Week 12 Waiver Wire Watch List

Here we are halfway through June and we’ve still got plenty of fresh faces on the watch list to go along with some repeats who just won’t seem to go away. Whether it’s an injury replacement like John Hicks or a forgotten-about multi-category asset such as Kevin Kiermaier, there are again a wide variety of […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 12

Injuries suck. We've always known this, but the move to a 10-day disabled list last year along with numerous injuries to high-profile players this year have slapped fantasy owners in the face with the hard, cold hand of reality. Injuries can cause huge shifts in value for fantasy players, so it's always wise to assess […]

Hernan Perez Delivers Big Game In Win

Milwaukee Brewers utility player Hernan Perez went 3-for-5 with two runs, one home run, and one RBI in the 13-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Perez hasn't had many opportunities to start in games since the Brewers injury plague calmed down, however, looked great in the series opener against the Phillies. He doesn't hold any […]

Cesar Hernandez Adds Late Run In Ugly Loss

Ever the exemplary leadoff man, Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez stood out amongst his peers as they were completely blown out by the Milwaukee Brewers. Taking on the NL Central leaders at Miller Park Friday night, the 28-year-old recorded three hits, including an RBI double in the sixth inning that scored Philadelphia’s first run. […]

Brian Dozier Rips Two-Run Homer Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier went 1-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in his team's 6-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Dozier's highlight of the night was a two-run homer off of two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber in the fourth inning. With the return of Joe Mauer, who hit leadoff, […]

Alen Hanson Batting Second On Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Alen Hanson is in the lineup batting second for Friday's game against the Dodgers. With the Giants starting to get healthy again, Hanson's playing time has diminished but he has still produced when given the opportunity. Hanson is batting .338 with a 1.067 OPS on the year with some speed […]

Jonathan Villar is Out of the Lineup on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (calf) is not in the starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. He is not starting due to a left calf injury, but should be available off the bench. Hernan Perez is starting at second base and batting sixth versus Jake Arrieta. Villar has some upside, especially in […]

Ben Zobrist is Sitting on Friday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs just have too many talented regular starters that it becomes difficult for Zobrist to get in the lineup every game. Zobrist has been in a bit of a slump lately, but owners […]

Brendan Rodgers Tearing Up Double-A

Colorado Rockies top prospect Brendan Rodgers jacked his 14th home run of the season on Thursday. The 21-year-old infielder is considered the team's top prospect and MLB's 10th best prospect overall, and he'll likely top 30 home runs this season. Unfortunately, it's unlikely he sees the bigs this year unless there is a major injury […]

Taylor Motter Called Up By Twins To Shore Up Infield Depth

Minnesota Twins utility man Taylor Motter has been recalled by the Twins on Friday. The move was announced in conjunction with Joe Mauer's reinstatement from the disabled list. There was some speculation that the Twins might call up highly-touted prospect Nick Gordon, but they went with Motter instead. After the demotions of Miguel Sano and […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/15/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

A 15-game Main slate Friday is pretty well deserved after that weak four-gamer we had to deal with last night. Oh, and it's the weekend, too. Pretty sweet combination in my opinion. There are a handful of stud and stud-like pitchers at the top - so there's much to discuss. In this article, I will […]

Wilmer Flores Return Is “Imminent”

According to New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway, the return of injured infielder Wilmer Flores (back) is “imminent.” Flores has been out since May 27 due to back soreness, and he began a rehab assignment with High-A St. Lucie this past Tuesday. Flores isn’t going to be a savior for the Mets offense, but he’ll certainly […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Thankfully, we have a full 15-game slate to work with on Friday as we construct our DraftKings DFS lineup. There is some top tier pitching as Vegas has given three teams the status of “heavy favorite” (at least -200 odds): Astros, Indians, and Dodgers. Don’t be surprised if I have one of those arms in […]

Week 12 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 […]

Daniel Robertson Has Good Day In Rehab Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays middle infielder Daniel Robertson (hamstring) had a "good day" in his rehab. The effort keeps him on schedule to return when he is eligible June 22. Robertson looked like he was building a case to be a starter earlier in the season, but now he will likely return to a logjam that […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily 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. […]

Ozzie Albies Drives In Run As Atlanta Beats San Diego

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is learning that it's a long season with ups and downs. He had a down period earlier, but he's coming back to life again. He didn't homer on Thursday, but he did drive in a run to help the Braves beat the Padres 4-2. He's now got 41 RBI […]

Gleyber Torres Smacks Winning Home Run

With the New York Yankees trailing by two runs in the fifth inning of Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, their electric rookie would seal the victory. Gleyber Torres stepped to the plate with Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez on and delivered a decisive three-run home run to left, putting the Yankees up for […]

Shed Long Is Stuck In A Slump

Cincinnati Reds second base prospect Shed Long is stuckk in a 7-for-34 slump for Double-A Pensacola. Long moved up to Double-A in 2017 and struggled in 42 games with a .227 batting average. Long has improved in 2018 with a .259 batting average with six home runs and 23 RBI. The Reds already have second […]

Kevin Kramer Is Having A Nice Season In Triple-A

Pittsburgh Pirates second base prospect Kevin Kramer has hit three home runs over his past 10 games to give him eight on the season. The eight home runs are already more than Kramer has hit in a single season in his professional career. Kramer has fallen victim to 66 strikeouts versus just 16 walks this […]

Dawel Lugo Continues To Impress In Triple-A

Detroit Tigers second base prospect Dawel Lugo picked up three more hits Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo. Lugo has now hit safely in eight out of his last 10 games and has a .316 batting average over that span. Lugo's bat has added power over the last two seasons, as he had hit double-digit home runs […]

Luis Urias Picks Up Two More Hits

San Diego Padres middle infield prospect Luis Urias picked up two more hits on Thursday for Triple-A El Paso. Urias, 21, remains one of the better pure hitting prospects and is also a strong defender. Urias is now hitting .266 with six home runs and 21 RBI over 218 at-bats. The Padres currently have Freddy […]

Franklin Barreto Continues To Struggle In Triple-A

Oakland Athletics shortstop prospect Franklin Barreto has been off to a sluggish start this season for Triple-A Nashville. Barreto is hitting .232 with seven home runs and 21 RBI. Barreto has had two stints in the big leagues this year and is hitless in six at-bats. Barreto is still just 22 years old and was […]

Jeff McNeil And His 1.038 OPS Promoted To Triple-A

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso wasn’t the only Mets prospect promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, as second baseman Jeff McNeil also received the call to the desert. Injuries cost McNeil a big chunk of time over the last couple of years, but the 26-year-old has broken out in a big way […]

Yoan Moncada Sits Thursday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada will rest Thursday afternoon versus the Indians. Moncada is only hitting .195 over his last 118 at-bats with three home runs and three stolen bases. Moncada has 20/20 potential, but needs to limit his strikeouts. Yolmer Sanchez will slide over from third base to second base Thursday.

Scooter Gennett Scores Twice

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett went 2-for-4 with two runs in his team's 7-0 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The game raises Gennett's season batting average to .341 with a .928 OPS, 12 homers, 35 runs, 47 RBI, and one steal. It has been an impressive campaign for a player who […]
