George Springer Slugging .539 At Minute Maid Park This Season

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer will face Royals left-hander Danny Duffy when the two teams open up a series in Houston on Friday.

Marwin Gonzalez Rebounding With .429 Average In June

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez has begun to turn his season around, slashing .429/.500/.728 over his last 42 at-bats. Eight of his 18 hits during this stretch have gone for extra bases (one home run, three triples, four doubles) while driving in six runs. After a dismal start to the season, Gonzalez now has his […]

Trayce Thompson Designated For Assignment By White Sox

The Chicago White Sox have designated outfielder Trayce Thompson for assignment on Friday. Thompson has hit just .117 over 128 at-bats this season with three home runs. Thompson got many opportunities to make his case, but didn’t make the most out of them.

Leury Garcia Activated From Disabled List

The Chicago White Sox have activated infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia (knee) from the disabled list. Garcia missed close to a month with a left knee sprain. Garcia has looked good when he gets starts, but he doesn’t get enough of them to make him worth owning in most formats at this time.

Avisail Garcia Activated From Disabled List On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) has been activated from the disabled list on Friday. Garcia missed close to two months with a Grade 2 hamstring injury. Garcia has struggled this year, but he hit .360 on his rehab assignment over 25 at-bats. Garcia will return to an everyday role with the White Sox and […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got an interesting 14 game slate on our hands. The pitching options are intriguing, but they're all fairly mid-tier guys with no true aces in good spots tonight. That should make the playing field a little more even and those who are playing tournaments can hopefully spend less time worrying about ownership and more […]

Gerardo Parra Extends Run/RBI Streak

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra went hitless on Thursday, but he still found a way to chip in. Parra drove in one run to help secure Colorado's win, and that makes eight straight games where he's either scored a run or pushed one across the plate. Parra is also hitting .393 during that stretch and […]

Ian Desmond Sets Personal Record In Patience

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond is famous for his power/speed combination, but he seems to be trying to turn over a new leaf. A very peaceful leaf. Desmond drew three walks on Thursday, and that is astounding in its own right because he's only done that four other times in his entire career. What […]

Billy Hamilton Swipes 14th Base Thursday

Cincinnati Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton went 1-for-2 with a single, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Cubs. The steal was Hamilton's third in his last four games. His slow stolen base rate has picked up slightly and he is now on pace to steal 32 bases this season. […]

Jesse Winker Crushes Go-Ahead Grand Slam Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and a walk in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Cubs. Winker crushed a sixth-inning Randy Rosario fastball into the left center field seats, plating what would be the winning runs. The 24-year-old now has a .256/.367/.365 slash line with four home runs and 23 […]

Three Straight Games With An Extra-Base Hit For Randal Grichuk

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk started off a bit slow when he returned from the disabled list in early June, but he’s certainly turned things around in the weeks that followed. In an 8-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, Grichuk finished 1-for-4 with a home run. Grichuk is now on a […]

Leonys Martin (OF, DET) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin is only hitting .254 this season, but that is not a true indicator of the contributions that he has given of late. Martin is hitless in each of his last three games, but has a triple, five doubles, […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Colby Rasmus Returns From DL Thursday With A Bang

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colby Rasmus had an eventful first game back from the 60-day disabled list after recovering from a left hip flexor strain. Rasmus went 1-for-3 with a solo home run to straightaway center field off of Max Scherzer. Due to his injury, Rasmus only has 26 plate appearances on the season and is […]

Jason Heyward Continues To Perform Well

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward continues to perform well. Heyward went 4-for-5 on Thursday with a run scored. Heyward has struggled offensively over the last two seasons, but is now hitting .283 on the season. He is worth consideration in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues as long as he continues to hit.

Starling Marte Reaches Milestone In Loss

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte went 1-for-3 in Thursday night's game against Arizona. The only hit of the game for Marte was a significant one, though, as it was his 800th career hit and it drove in his 300th career run. The 29-year-old from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is now only a mere 2,200 hits […]

Lorenzo Cain Removed From Game With Hamstring Cramp

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain was removed from Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a hamstring cramp. This is deemed precautionary and considering it was only a cramp, this will almost certainly be a day-to-day injury. Keep posted for more updates about Cain.

Alen Hanson Returns Thursday

San Francisco Giants infielder Alen Hanson (knee) will be in Thursday’s lineup. Hanson left Wednesday’s game after taking a foul ball off of his knee. Hanson will be in left field and is hitting first Thursday. Hanson is worth a look in NL-only leagues with Evan Longoria (hand) sidelined.

Eddie Rosario Expects To Play Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (shoulder) told reporters that he expects to return to the lineup on Friday. When asked, Rosario stated, "I'll play tomorrow - 100 percent." The outfielder was scratched from Thursday's game after coming down with a sore shoulder but it doesn't appear to be anything serious. Rosario is hitting .320 with […]

Michael Hermosillo Recalled From Triple-A

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Michael Hermosillo has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. Chris Young (hamstring) returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday but could still be bothered by lingering hamstring issues. Mike Trout (finger) has been cleared to serve as the designated hitter, but he will not play the outfield Thursday. Hermosillo has been […]

Travis Swaggerty Makes Professional Debut

Pittsburgh Pirates first-round draft pick, outfielder Travis Swaggerty, will make his very first professional baseball start Thursday for the West Virginia Black Bears. He was the No. 10 overall pick in the MLB draft earlier this June. The young man out of South Alabama has some speed and a good arm. The power numbers steadily […]

Ronald Acuna To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett Friday. The 20-year-old top prospect is closing in on a return from a sprained ACL that has kept him out nearly a month. Acuna has five homers and a .779 OPS in 2018 for Atlanta. Acuna's fantasy owners will be happy […]

Albert Almora Jr. Sitting on Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Jason Heyward, Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber will cover the outfield for the Cubs on Thursday. Almora has been exceeding expectations on offense this season. However, he does not offer much more than batting average in […]

Austin Meadows In Left Field Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows will be in left field and bat second Thursday. The Bucs prospect is hitting .323 in 27 games this year. Meadows will get the majority of the playing time while Corey Dickerson is on the family medical leave list. This will be Meadows' opportunity to break into the four-man outfield […]

Ben Zobrist is Out on Thursday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Javier Baez will play second, while Addison Russell starts at shortstop. Zobrist has cooled off a bit lately but is still worth a look in mixed leagues.

Ryan Braun Remains Out on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It will be his second straight game on the bench. Eric Thames will play left field and bat leadoff on Thursday. However, Braun is not heading to the disabled list. The injury is only considered […]

Clint Frazier Continues Taking Advantage Of Playing Time

With New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner still on the sidelines since Saturday with a right knee injury, outfielder Clint Frazier continues to see consistent playing time after beginning his frustrating season in the minors. The 23-year-old started each of the three games against the Seattle Mariners, also getting a pinch-hitting appearance against the Nationals on […]
