FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/14/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Thursday's four-game main slate felt a lot like when you wake up in a hotel that advertised a continental breakfast, but really just had some stale bagels and muffins lying around. Friday, however, provides us a full-brunch bar, omelet station included. We've got a 13 game slate on tap with multiple aces taking the hill, […]

Gavin Lux Could Get A Look In The Near Future

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Gavin Lux, baseball's No. 2 prospect, could get a call to the big leagues in the near future with shortstop Corey Seager (back) missing the last six games and with the Dodgers not getting much production out of their other left-handed hitters. Lux was the preseason favorite to win the […]

The St. Louis Cardinals will return to the field on Saturday for a double header against the Chicago White Sox.

Ryan McMahon Striking Out At Alarming Rate To Begin Year

Colorado Rockies first/second baseman Ryan McMahon entered the 2020 season in a prime position to take the next step and become a fantasy breakout -- thus far, that appears far from the case. McMahon has struck out in 28 of his 59 at-bats, a staggering 41.8 K%, which is an alarming jump from the already […]

Ketel Marte Racking Up Hits To Begin 2020

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman/outfielder Ketel Marte has followed up his fourth place finish in the 2019 National League MVP race by collecting a .338 average through his first 19 games this year.

Jose Peraza Exits After Being Hit By Line Drive While Pitching

Boston Red Sox utilityman Jose Peraza attempted to take one for the team Thursday, taking to the mound for the third time in his career as his team entered the ninth down by 11 runs. He was unable to complete the frame after a line drive off his right leg knocked him from the game. […]

Jeff McNeil Day-To-Day With Bone Contusion In Knee

Following up on an earlier report regarding New York Mets' third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil, it has been confirmed he suffered only a bone contusion in his left knee following a collision with the outfield wall on Thursday. He is considered day-to-day and does not appear to be a candidate for the injured list. Both his […]

Christian Arroyo Claimed Off Waivers By Red Sox

Second/third baseman Christian Arroyo has been nabbed off of waivers by the Boston Red Sox following being DFA’d by Cleveland last Thursday. Arroyo was the crown jewel of the Evan Longoria deal between San Francisco and Tampa Bay in Dec. 2017, but he is yet to pan out at the Major League level, having compiled […]

Starlin Castro On Pace For Best Offensive Season

Washington Nationals second baseman Starlin Castro has been a staple in the No. 3 spot of his club’s lineup thus far in 2020, having had something of an offensive revival. Through his first 16 games, Castro is on pace to set a new career high with a .797 OPS. The sample size is small, but […]

X-Ray On Jeff McNeil's Knee Is Negative

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil had to be carted off the field on Thursday after he collided with the outfield wall. The good news is that an X-ray taken on McNeil's knee during the game was negative. The Mets will now hold their breath and await results of an MRI McNeil is to […]

Mike Brosseau Leading Off On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Mike Brosseau is in the leadoff spot for the second time in three games on Thursday as the team faces the Boston Red Sox for the final game in a four-game series. Brosseau has been a nice surprise for the team this year. Through 24 plate appearances, he's slashing .375/.375/.875 with […]

Jeff McNeil Carted Off Field After Crashing Into OF Wall

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil had to be carted off the field on Thursday after he collided with the outfield wall. McNeil made a spectacular run-saving catch to end the top of the first inning in the Mets' matinee with the Nationals, but at a potentially huge cost. McNeil made the catch on […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/13/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The small slate is back in action with just four games comprising Thursday’s “main” pool of players to choose from.

DJ LeMahieu Picks Up Four More Hits

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu went 4-for-5 against the Braves on Wednesday, bringing his full-season batting average to .431. LeMahieu hasn’t missed a beat after narrowly missing out on the AL batting title last season, and although he probably won’t stay this hot over the entire season, there’s nothing to suggest that LeMahieu […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

The 2020 season continues to move along and with it, more challenges to find deep league sleepers. Playing time situations are still a little shaky for some teams, and lineups are anything but stable as the season crosses the quarter mark. There are still some intriguing names who are being a little underlooked that can […]

Jeff McNeil Hitless In Mets Win

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil went 0-for-5 in the Mets 11-6 win over the Nationals on Wednesday. McNeil, who returned to the Mets lineup on Friday after being held out a few games due to a minor back issue, has been in a slight slump. Over his last seven days, McNeil is batting […]

Rougned Odor Sits Wednesday, Derek Dietrich Makes 2020 Debut

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners and right-handed pitcher Taijuan Walker due to what manager Chris Woodward deemed a “mental break.” Odor’s absence paves the way for Derek Dietrich to make his season debut, having been signed last week after being released by the Cubs. While […]

Jed Lowrie To Receive More Injections In Injured Knee

New York Mets infielder Jed Lowrie has had his career hit a full stop due to left knee discomfort that has limited him to eight plate appearances since signing with the Mets ahead of 2019. The next step in his rehab is for him to receive another round of injections in his knee in an […]
