Brandon Dixon Called Up By Reds

The Cincinnati Reds called up utility man Brandon Dixon on Tuesday, optioning Rosell Herrera to make room. Dixon, 26, will get his first taste of major league pitching after spending time in the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati farm systems. Dixon has some power in his bat but is not a good defender, which makes […]

Devon Travis In The Lineup Upon Being Recalled

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis was recalled on Tuesday and is immediately back in the lineup, hitting ninth against starting pitcher Garrett Richards and the Los Angeles Angels. It’s an interesting decision with normal second baseman Yangervis Solarte on the bench despite playing so well, but perhaps Solarte simply needs a day of […]

Ian Kinsler Returns to Top of Order

Los Angeles Angels second baseman Ian Kinsler has returned to the top of the order, batting leadoff against J.A. Happ and the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. Kinsler had been demoted after a slow start to season with Zack Cozart and Mike Trout each taking turns atop the order. Kinsler is only hitting .202 on […]

Jose Altuve Continues To Rake In Road Games

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will take on the San Francisco Giants for a two-game series before the team embarks on a seven-game road trip. Thus far it's been a fairly typical season for the reigning MVP despite a depressed .420 slugging percentage at this early stage of the season. But Altuve continues to […]

Blue Jays Recall Devon Travis

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis almost seems like a forgotten man these days, but he’s been recalled by the team from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. It’s uncertain what role he’ll play right away, as he’s been terrible at multiple levels this season. In 66 plate appearances for Toronto, Travis is slashing a putrid […]

Dee Gordon Lands On DL, Dan Vogelbach Recalled

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder/second baseman Dee Gordon (toe) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a fractured right big toe and recalled first baseman Dan Vogelbach from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. It's a tough break for the injury-riddled M's and fantasy owners, as Gordon was hitting .304 with 25 runs scored, […]

Starlin Castro Only Marlin With Multiple Hits in Loss to Mets

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro went 2-for-4 on Monday in the Marlins 2-0 loss to the Mets. Batting third in the order, Castro was the only Miami player with multiple hits in the shutout. Castro is now hitting a respectable .296 on the year, although he only has two home runs after hitting 16 […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Keeps Driving Mets Offense

The New York Mets offense as a whole isn’t doing much, but don’t tell that to infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. Cabrera caught fire to start 2018 and while he slowed down a bit, the man is still producing nonetheless. In a close 2-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday, Cabrera finished 2-for-4 with a double […]

Brian Dozier Still Scuffling At The Plate

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier went 1-for-4 with a run scored in his team's 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday. Dozier has been mired in a month-long slump, hitting just .188 with three homers, 11 runs and nine RBI over the past 30 days. On the season, the star second baseman is […]

Matt Carpenter Seems to Have Remembered How to Play Baseball

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter started out the season as one of the worst offensive players in baseball. He got an entire weekend off to work on his swing and was later even pinch hit for in a critical late-game situation. Something seems to have clicked with the veteran, though, as he's now recorded […]

Greg Garcia Exits Monday's Game With Back Tightness

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Greg Garcia was removed from Monday's game due to tightness in his lower back. Garcia took an awkward swing while at bat and was checked on by trainers, but he was allowed to remain in the game. He ended up hitting a single in the same at-bat but was later removed […]

Neil Walker Hits First Home Run Of Season

Starting at third base and batting eighth for the New York Yankees on Monday night in Texas, Neil Walker played a key role early on in his club’s third consecutive victory. In the second inning, he drove in the first run of the game with a double to left. In the fourth inning, he drilled […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

I'll be filling in for Justin on this full Tuesday main slate. Chris Sale is the top target at pitcher in cash games, priced $300 below Gerrit Cole and facing a strikeout prone Rays lineup. That will require some punt/low-priced bats to fill in lineups after, several of which will be highlighted in today's articles. […]

Gleyber Torres Stars In Texas As Yanks Win Again

New York Yankees rookie Gleyber Torres continued his sensational first month in the majors on Monday in Arlington against the Rangers. The 21-year-old drilled a mammoth two-run home run in the third inning, increasing his club’s early lead to three runs. In the sixth, he stepped up after the Rangers had briefly tied the game. […]

Dustin Pedroia Close To Returning To Boston

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) will play two more games at Triple-A Pawtucket and is expected to return to Boston on Friday, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com. Pedroia is slated to be in the Pawtucket lineup on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thus far, he has one hit in eight at-bats with a […]

DJ LeMahieu Making Rehab Progress

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu (hand) was seen throwing on the field at Dodgers Stadium on Monday. While LeMahieu was wearing a glove on his injured left hand, he was not catching with it. LeMahieu's recovery timetable from the fracture in his left thumb is unknown, but this is certainly a positive sign after […]

Leury Garcia Continues To Hit Well

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia went 2-for-4 on Monday evening with a double and RBI. Garcia is now nine for his last 26 and is hitting .276 with two home runs, 13 RBI and seven stolen bases. He is worth consideration in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.

We have a monster 15-game slate to break down today, and there are some great options across the board. There are a few high-priced pitchers on the slate you should be looking to pay up for, along with plenty of bats you want to jam into your lineups. In this article, I will be providing you […]

Daniel Murphy Still Unable to Play in Extended Spring Training

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy (knee) still hasn't played in an extended spring training game. Murphy was supposed to be playing for roughly a week now, but has yet to actually play. The Nats have not set a timetable for his return, but this will obviously delay it somewhat. Fantasy owners should hang onto […]

Luis Guillorme Starting At Third Base On Monday

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme is in the lineup and starting at third base against the Miami Marlins. It will mark the third start of Guillorme’s Major League career. Normally a second baseman, Guillorme is endearing himself to the Mets by demonstrating the flexibility to play multiple positions. Regarded as one if, if not […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/21/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It's a short nine-game slate on Monday. Two games have an over/under of at least nine total runs. Five teams are heavy favorites (-185): STL, MIN, NYY, LAD, and WSH. However, while you would think pitching would be loaded, the player pool isn't elite. On a positive note, weather shouldn't be an issue for Monday. […]

Toronto Options Richard Urena To Triple-A

The Toronto Blue Jays have optioned infielder Richard Urena back to Triple-A Buffalo, the team announced on Sunday. Urena has already had two short stints in the Major Leagues this season, and will likely have more before the season is over. Across 19 plate appearances for Toronto, Urena is slashing .278/.278/.444 with one home run, […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/21/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

As usual with Monday's, we have a smaller slate on FanDuel tonight. The pitching options are rather slim given some tough matchups, but there are several stacking options availableas a result. The Yankees stand out as the most obvious and will presumably be exceptionally chalky. Some other options to consider also include the Cardinals and […]
