FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (6/19/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a seven-game slate on tap tonight, but it's more like a six-gamer with the Cardinals-Braves projecting to rain out.

There are currently four teams projecting […]

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brad Miller went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a loss to the Giants on Friday.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (oblique) has a chance to return at the beginning of next week versus the San Diego Padres.

Nico Hoerner Getting Closer To Return For Cubs

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (hamstring) went through a full range of baseball activities on Friday, manager David Ross said. Hoerner has been sidelined since sustaining a left hamstring strain in the sixth inning of a 4-3 win over the Pirates in late May. There is no timetable yet as to when Hoerner will return, […]

Isan Diaz Optioned To Triple-A

Miami Marlins infielder Isan Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville before Friday's game.

In 126 plate appearances, Diaz hit .146 with a 29.4 K%. He was also […]

Kolten Wong Activated And Leading Off On Friday

The Milwaukee Brewers have activated second baseman Kolten Wong (oblique) from the 10-day injured list. He is leading off in Friday's game against Antonio Senzatela and the Colorado Rockies.

The Bigger Picture - Substance Ban Makes Things Worse (For Now)

It only took 118 years, but Major League Baseball is finally taking a hard stance on the illegal use of foreign substances by pitchers. Better late than never!

Luis Rengifo Recalled, Aaron Slegers Optioned

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. The 24-year-old has only one hit at the MLB level this season. However, Rengifo is slashing .331/.402/.568 during his time with Salt Lake. It's unlikely that Rengifo does enough to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats. Possibly, he becomes a deep league […]
