DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/16/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It was a frustrating slate of games on Sunday, with the weather playing spoiler to six games. As I write this, we already have one game eliminated from Monday’s slate, as well.

Well, we’re three weeks into the season and the picture is starting to clear up.

New York Yankees infield prospect Gleyber Torres continues to tear the cover off of the ball for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison left Sunday's game against the Marlins after he was hit on the left hand by a 95-mph fastball from Jose Urena.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe (shoulder) is going on the 10-day DL due to right shoulder inflammation. Recent acquisition Breyvic Valera will be called up to take his place.

Both Yankees Games Postponed Today

After having the second game of their three-game set postponed due to inclement weather yesterday, the New York Yankees were scheduled to play two games against the Detroit Tigers today.

Scott Kingery Once Again Excels

Philadelphia Phillies utility man Scott Kingery has seen hia fantasy stock continue to rise by the game, as he consistently plays different positions around the field while producing results at the plate. Yesterday against the Tampa Bay Rays, the rookie played right field and batted sixth, picking up two hits and driving in two runs. […]

Eduardo Nunez Getting Rest Day

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez is sitting on Sunday. With the temperatures in the mid-thirties, it is a well-timed day off to alleviate any additional stress for Nunez' knee. He is having a good start to the season batting .271 with seven extra-base hits. Nunez should be back in the lineup on Monday against […]

Daniel Murphy To Begin Hitting In Florida

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy (knee) will head to Florida on Monday for extended spring training.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have an ace-heavy 11 game featured slate this Sunday. There are several quality pitchers on the schedule today, as well as several suspect pitchers.

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 3

If your fantasy baseball team looks anything like most of mine, then you've got a couple of injured players occupying bench spots because your DL positions are already full. That didn't take long did it? The 10-day DL has been both a blessing and a curse for the fantasy world. On the one hand, it […]

Jonathan Villar Drives Three Run Bomb In Win

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the 5-1 win over the New York Mets. So far this season, Villar has displayed a fantastic ability to get base hits as he now holds a .333 batting average in April after a subpar .182 batting average March. Despite Villar's ability […]

Jonathan Schoop Placed on 10-Day DL

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop was put on the DL prior to Saturday's game against the Red Sox due to a right oblique strain. To take his place, the Orioles activated pitcher Alex Cobb from the DL to start Saturday. Manager Buck Showalter did not think the injury was very severe as it was […]

Javier Baez Continues To Stay Hot

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez continues to swing a red hot bat at the plate. Baez finished Saturday’s game 1-for-5 with four RBI. Baez led the way in the Cubs monsterous bottom of the eighth inning when he hit a bases loaded double to clear the bases and tie the game at that point. […]

Ketel Marte Extends Hitting Streak To Eight Games

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's win over the Dodgers. The performance extended his hitting streak to eight games, with five combined in his last two games. Marte is entrenched as the No. 2 hitter and should score plenty of runs in front of Paul Goldschmidt and […]

Devon Travis Back In The Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis is back in the lineup on Saturday. Travis underwent x-rays after being hit by a pitch on Friday, but those evidently did not discover any injuries. Often a popular name in fantasy circles, the Devon Travis love always comes from his red hot short bursts of production rather […]

Jonathan Schoop Exits Loss As Precautionary Measure

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop wasn't pulled from Friday night's 7-3 loss just to let Engelb Vielma get some playing time - and a Major League debut. Schoop had felt something in his side after he struck out in the seventh inning. Rather than risk anything, manager Buck Showalter removed Schoop, who was 2-for-4 […]

Eduardo Nunez Cranks Up Offense In First

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez hit a three-run homer in the first inning off Chris Tillman of the Orioles. It sparked a four-run first inning and the Red Sox never looked back, winning 7-3.

DJ LeMahieu Has Offensive Explosion

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu may be known for his singles, but he channeled some serious power on Thursday.
