FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (7/24/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There are an even 10 games on the slate tonight, and while there are a number of ways we can go, I'd recommend taking one of two high-end starting pitchers and building your lineups around them. There are some high-end stacks to consider in the Dodgers and Reds, but the Rays and Royals are also […]

Kike Hernandez Stays Hot Against Yankees

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez kept up his hot hitting Friday night, going 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored. He didn't have an extra-base hit in this one, but one single off the Green Monster would've been a home run in most parks. Hernandez now has a modest four-game hit streak, […]

Ramon Urias Plates Two Friday, Stays Hot

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Ramon Urias continued to produce at the plate in Friday's 6-1 win over the Nationals, going 1-for-4 with a single, two RBI, and a strikeout. The 27-year-old has done a nice job at the plate this season, slashing .285/.350/.415 with four home runs and 20 RBI. However, he doesn't hit for […]

Alejo Lopez Recalled From Louisville

Cincinnati Reds infielder Alejo Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Friday. Lopez played sparingly for the big club this season but fared relatively well, compiling five hits and three runs throughout 17 at-bats. Although the 25-year-old isn't expected to see consistent playing time, he is someone to keep an eye on moving ahead, primarily […]

Jeff McNeil Likely Out On Saturday

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (leg) is unlikely to start on Saturday against the Blue Jays. He wasn't available on Friday either as he continues to deal with left leg muscle fatigue. Although he is technically not injured, skipper Luis Rojas indicated that the team would take a cautious approach before allowing him to […]

Brendan Rodgers Scratched On Friday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers was scratched from Friday's lineup for an undisclosed reason.

Chris Owings Undergoes Surgery On His Thumb

Colorado Rockies infielder Chris Owings (thumb) underwent surgery to fix mallet finger on his left thumb on Friday, according to interim manager Mike Redmond, but the team doesn't have a timetable for his return.

Washington Nationals infielder Starlin Castro's administrative leave has been extended through July 29, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Mariners Pursuing Adam Frazier

The Seattle Mariners are on the fringe of the American League West race and might be only a few pieces away from competing in 2022. The Pittsburgh Pirates are willing to trade All-Star second baseman Adam Frazier, who is having a career year, and the Mariners, and the Mariners are looking into him. The Pirates […]

David Fletcher Continues Hot-Hitting Ways

Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher will head into Friday's action against the Twins slashing .426/.435/.632 over his last 15 games. Fletcher started off slow this season but has completely turned his season around and is hitting .378 over his last 161 at-bats. The versatile infielder now is hitting .305 through 54 games from […]

Luis Arraez Absent From Friday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez (knee) is absent from Friday's lineup for the game against the Angels.

Jose Altuve Looking To Finish Month Strong

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will try and lead the charge this weekend from the top of the lineup when the team takes on the Rangers on Friday. Altuve is hitting a paltry .238 in the month of July but is 5-for-12 with one double, three home runs, four runs scored and four runs […]

Ronald Torreyes Reaches Four Times In Loss To Braves

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Ronald Torreyes had a perfect day at the plate on Thursday, going 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in a loss to Atlanta.
