Marcell Ozuna Back In Lineup, Batting Fourth Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (shoulder) is batting fourth and playing left field in Sunday's game against the Reds. Ozuna was activated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday but did not play, so this will be his first action since returning. While relatively disappointing, Ozuna has put up decent numbers this season, posting a […]

Albert Almora Jr., Ben Zobrsit Out Of Lineup Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) and utility man Ben Zobrist (rest) are not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Nothing was reported in terms of injuries, so it appears to be just a routine day off. Daniel Murphy will start at second with Ian Happ patrolling center field with Kris […]

Giancarlo Stanton Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Tigers

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Tigers. Stanton had played in 85 straight games per MLB.com's Joe Trezza, so this is merely a well-deserved day off. Gary Sanchez will hit in the DH spot with Brett Gardner and Andrew McCutchen manning the corner […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a relatively small Sunday slate, which is the case more often than not. With that being said, there are 15 total games today. Since these games are broken down into two slates, I'll be covering both slates. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel […]

Khris Davis Reaches 40 Homers For Third Straight Season

Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis homered in a comeback that fell short in an 8-7 loss to the Mariners Saturday. Davis leads the majors in homers with 40; he is second only to J.D. Martinez in RBI (105). This was the third straight season that he has surpassed 40 HR and 100 RBI. He is […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Goes Deep On Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had a triple and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. After a dismal offensive start to the season, Bradley has really picked it up at the plate. In his past 30 games, the 28-year-old has a .291 average to go along […]

Adam Frazier (2B/OF, PIT) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier has found a way into the lineup and onto the fantasy radar. The Pirates have fallen out of the playoff race in recent weeks, but it is not for lack of effort or results from Frazier. […]

Joey Wendle (2B/3B/OF, TB) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Since June 28, Tampa Bay Rays utility man Joey Wendle has failed to record a hit in just eight of 50 games played, and one of those was just a pinch-hit appearance. A two-hit night on Saturday gave him 19 such efforts […]

The Cut List (Week 23): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 23 of the Cut List. Corey Dickerson, Michael Conforto, Maikel Franco, and Max Kepler should be cut in all standard league formats as we head into playoff time. You should be scouring the free agent list so you can put yourself in the best position to win each day. Believe me, the […]

Trey Mancini (1B/OF, BAL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Patience is key, particularly with young sophomore players. Realistically, it isn’t patience as much as it is striking while the iron is hot in this case. Very few managers likely held onto Mancini during his rough patches this season (May-July). Mancini has rewarded those been […]

Kris Bryant Produces In Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) made his first start of his return from injury Saturday versus Philadelphia. He would collect two hits and score a key run as he shows he is still a really good hitter. He has returned along with Addison Russell to create a logjam at three positions (3B, 2B, […]

Delino DeShields Activated From The Disabled List

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields (finger) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday. DeShields had been out since fracturing his finger after being hit by a pitch August 16. DeShields did not go straight back into the lineup Saturday, with Joey Gallo playing center field instead. Gallo in center field presents the Rangers with […]

Kyle Schwarber Strikes Key Blow Saturday Versus Phillies

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber created one of the key moments of the game Saturday versus Philadelphia. With the Cubs up 2-0 and two runners on with two outs, Schwarber came up. He would crush a ball that at first looked like it would clear the fence but instead hit off the top. Both runs […]

Ian Happ Flashes Power Saturday Versus The Phillies

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ reminded fans why he is so exciting Saturday versus Philadelphia. Happ is part of a rotation full of above-average talent trying to fill several positions for the Cubs. He is a former #9 overall pick with plus power but struggles with his batting average. He would hit his 14th homer […]

Brandon Lowe Shows Off Power Saturday Versus Cleveland

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe contributed Saturday versus the Indians. He would come around to score the first Tampa Bay run of the game. He would also homer to provide the final run for the team as well. Lowe has been hot over his past eight games. He is 9-for-19 with seven runs scored, […]

Kevin Kiermaier Leaves Game Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier left the game Saturday versus Cleveland. After the game, he said that his back had been bothering him for a week and it acted up again after a particularly hard throw. Kiermaier expects to play again Sunday so the issue seems more like something owners will just have to […]

Matt Kemp Plays The Hero With Home Run Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp came up big for his team in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, going 1-for-4 with a three-run home run. Kemp put his team ahead in the eighth inning with a shot off of Archie Bradley, helping to secure the win and a tie for the top of the […]

Hunter Renfroe Goes Deep Twice

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe popped a pair of solo home runs Saturday against the Colorado Rockies. After concluding a monster August where he registered a .935 OPS, smacked nine long balls and drove in 27, Renfroe picked up where he left off by taking starter Jon Gray deep in his first two at-bats. […]

Nick Williams is Back in the Lineup on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Williams is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Williams has seen his playing time decrease lately due to the emergence of Roman Quinn. Williams will bat fifth and play right field versus righty Kyle Hendricks. He's worth a look as a cheap sleeper outfielder on […]

Franmil Reyes Goes Deep Again

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes hit his 13th home run Friday against the Colorado Rockies. After crushing a walk-off in extra innings Thursday, Reyes fourth inning dinger on Friday proved to be the decisive play in the Padres shutout. The 23-year-old rookie is feeling at home at the dish, hitting .438 and cranking four […]

Aaron Altherr, Dylan Cozens Called Up

The Philadelphia Phillies called up outfielders Aaron Altherr and Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley with rosters expanding on Saturday. Shortstop Pedro Florimon (foot) was also activated from the 60-day disabled list. Altherr struggled mightily earlier this year and was sent down after hitting .171 with six homers and 33 RBI in 210 at-bats. Cozens […]

Marcell Ozuna Back With Cardinals After DL Stint

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (shoulder) was activated off of the 10-day disabled list on Saturday morning. With the rosters expanding, it only made sense to activate him, even if he is currently limited in what he can do. Tyler O'Neill has been fantastic in the Cardinals outfield, so there is no immediate rush […]

Andrew McCutchen Leading Off In Yankees Debut

Newly acquired New York Yankees outfielder Andrew McCutchen will be batting leadoff and starting in right field in his Yankees debut on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. McCutchen was acquired from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday and gives the Yankees a veteran bat who offers insurance for Aaron Judge's injury. This transaction was a […]

Chris Shaw Will Play Every Day

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said outfield prospect Chris Shaw will play left field every day to close out the season. It makes sense with Andrew McCutchen now in New York and Steven Duggar (shoulder) likely out for the year. Shaw was batting .259 with 24 home runs and 65 RBI in 101 games […]

Brewers Acquire Curtis Granderson

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired outfielder Curtis Granderson from the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night in exchange for 21-year-old outfielder Demi Orimoloye. The veteran outfielder hit .245/.342/.430 with 11 home runs in 104 games with the Blue Jays this year, and he'll be a nice left-handed power bat off the bench. Granderson can also help […]

Billy McKinney Just Keeps Raking

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Billy McKinney was 3-for-5 at the plate on Friday night against the Miami Marlins. He has been scorching hot since coming over the to Blue Jays in the J.A. Happ trade as he now has a .395 average with three homers and 10 RBI through 12 games with the team. McKinney […]

Andrew Benintendi Crushes Solo Shot in Defeat

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi was responsible for the team's only run during Friday's 6-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Benintendi smoked a Juan Minaya pitch in the eighth inning for his 16th big fly of the season. Like a lot of players on the Red Sox, Benintendi has enjoyed a fantastic fantasy […]
