .336 with 13 home runs and 37 RBI in the minors through 30 games. VanMeter hit his way into the Reds lineup and could very well stay […]

Daniel Murphy is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Murphy was dealing with back stiffness over the weekend, but that doesn't appear to be holding him back anymore. This is most likely just a routine day off versus the left-handed starter. Mark Reynolds […]

Martin Prado is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Martin Prado (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It appears this is just a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Neil Walker will play first base and bat third versus righty Kyle Hendricks. Walker is a decent cheap option for DFS contests since […]

Eric Thames Collects Two Hits Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run and two walks in Wednesday's win over the Nationals. Thames has been ice-cold lately, as his average has dropped to .247, but Thames has been known to be a streaky hitter. Even with the power surge that Jesus Aguilar has […]

Albert Pujols Continues To Struggle

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols went 0-for-5 in the Angels 5-2 win on Tuesday. Despite the victory, Pujols continues to struggle and is slugging only .402 through 112 at-bats this season. Long gone are the days when the future Hall of Famer was an elite fantasy difference maker and now the return of […]

Chris Davis Off Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is not in Wednesday's lineup against Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. Even with Sale struggling overall this year, Davis notably has as well, so it makes sense he's sitting out against a left-hander. Trey Mancini is at first base batting third and Renato Nunez has designated hitter […]

Mitch Moreland Reaches Double-Digit Homers

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland hit a three-run home run to lift the Red Sox over the Orioles on Tuesday. It was already his 10th homer of the year, as he’s gotten out to a powerful start despite hitting for a .215 batting average. It’s hard to justify his 15 percent ownership in […]

Howie Kendrick Not Playing Wednesday

Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Adrian Sanchez draws into the lineup and will start at first base while hitting seventh against Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff. Sanchez only has four at-bats on the season and hit .276/.288/.345 with no homers and three RBI in 28 games for […]

Ji-Man Choi, Kevin Kiermaier Out Against Lefty

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier are out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against Diamondbacks left-handed starter Robbie Ray. Yandy Diaz is at first and is hitting leadoff, while Guillermo Heredia is in center field and batting ninth. Heredia has very limited fantasy upside and will be one to […]

Christian Walker Resting Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Wilmer Flores is starting at first base and is batting sixth against Rays starting pitcher Charlie Morton. Flores got off to a bad start this year but has picked things up of late and is now hitting .265/.311/.388 with two home […]

Jesus Aguilar Will Rest on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The 28-year-old got off to an extremely slow start to begin the 2019 season, but over the past two weeks he's accumulated a .296 batting average to go along with three home runs and nine RBI. Eric […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 6

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 […]

DJ LeMahieu Delivers Walkoff Hit

The New York Yankees overcame a rain delay and ninth-inning deficit to emerge victorious Tuesday night in the Bronx. The winning hit came off the bat of infielder DJ LeMahieu, his first walkoff hit in the Yankees uniform. It was his second hit of the night to go with a pair of walks. While he's […]

C.J. Cron Will Rest on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cron hasn't hit overly well this season besides his six home runs, so the Twins will rest their struggling slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will slide over to first base and bat sixth against righty Aaron […]

Matt Olson is Activated on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Olson suffered a hamate bone fracture during the first series of the season. The Athletics haven't announced their lineup yet, but Olson is expected to be in it. Fantasy owners may want to be patient with Olson because […]

Daniel Descalso Still Hurting

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Descalso (ankle) remained out of the starting lineup on Monday after he was forced to leave the game on Saturday with soreness in his left ankle. He suffered the injury rounding first base on a single in the first inning, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. The 32-year-old veteran has been seeing […]
