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 […]

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.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Brock Holt Blasts Pinch-Hit Homer On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt smacked a three-run, pinch-hit homer off of Toronto Blue Jays reliever Ryan Tepera in the seventh inning of Tuesday's 7-2 win.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar continued to hit in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the A's, going 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, and two RBI.

Luis Urias Pulls Hamstring, Possibly Done For Season

San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias was diagnosed with a pulled left hamstring. Urias was helped off the field after hurting himself attempting to leg out a grounder to first.

Mike Moustakas is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs.
