Joey Wendle Won't Be Ready Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle will not be ready for game action once he is eligible to come off of the injured list on Thursday. Manager Kevin Cash noted that he should be back shortly after that timetable. This will likely keep Yandy Diaz and Brandon Lowe in line for everyday at-bats with Daniel […]

Josh Fuentes Called Up From Triple-A

The Colorado Rockies called up first baseman Josh Fuentes from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to replace Ryan McMahon (elbow). It was Fuentes' first major league game, and he successfully smacked a single in his pinch-hit at-bat. Fuentes was the MVP of the Pacific Coast League last season, as he hit .327 with 14 home runs, […]

Ryan McMahon Placed On Injured List

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon was placed on the Injured List on Saturday with a left elbow strain. McMahon injured himself while attempting to reach a poor throw by third baseman Nolan Arenado on Friday, but no timetable is currently set for his return. McMahon had been off to a slow start, but he should […]

Ryan Braun and Jesus Aguilar Not Playing On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun and first baseman Jesus Aguilar will sit in Sunday's series finale with the Chicago Cubs. Ben Gamel will start in Braun's place and bat seventh, while Eric Thames will start at first and bat in the five spot. Gamel has mainly been in reserve duty this year and is […]

Joey Votto Out Of Lineup, Derek Dietrich To Start

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto will sit on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, while Derek Dietrich will draw the start at first and bat fifth. It's likely a standard day off for Votto, who is hitting just .233 and hit his first home run of the season on Saturday. Dietrich will be seeing his […]

Khris Davis Gets Rest Day On Sunday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis will take a seat from Sunday's lineup against the Houston Astros. Kendrys Morales will move from first base and start at designated hitter and bat fourth, while Chad Pinder will start at first and bat fifth against starter Brad Peacock. This will serve as Davis' first off day this […]

Jay Bruce Out Of Lineup On Sunday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jay Bruce will sit in Sunday's series finale against the White Sox. This comes off of a two-home run game from Bruce on Saturday, but the 32-year-old is batting just .184 this year with five home runs. Edwin Encarnacion will man first base for the first time this season and bat […]

Aledmys Diaz Starting At First Base And Batting Seventh

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz is making his first career start at first base and will bat seventh on Sunday against Oakland. In turn, Yuli Gurriel will receive the day off. Sunday will also mark Diaz's first game action since last Sunday, and he has yet to record a hit through nine at-bats this season. […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 2

The first official week of fantasy baseball is coming to an end and many of you are celebrating your draft hits and lamenting the misses. Realistically, there is no way to definitively know whether you made the correct decision or not for at least another month. It's a tormenting feeling at times because you may […]

The Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

Although we are only one week into the baseball season, some of the players you may have drafted in the mid-to-late rounds of standard 10 and 12-teamers are probably not quite working out. Because you didn't spend too much draft capital on them, you don't have to worry about sunk costs and you can, if […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Watch List

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 2 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Top 20 Impact Prospects for 2020 Dynasty Leagues

Prospect ranking is similar to picking stocks to invest in. With both areas of focus, you have to consider a number of variables, including overall long-term value, as well as how quickly you want or need a return. Investment advisors will often analyze an investor’s risk appetite to help choose the right investments. If you have […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/7/19): MLB DFS Lineups

After a double-slate on Saturday, we have one large Sunday slate. These are some of my favorite slates because it pushes ownership around, and significantly lessens chalk. It also allows for multiple ways to construct lineups in both cash games and tournaments. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup […]

Joey Votto Hits First Home Run

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in his team's 6-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Both the home run and the RBI go down as the first for Votto this season. The veteran is now hitting .233 with a .757 OPS and four runs in 30 at-bats […]

Jay Bruce Finds The Bleachers Twice

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jay Bruce clobbered a pair of solo home runs as the team went on to rout the White Sox 9-2 on Saturday afternoon. The left-handed slugger now has five dingers on the campaign to go along with 10 RBI, as he's putting a miserable 2018 in the rearview mirror. Despite the […]

Miguel Cabrera Collects Three Hits Saturday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera continued his efforts to pull out of an early-season slump on Saturday, collecting three base hits and a walk while driving in a run. Following Saturday's efforts, the veteran's batting average is now up to .226 on the year, which gives you an idea of how bad he was […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/6/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a full day of games but they are split into an early slate and a late slate, so I'll bring a few options from each slate. There is no super expensive pitcher on the slate, so you can look elsewhere if you want to spend down. In this article, I will be providing […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/6/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday brings us a strange day for DFS. There are really no stand out pitchers on either of the two main slates. Yes there are good pitchers but their matchups mean that there is no must use option. That presents some interesting strategies for GPP, as we could see a lot of the big bats […]

Edwin Encarnacion Returns To Action

Seattle Mariners slugger Edwin Encarnacion is back in the lineup for the first time since Monday, as he was dealing with a sore left hand. He's batting fifth in the designated hitter spot and is facing White Sox starter Lucas Giolito, who was no stranger to serving up the long ball in 2018. It's a […]

Joey Votto Picks Up A Double

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto went 1-for-4 with a double in his team's 2-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Votto, like much of the Cincinnati lineup, is off to a slow start this season. The All-Star is hitting just .200 with three doubles and three runs while still looking for his first […]

Yandy Diaz Smashes Homer, Breaks Bat

This isn't something that we see often. On Friday, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz blasted a home run off of Dereck Rodriguez, breaking his bat in the process. The third baseman completed his two-hit bid, racking up two RBI in the Rays win over the Giants. He'll continue to see everyday at-bats as Joey […]

Paul Goldschmidt Homers Again on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit his fifth home run of the season on Friday, finishing 1-for-3 with a walk. Goldschmidt has posted a gaudy 1.209 OPS in the early going, and should again be one of the best offensive pieces in fantasy this season.
