Nick Senzel To Play Outfield In Instructional League

Cincinnati Reds prospect Nick Senzel (finger), the team's top prospect, played second base at Triple-A Louisville this year, shortstop in big league spring training and is in Arizona this week to learn the outfield during the instructional league. The 23-year-old will play in games starting on Oct. 1, and the Reds envision him playing a […]

David Dahl is Sitting Again on Tuesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's not surprising to see Dahl out of the lineup since he's hitting .200/.228/.327 off left-handed pitching this season. He'll join fellow outfielder Carlos Gonzalez on the bench. Matt Holliday will bat cleanup and play […]

Yasiel Puig is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Puig has been on fire at the plate and owns a 1.690 OPS over the last week. Matt Kemp will play right field and bat fifth versus Kyle Freeland on Tuesday. Kemp does not have […]

Jason Heyward Returns to the Lineup on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (hamstring) returns to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs may elect to ease Heyward back into action since sometimes hamstring issues have a tendency to linger. Heyward will bat seventh and play right field versus righty Matt Andriese. Heyward is worth considering for DFS […]

Delino DeShields Will Lead Off on Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields will lead off and play center field against lefty Blake Snell on Tuesday. DeShields is basically a part-time player that bats against left-handed pitching. He's been disappointing at the plate this season, but has some fantasy value because of his speed. However, Blake Snell has been basically untouchable this season, […]

Billy Hamilton is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine day off for Hamilton after going hitless over his last three games. Mason Williams will bat seventh and draw the start in center field versus righty Chase Anderson. Williams can […]

Ryan Braun Remains Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday. Braun has not been hitting very well lately, so that could be part of the reason he's seeing more of the bench. Curtis Granderson will lead off and play right field versus righty Michael Lorenzen. […]

Harrison Bader is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Bader did not start on Monday, but came off the bench and hit a three-run home run. Bader will bat eighth and draw the start in center field versus righty Anibal Sanchez. It's tough to […]

Adam Eaton is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Eaton sat out two straight games, but is back and ready to go on Tuesday. Eaton will lead off and play right field versus righty Sandy Alcantara. DFS players might want to stay away from Eaton on […]

Odubel Herrera is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. He'll join fellow outfielder Nick Williams on the bench against lefty Steven Matz. Roman Quinn will draw the start in center field and bat third against Matz. Quinn continues to swing a hot bat, so […]

Aaron Altherr is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Altherr has not performed well this season, but does hit better against left-handed pitching. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus lefty Steven Matz. Altherr is worth considering for DFS contests, since he seems to […]

Corey Dickerson is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This will be a rest day for Dickerson against the left-handed starter. Pablo Reyes will lead off and play right field versus lefty Eric Skoglund. Reyes has been hot with the bat since being called […]

Andrew Benintendi, Rafael Devers Sitting on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) and third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Both left-handed hitters will take a rest day versus the left-handed starter. Brandon Phillips will play third base and bat sixth, while Brock Holt will play left field […]

Nick Delmonico Scratched With Stiff Neck

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico (neck) was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday with a stiff neck from a dive in the outfield he attempted on Sunday. Ryan LaMarre is in left field and is hitting seventh against Indians ace Corey Kluber on Tuesday. You should obviously be avoiding LaMarre in DFS. Delmonico […]

Mookie Betts is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (side) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. He was forced to exit during Sunday's game due to left side soreness. It does not appear to be serious, so hopefully he'll return to the starting lineup soon. J.D. Martinez will bat third […]

Denard Span Hitting .200 Over Last 40 At-Bats

Seattle Mariners outfielder Denard Span is having a tough final month of the season and is hitting only .200 in September through 40 at-bats. He currently is in a 3-for-18 slump at the plate after a solid run at the plate in June and July. He is hitting only .259 over his last 48 games […]

Marwin Gonzalez Slugging .495 Over Last 107 At-Bats

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez has hits in six of his last seven games played heading into Tuesday night's action. Gonzalez has enjoyed a strong second half of the season and is slugging .495 over his last 107 at-bats. After a dismal first half of the season, Gonzalez is slashing .278/.346/.512 since the All-Star break […]

Aaron Judge Returns To Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. He's playing right field and batting second against Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi. At long last, Judge is finally back after fracturing his wrist in late July. He had another simulated game Tuesday morning and hit an opposite-field home run, […]

Aaron Judge Takes More Simulated At-Bats

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) took part in another simulated game -- his second in as many days -- on Tuesday against minor league pitcher Adonis Rosa.

Tim Tebow Expected To Return Next Year

New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow is expected to return for a third professional season in 2019, according to assistant general manager John Ricco. Tebow's season ended in late July when he broke the hamate bone in his right hand, which required surgery. The 31-year-old had hit .317/.348/.429 in June and July with Double-A Binghamton. […]

Michael Conforto Has Monster Day on Monday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto went off on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Conforto finished the day 3-for-5 with a home run, double and six RBI.

Ronald Acuna Bounces Back On Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna rebounded from an 0-for-5 outing on Sunday by going 3-for-5 with an RBI on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Acuna has been one of the best players in the entire league during the second half of the season, so a slump was unlikely. The 20-year-old is slashing .296/.371/.575 this […]

Kevin Pillar Goes Deep On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar was 2-for-4 with a solo shot in Monday's 5-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Pillar has always been known for his defensive prowess, rather than his bat, and 2018 has been no different. The 29-year-old has a .248 average to go along with 14 homers, 56 RBI, 61 runs […]

Joc Pederson Goes Yard Twice Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson had a nice day at the plate in Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies. Pederson went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs, and three RBI. The 26-year-old is on another one of his hot streaks and is now hitting .310 with four HR and five RBI in 45 […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 25

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Hot Prospects to Watch Week 25: Mejia, Mullins, Tellez, Reid-Foley

Can you believe that the fantasy baseball season is almost over? It's well into the fantasy playoffs now, so this is the time for owners to start planning ahead for next season. Probably the hottest prospect this month who will maintain his prospect status heading into next season is Francisco Mejia. After homering twice in […]

Domingo Santana Clutch Off The Bench Again Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana has come up clutch off the bench the last two days. Santana has homered as a pinch-hitter in each of the past two games. The two HR bring his season total up to five. Santana has not been getting many starts down the stretch. In the past five games that […]

Curtis Granderson Scores Three Times Monday Versus Reds

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Curtis Granderson made his start Monday versus Cincinnati count. He would reach base three times and would come around to score on all of them. It is the second time in his last three starts that he has scored three times. Overall, Granderson is not much of a fantasy option by outfielder […]

Christian Yelich Makes History Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich did something very rare in the baseball world on Monday. He would hit for the cycle for the second time this season. There have been a handful of people to do that in history. The unique part is that both were against the same team, which had never happened before. […]
