Chicago Cubs second baseman Daniel Murphy will get a breather on Saturday versus the Reds. Javier Baez will start at second base for Murphy and Addison Russell will start at shortstop and bat fifth. Baez is the better play in DFS on Saturday versus left-hander Cody Reed.

Logan Forsythe is Sitting Out on Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This is just a routine day off for Forsythe, so he should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Gregorio Petit will bat ninth and play second base versus righty Jorge Lopez. Petit can […]

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Josh Harrison is Back in the Lineup Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison has sat out the last two games after playing on Monday.

Happy Friday, my fellow fantasy addicts.

The Cubs are home today, but, they […]

Lourdes Gurriel Snaps Out Of Homer Drought

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Lourdes Gurriel was 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. It was Gurriel's first home run since July 27.

Week 25 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Eduardo Nunez Won't Play Friday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee), who left the game early with a sore right knee on Thursday, will not play on Friday but could return to play Saturday.

Kansas City Royals middle infielder Adalberto Mondesi did all the heavy lifting to get the team to extra innings on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to push through to the win.

DJ LeMahieu Walks Off On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu hit a two-run, walk-off home run on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. On the day LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI.

Yoan Moncada Dealing With Sore Hip

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said second baseman Yoan Moncada (hip) is fighting through a sore hip but has been doing normal pregame work. Moncada has been out of the lineup for the last two days but could return any day now. The White Sox have nothing to play for and are giving their […]
