Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 23

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the injured list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Digging Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 23

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the injured list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Nick Solak Homers Thursday

Texas Rangers second baseman Nick Solak went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Orioles Thursday. Solak also walked in the game and scored two runs. The rookie is off to a hot start to his MLB career batting .321 through his first 16 games. Solak has great plate discipline for a young player […]

Javier Baez Scratched From Thursday’s Lineup

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) has been scratched from Thursday’s lineup. Baez has been absent since Sunday and will be replaced by shortstop Addison Russell. Russell has been ice cold and can be avoided in DFS. Baez remains day-to-day.

Eric Sogard is Out of the Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Eric Sogard (face) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Sogard took a ball to the face during Tuesday's doubleheader and will sit this one out. Kean Wong will draw the start at second base and bat eighth versus righty Trent Thornton. This is […]

Welcome to Thursday baseball! I know football is kicking off tonight, and I'm excited as anyone. However, there is still plenty of money to be made in baseball and FanDuel has dropped some big contests for us tonight. There is also some football money on the sites, so we may see some dead baseball lineups […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/5/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Thursday once again brings us a bit split slate, with five games on the early slate and seven on the later slate. The later slate is where the money is slightly more slanted too, and therefore, that is where our attention will focus today. The late slate has two favorites who are below -200 in […]

Champ or Chump: Kevin Cron and Gavin Lux

While September callups are typically associated with Quad-A guys that fantasy owners are never going to hear from again, there were quite a few interesting names summoned this year. Kevin Cron of the Arizona Diamondbacks (and younger brother of C.J. Cron) could produce big power numbers if he gets a chance to play, making him […]

Robinson Cano Homers in First Game Back from Injured List

After missing the last month with a torn hamstring, New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano returned to the lineup on Wednesday night and hit his 11th homer of the season as he finished 3-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored. It was a good first game back for the 36-year-old, who had been […]

Nick Solak Collects Two Hits Wednesday

Texas Rangers second baseman Nick Solak went 2-for-4 against the Yankees Wednesday night. It was another quiet night for the Texas offense, but Solak has been a bright spot down the stretch of another losing season. Since being called up on August 20, Solak is batting .304 with a whopping .418 on-base percentage. The average […]

Nick Senzel Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel was a late scratch from Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to shoulder soreness. The Reds have no playoff aspirations at this point, so they may decide to rest the talented rookie for the next few days. The severity of the injury is unknown, but it seems minor. Fantasy […]

Wilmer Flores in Lineup Wednesday, Batting Fifth Against Padres

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Wilmer Flores will get the start at second base on Wednesday night and he will be batting fifth in the lineup against San Diego. Flores has been one of the hottest hitters in the league lately — when he's getting playing time that is — as he is hitting .484 with three […]

Luis Arraez Gets Breather Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. Arraez owns a stellar .343/.408/.445 slash line over 71 games this season, and while all the counting stats may not be there, he is a very solid AL-only option and should be considered in deeper mixed leagues […]

Brock Holt Batting Sixth Wednesday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Brock Holt is batting sixth on Wednesday while first baseman Mitch Moreland bats seventh and catcher Christian Vazquez hits eighth. It's a modest change from Tuesday when the six through eight hitters were Moreland, Vazquez then Holt. The Red Sox are facing the Minnesota Twins and starting pitcher Jose Berrios. The […]

Whit Merrifield Knocks Three More Hits

Kansas City Royals utility player Whit Merrifield put up a trio of hits again on Tuesday, bringing him to 174 for the season. He also scored his 92nd run of the year as he continues his quest to the century mark. The infielder/outfielder has also hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games and […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/4/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

This is a unique slate and that’s why we’re going to take a different approach here. In fact, we’re going to recommend to cheap pitchers, so that you can get as many elite bats into your lineup as possible.   In terms of weather, it looks like a pretty clean slate with not a whole lot […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 23 - Buy or Sell?

Crunch time it is as September has arrived. Once again, that means unpredictable playing time, and the need for quick roster turnover where required. Fortunately, one can use the standings and the degree to which a player is already a known quantity to try and predict the playing time. As for roster turnover, one thing […]

Max Muncy Set To Field Grounders On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (wrist) is scheduled to field grounders on Wednesday. The slugger went on the injured list on August 30. If Muncy completes the fielding drills without any complications, hitting would be the next step. It seems that the 29-year-old has managed to avoid serious injury. He is slashing .253/.375/.525 […]

Gavin Lux Batting Leadoff On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux will be in the leadoff spot for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The star prospect was 2-for-5 with three runs scored in his first MLB game on Monday night. He is a worthy starter in DFS formats for Tuesday's slate against the Rockies' right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez. […]

Ben Zobrist is Back on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Ben Zobrist (personal) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Zobrist missed nearly four months due to personal reasons, but is back with the club now. The Cubs have a logjam of infielders, so it's unclear how often Zobrist is going to play. Zobrist will bat […]

Jose Altuve Gets Night Off

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine day off for Altuve, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Aledmys Diaz will cover second base and bat fifth versus righty Jordan Lyles. Diaz has […]

Gleyber Torres is Out of the Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Torres has been outstanding for the Yankees this season, but will get a routine rest day here. Tyler Wade will cover second base and bat eighth versus righty Ariel Jurado. Wade doesn't have much upside […]
