Week 13 Waiver Wire Watch List

Now that summer is officially here, it’s the perfect time to take a hard look in the mirror. Are you a contender or a pretender? Are you close enough to be a buyer? Should you sell off assets and acquire young talent or draft picks in your dynasty league? It’s still a little early to […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 13

You can pore over stats for days, analyzing leaderboards and recent trends, but there is no substitute for watching the game itself. While you can't quantify spin rate or exit velocity with the naked eye, you get a true sense of how a player performs in key situations and the eyeball test sometimes proves truer […]

Jose Ramirez Walks Four Times on Friday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez drew four walks on Friday, finishing the game officially 0-for-1 with two runs scored. Owners in on-base percentage leagues were thrilled by his performance, while owners in standard leagues likely wished walks counted. Ramirez got off to an awful start this season, but he's catapulted himself right into the MVP […]

Nick Senzel Leaves Early With Finger Injury

Cincinnati Reds top prospect Nick Senzel left Friday night's game for Triple-A Louisville after injuring his right index finger. According to reports, the team will examine him again on Saturday. Senzel apparently hurt his finger while in the field during the first inning, although the exact cause of the injury is unknown at this time. […]

Giants Will Sit Joe Panik Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik will sit Friday versus the Padres. It’s just a routine day off for Panik. Alen Hanson will be at second base and bat eighth Friday. Hanson is hitting .311 on the season but has just four hits over his last 19 at-bats. He's a weak DFS play Friday […]

Scooter Gennett Out Of Friday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett is not in the team's lineup on Friday for their game against the Chicago Cubs. Alex Blandino will play second base and bat second in place of Gennett. This appears to be a regular day of rest for Gennett, who is batting .335 with 13 homers and 50 RBI […]

Jurickson Profar's Turn To Sit Friday

Texas Rangers utility infielder Jurickson Profar will take his turn to sit against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. Joey Gallo, Rougned Odor and Ronald Guzman have all taken their turns on the bench, and it appears as if those four are rotating through three lineup spots. When Profar is in the lineup, he offers both […]

Daniel Robertson Activated Friday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson was activated from the disabled list on Friday. The Rays made room on their roster by optioning Austin Pruitt to Triple-A, delaying a decision on Adeiny Hechavarria a little longer. Robertson will start at second base for the Rays on Friday, but manager Kevin Cash has indicated both Robertson […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/22/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Jose Altuve Slashing .379/.461/.591 This Month

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has taken his play to another level in the month of June and has an excellent matchup on Friday against the Royals. Altuve is slashing .379/.461/.591 over his last 66 at-bats with three home runs, five doubles, five stolen bases and 10 runs batted in. Outside of a small […]

Leury Garcia Activated From Disabled List

The Chicago White Sox have activated infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia (knee) from the disabled list. Garcia missed close to a month with a left knee sprain. Garcia has looked good when he gets starts, but he doesn’t get enough of them to make him worth owning in most formats at this time.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got an interesting 14 game slate on our hands. The pitching options are intriguing, but they're all fairly mid-tier guys with no true aces in good spots tonight. That should make the playing field a little more even and those who are playing tournaments can hopefully spend less time worrying about ownership and more […]

Week 13 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 […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/22/18): 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. […]

Alen Hanson Returns Thursday

San Francisco Giants infielder Alen Hanson (knee) will be in Thursday’s lineup. Hanson left Wednesday’s game after taking a foul ball off of his knee. Hanson will be in left field and is hitting first Thursday. Hanson is worth a look in NL-only leagues with Evan Longoria (hand) sidelined.

Jung Ho Kang Is Day-To-Day With Wrist Discomfort

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang is listed as day-to-day with left wrist discomfort. "He did not identify one particular mechanism of injury," Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said." Kang is hitting .269 with four RBI at Triple-A Indianapolis. He is not in the lineup for the Thursday game against the Norfolk […]

Ben Zobrist is Out on Thursday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Javier Baez will play second, while Addison Russell starts at shortstop. Zobrist has cooled off a bit lately but is still worth a look in mixed leagues.

Eduardo Escobar Diagnosed With Right Elbow Contusion

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar (elbow) has officially been diagnosed with a right elbow contusion. Escobar got hit with a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He stayed in the game until the bottom of the third, and was then ruled out in the […]

Adam Eaton, Daniel Murphy Sitting Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton and second baseman Daniel Murphy are both receiving the day off Thursday. Michael Taylor is starting in center field and hitting sixth, while infielder Wilmer Difo is at the keystone and is batting seventh against Orioles starter Kevin Gausman. Taylor is more attractive for DFS purposes because of his mix […]

Four Straight Multi-Hit Games For Asdrubal Cabrera

New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera had gone ice-cold for a bit, failing to pick up hits in five consecutive games from June 10 through June 15. Over his last five games, though, he’s been the exact opposite. Cabrera is now on a five-game hitting streak, with the latest effort being a 2-for-4 finish […]
