Jed Lowrie Stuck In Cold Streak

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Thursday's win over the Rays. The 34-year-old started the season on fire but is hitting just .204 with a .302 on-base percentage and a .296 slugging percentage in his last 15 games. Lowrie still has a solid .299/.362/.493 slash line for the season […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/1/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

As we welcome the month of June, hopefully much of the Spring showers are behind us. The rain - and rainouts - have gotten a bit out of hand. Does it sound like I got burned by the Yankees - Orioles rainout? Because I most certainly did. Anywho, beautiful 15 game slate on deck for […]

Week 10 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 […]

Week 10 Points League Waiver Wire Targets and Drops

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, […]

Ozzie Albies Drives In Run To Help Braves Beat Nats

Atlanta Braves shortstop Ozzie Albies didn't go deep on Thursday night. Still, he helped his team win, going 2-for-3 with an RBI. He also scored a run himself, so he certainly was beneficial for his owners' stat lines. Right now, he looks like he could definitely crack the 30-homer, 30-steal mark by the end of […]

Dustin Pedroia a Late Scratch on Thursday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup. Brock Holt will be taking over at second base while Blake Swihart will start in right field. The reason for that scratch is due to left knee soreness, although it is not deemed to be very serious. Pedroia has tallied […]

Dee Gordon Activated From Disabled List Thursday

The Seattle Mariners have had a lot of key pieces miss time so far this season, but they received some good news on Thursday. Second baseman Dee Gordon has recovered from the fractured big toe that saw him miss the past nine games. Gordon will be batting at the top of the order on Thursday when […]

Chris Taylor is Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (rest) is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Phillies. Taylor has been struggling lately, so he could definitely use a night off. He's struck out nine of his last 13 at-bats, but is still hitting fairly decent over the last two weeks. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start […]

Ian Kinsler Stays Hot

Los Angeles Angels second baseman Ian Kinsler has continued his hot streak, going 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored on Wednesday. He is now 8-for-10 with three doubles, a home run and four runs scored in his last three games. Wednesday's tilt brought him up to a .217 average on the year. A […]

Gordon Beckham Drives In First Run Of Season

Seattle Mariners infielder Gordon Beckham drove in his first run of the season in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Rangers. Beckham was brought up from the minors to provide stability after the news broke that second baseman Robinson Cano would be suspended for 80 games. Beckham, the once prized prospect of the White Sox organization, […]

Jose Altuve Has Great Matchup Thursday To Stoke Hot Streak

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is hitting everything in sight and will have a favorable matchup when he takes on Drew Pomeranz and the Red Sox on Thursday.

Ronny Rodriguez Called Up, Grayson Greiner Sent Down

With shortstop Jose Iglesias (hip) hobbled up and listed as day-to-day, the Detroit Tigers have called up infielder Ronny Rodriguez. Rodriguez is off to a hot start at Triple-A Toledo, slashing .318/.341/.540 on the year. Most recently, he went 5-for-5 on Wednesday, hitting for the cycle with a pair of home runs. He'll figure into […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 9)

Juan Soto is running the major leagues. Is that an overstatement? Absolutely. Will that be an overstatement in three years? Probably still yes but there's a shot the answer is no. That's what makes Soto so intriguing to watch. In addition to Soto continuing his high-level play early in his career, we are seeing a […]

Welcome to Week 9 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends be positive or negative.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/31/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a nine-game slate on tap for this Thursday, where we will likely see Clayton Kershaw back. He has been on the DL for nearly a month and will make his return against the Phillies. The initial worry is that he won't be going deep into games and is, therefore, not worth his salary. In […]

Danny Espinosa Released By Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers minor league shortstop Danny Espinosa has been released. Espinosa was signed to a minor league deal May 6 as possible depth after Corey Seager went down with Tommy John surgery. Espinosa has now been released by two minor league teams this year, as he started out in the Blue Jays system. It […]

Alen Hanson Could Return Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Alen Hanson (hamstring) could return from the disabled list Friday, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Hanson was hitting .298 with four home runs and 12 RBI prior to landing on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. Unfortunately for Hanson, second baseman Joe Panik (thumb) is also expected to return […]

Joe Panik Could Return Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (thumb) could return from the disabled list Friday, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Panik has been out since April 28 with a torn ligament in his left thumb. Panik should return to everyday duties at the keystone, which is bad news for middle infielder Kelby Tomlinson. Panik was […]

DJ LeMahieu is On Track to Return Friday

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu (thumb, wrist) is currently on track to return from the disabled list on Friday. He was placed on the disabled list May 14 with a sprained left thumb and a small fracture in his left wrist. LeMahieu has been taking batting practice all week without any issues. He should […]

Devon Travis' Hit Streak Over At Five Games

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Devon Travis was off to a surprisingly productive start upon his recall to the Major Leagues recently, but for now, that came to an end. On Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox, Travis finished 0-for-4 with a strikeout. The effort ends a five-game hitting streak for Travis that saw him pick […]
