He rejoined the Giants on Friday, but did not see any game action. Belt is expected to play on Saturday, but the lineup has not been officially announced yet. Regardless, Belt should be owned in just about […]

Jay Bruce Remains Out of the Lineup

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Bruce has missed three straight games since reporting his back soreness after Wednesday's contest. Bruce will be available off the bench on Saturday. He is expected to return to the starting lineup for Sunday's […]

Ian Desmond Punishes Rangers Pitching

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond has been slumping terribly all season, but nothing cheers up a player's bat like the opportunity to hit against bad pitching in a hitter-friendly park. Starting with a three-game set in Philly and now moving on to Texas, Desmond is hitting .313 with three home runs and four RBI. […]

John Hicks Knocks Sixth Home Run to Help Beat White Sox

Detroit Tigers first baseman/catcher John Hicks played a crucial role in Friday's victory over the Chicago White Sox. He hit his sixth homer of the year off of Reynaldo Lopez in the second inning, and later scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. Hicks went 2-for-4 on the night overall with two runs scored, […]

Mitch Moreland Batting .096 Over Past Eight Games

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland has come crashing back down to earth. Moreland endured a sizzling hot streak after Hanley Ramirez was released by the Red Sox, but the past week has been a struggle for the 32-year-old. Moreland is just 3-for-31 in his last eight games with only a single RBI. Moreland […]

Matt Adams Missing From Saturday's Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams was removed from yesterday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays after being hit on the hand by a pitch. Clearly, it is still bothering him as he is absent from Saturday's lineup as well. Adams is considered day-to-day. Daniel Murphy will start at first base in his absence. Adams, […]

Lucas Duda To Start Rehab On Sunday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda is poised to begin rehab with Triple-A Omaha on Sunday as he comes back from a flare-up of plantar fasciitis. Duda has been sidelined since May 14, and a condition like his is one that can come and go throughout a season. With the Royals losing outfielder Jorge […]

Here we are halfway through June and we’ve still got plenty of fresh faces on the watch list to go along with some repeats who just won’t seem to go away.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 12

Injuries suck. We've always known this, but the move to a 10-day disabled list last year along with numerous injuries to high-profile players this year have slapped fantasy owners in the face with the hard, cold hand of reality. Injuries can cause huge shifts in value for fantasy players, so it's always wise to assess […]

Hernan Perez Delivers Big Game In Win

Milwaukee Brewers utility player Hernan Perez went 3-for-5 with two runs, one home run, and one RBI in the 13-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Perez hasn't had many opportunities to start in games since the Brewers injury plague calmed down, however, looked great in the series opener against the Phillies. He doesn't hold any […]

Jesus Aguilar Hits Home Run Amidst Hitting Slump

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 1-for-4 with a sac fly and a two-run home run in the 13-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Aguilar has been struggling as of late in June, only hitting .214 with a .761 OPS, despite his 10 RBI. He should still be owned in most formats, and will […]

Matt Adams Leaves Game After HBP

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams left Friday's game against Toronto after being hit on the hand with a pitch in the second inning. As of now, its too early to know the extent of the injury, but more news should be coming shortly. As for now, Mark Reynolds took over at first base and […]

Miguel Cabrera Undergoes Successful Surgery

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera underwent successful surgery to repair his ruptured bicep tendon and is headed back to Detroit for his rehabilitation. Cabrera is out for the season but the Tigers are confident that he will be ready to go by 2019 spring training. That being said, as Cabrera's age increases and his […]

Buster Posey Takes Friday Off

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers. It is just a routine day of rest for the veteran and though he has been slumping over the past week or so, Posey is still a high end catching option and remains a must start in […]

Yuli Gurriel Not Starting on Friday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (rest) is not in the starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals on Friday. Marwin Gonzalez will start at first base and Evan Gattis will serve as the DH. Gurriel has been heating up lately, so this might be the best time to grab him in fantasy leagues. Friday […]

C.J. Cron Sitting on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Matt Duffy will bat leadoff and serve as the DH for this contest. Jake Bauers will play first base against rookie Jonathan Loaisiga. It's likely just a routine day off for Cron. He […]

John Hicks Continues to Start at First Base

Detroit Tigers catcher/first baseman John Hicks took over the daily job at first base after Miguel Cabrera (bicep) went down for the season. The best part about Hicks is he has catcher eligibility in most leagues. That makes him a bit more of an interesting addition since many catchers are not reliable hitters. Hicks is […]

Chris Davis Continues To Sit Out on Friday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Miami Marlins. Manager Buck Showalter said Davis' return to the starting lineup is "not imminent." Davis has not been in the starting lineup since Monday. He continues to work on his swing after batting .150 to begin […]

Yonder Alonso Could Miss Entire Weekend Series

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso (personal) has been placed on the medial family emergency list. Alonso is expected to miss the entire weekend series against the Minnesota Twins. Erik Gonzalez is batting ninth and playing first base for the Indians on Friday. Alonso brings along some power, but owners in deeper leagues are probably […]

Jose Fernandez Starting at First Base

Los Angeles Angels infielder Jose Fernandez is starting at first base on Friday, batting sixth. With Jefry Marte, Zack Cozart and Shohei Ohtani all on the DL, a regular spot at first base has opened up. Luis Valbuena is the regular third baseman, with Albert Pujols taking regular DH duties. Fernandez was tearing it up […]

Ryan McMahon Has Huge Fantasy Game

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon had a game on Thursday that included some excellent milestones. First, he hit his first career home run. That's a great accomplishment, and hopefully it's the first of many. Second, he started at third base. That's important because that got him third base eligibility in Yahoo, and that dramatically improves […]
