FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/26/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
Tonight's main slate starts at 7:05 pm eastern and features all 15 games. Another full slate of exciting games for us this Friday! In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/26/2019. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced […]

Tyler Naquin Sitting Out on Thursday
Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. He was struggling to start the season, so maybe that's why he's getting the day off. Greg Allen will slide over to left field and bat ninth versus righty Gerrit Cole. Allen can be avoided in […]

Mallex Smith is Sitting Out on Thursday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mallex Smith (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. Smith hasn't recorded a hit in his last 20 at-bats, so it's not surprising to see him getting the night off. Mitch Haniger will bat first and play center field, while rookie Dylan Moore starts in […]

Jay Bruce Sidelined on Thursday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jay Bruce (quad) will be sidelined for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. It's unclear when Bruce will return or if he'll land on the injured list. Mallex Smith gets the night off on Thursday, so Dylan Moore will make the start in left field and bat eighth versus lefty Taylor Hearn.

Roman Quinn Goes Back On Injured List
The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Roman Quinn on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain on Thursday and recalled outfielder Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Quinn had just returned from an oblique injury and was seeing some playing time with Odubel Herrera on the injured list, but he'll […]

Mike Trout In 3-For-16 Skid
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout has only three hits over his last 16 at-bats heading into Thursday's action. Trout hasn't quite looked himself since returning from a groin injury on April 15, but even when he struggles he still scores fantasy points. Trout has coaxed eight walks during this five-game lull and his on-base […]

Michael Brantley Continues To Rake
Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley continues to produce in the middle of the order, driving in two more runs while going 2-for-3 Wednesday against the Twins. Brantley has at least one RBI in each of his last four games and seven out his last 10 played. He has been a fantastic addition to an already […]

Josh Reddick Is On Fire
Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick continued his hot streak on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with his third home run of the season in the Astros 7-1 win over the Twins. There are few in the game hotter than Reddick right now, who has 10 hits in his last 15 at-bats. In fact, the veteran in the […]

Ozzie Albies Resting Against Reds
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Johan Camargo is starting at second base and is batting sixth against Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo. Outfielder Nick Markakis will serve as the leadoff hitter. Camargo has just nine hits in 42 at-bats (.214) with a homer and 10 RBI, […]

Yankees Acquire Cameron Maybin
The New York Yankees acquired outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Indians on Thursday, but it's unclear what they gave up in return. Maybin can play all three outfield positions and could see immediate playing time with all the injuries to New York's outfield in the opening month. However, the 32-year-old was hitting just .216/.388/.275 with […]

Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, Max Muncy Out Against Lefty
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, shortstop Corey Seager and first baseman Max Muncy are not in the lineup against Cubs left-handed starter Jon Lester on Thursday. It's the third straight day the Dodgers have faced a lefty, so Pederson and Muncy have now sat out the last three games. Alex Verdugo is starting in […]

Adam Frazier, Bryan Reynolds, Melky Cabrera Out
Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier and outfielders Bryan Reynolds (quadriceps) and Melky Cabrera are out of the starting lineup on Thursday. Colin Moran is at second and hitting third, J.B. Shuck is in left and is batting sixth and Jason Martin will start in center and bat eighth against Diamondbacks starter Zack Greinke. Reynolds […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Breaks Cold Streak At The Plate
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. finished 2-for-5 with two runs batted in during Boston's 11-4 victory over Detroit on Wednesday. The multi-hit performance is Bradley's first since March 30, and he's now registered just five hits in his last 44 at-bats. Known more for his defense, the 29-year-old has five runs scored, four […]

David Peralta, Wilmer Flores Sitting
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta and infielder Wilmer Flores are not in the starting lineup on Thursday. It looks to be a normal day off for both players. Ildemaro Vargas draws the start at the keystone and is hitting second, while Blake Swihart is in right field and is hitting sixth against Pirates starter Jameson […]

Clint Frazier Headed To Injured List
New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (ankle) will head to the injured list, and manager Aaron Boone said Frazier has a partial tear in his left ankle. The Yankees think it could be 10 to 14 days before he's ready to return. As if the Yankees weren't already injured enough, they're now losing their hottest […]

Re-Squeezing the Juiced - Investigating Second Breakouts From 2017
2017 was a strange year in baseball. The season shattered records and set new offensive bars for the sport as a whole, with speculation running rampant about MLB "juicing" the baseballs to create more excitement, with the end result being a home run surge that saw 1.26 home runs per game being hit - a […]

Prospect Debuts - Fantasy Stock Watch for Week 4

Jesse Winker Picks Up Two Hits
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a 3-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Winker provided the only offense for his team with a first-inning single that plated Joey Votto. Winker is batting .200 with six homers, 10 runs, and 11 RBI on the year. He is showing nice […]

Roman Quinn Exits With Groin Strain
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn left the game early on Wednesday with a right groin strain. He'll be re-examined on Thursday. It's an injury that could put him back on the injured list after getting a late start to the year with an oblique strain. Quinn had a single, RBI and strikeout in four plate […]

Clint Frazier Headed For MRI
New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (ankle) is heading for an MRI exam on his injured left ankle. Frazier has been a godsend to the beat up Yankees outfield -- Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks are all on the injured list -- hitting .324/.342/.632 with six home runs and 17 RBI in 68 […]

Giancarlo Stanton Healed From Biceps Strain
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (biceps, shoulder) is completely healed from his biceps strain, but he required a cortisone shot in his left shoulder. He will rejoin the team on their road trip to Arizona, where he could ramp up his swinging. It's unclear if Stanton will go on a rehab assignment before returning, […]

Raimel Tapia's Home Run Streak Ends At Three Games
Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia has always been a batting-average player who would struggle to bring any real counting stats to the table, but he's recently shown that he still has some real pop in that bat of his. Unfortunately, Tapia's home run streak ended at three straight games on Wednesday as he only doubled […]
