Ji-Man Choi Provides Key Blow Versus Indians Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi struck the major offensive blow of the game Wednesday versus Cleveland. His first-inning two-run homer would end up being the game-winner in a 3-1 victory. Choi had three HR in his past three games and seven since his July 11 when he was called up most recently. He […]

Joe Mauer's Career May Be Winding Down

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer may consider hanging up his cleats after the season. The 35-year-old will take his time after the season to consider a multitude of factors before deciding if he will return in 2019. The veteran is batting .274 on the season but has only seven home runs and 43 RBI […]

Greg Bird Breaks Up No-Hitter

The New York Yankees offense did not show up in Wednesday night's series finale against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. While struggling ace Luis Severino pitched quite well, the offense failed to record a hit through the first seven innings. After Luke Voit reached on a walk with one out, however, fellow first baseman […]

Matt Olson Hits 26th Homer Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson hit his 26th homer of the year off Andrew Cashner in a 10-0 win over the Orioles. The first baseman went 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI. He has recently been an all-or-nothing play and will probably stay that way for the remainder of the season. Even though […]

Hunter Dozier Scratched Wednesday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Hunter Dozier (back) was scratched from the starting lineup with a sore back on Wednesday. Ryan O'Hearn will fill in at first base and bat ninth against White Sox starter Carlos Rodon. Dozier is getting playing time in a lost season for the Royals. He's batting just .233 with nine […]

Jose Ramirez Gets Cleveland's Only Hit of the Day

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez got the only hit of the day for his team, hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning. Rays starter Blake Snell was throwing a no-hitter before Ramirez came up to ruin it. The Cleveland hitters were unable to get any other hits after Ramirez's blast. It was his […]

Brandon Belt Will Play On Wednesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) will be in Wednesday’s lineup versus the Atlanta Braves. Belt was sidelined on Tuesday with right knee soreness, but did appear as a pinch-hitter. Belt will bat fourth on Wednesday versus Anibal Sanchez. Belt got off to a hot start this year, but has struggled in the […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

On deck for today? One of the last doubleheader slates of the year - and this is one of just a few times in recent memory that both slates have been worth playing. The early slate (4 game) features a ridiculous amount of pitching talent and the eight game Main slate has a solid offering […]

There are a plethora of games today, although DraftKings broke those games down into two slate. Overall, there are 15 games, but this article will only focus on the later slate.

Joe Mauer Hits Grand Slam On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in his team's 10-5 win over the New York Yankees on Tuesday.

Victor Caratini Picks Up A Pair Of RBI On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs catcher Victor Caratini came through with two RBI on Tuesday in the Cubs victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Caratini finished the game 2-for-3. The backstop was filling in for Willson Contreras as he received the day off. Caratini now has 20 RBI, but should remain on the waiver wire as he plays behind […]

Brandon Belt Still Dealing With Knee Soreness

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) remains out of the lineup again on Tuesday due to more knee soreness. With the Giants not in playoff contention, Belt will likely see many more rest days down the stretch, and he could need offseason surgery to fix his knee. Don't expect much meaningful contributions from […]

Ryder Jones To Have Multiple Procedures Wednesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Ryder Jones (knee), who will have surgery to fix his patella on Wednesday, will also have a cleanup procedure to fix tendinitis in the same knee. He expects to hit off a tee and take ground balls by Christmas after his knee was bugging him all season. Jones was going […]

Matt Davidson Out With General Soreness

Chicago White Sox third baseman/first baseman Matt Davidson is out of the lineup on Tuesday with general soreness after playing first base extensively when Jose Abreu was on the shelf. Davidson has now been on the bench the last two games. The slugging corner infielder has 20 homers and 58 RBI on the year, but […]

Ian Desmond is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Desmond will get a breather and he has poor career numbers against Tuesday's starter Zack Greinke anyway. Ryan McMahon will play first base and bat seventh versus the veteran righty Greinke. McMahon does not have […]

Greg Bird is Back on The Bench

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Bird started on Monday and went 0-for-3, so he'll return to the bench on Tuesday. Luke Voit will play first base and bat seventh against righty Tyler Duffey. Voit is a solid fantasy option […]

Steve Pearce is Starting on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Pearce has seen his playing time decrease lately, but he really only plays against left-handed pitching. He is hitting .346/.436/.605 with four home runs and 14 RBI off lefty pitching this season. He'll bat […]

Joey Votto is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It appears that the Reds are just giving Votto a breather on Tuesday. Brandon Dixon will play first base and bat seventh versus lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu. Dixon is not worth a look in DFS […]

Freddie Freeman Tallies Third Straight Multi-Hit Game

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 2-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants. The 28-year-old has bounced back after a mini-slump towards the end of August as Freeman has a .346 average in his last seven games. His numbers for the season are stellar as he is […]

Jose Abreu Tallies Three Hits In Return To Lineup

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu was 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Abreu had missed the past three weeks recovering from a testicular torsion issue. The 31-year-old has had another solid season at the plate. Abreu is slashing .276/.334/.493 with 22 homers, 78 RBI, and […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 24

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 […]

Joey Votto Drives In Two Runs On Monday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto stayed hot at the plate in his team's 10-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. Votto went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run double off of Dodgers starter Alex Wood to help lead his team to victory. Votto has been swinging the bat well of late, […]
