Scooter Gennett Hitless In Return To Lineup

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (shoulder) made his return to the team's lineup on Saturday, going hitless in three at-bats. Gennett missed almost a full week due to a sore shoulder, which apparently has been bothering him all season, but he did make several pinch-hitting appearances over the past week. Gennett should be fine […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week for Week 6

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Anthony Rizzo Continues To Enjoy May

After an April to forget, Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo hit his third home run in the past four games on Saturday. Rizzo is now 6-for-19 in the month of April with three home runs with three runs and four RBI in April. Rizzo is known as a very streaky hitter, but when he’s […]

Yoan Moncada Placed On 10-Day Disabled List

The Chicago White Sox have placed second baseman Yoan Moncada on the 10-day disabled list due to left hamstring tightness. Moncada exited Friday's game against the Twins early due to this injury and was reportedly only supposed to miss two to four games. Considering Moncada's pedigree, the White Sox management likely opted for the DL […]

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 6, 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 […]

Ben Zobrist Leading Off Again On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ben Zobrist will once again be in the No. 1 spot for the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Zobrist was first in the lineup Friday over Albert Almora. Zobrist is replacing Almora in the outfield Saturday and manager Joe Maddon continues to find at-bats for Zobrist with Ian Happ struggling and Zobrist’s ability […]

Brian Dozier Falls Triple Shy Of The Cycle

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier broke out of his slump in a big way on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Dozier entered the game in the midst of a 3-for-37 slump but went 3-for-5 with a single, a triple, and a homer, falling just a double shy of hitting for the cycle. The […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 6

It was nice to see Drew Pomeranz toss a quality start (finally) and prove that he's not a carcass of a former Rockies pitcher like Jhoulys Chacin. This, however, is a disclaimer that some of these buy-low/sell-high candidates may not pan out right away. Or ever. I'm still hoping that as soon as Domingo Santana […]

Leury Garcia Hits Home Run Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia went 2-for-4 Friday with a home run. Garcia has done well filling in for Avisail Garcia (hamstring) and now is hitting .273 with eight RBI. Garcia offers more value to the White Sox than he does for fantasy owners and is best suited on the waiver wire for now.

Jonathan Schoop to Complete Rehab Assignment this Weekend

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop is set to finish off his rehab assignment at Double-A Bowie this weekend. The forecast for the Triple-A Norfolk Tides is not great and the Orioles want to make sure Schoop gets as many reps as possible before returning. Schoop will look to pick up from his slow start, […]

Yoan Moncada Exits Early With Hamstring Tightness On Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada has left Friday’s game with hamstring tightness. Moncada left Wednesday’s game with hamstring tightness and sat out Thursday. Moncada should be considered day-to-day and finished the game 0-for-2 with a walk. He was replaced by Adam Engel.

Jonathan Villar Absent From Friday's Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar (rest) will sit out of Friday's game against Nick Kingham and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Villar normally plays second base against righties, but he's still on his current resting schedule where he sits every three to four days. Eric Sogard will play second base Friday. Expect Villar to pinch hit for […]

Javier Baez Slides Down To Bottom Of Cubs Lineup

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez will be batting in the eighth spot in Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This is most likely a move to make the bottom half of the lineup a bigger threat. Baez already has seven home runs and a .279 average this season. Expect his strikeout rate to […]

Albert Almora Moved Down To No. 6 Spot

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora has been moved down to the No. 6 spot in the order Friday. It’s an interesting move, as the Cubs lineup had been cruising with him in the No. 1 spot. Second baseman Ben Zobrist will bat first Friday as he replaces shortstop Addison Russell in the lineup. Almora holds […]

Yoan Moncada Returns To Lineup On Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada (hamstring) will return to the lineup Friday. Moncada left Wednesday’s game with a hamstring injury and sat out Thursday, but was able to pinch hit if needed. Moncada has been swinging the bat very well lately and is hitting .268 with six home runs and four stolen bases […]

Giovanny Urshela Designated for Assignment on Friday

Cleveland Indians infielder Giovanny Urshela was designated for assignment on Friday. The 26-year-old utility infielder made appearances at first, second, third, and shortstop last season. He was expected to make the team out of Spring Training, but a hamstring injury kept him off the Opening Day roster. He was hitting well in Triple-A, slashing .324/.405/.432, […]

Scooter Gennett Still Out Friday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (shoulder) is still out of the lineup on Friday. Gennett hasn't made a start since last Sunday after coming down with a sore shoulder, which has been affecting his throwing. He is not having any trouble swinging the bat, as he's made several pinch-hitting appearances throughout the week. The […]

Nick Senzel Dealt With Dizziness On Thursday Evening

Cincinnati Reds top prospect Nick Senzel wasn't feeling good and experienced some dizziness on Thursday evening, according to reports. This is especially of note because Senzel had his 2017 season cut short due to vertigo. The team plans to monitor Senzel closely over the upcoming few days and see how he progresses. Senzel has appeared […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups

If you've never played on Draft Daily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. Before creating a lineup, make sure you look over the scoring system. In this […]

Jose Ramirez Drives in Three Runs in Game 2 of Thursday's Doubleheader

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez finished Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. Ramirez missed Wednesday's game due to soreness in his groin and hip, but he looked just fine on Thursday. After starting the season unable to get a hit if his life depended on it, Ramirez has […]

Five-Hit Game For Yangervis Solarte

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte just will not stop hitting. In the first game of a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday, Solarte finished 5-for-6 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, six RBI and a walk. He didn’t pick up five hits in the second game of the twin bill […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It is a full 15-game slate on Friday with seven games boasting an over/under of at least nine total runs. The CLE/NYY matchup leads the way with ten total projected runs and New York is the strong favorite. More on them much later (Hint: it isn’t good for Josh Tomlin). Speaking of heavy favorites, only […]

Week 6 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 […]

Brock Holt Nearing Rehab Stint

The Boston Red Sox look like they have more help just around the corner. Infielder Brock Holt (hamstring) was doing running drills on Thursday, which suggests he's close to going on a minor league rehab stint. Holt was swinging a hot bat early in the year, which is evidenced by his .340 average and seven […]

Yoan Moncada Has A Chance To Play Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada (hamstring) has a chance to play on Friday, according to manager Rick Renteria. Moncada would have been able to pinch hit on Thursday if he was needed, but he was not. Moncada left Wednesday’s game after an awkward slide into third base Wednesday, and the White Sox seem […]
