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 […]

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in his first game back from a broken left hand on Sunday.

Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller's Staff League

Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason.

Three Straight Multi-Hit Games For Yangervis Solarte

The thought on Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte has been that regression will come for him at some point soon, but the man simply won’t answer the door for it. Solarte had another big day on Sunday in a 9-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics, finishing 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. […]
