Kyle Tucker Called Up Sunday

Houston Astros outfield prospect Kyle Tucker was called up from Triple-A Fresno on Sunday. Tucker is a top prospect in baseball and hit .332/.400/.590 with 27 doubles and 24 home runs in 100 games with Fresno this year. He's the team's No. 2 prospect but probably won't see enough playing time to close out the […]

Yasiel Puig Plates Seven Saturday, Hits Three Home Runs

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig had a monster day at the plate in Saturday's 17-4 win over the Cardinals. Puig went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and a pair of three-run HR. He has been on fire in September and now has a .407/.484/1.111 slash line with six HR and 11 RBI in […]

Javier Baez, Kris Bryant Out Of Lineup Sunday

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Javier Baez (rest) and third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (rest) are both out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds. Daniel Murphy will play second base, Addison Russell at short, and Ben Zobrist will get the start in right field. All three of these players see regular playing time with the Cubs […]

Cody Bellinger Drives In Six Runs Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger went 3-for-5 with two singles, a three-run home run, a walk and six RBI in Saturday's 17-4 rout of the Cardinals. After a very disappointing first half of the season, the 23-year-old has turned things around in the second half, hitting .290 with six HR, 27 RBI, and […]

Aaron Judge Could Return For Red Sox Series

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) took batting practice again Sunday and could return to play against the Red Sox on Tuesday, per MLB's Bryan Hoch. Judge was activated from the disabled list Friday but did not bat in the game against the Blue Jays. The 26-year-old is having a great sophomore season, batting […]

Brandon Nimmo Homers on Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run on Saturday in a loss against the Boston Red Sox. Nimmo took starter Rick Porcello deep in the fourth inning for his 17th long ball of the season. It has been a nice season for the young outfielder, who is now slashing […]

The Cut List (Week 25): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 25 of the Cut List. This week I’m taking a look at Adam Jones, Carlos Gonzalez, Odubel Herrera, and Starlin Castro. All four players should be cut in most standard shallow formats. We’re in the thick of the fantasy playoff season and we need to own players who are actually producing results. […]

Brandon Lowe (2B/OF, TB) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays utility player Brandon Lowe went deep again on Saturday, bringing his total to five homers in just 101 plate appearances since arriving in the big leagues. Tampa’s recent surge is too little, too late for them to force their […]

Adam Frazier (2B/OF, PIT) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a forgettable first half, Pittsburgh Pirates utility player Adam Frazier has had a post-break surge that has flown under the radar in most fantasy formats. The small number of owners who have rostered him over the past two months have enjoyed […]

Christian Yelich Continues Career Season Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has been having the best season of his career in 2018. He would homer for the second straight game Saturday for the only run Milwaukee would score against Pittsburgh. The HR was his 30th of the season which is the best seasonal total of his career. He is currently on […]

Kevin Kiermaier Big Early Versus Oakland Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was heavily involved in the early offense for the Rays Saturday versus the Athletics. He would score the first run of the game, triple in the third run for Tampa Bay and promptly get knocked in for the fourth. Kiermaier has always been considered talented but could never seem […]

Brandon Belt Won’t Be Shut Down

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) got an MRI on Saturday and it showed no change in his knee. Belt won’t be shut down for now, but the club is likely to monitor his situation throughout the rest of the season. Belt had a strong first half, but has struggled in the second […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/16/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a surprisingly large Sunday slate today. The "early slate" features 11 games, and that's what we're focusing around. There are plenty of plays at all pricing levels, meaning we have multiple ways to construct lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 9/16/18. […]

David Dahl, Carlos Gonzalez Out on Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielders David Dahl (rest) and Carlos Gonzalez (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The Rockies are facing Madison Bumgarner, so Dahl and Gonzalez will sit out against the lefty starter. Matt Holliday will bat fifth and play left field, while Noel Cuevas will bat […]

Corey Dickerson Returns to the Lineup on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Dickerson received the night off on Friday against lefty Gio Gonzalez. He'll bat fifth and play left field against righty Zach Davies on Saturday. Dickerson is worth considering for DFS contests. He's solid with the bat against […]

Josh Harrison Heads Back to the Bench on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison has seen his playing time decrease heavily over the last few weeks. He's nursing a hamstring injury, so the Pirates have been cautious with him lately. Adam Frazier will lead off and play second […]

Ryan Braun is Sitting Out Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Braun has just one hit over his last five games, so he'll get a day off on Saturday. Christian Yelich will slide over to left field and bat second against righty Ivan Nova. Yelich is […]

Curtis Granderson Will Lead Off on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Curtis Granderson will lead off and play right field versus righty Ivan Nova on Saturday. Granderson has not played a bunch since being traded to the Brewers from Toronto. He went 3-for-4 with one home run and three runs scored on Wednesday. Granderson is not valuable in fantasy leagues, but he could […]

Aaron Altherr Remains in the Lineup on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr remains in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Altherr went 4-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's victory over the Marlins. He's basically only a part-time player that hits against left-handed pitching. Altherr will bat sixth and play left field against lefty Jarlin […]

Nick Markakis Drives In Three Runs On Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 2-for-3 with three RBI, a run scored, and two walks in Friday's 10-5 win over the Washington Nationals. Markakis was just 2-for-17 with no RBI in his previous four games, so this was a nice bounce-back performance. The 34-year-old has cooled down a bit in the second half of […]

Ronald Acuna Tallies Four Hits In Friday's Rout

Atlanta Braves rookie Ronald Acuna was 4-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Washington Nationals. The 20-year-old phenom was a home run away from the cycle. Acuna has been simply ridiculous in the second half of the season. In the 53 games since the All-Star break, Acuna is […]

George Springer Injures Shoulder Friday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (shoulder) is day-to-day after injuring his shoulder during a diving attempt in the outfield on Friday. Manager A.J. Hinch said that Springer could return to the lineup on Saturday. Springer might be held out on Saturday as a precaution, so make sure to check the lineup first. He's hitting a […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 25) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week.

Christian Yelich With A Homer Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich struck an early blow to help give them a quick lead over Pittsburgh Friday. Yelich would hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the first inning to help the Brewers to jump out to an early lead. Yelich is now batting .314 on the season. He provides a wonderful […]

Tommy Pham Reaches 17-Game Hitting Streak Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham extended his hitting streak to 17 games Friday versus Oakland. The double that extended the streak would also lead to Pham scoring the only run for the Rays that tied the game at 1-1. He is now batting .319 with a .415 OBP with the Rays. Pham is very […]

Brett Phillips Cleared To Pinch Hit

Kansas City Royals outfielder Brett Phillips (shoulder) has been cleared to pinch hit after he took batting practice on Thursday and Friday. Phillips should be able to return to the lineup soon, but he's hitting a putrid .198/.262/.342 with two homers and 11 RBI in 111 at-bats this year and can probably be left to […]

Delino DeShields Will Lead Off on Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields will lead off and play center field versus lefty Robbie Erlin on Friday. DeShields has put together a rough year in Arlington, and was even sent to the minors earlier in the season. He's back in the MLB, but his bat quite isn't fully there yet. Erlin has a 7.50 […]

Yasiel Puig Returns to the Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Puig sat out on Thursday as a routine rest day, but is back in the lineup for this game. He's hitting .291/.346/.520 with 13 home runs and 35 RBI against right-handed pitching this season. Puig […]
