Giants Will Sit Joe Panik Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik will sit Friday versus the Padres. It’s just a routine day off for Panik. Alen Hanson will be at second base and bat eighth Friday. Hanson is hitting .311 on the season but has just four hits over his last 19 at-bats. He's a weak DFS play Friday […]

Scooter Gennett Out Of Friday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett is not in the team's lineup on Friday for their game against the Chicago Cubs. Alex Blandino will play second base and bat second in place of Gennett.

Jurickson Profar's Turn To Sit Friday

Texas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar will take his turn to sit against the Minnesota Twins on Friday.

When Profar is in the lineup, he offers both […]

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson was activated from the disabled list on Friday. The Rays made room on their roster by optioning Austin Pruitt to Triple-A, delaying a decision on Adeiny Hechavarria a little longer.

The Chicago White Sox have activated infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia (knee) from the disabled list. Garcia missed close to a month with a left knee sprain. Garcia has looked good when he gets starts, but he doesn’t get enough of them to make him worth owning in most formats at this time.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got an interesting 14 game slate on our hands. The pitching options are intriguing, but they're all fairly mid-tier guys with no true aces in good spots tonight.

Week 13 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago 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 roster […]

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Javier Baez will play second, while Addison Russell starts at shortstop. Zobrist has cooled off a bit lately but is still worth a look in mixed leagues.

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 12)

Unfortunately, there has not been a lot of news recently on the prospect front.

At this point, we're just waiting for teams to start service clocks for their blue-chip prospects; we should see […]
