Waiver Wire Watch List - Week 10 Free Agents

It’s hard to believe we’re through two full calendar months of the season, but here we are. The contenders have begun to separate themselves from the pretenders in both real life and fantasy, but with two thirds of the season left to play there’s still time to make up ground. This week’s theme is certainly […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/3/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Sunday DFS players. Today's main slate is loaded with amazing matchups for high-priced superstars which makes finding value in cheap options more important than ever (see RotoBallers "Value Plays" article closer to game time). There are also quite a few solid options at starting pitcher in the FanDuel main slate such as Charlie Morton, […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Out Of Lineup Sunday

New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. The 32-year-old veteran has performed well this season (.294/.336/.509 slash line) but is hitting a mere .182 with eight strikeouts and just two walks in his last 33 at-bats. Hopefully, a day off will give him […]

Yankees-Orioles Series Finale Has Been Postponed

Sweeny Murti of WFAN reports that the series finale between the Yankees and Orioles originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up as a doubleheader in mid-August. Owners in daily leagues need to swap out any Yankees and Orioles players in their lineup before the […]

Alen Hanson Activated From Disabled List Saturday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Alen Hanson was activated from the disabled list Saturday. Hanson had been sidelined since May 13 with a hamstring injury. He could be avoided for now as Joe Panik returned Friday and will be the team’s everyday second baseman.

Brian Dozier Drives In Two Saturday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, and two RBI against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. The big night at the plate raises Dozier's batting average to .241 with eight homers, 34 runs, and 23 RBI on the season. Dozier slumped for most of the month of May but […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Being a fantasy writer, like being a fantasy owner, means being wrong on something of a regular basis. So when you nail one, it’s important to acknowledge (read: gloat about) it. If you heeded last week’s advice and picked up the heretofore scuffling Ian Kinsler, you were rewarded with a week in which he collected […]

The Cut List (Week 10) Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 10 of the Cut List. My suggestions from last week were looking good until Eduardo Escobar hit three home runs between Thursday and Friday. That’ll happen occasionally, but I think my suggestions have been sound throughout the year. This week, I take a look at Kevin Pillar, Adam Duvall, Gregory Polanco, and […]

Orioles-Yankees Game Facing Rain Delay Saturday

MLB.com writer Bryan Hoch reports that the Saturday game between the Orioles and the Yankees will be delayed due to the threat of inclement weather. This is not the first time this season the two teams have dealt with rain delays and postponements, so fantasy owners in daily leagues might want to consider swapping out […]

Javier Baez Not Starting Saturday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez will sit Saturday versus the Mets. It’s just a routine day off for Baez who is replaced at second base by Ben Zobrist. Zobrist will bat first Saturday and has been hitting the ball well lately. Baez should be back in the lineup Sunday.

Dustin Pedroia Placed on Disabled List

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has been put on the 10-day disabled list due to inflammation in his left knee. Pedroia, who had just recovered from off-season knee surgery, has only appeared in three games for the Red Sox this year and has tallied a single hit through 11 at-bats. Originally, it seemed […]

DJ LeMahieu Returns With A Vengeance

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu made his triumphant return from the disabled list on Friday night as he went 4-for-5 with a pair of RBI and runs against the Dodgers. It was a LeMahieu special with four singles, and he’s only got one extra-base hit in his last 11 games (dating back to before […]

Daniel Descalso Shines In Leadoff Spot

Arizona Diamondbacks utility man Daniel Descalso went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs in the Diamondbacks win over the Marlins. Descalso was moved to the leadoff spot following the demotion of David Peralta. He will likely split leadoff duties with Jarrod Dyson until someone can run away with the […]

Whit Merrifield Closes In On More Positions

Kansas City Royals second baseman/right fielder/center fielder/first baseman Whit Merrifield had a solid night on Friday as he went 3-for-3 while the team was getting blown out by the Athletics. He also did it as the team’s center fielder, bringing him one start away from qualification at that position in most fantasy leagues. Saturday, he’s […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 10) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 10, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy (knee) could be activated from the DL as soon as Tuesday, according to MASN's Mark Zuckerman. Murphy has been playing rehab games for the Harrisburg Senators of the AA Eastern League. Murphy will play for Harrisburg over the weekend and then undergo an evaluation of his knee on Monday. […]

Scooter Gennett Goes Deep Friday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored against the San Diego Padres on Friday. With the big game, Gennett is now batting .341 with 11 homers, 30 runs, and 39 RBI on the season. Many felt that Gennett would have a hard time replicating his 2017 […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It’s the first Saturday in June and FanDuel brings us an eight game featured slate tonight. This slate has a pair of elite pitchers in tough matchups, some good pitchers in cake matchups, and another potential Coors Field slugfest. Vegas projects a low scoring slate, as the 10.5 O/U in the Coors Field game is […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 10

One man's trash is another man's treasure. This is what I tell myself when I'm bidding $6 for Ryan Braun in an Ottoneu league where I need OF help or adding Zack Godley to a pitching staff that has underperformed. These players aren't without warts and could never turn back to top form this season, […]

Joe Panik Activated And Batting First Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (thumb) has been activated from the disabled list on Friday. Panik will return after being absent since April 28 with a torn ligament in his left thumb. Panik has hit .267 with three home runs and could be of use in NL-only leagues for owners looking for help with […]

Dustin Pedroia is Out on Friday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday. This marks his third straight game that he's been sidelined while he's nursing some soreness in his knee. Brock Holt is in the starting lineup and playing second base on Friday. Deeper league owners should be the only people […]

Alen Hanson (2B/OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: A former top Pittsburgh prospect, Alen Hanson seemed to have found himself a role with the Giants before injury struck. While starting the season on the bench Hanson played every game from April 25th to May 12th, and in the process performed […]

Josh Harrison is Out on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (illness) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup. It sounds like Harrison has some illness, so hopefully this is just a day-to-day type of issue. Adam Frazier will replace Harrison at second base and bat leadoff against the Cardinals.

Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller Staff League

Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason. Most of the scoring formats are more advanced, there are intense roster requirements and it’s a year-round commitment. The RotoBaller staff's lack of experience with the format was borne out by how poorly many of us drafted, making in-season improvements via the […]

DJ LeMahieu Returns on Friday

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu (thumb, wrist) has been activated off the 10-day disabled list. LeMahieu missed nearly three weeks due to a sprained left thumb and a small fracture in his left wrist. He was able to take batting practice all week without any issues. LeMahieu is back in the Rockies lineup on […]
