As the baseball season barrels along, we're finally starting to see more offense league-wide which has made finding useful waiver wire options easier.

Jeff McNeil Sitting Out On Sunday

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil is sitting out on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is just a routine day of the 30-year-old second baseman. Luis Guillorme is starting at second base and batting eighth against Julio Urias. After a disappointing 2021 season, McNeil has returned to form in 2022. He's slashing […]

David Fletcher Cleared To Play Catch

Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher (hips) visited a hip specialist in Philadelphia on June 2 and was cleared to start playing catch on June 4 after he underwent surgery to fix both his right and left adductor muscles on May 10. Currently on the 60-day injured list, Fletcher is optimistic he could return […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Not Playing Sunday

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. Chisholm has been pretty strong this year, but he's gone 2-for-26 with one homer, four RBI and three stolen bases in eight games over the last 14 days to drop his season slash line to […]

Brendan Donovan Drives In Four Runs

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan continues to be one of the best surprises in baseball. The 25-year-old went 3-for-5 with four RBI and a stolen base during Saturday's win over the Chicago Cubs. This three-hit performance will move Donovan's batting average to .315 on the year.

DJ LeMahieu Not Starting Against Tigers

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. With Josh Donaldson back from the injured list, LeMahieu could see more time on the bench for the Yankees if Gleyber Torres is at second base. He's been hot over the last seven days, though, going 7-for-23 […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/4/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We had yet another very high-scoring slate on Friday night, which was probably to be expected with some aces on the hill and some really good offenses with good match-ups, too. If your lineups are scoring a bunch of points and you're still only min-cashing, don't fret! You're in good company because I have had […]

Ozzie Albies Resting Friday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Albies will take the first game of the weekend series against Colorado off. Orlando Arcia is getting the start at the keystone instead and is batting seventh against Rockies right-hander Chad Kuhl. Albies has been great in […]

Nolan Gorman Expected To Return On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (back) is expected to be back in the starting lineup for Friday's day game against the Chicago Cubs. Gorman was held out of each of the last two games due to lower-back tightness. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol stated that Gorman came through his pregame work on Thursday fine […]

Adam Frazier Goes 0-for-4, Hits Sac Fly Vs. Orioles

It's been a rough start to June for Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier, as the veteran posted his second consecutive 0-for-4 game on Thursday versus the Baltimore Orioles. After riding a five-game hit streak entering June, Frazier is slashing .200/.222/.280 over the last week with two doubles and an RBI. Always known as a […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Sometimes you just have to load up on the Coors Field game and sometimes you just fade it. Last night, I hope you played the chalky Braves because they ended up hanging 13 on Colorado, while the Rockies still managed to score six in defeat. We have another Coors game on this 12-game slate, but […]

Max Muncy To Start Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (elbow) is scheduled to start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City in the next couple of days. Skipper Dave Roberts said Muncy's elbow continues to get stronger. Muncy was able to take batting practice on Wednesday and could rejoin the Dodgers lineup next week, barring any […]

Robinson Cano Optioned, Elects Free Agency

The San Diego Padres optioned infielder Robinson Cano to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, but he has elected free agency. In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of outfielder Nomar Mazara from the minors. After getting cut by the New York Mets earlier this year, Cano went just 3-for-33 with one RBI and […]

Nolan Gorman Still Sidelined

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (back) is still out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs. It will be the third straight game on the sidelines for the Cardinals infield prospect due to lower-back tightness. The 22-year-old was scheduled to take batting practice before the game, so he could be […]

Gleyber Torres Goes Deep Thursday

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres kept his hot streak going Thursday, taking Shohei Ohtani deep in the 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels. He went 2-for-4 with a double as well. The home run marked his fifth one in his last eight games, and Torres is slashing .281/.293/.614 in his last 15. […]

Jace Peterson Adds Three Extra-Base Hits

Milwaukee Brewers utility man Jace Peterson continues to perform admirably as a fill-in all over the diamond. On Wednesday, Peterson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple, an RBI, and a run scored. In his last seven games he's slashing .389/.421/1.000 with two home runs in 18 at-bats, and for the season he has managed […]

Gavin Lux Reaches Base Three Times Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Gavin Lux had a solid game Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored.

Matt Carpenter Leading Off For Yanks In Game 1

New York Yankees infielder Matt Carpenter is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Thursday in Game 1 of a doubleheader against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Carpenter has some sleeper appeal in DFS out of the leadoff spot, but the matchup against Ohtani isn't an ideal one. The 36-year-old veteran […]

Brendan Rodgers Blasts Three Home Runs In Game 2 Wednesday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers had a monster game at the plate in the second game of the team's doubleheader against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. He went 3-for-5 with three home runs, one walk, four RBI and four runs scored. His third home run of the day was a walk-off, two-run shot in […]
