Leury Garcia Back In Action Thursday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Leury Garcia (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Luis Gil and the New York Yankees.

Luis Arraez Activated From COVID-19 Injured List

The Minnesota Twins activated second baseman Luis Arraez from the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday. He will be starting at first base and batting second in the team's second game of the day on Thursday against the Houston Astros. Arraez was on the COVID-19 injured list for about a week. The 25-year-old has appeared in […]

Marcus Semien Getting A Breather Thursday

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. After a record-setting year last year in Toronto, Semien has had a rough start to his first season in Texas. He has gone hitless in his last 16 at-bats with five strikeouts in the last four […]

Whit Merrifield Back In Leadoff Spot Thursday

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield is starting in right field and is hitting leadoff on Thursday against Texas Rangers left-hander Taylor Hearn. Merrifield went 3-for-4 with his first home run of the season on Wednesday, so he has earned a trip back to the leadoff spot for the first time since April 26. […]

Padres Close To Signing Robinson Cano

The San Diego Padres are close to signing free-agent second baseman Robinson Cano, according to sources. The New York Mets released Cano on Sunday after he hit only .195 with one home run, three RBI and three runs scored in his first 12 games of the season. However, the 39-year-old had an .896 OPS in […]

Rocco Baldelli Cleared From COVID Protocols

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli has been cleared from the league's COVID-19 protocols and will be back in the dugout for both games against the Houston Astros on Thursday.

Breakout Hitters to Watch for Fantasy Baseball Week 6

Welcome back RotoBallers to another edition of my "Breakout Hitters To Watch" series. What we're doing here is taking good, close look at the hitting data each week to see which hitters are standing out the most. The idea is to find hitters that have made changes and/or really improved this season to find start-worthy […]

Michael Busch Continues To Perform Well In Double-A

Los Angeles Dodgers second base/outfield prospect Michael Busch had another productive day at the plate for Double-A Tulsa on Wednesday. The Dodgers No. 3 prospect went 3-for-4 with two runs, two RBI and a solo home run to raise his batting average to .295 on the season. The talented second baseman has shown plenty of […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/12/22): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! This is John Brubaker once again pinch-hitting and dropping some of my favorite plays for tonight's slate. We have just a four-game slate this afternoon, the main slate on DraftKings and the early only slate on Fanduel. We'll have to get a bit creative due to it being a smaller slate, and […]

Adam Frazier Collects Two Hits In Wednesday's Loss

Seattle Mariners' second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. He was acquired in a trade with the San Diego Padres this offseason and is starting to heat up after a slow start to the year. The 30-year-old has now […]

Brendan Rodgers Dealing With A Hand Injury

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (hand) has missed the last two games due to a hand injury. He is expected to return to action Friday against the San Francisco Giants. It's unknown when the 25-year-old picked up the injury, but his hand injury isn't severe, and he remains day-to-day. He has struggled in 2022, slashing […]

Jake Cronenworth Batting .214 Following Wednesday's Game

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth's batting average dropped to .214 after Wednesday's game, in which he went 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts during the 7-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Although his walk rate and strikeout rate are sitting at 12.8% and 18.4%, respectively, he hasn't gotten it going and owns a […]

Brandon Lowe Absent On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be a routine day off for the left-hander slugger. It's not the worst time for a rest day with right-hander Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Halos. Vidal Brujan […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. In Wednesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. The infielder didn't start Tuesday's contest, but returns for a matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-handed starter Merrill Kelly. So far this season, the 24-year-old is batting .300 with a .343 on-base percentage, five home runs, and six stolen […]

Guardians-White Sox Postponed Wednesday

The game between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox on Wednesday has been postponed due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests in Cleveland's clubhouse. It was reported earlier that Guardians manager Terry Francona tested positive for the virus and wouldn't be available to manage on Wednesday, but it remains to be seen which other players/coaches […]

Terry Francona Tests Positive For COVID-19

Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not manage the game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Bench coach DeMarlo Hale will fill in as the team's interim manager until Francona can clear the league's COVID protocols. It's unclear if the skipper is experiencing symptoms of the virus. Francona […]

David Fletcher To Miss A Couple Months After Surgery

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (hip) underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix the adductor muscles in both of his legs, and he'll be out for "a couple months," according to the team. Fletcher has gotten off to a rough start to his 2022 campaign, and this injury news makes it even worse. The 27-year-old […]

Vidal Brujan Called Up On Tuesday

The Tampa Bay Rays called up middle infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan from Triple-A on Tuesday. Right-handed pitcher Calvin Faucher was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's game. We haven't gotten any word on the severity of the injury yet, but the move to promote Brujan […]

Trevor Story Bumped Down To Sixth For Tuesday's Game

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story will be batting sixth in the lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Kyle Wright and the Atlanta Braves. Story batted sixth in six of his first eight games this year, but after that stretch, he found himself in either the leadoff spot or the No. 2 spot in […]

Chris Taylor Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Chris Taylor (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Taylor fouled a ball off his left knee on Tuesday and was diagnosed with a bone bruise, so he'll take the day to rest up. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day after X-rays came back negative. […]

Max Muncy Returns To Dodgers Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is back in the lineup on Tuesday. Muncy got the day off on Monday but is starting at second base for a matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Bryse Wilson. So far, in 104 plate appearances this season, Muncy is batting .136 with a .327 on-base percentage and […]
