Tonight's main slate starts at 7:05pm eastern and covers 11 games. There's also an all day slate starting at 1:05pm eastern that includes a few extra early games. We'll be focusing on the main slate, where we have plenty of pricey options to look through and some value plays to fit in as well. Let's […]

Wilmer Flores Placed On Injured List

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed infielder Wilmer Flores (foot) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right foot contusion and recalled infielder Ildemaro Vargas from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Flores was initially injured on Sunday and was hitting .281/.326/.398 with two home runs, 13 runs and 14 RBI in his 128 at-bats. […]

DJ LeMahieu Leaves After Foul Ball Off Foot

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) exited Tuesday's game early after fouling a ball off of his foot in the sixth inning. The move was likely precautionary, as the Yanks were off to an 11-3 lead, but look for an update after the game. Lemahieu stayed hot in this one, going 3-for-4 with a […]

No Timetable For Scooter Gennett

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) has joined the team on their road trip, but Gennett and Reds manager David Bell said the earliest possible return date (Sunday) is out of the question. Gennett is guessing a couple more weeks, but he doesn't have an exact timetable for his return. The plan was for […]

Ozzie Albies Resting Tuesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Johan Camargo will start at second base and bat eighth against Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson on Tuesday evening. Albies has slowed down in May, hitting .218 (17-for-78) with a homer, nine RBI and one steal, so hopefully this day of […]

Aledmys Diaz Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after suffering a left hamstring strain last Friday. He is starting at second base and is batting sixth against White Sox starter Dylan Covey. Diaz has hit well (.266, five homers and 21 RBI) in limited playing time this year in […]

Joey Wendle To Undergo X-Rays Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle (wrist) will undergo X-rays on Wednesday and is hoping to be cleared to increase his baseball activities. Wendle has been out since late April and is hitting just .136/.240/.182 with no homers and two RBI in his 22 at-bats on the season. He should be able to return sometime […]

Jon Berti Lands On Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed infielder/outfielder Jon Berti (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left oblique strain and called up outfielder Austin Dean from Triple-A New Orleans in a corresponding move. Berti was shaken up after crashing into the outfield wall trying to make a catch on Sunday. The earliest he can […]

Brendan Rodgers Out Again Tuesday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers is out of the starting lineup again on Tuesday. Coming off a two-homer game, Ryan McMahon is starting at the keystone and is hitting fifth against Pirates starter Chris Archer. Rodgers has just one hit in his first eight major league at-bats since being called up last week. There remains […]

Derek Dietrich (1B/2B/OF, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Life outside Miami sure has been nice so far for the left-handed Derek Dietrich. He’s hitting home runs at a rate unlike any we’ve seen before from him, 11 HR in 96 at-bats, compared with 16 HR in 499 AB last year, his most […]

Dee Gordon And Ryon Healy Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Seattle Mariners second basemen Dee Gordon (wrist) and first basemen Ryon Healy (back) have both been placed on the 10-day injured list. Gordon is sidelined with a right wrist contusion, the same injury he was sidelined from earlier in May, so it's clear the injury has not been able to heal properly. Healy left Monday's game in […]

Devon Travis Has Another Setback

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (knee) had another setback and has yet to play in 2019 due to right knee soreness. He recently experienced more pain in his knee after ramping up the intensity of his workouts in Florida. He was sent to New York to be examined by Dr. Riley Williams, but […]

Aledmys Diaz Likely To Return Tuesday

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) is improving from a Grade 1 left hamstring strain that he suffered last Friday, and he could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday. Manager A.J. Hinch said that Diaz will be back Tuesday "if all goes well." Diaz has been decent this year for Houston as a […]

Nicky Lopez - Welcome to the Show!

Amidst a week headlined by the call-ups of top prospects Keston Hiura, Brendan Rodgers and Austin Riley, it was easy to miss the Royals’ promotion of middle infielder Nicky Lopez. However, Lopez has wasted no time proving he warrants to be fully on our fantasy radars just like the rest of the bunch. Lopez has […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/21/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Tonight's main slate starts at 7:05pm eastern and covers 14 games. There's also an all day slate starting at 6:05pm eastern that includes one extra early game. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 5/21/2019. These picks will range from some of the elite players to […]

Daniel Descalso Picks Up A Pair Of Hits

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Descalso went 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI on Monday versus the Phillies. Descalso has been getting a decent amount of plate appearances for the Cubs, but does not own an everyday role and is more useful in DFS.

Jose Altuve Took Batting Practice on Monday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) was able to take batting practice on Monday. Altuve strained his left hamstring and has been unable to do running thus far. Hopefully he's ready for a rehab assignment by the end of the week. Fantasy owners will just need to stay patient here. He should be back […]

Robinson Cano is Benched on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano has been benched for lack of hustle, so he'll be out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Cano failed to run hard down to first base on multiple occlusions during the weekend series versus the Marlins. However, this was probably a smart decision with […]

Jonathan Villar Not In Starting Lineup Monday

Baltimore Orioles second basemen Jonathan Villar (rest) is getting his first day off of the season on Monday. The 28-year-old is having a decent start to the season, tallying 27 runs, five home runs, and 19 RBI to go along with nine stolen bases over the first 46 games. Hanser Alberto will start in his place […]

The Cut List (Week 8) - Time to Let Go?

May is half over. That's scarcely believable, but it's true. Much more believable but equally true: there are plenty of players that should be axed. April showers can't bring May flowers for everyone, and some players even got that proverb mixed up: they are following up April flowers with damp May production. This analogy is […]

Jed Lowrie Moved To 60-Day IL

New York Mets second basemen Jed Lowrie (hamstring) has been moved to the 60-day IL. Lowrie has already spent 53 days on the 10-day IL so this move is not a sign that he will be out long term. However, there has been little to no news since he suffered a setback early last week, […]

Eric Sogard Scratched From Lineup Monday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Eric Sogard (thumb) has been removed from the lineup Monday with a left thumb sprain. Sogard was originally slated to hit leadoff in the Blue Jays' Monday matinee against the Red Sox. Since joining the Blue Jays this season, Sogard has been on a tear, hitting .295 with a .904 OPS […]

Barrel Leaders - Statcast Hitter Studs and Duds (Week 8)

We're back to revisit Barrels this time but with a slight twist. Back in Week 4, I looked at players at the very top and bottom of the Statcast leaderboard for Barrels per Plate Appearance. To check out that analysis and a detailed explanation of what makes a Barrel so valuable, click here. To differentiate […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

In the blink of an eye we find ourselves well into the latter-half of May, and as always, we are still trying to find answers and long-term truths. While it wasn't necessarily a week of attention-grabbing headlines, you may have noticed that I have continuously remarked about the surprising starts for the season, so let's […]

Ryan McMahon Hits Two Home Runs

In a late push to save his playing time, Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon went yard twice against Philly on Sunday. It was McMahon's first start of the series, and he took full advantage as he drilled solo shots in the fourth and sixth innings of the team's fourth-straight loss. McMahon was seemingly handed the […]

Whit Merrifield Walks Twice Against LAA

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield was held hitless in Sunday's game, but he still walked twice and scored a run. Considering Merrifield is a leadoff hitter known for his on-base skills and tendency to steal, it would make sense that he'd walk regularly, but Merrifield hasn't been doing that much recently. In fact, […]

Jose Peraza Homers In Loss

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jose Peraza went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in an 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Peraza connected for the two-run blast in the ninth inning, after the game was out of hand. The young infielder has really struggled this season, hitting .203 with four homers, 14 runs, […]
